NEBRASKA'S SIDE
STUDENTS AND PROFS GIVE VIEWS IN DAILY NEBRASKAN
The Faculty Is Generally Favorable--The Students Are Divided.
The Daily Nebraskan of a recent date had the following to say about the resumption of athletic relations with Kansas:
The Nebraskan has been at some pains to gather together the expressed sentiment of a number of prominent students and of some of the faculty, as being what Nebraska thinks about the renewal of athletic relations with Kansas:
John Uhl: If Kansas will come half way, I am in favor of it.
Paul Ewing: I am unalterably opposed to any renewal of athletic relations with Kansas. We can afford to do without the game, and they have never treated us white.
Benedict: I think that if Kansas wants to resume relations, we ought to accept. They always afford us a good game.
Skeen: Not unless Kansas plays the penitent.
Pugsley: If Kansas gets on her knees and implores our pardon we ought to give the matter due consideration, but not before.
Crites: If Kansas will take the initiative, Nebraska ought to do the fair thing and respond.
Morse: I am not in favor of renewing relations. I remember how they treated the baseball team down there two years ago.
Professor Aylsworth: "As a matter of principle, I believe it would be a good thing to renew athletic relations with Kansas.
Hoar: I don't know. It seems to me that if Kansas wants to resume relations badly enough to take the initiative, we ought to accept.
Pro. W. H. Caldwell: "I am not acquainted with the details
Cy Mason: Not unless Kansas is willing to apologize and behave herself.
Gibson: I am strongly against it. It would look like showing the white feather after the way she has treated us.
Lundin: I am in favor of it just as soon as they will come to time.
Chancellor Andrews: "While I cannot say that I am anxious to resume athletic relations with Kansas, yet she is our neighbor institution and I would like to see good relations prevail".
Dean Pound: "In regard to renewing relations with Kansas, I have nothing to say, if they want to renew relations with us let them submit a proposition and we will act upon it."

BEAT FT. SCOTT 29 TO 0.
Freshmen Close Season With Magnificent Victory=-Have 221 Points. Their Goal Uncrossed.
The freshman foot ball squad returned home from Ft. Scott yesterday morning after drubbing their High School 29 to 0.
NUMBER 20
This game finishes the season for Hamil's boys with the possible exception of Midland College of Atchinson which is now considering a proposition from Mgr. Lansdon. The Ft. Scott team was under Mr. Lansdon's direction last year and this added greatly to the spirit of the contest.
At no stage in the game did the freshmen have reason to fear even their goal line being crossed. The Ft. Scott boys made their five yards but three times while the '09ers were not held for downs in either half. Four touchdowns were made in the first half, one in the second.
Ft. Scott won the toss and Kansas University kicked off. The High School boys foiled to make their gain. The freshmen fumbled the ball to Ft. Scott and again the High School boys failed to gain. The freshmen pushed Crowell across the line and Dahlene sent the leather oval between the posts. The next three touchdowns were made by Crowell, Cohn and Dahlene by hard line bucking. The High School boys foiled all attempts to successfully skirt the ends. Two of the touchdowns in this half were made after carrying the ball for 70 yards by 2, 3, 5, and 6 yards at a clip on off tackle formation.
In the second half the nervy little High School boys played like fiends and held the freshmen down to but one touch down by Dennis. This made the final score 5 touchdowns and 4 goals, 29-0.
The freshmen have made, this season, 221 points with never a point against them.
Professor William C. Stevens of the Botany department, spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on "Happiness in Life." Prof. Stevens thinks that if a man is engaged in a work with which he is in sympathy and will put his best efforts into it, he will be as pleasantly situated as he should ask. "I once heard a speaker say from this platform that college days are the happiest of life, as if the days after college were of the forty days in the wilderness kind, but I have not found them so."
Professor Stevens Speaks.
WOULD RESUME
KANSAS ASKS NEBRASKA FOR CONFERENCE.
World Form Tri-State League---
The Attitude of Nebraska
Considered Friendly.
The Athletic Board met Monday noon and passed a motion with the primary purpose of resuming athletic relations between the Universities of Kansas and Nebraska. The motion as drawn up by Professor Walker and unanimously passed, reads as follows: "Moved, that the secretary be instructed to ask the athletic board of the University of Nebraska to appoint representatives, time, and place for a meeting with representatives of our athletic board with a view to the resumption of athletic relations between the Universities and, if possible, to the formation of a tri-state league between the Universities of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri,"
During the past week much has been said among the students in regard to the step likely to be taken by Kansas, and the sentiment is in favor of resumption almost unanimous among the students and faculty. This is the only manly way Kansas had to get at Nebraska, and if the purpose of the athletic board fails now, Kansas will have done her duty.
Will Lecture on Fish.
it is unfortunate that the average man knows so little about the daily life and habits of fishes. He can can tell you a great deal about birds, and dogs and dry land creatures in general, but of fishes he knows only that they are good to eat and hard to catch. It is refreshing then to find a man who has studied the fishes in their native haunts and who can show you with photographs just how the fish behave toward one another and how they get their living.
Such a man is Dr. Reighard of the University of Michigan, who will lecture before the Sigma Xi in Snow Hall Thursday evening. This lecture will interest everyone and all are invited. No admission will be charged.

THE AFTERMATH.
Boys in Good Shape for Indians--
Washburn Got the Better of
the Press Notices.
The hardest remaining game of the season comes with the Indians on Saturday. The men are in fine condition after the hard game with Washburn, but all are stiff and sore from the terrific line plunges of the Topeka eleven. Although Kansas did not play their usual good game, they deserved more credit than the Topeka and Kansas City papers gave them. Washburn is given credit for gaining both of her touch downs on straight foot ball, while Kansas made her points on flukes. The first touch down was made for the Congregationalists by Caldwell, who blocked Pooler's punt and the second score was made on eight yards of line plunging. Washburn in order to gain eleven points, had to go only 15 yards—a feat which most any team could have done. K. U. deserved 18 points more than Washburn deserved 11 points.
The out come of the game Saturday is a matter of conjecture. The Indians were beaten by Oklahoma and Missouri earlier in the season, but it is rumored that three or four of their last year's players are back and consequently their real strength is unknown. At any rate the class of ball that K. U. played against Washburn will not win from the Indians. With the Houser brothers back of the line, Haskell will have an offense that will be as hard to stop as Washburn's.
The line up will probably be the same as last Saturday, although Wilson may be used as a quarter. Meyers was out last night and may be able to play his old position at left half, Saturday. Waring's good showing at full in the Topeka game, insures him that position for the rest of the season. He was one of the most consistent ground gainers when Kansas had the ball.
Good rooting will pe necessary in the coming game. Haskell will be well represented by her supporters and their yelling has always been a feature of pasts contests. All rooters should take the north bleachers and give some concerted yells.
The railroad officials have offered a one and one-third rate on all railroads from all points within 100 miles of Lawrence during the Art Exhibit to be held in the new Museum of the University of Kansas from Nov.22,to Dec.13.The rates will be on sale Nov.6,9,return Dec.11th.
Count Maurice de Brunoff, who owns the Tissot collection of paintings, will be here at the opening of the exhibition, Nov. 22, and will speak on the life of Tissot.
