YORK ' l.:OSES TO LINCOLN.

Two Scrappy Teams Meet, But 'York Is Outclassed

LINCOLN 18-YORK 0.

York High School, fighting to the las t, went down to defeat Saturday at the hands of the Lincoln boy s, in a game, which was more -exciting than the score would indicate, although it was seen ear l y in the game that Lincoln was outplaying York.

Lincoln rooters rested easy while Ma nn , Westover, Hugg or Hartman had the ball, bu.t when W-iley, York's fast halfback , or Crosan, full-back, took the baJ.l, everyone was up and anxious. And when York pulled off one of their forward passes, pandemonium reigned As far as p-asses went, this game was the best seen in Lincoln this season. In no oth e r game has the pass been used more successfu ll y or mor-e often Wil ey, who is well known in state ath letic -circles, played a star game, and Blood , York's right end , was very fast L. Mann was Lincoln's star player and showed up better than Wilty, whil e Lincoln's three other backs p la yed a steady , efficient game.

First Half.

Lincoln made its first touchdown in the first three minutes of play. L e s Mann intercepted a forward pass on York's 35-yard line and Hugg went ov e r for a touchdown. L es kick-ed goal and a few minutes later missed a field goal from York's 25-yard line. Score first quarter: Lin· coin 6, York 0. Wilmeth took Mann's place in the second quarter and Cast took Tippets' place, who was hurt after five minutes play. No scores.

If each student goes to chapel with the same determination to l:oost and support, as that with which he goes to a football game, education and enjoyment are necessarily the results. Support for a speaker is attention which greatly aids as well as vleases the speaker, besides training the audience . The songs and yells in chapel give new spirit and mor e of it. They express loyalty. Chapel is for each and every individual and each one may have his or her share in the program . Each one must do his part to mal;:e cbapel worth while.

SENIO R

( t•;st.her Bennett , Editor.)

'rhere are lots of things to be none this year and since there are only about eighty eligible seniors, every one of those is needed. Come to class meetings and find out about Slouch Day and other senior events ·

At the last meeting the motion was brought up ·to have the boys provide a peanut feed a:t the next . meeting. Although all the boys objected, the motion was carried since there were about twice as many girls as boys. Every senior shou l d come and help eat those peanuts.

If neither loyalty to the class nor the promise of peanuts attracts you, at least you will come to see Si Bryan fuss the president by his knowledge of parliamentary rules. This exhibition is given each week, on Tuesday, after 7th period, in room 204

certain football men had not kept up their studies the last six weeks. In the iast game Omaha threw out three men because of inelig:ibil'ity. Is there any reason why we should not live up to the .regulation·s as well?

The article said it was hard luck. It certainly seems unfortunate that so many players arE". ineligible, but I don't see when the hard luck comes in. The luck was all yours in the beginning, fellow student. All you bad to do was to· carry your studies satisfactorily for six weeks. You knew this condition when you went in for the team ; You were shown the cards, told how to play the game, fairly and squarely, in other words, to do your part and keep up your work for six weeks and n<Jt to feel sore because you failed in this condiUon You had the same chance that every student has to pass six weeks of work satisfactorily. Yet yo u think you deserve one more chance. Why should you?

SOPHOMORE NOTES.

(Soren Mathiasen, !Editor.)

The atte ndanc e at the l ast Sophomore meeting was not very large , but we had a good time. The party committee reported that we could not have a sophomore party until n ext semester. Mr. Dinsmvre was .put on the committee for So-phomore hats. No action was taken on the report of this committee , b.u.t if any Sophomore wou ld like to get a class cap, he may see Miss Black, Mr. Dinsmore, Mr. Kier or Mr. Mathiase n about the kind preferred.

Mr. Bryant gav e us a good specimen of his oratorical powers. In the parliamentary drill the influence of the debating societies was felt through some of the members who were present

We a ls o sang one of our high school songs, Miss Black playing the accompaniment.

Th ere has been some difficulty in getting up programs because the names of but few of the real Sop homores are known. ;However, now that diffi culty will be overcome by the seating of the Sophomores, and we hope to , have better programs.

At the m eeti ng last week there were thirty-five present, includ i ng the sponsors.

The co lo r committee was given an extension of time. The constitution was ftn:ished and the by- laws read and voted on. A program committee was appointed to prepare a program for next week ·

OUR EXCHANGES

The following excha ng es hav e be e n s e nt in this week: " High S choo l Echv," "Daily Maroon," "Eigin High School 1VIirroi:-,' ' " Scarl e t and Green ." As a whole , these papers were all exceedingly good, and in reflecting to us the spirit and "doings" at other schools , they help us in many ways to improve our vwn "The Hi gh School Echo," from ?\ashville, Tenn. , was one of the b est.. This paper comes in booklet form and contai ns m any approp 1ia te d r a w in g s. The stories were i n teresting and well written , especiall y the one e n titled "Bobby's Mysteriou-s Friend." Its "Chips" department should also be mentioned for its droll humor

· "The Daily Maroon" is being s e nt us from the University of Chicago. Although not a high school paper it is nevertheless interesting and gratefully received.

The Elgin High School " Mir:ror" from Elgin , Ill., was good 'throughvut.

The only paper fr om our own sta te was "Scar l et and Gree n ,'' from Auburn, Nebraska. This · paper was especially noti ceable for its good stories

T he "Cue" of Albany, N Y. an academy exchange, contains advertisements for intoxicants · and tobacco. Such a think would not b e tolerated i n Nebraska. The paper is, in other respects, quite creditable.

For the third time Lincoln has c rossed over into Iowa and literally "bearded the lion in his den." West Des Moines, Ida G rov e and now Sioux City, the best teams in the state, have felt Lincoln's mettle, West High alone scoring on Lincoln. Sioux City's downfall is told as follows:

Sioux City, !a.-Leslie Mann proved to Sioux City football followers that Lincoln Neb., has one of the best high school players in the west. The fleet, shifty, quarterback from Lincoln led his team to a 22 to 0 victory in the game with the local high

school this afternoon. He not only directed his e leven we ll at quarter, but he played the star part in carryin gthe ball. . He raced over the goal for three of the four touchdowns registered by his team. One came in the second quarter, when the ball was on the twenty-yard line. He ducked through a broken field this time. In the first part of the second half he went across th e line from the twenty-five yard chalk mark. His most spectacular play was in scoring the third touchdown when he went from the thirty-five yard line through the entire Sioux City eleven, bumping into defense, falling off, and shooting on toward the goal.

·The fourth tou.chdown was made on an intercepted forward pass from the Sioux City fortyfive yard line by C. Mann. L. Mann missed one goa l from touchdown and C . Mann also (G'ontinued on page 2)

q u estion which will be the bone of contention in the Beatrice debate: "Resolved , That disputes between capita l and labor shou l d be settled by boards of arbitration wibh compulsory powers. " The affi r mative was upheld by the Ciceronians, the negative by the Phlogistons.

This was the first of a series of debates between the societies, for the Phlogs, who are the lo sers in the debate, are determined to hang that title upon :the Ciceronians, and will probabl y ·challenge them to a debate in the near future

There was a very small attendance, on l y a few being present aside from the members of the societies. The judges were Mr. 'Cherrington and Mr. Kiddoo, both upperclassmen at the Uni.

Mr. Mays presided and introduced the speakers after a short talk in which he spoke of the Beatrice debate; the preliminari es of which are to be held next week.

Bryan opened the debate for the affirmative with a definition of the system as it now s-tands , and proved that it. is inadequa:te , impractical and s l ow.

McBrien followed for the negative with the argument that labor unions w'ou ld be destroyed by such a board and all labor would be disastrously affected.

Wells . for the affirmative, came back with some fine rebutta l and argued that the system as advocated by them was practical and speedy. He compared this system with that of fo r e ign ·countries, with advantage •to the compu l sory boards.

MacFarlane quoted to show that results in foreign c oqntries

McDo n ald argued that boards of arbitration would be bene fi cia l to employer, employee and the public at large.

Bryan waxed sarcastic in his closing r e buttal and the tap or time saved the affirmatives from utter destruction

EDITORIAL.

•The past season in football has been one of the most succe ssful in the history of the Linc oln High School. This was due, in a great mea.s ur e, to the school sp-irit shown on t he part of the

But it was also due to the g r eat sacrifices which the boys made in order to pl ay foolball, pra c ticin g f aithfull y as they did ever y night.

Now there is another very important int e r es t claiming our attention in the near future. This is d:ebate. Linco ln High School must uphold h e r reput a tion in this as well as in football. To do i'his thing we ll , the whole s c hool must get behind it as they d id behind football.

DO you ask, " How can I help d ebate a l ong?" Why, fe ll ow st ur dent, if y ou can't d ebate, find someone who can, and get him out , anyhow for practice. Freshm e n . even if ineligible this year, shou l rt get out for the practice it will g i ve them in preparation for n ex t year when they will be needed to hel p form the de ba:t ing squad. Th e prelimi n aries are to come -soon , so we shall have to

get busy at once . In .Janua r y we h a v e a debate with Beatrice, and Beatrice is n eve r easy to beat. Now let eve r ybo d y who ca n , get out and hell} u.s beat Beatr i ce Th e Thanksgiving d-ay whose arrival we have been awaiting in euger eJCpec tanc y has come and gone. Some looke d forward to this day because of the football ga m e; others, because of the turkey dinn er a nd the fun afterwa rd s ; a n& still others, because of the delightful f a mily reunions it wouJ.c1 occasion

Probab l y onl y a small per ce n t of a ll the people who observe Thanksgivin g day, however, know wh y it is a d ay set apart for SJ1ecial observance, or who were the originators of the idea Th e first observance of Thanks g i v ing was b y the Pilgr ims, who ge n era ll y had more than one da y in the y ear wliich they celebrated and observed with thank sg ivin g In fac t they had such a d ay on every special occasion , a nd th is practice s p read over a l arge portion of our country; b ut the c ustom as obs e rved today is of mo re r ece nt origin. Tn e ce l ebra tion of a certain cl ay set apart each year b y procl amat ion of our national p:i·eside n t was in a ugurated by Abraham Lincoln, who first proclaimed a nat ional tha nl(sgiviug festival. His exam-

pie has been followed by every presid e nt sinc e, and will probabl y co ntinu e to be fo llowe d long as our nation exists.

:\Jr. Lincoln said that this day should be set aside as o n e sacred to lhe family, a time for family r e unions a nd of good fellowship, with neighbors a nd acquaintances , and a tim e to g i ve ex pression to our deep gratit ud e to the Giver o f all the b l essing's that are b estowed upon us as a p eop l e. If there are those in the community who are in need ot assistance, this is a sp lendid chan-ce to offer them ass-istance by suppl y ing some of their needs , thus making this a da y of thankfuln e ss for a ll.

The boys a11c1 gir ls who are co ll ecti ng by t wos, as well as in larg e r groups , in the halls, abo ut the lo ckers, on the west stairway, a nd about the e ntrance are winning for themse l ves a di sag r eeab l e notoriet y a mong th e students. We a lso learn tha.t many of the teachers fee l very keenly the impoliteness an d. l ack of consideration shown th-em by tl;J.e pupils on many occas ions This is e speciall y a nn oy in g when pupils loiter in the halls after t he s i xt h per i od, and seriously interfere with necessary work still going on in the recitation ro o ms.

THE CHRISTMAS JOURNEY .

By .l\{ar g aret States

'rhe road wound around the snow-covered mountains, now up on the high , steep sides , now across a canyon. All was white silence except now and then as a magpie screamed or a wolf howled on the opposite hi l l. A covered wagon, pulled by two exhausted hot'ses, along the mountain side and vvonnd down into a little park surrounded with pines, on the outer edge of whi ch ran a small but swift stream. A broad-shouldered man , his wife and two children were in the wagon. One of the children was a little girl of seven, the other a boy of nine . \¥ er e th ey afraid when the wolves Did they mind g etting cold 1 No, for they were going across the mountains to spend Christmas with their auntie. The I10rses stopped to r est awhile, for it was hard for them to bl'eak a road in the snow. The man got out and tried to look aronnd through the fast falling snow, then came ba ck and said to his wif e, "Molly , I don't remember this place bef ore. I know we are off the road, and it would b e hopeless to try to find th e way. Th e only thing we can do is to camp h ere till th e sta ge comes by , so that we can follow th em.''

Y es , John ; I guess that is what we'll ha,ve to do , " and th e littl e woman smiled bra v ely up at him.

' ' Oh , Daddy! won't w e get ,to auntie's for Christmas day ? '' cried Jimmy.

"No , son , I'm afraid not. Yon children stay here with mother whil e I find a good plac e to pnt the tent," said t h e fR ther , turning a way

"Mummy , surely we won ' t have to stay here over Christmas ? '' cri ed Jimmy and Dot .

' 'Yes , children , I gness w e will , for you see it's snowing so ha1' d that it wouldn't be safe to try to find the road till th e stage comes, because they know the way better than we do ," replied the mother.

"Oh , lVInmmy! and .Santa Claus won't come, will he!" A ncl Dot , with ey es fnll of t ears , looked up at her mother.

"No, honey , I'm afraid that Santa Claus won't come, becanse Santa Clans always com es down the chimney," she Rnswered .

"But, mummy, .surely he'd see us out here and stop , " said J immy.

"No son I don't think he would. You se e he's expecting us to' be auntie's and will stop there, and besides, we' ll be the r e a day or two after ChristrnaR," she said.

'' Tha.t 's so, and I guess a day or two won't mak e very much difference,'' Jimmy said.

"Now, let's go over and see what daddy is doing, children " said the mother, and they went over to wh e re the man was 'putting up the tent. He said , '' lVIolly, this a goo_d, s h eltered place for the tent, and if you and the children aet the snow out and some pine boughs for the beds, I will b " bring the bedding and the rest of the thmgs over. .

In the course of an hour all was in order, the horses fed and in a good place, and a big camp fire in front of the tentThe woman was getting supper ready when they heard some one holloaing in the distance The man answered. There was a silence then the holloa become louder . The man answered and still nearer, sounded the holloa . '' Oh! ' ' cried Dot, ''someone 's l ost and th ey're coming to our camp. ' ' In a few minutes two yotmg men appeared, dragging behind them a deer that they had killed.

The taller said, ''Good evening, ma.y we stop to get warm at your fire 1 '' and nodding toward the other one, ''His name is 'fom Goodrich; mine is Dick Langdon. \Ve have a camp , but we were so interested in tracking down this deer w e had wounded that we did not notice where we w ent. No I'm afraid we're lost ''

The man .sa id , ''Our name is Gillen and--"

But Jimmy broke in , saying , "lVIy sister's name is Dot, and I'm Jimmy ''

''That so ? Well, young man , you are qnit e a long- way from home on the day before Christmas.''

· "Yes , sir , we are , but we lost the road and w e were going to auntie's and Santa Claus isn't going to com e 'ca nse mummy said he wou l dn't find us 'way out here, bnt h e 'd expect us to be at Aunt Alice's,'' said Dot.

''Listen,'' said Tom, seeing how disappoint e d tlwy wern; ''it's very h ard for Santa to get around to everybody , so I should think that you'd rather he ' d get around to some children that haven't ev en any papa or mamma or any home."

Just then Mrs. Gillen came up to the fire aft e r h er husband's explanation, saying, " Well , our supper is r eady , but you'll find it very poor, for we are out of meat.''

''Well , say .Mrs. Gill e n , here's this deer ; you take some of it, and if you '11 keep ns tonight we'll giv e you th e deer , " Tom said.

"No, indeed, yon will not; we a.re only too g l ad to 1Ja.ve yot1 h ere tonight to cheer us up,'' said lVIr. Gillen.

Do you Roxine Saxon is coming here and will arrive on tha.t el even forty-five train; it is now eleven and Mary went over home to take care of her mother because she is sick today. What shall I do ? What shall I do 1 Do you You sit there a,; though you were made of stone.

Mrs. Colfax-Why, Ja ck, she is a distant relative of yours; her father has been dead for over ten years, and her mother ju::;t died about three weeks ago They liv ed in New York. \Ve are the nearest relatives, and I suppose she intends to make her home with us. But Oh dear, what sha ll I no ? I '11 have to get dinner myself I suppose . (Ex it. )

Jack-Make her h ome with us, indeed! ·well, that's a nice thing. A girl around here? Never. And think of my exams . I'll never get a chanc e to study with her bobbing m and out.

She's invited a girl, Roxine Saxon-I guess that 's h er name-to come here and stay with us. Just think, a girl. She knows how I ha.te them, and so do yon. Oh you may smile, but just because you see anything in the female sex, I don't.

A STUDENT RHAPSODY

.

If you should ere be called upon to write a little rhyme, you will be wise if yon decide polit ely to d ec line ; for rhyming is a mystery that's known to very few , and they, indeed, are most adverse to giving up the clue. Its purpose is most manifold, most various its theme. With myst erious imaginings it seems to fairly teem . If you are allegorical or mythical, you know , or humorous or obsolete, or anything that's so; if you're on to little details of a visualizing scope, it might be well to try it-you may perchance elop e. But if two words of like descent you simply can not :find, the auspices aren't favorable; the Muses aren't inclined. So I advise you to beware of poetry and rhyme, and try your mental faculties along some other line.

-Carleton Young , '12 .

SOPHOMORE NOTES.

(Soren Mathias en , Editor.) 17

At our cl ass m ee ting of Thursday, December 15, we had the largest meeting of tlie year. 'fhe committee ce rtainly ·fulfilled its promise of a good program

Miss Green read several poems in the negro dialect which we enjoyed very much . Mr . Fritts gave an interesting talk on the oil wells of Pennsylvania. "\Vhen the Cow:; Uom e IIome" was recited by Miss Ethel Goss. The program was concluded by Ethel Parmalee 's telling of her experiences on a "'l'rip to the Rosebud Reservation . "

Altogether it was a splendid program. It is hoped that we will hav e as good an attendan .ce for the Christmas program, Wednesday before vacation, after '' seventh,'' room 26. A prize will be given then for th e best sophomore class yell. Get busy!

FRESHMA N

( Edith Yungblut , Editor .)

Have you ever heard that yell? N"o ? W ell , we don't give it in chapel, but you can hear it by coming to our meetings. That alone, with some of our other yells, is a sufficient excuse for coming, besides the debat e and drill. If you really want to hear it, though, come to the B ea tric e try-outs-we'll be there. And th en start the New Y ea r right by coming around. We need you and you need us, so-Merry Christmas!

PTOLEMY SOCIETY .

The meeting of the Ptolemy Society opened by the customa ry current events, some of which were very interesting Mr Miesinger gave us a most interesting talk on the constellation Cassiopiea, which is rather CODi'\picuous at this time. Th e talk by l\h . Ston ec ypher on p er petual motion was excell ent. 'l'he parliamentary drill became so interesting that the presideut found it nece ssa ry to exercise his presidential . power to adjourn u s. \V e have h r.d some visitors and would be glad to see more.

Th e supper given at th eir inauguration as Kilkennies was certainly a grand succ ess. Each of the new girls had be en previously instructed to give a toast on ''The Superabundance of Fools,'' and the variety of smart sayings on that subject was unlimited. Besides thes e, Ruth Lahr, as toastmistress, introduced the following sp eakers , who spoke on th e subjects taken from the various departments of the Advo cate: Leila 1\fcNemey, editorials ; I:<.,lorence Angl e, locals ; Edyth Robbins, jokes; Ruth Bagnell, class notes ; Genevieve W eezner , busin ess manager; Sara Ladd, ex chang e and Miss Jury , th e Advo cate.

The r e gular meeting was held Thursday noon in room 303. On e of the best debat es of the s ea s on was giveu . Th e question was of vita l int e r est, esp ec ially to th e debaters. It was: " Resolved , that girls should try out for the Beatrice debate. " The affirmativ e was supported by Winifred Estes and Kathl een J.VI cCassleen and the negative by Gladys Dana and Margaret States .

Mr. Cline criticized the debat e and brought out some helpf11l points. He also continued his discussion of parliamentry law, taking up the fifth point und e r subsidiary motions ; the putting of the previous qu estion. We are always gla dto have Mr Cline at our meetings. If any of the girls have not heard him , they should b e sur·e to b e at our next meeting

Miss Tuttle, our former sponsor , says she is enjoying her work in California very much, but nothing there quite takes the place of Lincoln High.

THE A. F. P . SOCIETY.

'rhe Alice I:<.,r eeman Society was given a very int eresting talk at one of its last meetings . Mrs. Lambertson talked to us on h ow to giv e a luncheon She spok e for som e time on how we should ans >ver th e invitation , how to se t·ve our luncheon , and also abont th e menu As our next fnn c. ti on is to b e a hmcheou , w e found her su g ge s tions mo st h e lpfnl.

LATIN CLUB.

(Kate Anderson.)

'l'he Legio Decima was organized last y ear and now has a membership of twenty-fi:ve students. This is a convenient number for working togeth er . The purpose of this club is to give the student a deeper knowledge of Latin 'fhe club has chosen as colors gold and black, and for a motto, '' r_.abor conquers all things.'' A small Roman shield with a sword has been selected as a. pin.

Me etings have b ee n held every Thursday in room 204 during th e eighth period . At each meeting a good, interesting program has been given, followed either by nonsense or jokes, or Latin games. The meeting before 'fhanksgiving· a good feed was enjoyed. At a recent meeting the constitution was discussed. As soon as the second draft is mad e and the constitution accepted it will be written in Latin. · At our last meeting a Roman wedding took place. Miss Beattie baked a Roman wedding cake, which was served to the wedding guests. So yon see that we have a ' good time and also gn in knowl edg e. Th e Latin Club has certainly made a good beginning.

ALUMNI TIDINGS

Horace English attended Lincoln Hi g h School, geaduating in 190 9. While m high school he not only showed remarkable ability as a student, but also as a debater, and was a leading light among the Phlogistons. After leaving high school he continued his studies in the University of Nebraska, and there showed the same ability that e: hara cte rized his wor k her e.

The fact that Mr. English passed the Rhodes scho l arship exam inations 1s not only a great credit and honor to l\I 1·. English, but also to Lincoln High, which in a way prepared him for this test.

Either lVIr. English or lVIr. R oss Newkir·k of Wes l eyan will be named for the scholarsl1ip for Nebraska. Both passed the examination and their respective claims will be passed on by the state Rhod es committee . The sc holarship ea.rr·ies wit h it a. year ly income of $1,500 to snpport the winner at Oxford College, England, and a l so gives a year's travel on the continent.

Lincoln Hi gh School, teachers and pupils, hope Mr. English will be successful in obtaining this important scholarship and wish to extend to him congratu l ations .

FIRST GAMES WON

A Good Start Now Made Toward Capturing C i ty League Pennant.

Two games so far. T his starts the season for L. H. S. with tw o points in its favor an d gives us a good lead in the City Leagu,e race.

University Place High was the first team of the seaso n to play with L. H. S. We won by a decisiv e marg in, an d t h e team worked together all the time In fact, they had to work together most of the time, for U P H. S. had a good team a nd in the half rushed affairs generally. We more than ma-de up in the last half, though.

'l'he Lincoln Business Co ll ege game was harder, and more exciting. L. B C. sent over a large bunch of fans, and frequent ly got off a lot of noise. In o ne way, though, they hurt their own side of the question-that was, in hissing the decisio n s o f the umpire whi-ch were against L. B C. That is one breach of SIPOrting etiquette which Lincol n students as a body can never be accused of. 'The word of the u.mpi re goes with us. whether we think i t exactl y just or not.

'The final score in this game was 29-19. Lincoln High.

The next game-that with Cotner-will be on Jan u ary 11. A fairly large crowd saw the L. B. C. game, but It is hope d that more will come out to these next games There is not such a spirit of r i valry in the City T...eague games as in the interscholastic games, but they are fast and exciting. Moreover, they are free.

CICEROIAN DEBATING SOCIETY

(Continued from page '2)

debating society in the school and there were no regular interscholastic debates , it held annual debates with the D. D. S of Omaha schoo l and the C. F. C. of Beatrice

The literary nature of the society is upheld by an officer, called the edito r, who reads a paper of a literary or scientific nature before the society ·every two weeks. All students will remember the paper on "The Future of the Human Race ," b:l' Frederick Wells, published in a recent issue of The Advocate. This was one of tile regu.lar e\ii· tor's papers and was read before the society on October 28.

Students will always find notices of meetings and a list of active members in our bulletin box. A notice h a s been recently posted there wh i ch enumerates exactly what a student must do to become a member of the club. The society urges all parties interested to read this notice.

Kansas , who ask that the team l eave a day early on the Topeka trip and play two games. one in Lawrence and the other in Topeka. This would be a good trip and two hard games would be fought.

TlHl Y. :\l. C:. A. Intermediat es defeated the L . B . C. in a onesided game by the score of 40· to 1ii. This is a more decisive defeat t han the Busine ss Colleg e received at the hand s of the High School, so yo u can look for the hardest game of the season on February the second.

Omaha, Nebr ., .Tan 2u .-Thirty freshmen of th e Coun c il Bluffs High Schoo l , who recently were promotec1 from the grades, were hazed ye sterday at noon.

LINCOLN LOSES TO SIOUX CITY.

Sioux Have Star in Lincoln Still Has Chance.

Score-Lincoln 23, Sioux 27.

The Sioux City high schoo. came, saw and conquered Lincoln High in basket ball Saturday evening in the Y. M. C. A gymnasium by t h e score of 27 to 23. The game was fast, close and exciting. Th e visit ors had it over our team in weight and height. Even under this disadvantage, Lincoln played good ball and at the end of the first half, it looked like a walkaway.

The game was characterized by the supe rb goal -throwing of Aldrich, the Sioux City forward. His goa l s from close interfer· ence were excell ent.

The visito rs were penalized time after time for roughness and holding in the first half Th i s and Mann's ability to throw foul goals put Lincoln far in the lead at the end of the fir st half The score at this stage of the game stood fourteen to eight. The Lincoln players, bein g so much smaller than their opponents, depended enti rely upon team work and the visitors in t h e first half were weak in this. Lincoln was awarde d one point for roughn ess.

The fo ul and field goals of Ch anny were excelent, a nd his pl aying was the feature of the half

At the call of time for the second h a l f the tables were re· versed. Sioux City d eve loped t eam work and this, with their reach, made it posible t o pass the ball to each other almost at will.

Hartman played .fast ball for Lincoln. Hartman s-ecu.red the greatest number of poin.ts-18 in all. The whole Lincoln team played in better form than at any time heretofore.

The. school is to be congratulated for the excellent management of the ·•paper. T,he new scheme of editing is a good one, since it distributes the. honors as well as the 'hard work.

OUR REFINED ARTISTIC SENSE

.

Thirty IJ€r cent of the hi g h school students e n thusiasticall y attend "sparkli ng musical comedies ," and hum the cat-chy tun,es for weeks afte-rward Sixty IJ€r cent hear no musica l attractions. Th irty per cent favor what real opera, orchestra concerts, voca l programs, a nd other artistic events may be g i ven in th e city. Few hi gh school boys or gir ls care for a ny but the short-li ved m u sica l comedy mu.s i c. 'l'he small per cen t can be accounted for on l y b y the fac t that the others have littl e opportunity of hearing constantly the good• , permanent art. The little street beggars in Italy are said to hum grand opera to themselves. T hey hear opera until they love it.

·why not have music emphasized more in h igh -school? Sem i-m onth l y or wee k l y mttsical programs .for all the students to hear , I sho ul d suggest. A certain school in the middl e east owns a Victor Vi ct rola, with a splendid library of voc a l and orch e stral numbers. T he students hear Melba and Caruso and the other g reat singers, as well as or-chestras of fame, until having l earne d to like Beethoven, Grieg, and •p,erhaps Bach-wond.erful Bach-they find no charm in George Co h en's . r agt ime, an d Ted· Snyder'S riba ld songs.

·The Victrola may not be pract ical for us , but any way , why not ·in ore good music?

ALICE McMEEN.

It was a great shock to the members of the Lincoln High sc hool to learn of the death of Alice McMeen. She had been in our school for two year s, during wh i ch time he·i: gracious manners and sdncerity of purpose have endieared h e r to all with whom sh•e h as been associated.

She has pursueru her work under d;ifficu1ties, for her health has never been good, and serious illness has frequently compelLed ll.-er to absent herself from her class wor k Yet in spite of s-u ch handicaps, she has a lways maintained a scholarship that was gratifyi ng t o her teachers an d an inspiration to her companions. Her removal from us by the hand of death leav es a vacancy in the h-earts· of her friends that ca nnot soon be filled'.

The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon , F e bruary 8 after w hiCh th e body was takei:J. to hei: old home in Iowa for burial.

Last Saturd a y· night the state championship basketball tournament fin a ls were held. In the first gam e of the evening Linco ln lost to Beatrice by a score of 29 to 11. Beatri ce outclassed Lin c oln both in locating the bask e t and pas sing the ball. Th e B e atri ce husk i es outweighed the Lincoln te am . Of the 11 points of Lin c ol n's s core only 2 points wer e made from fi e ld goa ls . Math e ny, Hugg and Hager played fin e ball.

Th e second game was between South Omaha and Lincoln. The Lincoln team in this game was composed mostly of subs. · However, they held South Omaha down to a score of 20 to 1 6

The South Omaha team is a fin e bunch and play splendid ball.

The third and 1ast game of the evening was between Beatrice and South Omaha , in which Beatrice def e ated South Omaha b y a score of 19 to 17 Both teams played f a st b a ll and the game was an e x citing one.

Since Lincoln played in th e finals they were given third p l ace The ywere presented with a fine felt banner.

Lincoln 24 , Omaha 22.

With the crowd favoring Lincoln and the dopesters favoring Omaha, the game started in an uncertainty that was not ended until Mann threw the goal which gave Lin c oln the honors.

Aside from Mann's throw, the game wa s a lmo st a no-star affair. Hartman of Lincoln made three goa l s , as did a l so Hugg. Hartman pla ye d a fast game at forward , cov er ing the ground rapidly.

She ran into the office and into the ;urns of her father, who had heard the noise and was starting out to investigate. Then she fainted The figure came in too , ran to the table that served as a wr : ting desk, and crawled under it.

When Annie screamed and ran for the door Albright followed, not stopping to find out what was the matter, but instead of going down the front stairway he ran along the hall, down the back way and out of doors. Some reliable authorities say that he did not stop running for an hour, but the majority be· lieve that he did not stop until he reached home and was safely in b8d.

Meanwhile the combined efforts · of Annie's father and

mother brought her bfiarsctk

It has often been said that camp life is a life of seclusion. and rest , but after thinkin-g over the events of a Fourth of July d a y at the ca mp of twenty boys I decided camp life could be as hard as all the other kinds of life added together. We had been entertaining visitors all day . A house-cleaning almost before sunrise, an expedition for ,,ood wh:ch was to be used to make the largest camp fire that our n e igh boring woods had ever seen, a good hour's stlff rowing of visitors from the landing on the mainland, an exhibition in s wimming of almost an hour, a baseball game, and a regular meet on our campus; th e build· ing of a camp fire from twenty tc thirty feet in d:ameter, and a general celebration had been the scheduled events of the day. Some of our visitors were taken home in launches and for this: we were thankful, as we were what yon would call "all ln . " · The rest, about six in number, were to remain all night. Our tent seemed to be the headquarters for visitors, and we were compelled to borrow a cot from a tent not so favored I was the last one to turn In, /laving just the cool' tent for the material for our mid· night pie feed. As my cot wm; occupied I retired on a borrowed single. collapsi-ble, saw-horse, man-killing cot, with great care, lest I should not get into it just right

I had just got settled when an awful crash was heard. Yes, it was thunder That was not all. The wind seemed to be pushing the thunder r 'g ht towards us. Our tent swayed. The

fiaps !lopped and then las,hed against each other. A corner rope gave way. Some one mumbled something !lbout the weather and :!!xed it. Just then the largest drops of water that ever dropped beating our te:c.t with ever increasing rapidity.

Somewhere a cot squeaked as some one turned over to cover up his head. The drops beat :b.ard· er and harder until the night became one horrible uproar .Someone lit a light. The tent had begun to leak In one corner. Everything was moved from that corner. As this process was going on a terrible gust of wind struck u s. Our candles were blown out and everyone stumbled back to bed. Aiwther gust of wind and a ctash, and became more quiet.

I was just deciding that I was tired enough to sleep when my cot shook. So did I. Something was feeling the edge of my cot. Now it had reached my head and something cold a nd wet touched my face Thell moved and arQJOe above me, but I couldn't see a thing. All of a sudden my covers were ·removed and some extraordinarily heavy body rolled into my bed.

"Saved," said a loud voice in my ear, but I thoug ht maybe not, for the man-killer threatened to collapse. It trembled, slipped a little, sJ.owly settled, and became quiet. Then I breathed.

"Nice big bed you have here," and then I recognized the voice of ··Chub Lincoln, our · two hundred pound comedian. I again tho ught of the cot which we ' were both on. I also began to realize that Ohub had been in the ra ' n.

'' What did you leave your tent for?" I asked, for the first time in my life not really glad to talk to Chub. ·

' " Didn't, It us," was the

reply. "I shtpt for -awhile, or rather didn't -sleep, without a tent OTer me, but that hail was awful."

"Hail?" I exclaimed.

"Yes, hail, and that isn't all. I tell you there was a snake in my bed. And it played Home Sweet Home on my cot springs, and I thought I'l better hunt a home for the night."

Home! Ye.s, l began to wish I w-as at home, too.

"Did someone say pie?" came from the other side of our tent. Immediately following came the pie. Such pie. It hit 'the tent directly above us and s-plashed all over us, heads and all. Something told me the pie had been in 'swimming so I cleared my eyes best I could with the covers and reached for -a shoe The cot remonstrated. It creaked. It began to rip. I left the shoe alone. The pie had done its work, even on the tent. The water began to drip through the spot the pie bad hit, and I made use of the water to wash my race.

"Ch ub ," I said, "I can't sleep."

"Who could with so much pie lying around uneaten," was the response.

"Well then, tell us a story, Chub ." (Chub was a geJlius on stories.)

·

"I was a watchman !n a tower near the river Chicahoo. My tower was some nine hundred feet from the bridge. I w-as also what we shall call a 'switcher.' I .operated four switches from this tower.

one day we had a terrific storm. The bridge was de'stroyed by lightning. Down the track came the thundering engine of the father of my sweetheart. He was on a track which l€d to the bri·dge. His daughter, my sweetheart, was in the cab with her father.

"They were bound to be k:Jled.

"I pulled the lever of that switch. It didn't work! Horrors! It had only half turned The engine hit the frog, lurched sideways and hit the tower house.

the smoke and dust cleared away-"

" Did you say your sweetheart was on the train?"

"Surely."

"And the train crashed into the tower?"

Chub SIJrang up in bed. "Well say!"

It was too much The cot gave way.

We splashed into the water below.

"Did you say the dust cleared away?"

"Dust. You blithering ld!ot! Dust! Do you think this feels like dust?" and he smeared mud on my startled, unresisting face.

THE BURGLAR OF FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH.

I am writing this to justify myself, not primarily to tell the most exciting story of my life. Those who took part in the thrilling adventure grant that it was. tremendously exciting, · but, as Is generally the case, there were a few who considered it especially uninteresting But of all this latter kind, newspaper reporters are the worst. Truly, they belong to the Class:c Age, since seemingly nothing appeals to their imagination To say the least there is nothing romantic about them when it comes to burglars. strangely enough, it happened on Friday night, the thirteenth of February. The moon had not shone for nearly a week, and to make it worse, there had been a drizzling, spiritless rain for about the same length of time. Since all the family but me had gone away I invited six of the girls over. The moaning of the wind and the dripping rain d id not a:t'fect our spirits in the least • as we made rarebit and fudge in the brightly lighted kitchen. We sang the latest songs from "Madame Sherry," and cracked the latest jokes from the Orpheum until we all were simply weak from laughing so much.

I knew that our next-door neighbors had been away for a few weeks and that they had left the house alone in their absence. But since Edna was there, who I knew would faint at the mere thought of being alone, I refrained from telling this fact when the stopped

"I leaped. So did Elizabeth. At last the crash was over and a

to wonder if the whole neighborhood could hear us.

I really can not understand how, above the noise, we could hear the crash of glass next door. But the fact remains that we dld hear it, and' that quickly switching off the lights we proceeded to watch developments. As we saw a man stealthily crawl through the _ broken window, Edna complet-ely collapsed, and we had to take the time to d ttm p her uncermoniously upon the couch, where she rema :n e d the rest of the evening, bemoaning- the fact that nobody loved her and that she wished she was dead.

It seems almost ·impossible to describe my feelings as I saw the marf turn .toward us. I can only remember the awful roar as I saw him turn on the lights and stand gazing .at the silver on the buffet. " The soup thickens, " Gladys murmured delightedly But I didn't think it was a b: t funny, and if I hadn't been so excited, I ' d have said something about her inopportune remark.

The "bold, bad man,' ' as Eth e l called him, -proceeded to roam a.t leisure over the whole hous e , poking over the con tents of the rlrawen; and looking under the matresses. F'inaliy he came -down stairs again and stood· calmly looking ·at the broken window. "What an opportunity to shoot at that shifty green e ye,"' Mildred w.h:spered. At this remark I noticed that one eye was out, and that the other was as green as grass Besides this peculiarity, he had a s quare "bull-dog" chin which added greatly to his pirate-like a]F pearance. His old slouch hat, his collarless shirt, and his p'pe, which seemed about to fall from one corner of his mouth, did not make a pleasing picture. By this time my mind was made up to the brilliant idea of call:ng the police. Not only would it be a service to onr absent neighbors, but it wou l d give des i red fame to ri:ry skill as a detective . Well as I knew the number, I could not for the life of me, think of " twenty-one." So I shouted "Police! " with all my

might although my knees shook so that I could scarcely · stand. The -poo-r bew:Jder-ed " central" thought I was being murdered, I guess, for she made connections in doub :_ e quick time. Hurriedly I told my story to the policeman, or who ever it W<LS who answer-ed my call. I think I told him the story, but the girls havo circulated a report that I simply gasped "Burgiars," and that I put an extra " u" in :t, to o. To this very .clay I am asked if l have caught a " burgular" yet. I tell this part with protests, but really, while I am telling it, I might as well tell the truth. At ahy rate, I knew that Florence came to my rescue by taking the receiver from my shaking hand and giving the necessary s t reet ntimber.

We all went back to our places at the window, but much to our di s appointment, we saw the man, ca l mly leav :ng all the lights in the house burning, go out the front <loor What Bhonld we do? We had called the poli c e and were expecting them any minute. Presently they came and searched the whole house. growing more disguested e v e ry minute. For not a £ign could the y tincl exeept the broken windo\V and the bl a zing lights. :\'othing was out of place , and the police were baffled comp: e tely All the relative s and c ame, and. :r nothing mor e, we rlid c reat e an e xeit ement.

Imagine our feelings, when the next morning , in a very sarcastic account of the affair, ·the reporter ended by saying that the burglar had turned out to be the janitor , who had been authorized to light the fires for the home-coming ne'ghbors. Bl)t whatever peopl-e may say, it is a funny ldnd of janitor who will break the window when he has 1\ e y, and will go away l e aving every light burning These are not the only m ysteries of the case, which, to this very day, remain unsolved

A LONELY ROAD AT NIGH T

"Well," replied Uncle n:ck, with an amused look , " I guess I was jt1st about your- age when

STUNT NIGHT. Eighteen Classy Acts Presented At First Annual Affair.

The first annual Stunt Night was held last Friday at the high school auditorium. There were in all eighteen acts, each one put on by some society in t h e school. The show moved rapidly with little br 'no waits be:tween acts, owing to the skill of the scenery shifters under the direction of l\fr. Mahood.

.One of the best things of the even in g was the first appearance of tQ.e Lincoln High School band, ·under the leadership of Mr . Ross. Our band boys presented .splendid music, far bette r than the highest expectations of anybody.

Probably the largest and best trained act of the evening was the act "Something Interestfng," put on b y A. F. P . society. The act was put on by some 30 girls, half of whom wore blue serge coats to as .many boys They sang several popular songs, fitting the occasion. All wore green in honor or his ma.jesty, "St. Pat."

For second · place there is close competitio n Te Ciceronian stunt "Mimi Cicerones," and the Ptolemy stunt, the "Visitors From Mars," fighting hard for the honors. Mr. Meadows of the Ciceronians did especiall y well.

Th e Kilkenny club put on a very novel stunt. They r eproduced some of the world's greatest pictures and put them in a frame as living pictures.

A comedy "young Doctor Devine," was presented by the Shakespeare c lub in good form and a series of Swed i sh Folk Dances by the physical training department. Both showed excellent training.

The Girls Debating Society gave a long debate, "Resolved, that the Pat and Mike joke should be abolished," and the Y. M. C. A. put on the pantomine "Miss Popularity.' This act was indeed clever.

'l'he German club gave the famous dance "Teutonic 'l'erpsechere.'' 'fhe dance is very difficult, but was very well done.

Phil was the youngest member ot the Richards family and the vet of all. His miscellaneous und e rtaking s were a source ol' l;een delight to h:s unc l e, who was inclined to drop in often, generally at mea l tim e, it must lJe said , to see " what the kid was up to now ." The afternoon previous to this, Phil a nd his little vJ.a y mate had been s e iz e d with the id ea that gold was to be had in the orchard, and both toiled h a rd, to t he constemat:on o f both moth e rs , for the 'da ys were very warm and s ultry. ·verne Hadl ey"- Phil never shortened the name to mere l y " Verne " -was .a little older tha n fiv e-year-old Phil, an.a hi s variation in id eas kept everyone wand ring what the t wo would clo u ext.

But now they both had the gold fever and the two, l ate, little fortyniners were hard a t work.

Looking up from her sewing l ate that afternoon, Mrs . Richards saw a perspiring little o g nre co ming up the path from the orchard.

"Verne Had l ey :s a wonderfu ll y smart boy to originate s uch an idea, but that doesn ' t te ll me yet what a cloo is ," teased his uncle.

" Now, Billy, " said Mr s. Richards , "y ou !mow just as well as I do that Phil mean s clues a nd I won ' t have y o u tea se him ."

" 'I am subdued ,'" came the penitent answer fo ll ow e d by a chuck l e as the young g e ntleman wandered away, only pausi n g l ong eno u gh to caution Phil to "Better set traps and cage a ll t h ose clo os y ou find I should li ke to see them , and maybe they will be va ! uable in a few hundr e d y ears, who know s !

" Verne Hadle y sa ys they won't hurt nobod y , so don ' t be scared, I' ll be all right- ' s c n se me now , please ."

He was gone and the house was quiet.

SEEING THINGS.

B y lVEiss Ethel Hartle y·

Th e evening before the Sunday School Children ' s Da y severa l the children bu s ily picked clov e r blossoms, until it became too clark to see Then WP adjourned indoors to finish om work. After we had made quite a few long, pretty clover cha : ns of the white blos soms , I happened to notice how dark it was outdoors, anrl I remembered that there was a mile and a half of l·onely country road between me and home

Onl y one of the other childr e n liv e d in my direction. So, after bidding the rest of the workers a hasty good-night, we two sallied out into the blackness.

As it happened, we did not need to walk, becanse m y fancy steed was waiting for us I climbed into the saddle and m y companion , Alice McVe y, scrambl e d up behind me. The impatient s teed was not unwi!Lng to start out hurriedl y, but she soon settled down to her r e gu lar sleep y )lace

Since sh e wa s · onl y a fivey ear-old burr·o, her fastest gait was a snail-like trot which s he ns ed only npo!f sp e cial occas ions .

After trav e rsing a half-mile with a little conversat:on to keep up onr courage and no particnlar happening , except th at Jenny shied once and A l ice nearl y pull e d me off in he r efforts to readju s t her position on Jenny ' s back, we at last reached Alice ' s home.

After dropping her the night grew dark e r and the mysterious sounds at the side of the road seemed more my s terious. I knew it was not lat e r than halfpa s tnine. But ne v e rtheles s , I felt sure that there were bnrglars ly : ng in the wild, sweet clov e r bush e s or hiding behind the b: ack trnnks of the large maple tree s that stood near the road.

" But as long as I've got you t o prot e ct me , Jenn y dear, I needn ' t be afraid, need I?" I whispered to Jenny as I stroked her thick warm fur and ran my fingers through her rough , bramble-full mane She did not respond , but I knew she nnders tood m y feelings.

THE BOTOMLESS P IT

By Miss Leil:t McNerney.

Upon reading au .incident recently give n in a dai l y n e wspaper, I was rem inded of an experience of m y ow n which came as n ear provi n g fata l as a n experience could w i tho u t overstepp in g the div iding line. In my world -wide trave ls, my steps h ave g u ided me through countless w il d and dangero u s cr i sises, b u t this one truly fi ll s me w ith the greatest , horror. Even t h e very though t'·-or it "makes me to shudder and grow ;Sick at h eart.'

ow; n g t o the shattered conditio n of my nervo u s system , the d octors declared t h at I must des ist from such strenuous life, a nd , in accordance with thei r decrees , I had tal,en a bungal ow i n H i ndustan for the summer, l ocated j ust at the out sk i rts of a t h r iv i ng vi ll age.

I was h u rryi n g h ome one afternoon and, because of an urge n t engagement for that eve n in g, took a short cut t h ro u g h the yards of a d il apidate d Old sugar cane m ill.

Sp r :ng ing lightly from o n e pile of t i mber to another to avoid the marshy p !a ces , I alig h ted upon a small p!atf.orm.

Imag i ne my consternation and fright when the rotten pla n ks gave way, and I felt myself s l ipping through the open in g thus made . Like a meteor I seemed to fa ll through mi l es of space. Tn the midst of this precitlito u s flight I threw up my arms and lJy ch ance grasp e d a projecting beam.

How fervent ly I thanked my lucl\y stars for the ath l et:c training I had had in co 1 Iege, the w r estling matches and the rope c l imbing in the navy-all of which had deve l oped the muscles of my arms. " My g ood right arm,' ancl my l e ft one, too, now s tood me in good stead.

thing I could do was to drop.

"Why, hello, Freshie ," he bawled out. Everyone in the hall turned . "How do you like J:.eing a h-igh school student?"

My face, crimson with embarra ss ment, I stammered, "Pretty well ," hoping almost against hope , that he would go away at once. But no such luck was mine

"Why aren ' t yon up in chapel?''

"I'm looking for Frances."

" Oh! She's up-stairs. I think th ey have the elevator working all r'ght now. Let's go up!" Gravely I was escorted to a black cage at the end of the hall and left there by a perfect· l y heartless tormentor , who murmured, "You just wait there till it comes. I've got to see a fellow ov e r here about initiating the freshies tonight. I'm sorry for you when that comes." And he rushed off to a group standing near by , evidently joking , for they all turned toward me and laughed . For several minutes I waited In vain, no elevator arrived. Ev :dently the machine was new , for I could find no bell. Presently a tall , dark-haired girl , with glasses on , approached me r. nd said : " Don ' t you want to go to chapel?"

1 answered her that I did. but that something was evidently wrong with the e levator. Gently she explained that that was not an elevator, but the girls' cloak room. (I have since learned that this was true

Greatly edifi e d, though fe el:ng decidedly crushed and humbled , I allowed her to lead me upstairs where she directed me to go to the balcon y, where the freshies sat. Then she, too, left me.

At the head of the stairs was a be•spectacled ynnth who

THE TRACK

'I'hc traek meet s of today are ver y :;imilar to th e games held in ancient Greece. The several feats are much the same, the rurpose is the same, and tho interest aroused, if not so great , i s of the same patr: otic character . Football and basket-ball are , of course , m ore in favor with us , bnt thi s is perhaps unfortunate, because track athleti cs include more people , and are , therefore , more wine l y 1.-e neficial than the games.

This form of athletics origi· nated , as I have said, in Greece, and was held in honor of gods and heroes . Great preparations v; e r e made for these games and at least ten months prev'ous gymnasium work was required of each contestant The gymnasiums were public institutions founded by rich philanthropists The instructors , t<Jo, were provided, and all men spent a great part of each day , in training.

The Greek athletics were div : ded into three heads; one, all kinds of regulated bodily exercises to strengthen the muscles; au.other, the games on which th·e emulation of several persons was br-ought to bear; and l ast, tbe g y mnastic exercises to prepaTe the athlete for wrestling matches, which were very important in the Ol y mpic games, held once every five yea r s

THE DEBATE.

The tryouts for the OmahaLincoln debate were held 'n the high sch!ool auditor iu m, Saturday- night, March 25. There were severa l contestants for positions, representing the vari· ous debating soc:eti es in school. The successfu l me n , as an· nounced by the judges, are Silas M. Bryan, Arthur Ackerman, an!l Paul Northrup, with Frederick MacDona ld as a l ternate.

The debate p!'oper w ill take place the latte r part of April in Lincoln. The questi on for debate is as follows: "Resolved, That the grad uated income tax, exempting all in-comes under two thousand dollars, wo uld be a desirab l e modification of our present system -of federal taxation, con st' tu tionality admitted " Ackerman a nd Northrup were members of t h e team which went against Beatr ice several weeks -ago, and they showed themselves to be clear th ink ers as well as

forceful speakers, although the judges saw fit to give the debate to Beatrice This time, witll' th e addition of Bryan, a nd the experience gained in the Beatric e debate, the men are confident Qf a victory.

The members of the team are working daily under the leadership of the public-speaking depltrtment, and it is hard to prerlict a ny other than a unanimous victory for Lincoln when the jnrlges hand .in their decision.

Lincoln will uphold the affirmative s'de of the question.

LINCOLN LOSES.

Lincoln lost to Topek a, April 1st, by a score of 48 to 18. A Topeka paper says: "The Nebraskans seemed to be in poor condition " Fouls were frequent.

LESLIE MANN.

His High School Career.

Leslie Mann, it is co n ceded, is by far · the greatest all-around ath le te in .the state of Ne braska. The Lincoln high school o.wes tJh is yo un g man a debt it can never repay, fOT his untiring effort to uphold L H. S.'s good name.

" Les" firs rt entered school as a freshman in 19017, bu.t attracted no special notice until the c l ass meet the following spring. At t his meet he took four firsts a nd came near ge.tting the indiv idu al. This was the beginning of his career. Since that he has been a member of the track, footba ll a!l.d basketball teams, hf'tD!!' of the track a.nd bas ket;ball teams.

Football is his forte. All Lin. co in High students know how he won the first game with Omaha this year in addit ion to las<t year's game. As a punter "Les" has no equa l in t he va lle y. Thi s , together with his speed., mal, es him a great asset to a n y team.

As a track athlete Mann is not s l ow. He can beat bhe b est of them , as was .shown two years ago in the Misso uri Valle y meet at Kan sas Cit y. "Les" has won two sweater s awarded. the indi· vid u a l winning the most points i n the c l ass meets He also has severa l indoor recordJS to his credit, the most notable of which is the record made at Oma ha la&t year in tJhe 25-yard dash. At th i s meet the who le middle west wa s represented , " Les'" ability to cover ground and mov·e quickly is shown best in basketball. It is nearly impoEsib l e to guard him, an,d his g:u a rd ing in turn is marvelous.

Besides taking part in a ll branches of high schoo l at hletics "Les" has made p-rom in e n t p arts in both of his c l ass :nays.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA

W hat is most remarkable in this youth is that in all his course ihe has never fallen behind in his studies nor been put out of any game for rough play. As· on e eve nt fo ll ows another so clos e l y, an d often two events take place a t the .same time , this give s no br eath ing space nor a c hance for breaking training. "Les" has ·a l ways made a success in all thaJt he has undertaken by applying a ll his energy , whether i t· be for hi s s.clhool , his cl as s, or per sonal honor.s. A l though we hate to lose him, yet we hope the name he shall make in outside li fe will eclipse the name he mad.e in school. Leslie Mann has g i ven a ll that he was capab le of in ath letics to old L. H. S. , so tlhat her name might rank above a ll others in honesrt ath l etics, and has succeeded so we ll that I fea r we shall feed his departure for year.s to come.

A NOVEL CONCERT IN ASSEMBLY.

At as sembly l ast Tuesday, the school bad the pleasure of hearing a co ll ectio n of : "Songs of Other Days," sung by some of the world's greatest ·singers This was accomplished bhrough a "VictoroJ.a," furnished by Mr Guthrie , a well 'known deal er.

Mr. Mays gave a short his tory of the songs a nd authcrrs as they were pl ayed, which was very interesting and instru ctive. Th e following were p la yed: "Hallelujah " chorus from the Messiah; "Annie Laurie." "Bonn ie Doone," "Coming Througn the Rye," "Home, Sweet Home ," " Old Black J.oe ,'' "Massa's in the Co ld , Cold Ground" "Old Folks at Home,'' "Ne lli e Gray,' ' "Dixie,'' " Tramp , Tram p ," Throug h Georgia."

The history o f these songs, a nd the ci rmusta nces unde r wbi ch they were written , helped everyone to enjoy them more. A great many wi s h that we conln have more of trhis novel .instnJCtion .

Maj"ri ty fa v qr L qc;it! on Kn Qw n A s " D av enpo rt Tract."

Nuw th,at a new high school is being discu ssed, t)le site is an important factor. Most all the pupils know that there are two tracts under consideration; the present site and the Davenport tract. There are much bettel' reasons for building on the Davenport tract than the present one

Several days ago Mr. Stephens in a talk before the Commercial club, spoke in favor of the Davenport tract.

By the use of a chart he showed that to build upon the present site would necessitate the tearing down of the present buildings with the following results:

1. A half block of ground must be purchased near the present s i te and a grammar school erected thereon to provide for the McKinley school that now contains 350 pupils. This means an additional cost in the immediate future of $100 ,000

2. To use the present site means that the use of the ad · ministration bu il ding for the instruction of the defective, backward, and incorrigible children of the city, will be impossib l e

3. The p l an of yarking the west half of these grounds to affol'd a resting place for the down town district and of converting the east half into a public playground for the children living in the surrounding buildings, must be abandoned.

The downtown district, he said, is not the pl ace in which the real work of the school can be carried on with the best success. The noise of traffic and the allurements of the business streets render wholesome work in the classes extremely difficult, and at times, impossib l e.

The Davenport tract has the following decided advantages:

LINCO L N, NEBRASKA

1. There is ample room for future additioi t ; to the building, for athletic activities, and for landscape effects.

4- Tb,is location is near the center of the h igh schoo l population, which at present is in the block bounded by Nineteenth, Twentieth, L and lVI streets.

3. It is the center of a natura l ampitheater, with the most beautiful resident portions of the city spread out upon the surrounding hills. The building wil l appear to decidedly better ad vantage in the midst of spacious grounds than upon a block of ground where the only view that can be secured is from a position across the street, sixty feet away.

Mr . Stephens pointed out that if the Davenport tract is chosen as the site , the work will not be put into the hands of an unskilled artisan, but given over to the direction and guidance of an expert architect of nationa l reputation, who will p l an for grading and beautifying the grounds and erecting thereon a building both safe and sightly.

In closing Superintendent Stephen said:

FR I DAY ' S ASSEMBL Y .

An enthusiastic chapel was held last Friday morning The assemb l y was called in the interest of school bonds. :.\fr. Stephens, superintendent of the city schools , spoke in favor of the bonds, arousing a great dea l of enthusiasm.

A band led by l\lr. Harrison, played several selections, greatly pleasing the audience. They p l ayed "Listen to the Mocking Bird," "Old Black Joe ," and "Old Fo l ks at Home."

Mr. Mays spoke very earnestly for the bonds, and school was dismissed for the rest of the day in order that the pupils might work in their interest Each pupil was given a certain portion of the city to cover, and report how that part stood.

Some of the preparatory students were also in attendance.

Few of · high schoQl pupils realize that our first track meet is next Friday. This meet is with 'l'ecumseh at Tecumseh

Some say this one will be easy, but it will no( as Tecumseh has a very strong team this spring.

For nearly a month our boys have been practicing the different events. During this time each individual has learned to do each of their respective stunts better, and by the effort and time spent, nothing is lost. The boys have been using the fair grounds track and report it a very fine place to train, although it is quite a distance from school.

Collins, with the hammer, is doing some fine work, and likewise is Hug y on the mile run. :.\fatheny, Appe l and Michie are the short-distance rnnners this year. All are making good time.

TE NT LI F E

Who does not -enjoy a short time jest devoted to doing nothing? In the early fall when it is so warm and mild- that one wishes to live out of doors forever, that is the time of year to idle a feiV days away. It is so re f reshing, not to be entirely away from civilization but to nevertheless enjoy all possible freedom; to do just as one pleases because everyone else is doing the same.

A friend and I went to a little village some sixty miles from our home to a reunion. In a large natural fair ground, quite on the outskirts· of the town , were · endles-s rows and rows of white tents among tall ·old trees, with a cree k winding in and: out and little red bridges crossing it everywhere.

Our tent was one of those farthest out, the fen c-e running just back of it and a row of tall trees

All clay long we were in and· out with the merry crow d , participating in a]] the We enjoyed ourselves all the more for not knowing any one. We attend-ed all the ball games ·I: ·Iayed in the grounds, numerous small th-eaters, and at noon ate · dinner on the bank of the creek, throwing down piec-es of wat-ermelon to the fish. In the afternoon there were op-en a:ir band concerts.

But most of all we ,enjoyed· the rest and. qui-et of th e evenings. After a late s upper , when the sun had gone down, the bright stars came out and an hour or so later the moon would appear. The floor of our tent was covered· with bright, clean straw over which we placed some blankets. We ti-ed back the cloors of our tent, allowing the gentle breeze to blow through and affording a delicio us coolness after th-e heat and dust of the long day. Then we thr-ew ourselves down on the straw and tall,ed and talked. :\'ow and then on the breath of wind ca me the music of the band and merry-go-round from far d,own among the t-ents; like the breath of distant and indistin-ct fairy music From behind us came the incessant murmur of th-e water rippling over the stones in the bed of the creekthe last sound to fa ll upon onr sl-eepy ears

In the morning we were up and stirring around by su.nrise. We went down to the cr-eek to wash in the clear wate:r. When we r-eturned our neighbors w-ere boiling co ffee and frying eggs on a small gasoline stove before their tent.

Thus we p assed two da ys. and nights in doing just as our hearts desired . It was not idl-eness, far from it. We were busy all the time; but how we d icl enjoy it and we would not have -each night. But on the third day we took our train for h om-e just at su.ndown, full y resolved to return to this most delightful place the following year.

DISAPPEARANCE OF DOBBS.

It was in the wash house. Baldy, one of the ol dest engineers on the east end , and his ·fireman were cleaning up after their run "I'll bet my supper is spoiling," said Baldy, "and wife will be worrying We were two hoU:rs· late when we pulled in th is evening."

"He llo, Baldy! How's the old. old man?"

"How' d you come to be s o late? " and va-rious other familiar greetings and i nquiries came to him from a gr.ou.p of enginemen who had dropped down to look at the board.

"Hello boys, how's everybody? I'v e had a hard run today. Ha d to kill so much time wa i ting for number 12 to pass me , I had to l ay in the siding at Eckley for an hour and a half.''

" You knew 12 was late, so why didn't you run on d own a couple of stations on her time? " inquired one of his listeners.

"No thank you, I don't think you' ll catch me doing that," said Baldy. "Didn't you ever hear that story about the mysterious war that Doblls disar>re aretl? He was one of the lloys up Oil the west end about twenty years ago."

"No, spin it," was the common answer of his listeners.

"We ll ," began Baldy, "Dobbs was pulling extra east from Denver. His orders ran out at W'iggins, but as No. 13 was reported twenty minutes late, Dobbs thought he would ·have p lenty of time to run on down to Vallei·y and get in the clear. That was before the days of the speed recorder, and so when Dobbs got out of town he opened· her up and rambled right along through t he dusk . But as· No. 13 had made up fifteen minutes, Dobbs' plans mis carried, and the trains met head on, just as Dobbs was at the whistling post. engine had· its headlight lit, so they didn't see each other until it was too late.

"There was a crash, the groaning and· creaking of twisting and strainiJ+g timbers, the hiss of escaping steam and then the dust settled softly on the wreck."

This, however, is another story. Anyway, the boys up on the west end never got it satisfactorily de-cided as to whether he was scared madJ Or only fl e d to escape the consequences . I--"

" Oh Bald:y," broke in the master me-chanic, who had just stuck his heaci in at the door, "Come over to the office, I want to go over that engi n e failure s·heet with you.''

Bal dy , who had now finished his cleaning up, took th i s opportunity of escaping, hurried over to the ma ster mechanic's offic·e leaving a questioning audience behind

A DOG ' S DAY.

Yesterday was the most miserable dog alive. I was lonesome. They a ll we nt away and: they vu.t my lled on the bac k porch and locked. the doors so I co uldn 't. pos s ibly scratch them op e n Th eY' !mow I bate. to sleep on the b aclt porch in the day time

I thought E.Iizabeth gave rue an unu s ual breakfast and it did sound as if s he said· something -about " the poor fellow not getting any more that day." And :Hr Jad;: came Pretty ear l y in the morning. He never comes until after s upper .

Oh , I might have known that something was going to happen, but I wa s stupid and· went to see if I could find the bone the Smith dog buried the day before, and when I came back they w ere just starting. They had basket8 that smelled l ike they had good things to eat in them., and· they we re laughing and· ta l king. They told me good-by e and Eliz abet h v a tted me and told m e to stay home and be good'. lf she !mew how the words "stay home" affect me!

I put what tail I have between my l egs and · looked my very most d owncast. Sometimes when I -do this she repents a n d· says, " Well, come on old fellow.'' But this. time .she on ly looked up at Mr. J ack and smiled .

T hey went and I sat dow n an d watched· them go. I knew it was n o use even trying to sneak because I lmew they were going. on the car Yes, the car came along and swall owed them •up and left me. It was mean of E li zabeth not to take me. She knew I wanted: to go. If a girl had; come along and; whistled to me I would have lleen tempted to go off w:ith her B u t none would h ave whistled, homely 'as I am and disconsolate as I looked, with my tooth sticking out further than ever over my lip. Boys wou.l d hav e whistled, but I don 't care for boys, at least not ma n y. M·r. Jack took me where th e re were a lot of boys once and another dog and· I d idn't like any of them. The d.Dg licked me and when Jack took me home, E!izalleth quarrel e d with him.

There wasn't a ch icken nor a cat nor another dog to be seen. I tell you I was lonesome.

I went over to i\1rs. Clark's, scratched very politely on he r back door and· -asl,ed her in my llest manner if. she had ha<1 so up the day before and if she bap'rened to have saved. the bone She was n't a bi t polite to me , but I wasn 't hungry an yway. I was jus t lonesom e.

Looldng up and down the Street for a cat or a chicken or something I saw the ice-man coming. Now it is always a mild little amusement to nip at the ice -man 's heels so I sat down and waited for him.

Lo and behold! He d i dn't br i ng us any ice, so there was no excuse for nipping his heels

I decided that a nap was the on l y thing left for me, but . just as I had ex.pected there was one big green fly that bothered me. After I had succeeded in swallowing him I did h ave a nap , bu.t I dr eame d such a horrii.Jle dr ea m. I thought Elizabeth had a new clog antl .didn't pay any mor e a ttention to rue.

The Smith dog ca me ov e r just then and wakened me up. He had just had a llath and was· in the best possible mood to go "cat hunting." So we started . I took him first, to my rolling p lace in t he garden and he put the finishing touches on his bath

OMAHA WINS TOO EXTRAVAGANT

Take s Th ird Pl a ce

By scoring points in every event save two , Omaha high schoo l won the state high school meet Saturday afternoon in a wall;away. The boys from the metropolis made a tota l of 44 1-2 points, including first in· the one-half mile re l ay.

York was Omaha' s closest competitor, recording 24 5-6 points. Lincoln came a dose third on a score of 23 .p.oints even.

WMle no individual all-around honors were officially awarded, Wiley of York received the unofficial title . He scored 15 points on three firsts, the 220cyard hurdles, the h i gh pump and the broad jump, Wood of Omaha was second individual winner, with two (il·JStS and one second to his credit. He won the noyard and the 220,yar<L dashes and took second in the broad jump. A. Collins of Linco l n came third with 12 po ints, which he scored by taking first in the dash and in the hammer throw and third in the shot put.

One hund-red and thirty athletes representing twenty secondary s-choo ls , were entered in the meet. It was r un off on almost schedu le time, and intense schoo l l oya l ty ori the part of l,OD O spectators was one of the features of the afternoon.

Co ll ins o·f Lincoln ran afierce race in the 440-yard He started out at a fui ious pace and left the entire bunch by a distance o f severa l feet. Ha l f-way round the pace began to te ll , and l\1 ill ard of Omaha gaine d on him with threatening speed Co llins then put on a s purt which he carried c lear to the finish line , winning by a foot from the Omaha runner .

The half-mile re l ay record set last year by Omaha when the distance was run in 1 minute and 37 seconds was lowered by ath letes lfr;>m the sa me schoo l,

who ran the '880 yards in 1 minu.te 36 2-5 seconds.

LAST ADVOCATE.

This is the last number of the Advocate for th i s year. This nuJ;llber, the twenty-fifth pap:er, gives those students who bought season tickets with a subscription , 25 papers for 25 cents-less than a cent a paper. This is far the cheapest rate given in any high school i n the west.

The staff wishes to thank the students and the advertisers for their earnest support.

Y. W. C A NOTES.

The Y. W. C A., party held in the City Y. W. C. A . gymnasium , April 29th, was a grand success. There were not many present, but those who did come enjoyed themselves very much After reveling in beanbag games and jumping stu.nts , the more sedate and dign i fied guests enjoyed watching the younger ones in a hasket b a ll game. The game was so exciting that n o decision as to the winer could be reached . H the girls want to see the picture taken the r e , they sho u ld see Irma Mattley, the photographer . The reception for the members of the association and the i r mothers had to be postponed from May 5th to ::\1a.y 12th on acco'llnt of another engagement of M-rs Aldrich. However , a ll the members of the association and their mothe r s were cordia ll y we l comed at the governor's mansion last Fr i day night.

G ir ls Should D r es s Mor e Si m pl y For School

(Wr itten for The Advocate by a prominent high school gi rl. )

It seems to me , and, as far as I know, to many oth€rs, that the gir ls of Linco l n high school should dress more simp ly for s-chool. The girl who comes to high school merely to have a good time and show her clothes, is the gir l, who, in nine cases out of ten, does not make her c r edits. She has wasted ·a ll her time and gained nothing by it.

In the second p lace, overdressing leads to d isagreeab l e remarks by jea lous· girls It causes a great dea l of rivah } ' among the girls whose parents can afford the expense. It sometimes results in g-ir ls in the high school becoming bitter enemies simp l y because they are j ealo us of each other. When one gets a new dress or some prett y little thing, the other gir l does not rest u ntil she gets something j u st a little .prettier or more exp e nsive than the first one has

:\!ext, extravagant and uns u itable dress often cauJ>es poor hea l th. A great many g i r ls wi ll not dress wa r mly enough in the winter They insist on wearing thin stockings and s h oes and sheer white waists. 'l'his o.ften leads to their taking co l d which frequent l y results in serious illness In the cases of wearing extreme styles i n dress. bad health and often serious accidents result. :\lot l ong ago a girl in Salt Lake City while wearing a hobble skirt, tr i r :ped and fel! down a flight of stairs , breaking her leg. Another bad fashion is the wearing of French · hee ls. This !lind of shoe pushes the foot forward , cramping the muscles, which in time deforms the foot.

Again many girls , whose parents cannot afford to dress them very we ll , try to l;eep up with the girls whose parents are ab l e to afford it. T hi s causes se lfishness on the g i r l' s part, for

the streets, they are taken as an ex-amt>le of the Li n co l n high schoo l girl. I have heard the different business men say; "Well, there go some of those Lincoln high school gir ls. Look at those clothes. That's all t)ley go up there for - simply to dress and have a good time."

Is it fair , I ask , to the gir l s who at e really interested in the work and anxious to learn , to be thus unj u stly accused?

H this difficulty is caused, by thoughtlessness, girls of high school age are o ld enough to 'be considerate of others. If it is caused b y deliberate se l fishness, the girls who insist on overdressing are not really getting much education, because educa · tion ought to make one quicker to consider the and feel · ings of others.
