Hovey, a senior member of the board, was chosen to fill the position of managing editor made vacant by the selection of Mr. Roberts for editor.

A MONEY MAKER
RECEIPTS OF THE NEBRASKA GAME $2919.
Of This Amount Cornhuskers Got $1336—After Expenses Kansas Has $600.
Figures that have just been compiled by Manager W. C. Lansdon show that the gate receipts for the Nebraska game passed the three thousand dollar mark. Of this amount Nebraska received over half as their share of the proceeds and expenses amounting to $1336.50. The expenses of bringing officials here and their fees amounted to $246 leaving $601.50 to go into the treasury of the association.
The treasury of the athletic association is now in good condition owing to the fact that nearly all the games played this year have been money makers. The game today at St. Louis is one of the best financial games of the season and with a fair sized crowd at St. Joseph the athletic association will close the football season better off financially than ever before in its history.
The report of Manager Lansdon in full is: Advance sales $1022, sales at gate $1162, proceeds from season tickets $735, total $2919. Pay for officials $246, amount to be divided $2673, Nebraska's dividend in cash $I336.50, Kansas' dividend in cash $601.50.
