Unless the students of the high school are materlally different from their fore- fathers a good size riot is about to break loose around the state house. The doors of the state house have been locked to the young hopefuls. Boys and girls allke are barred from passing through the building while on thelr road to school The occasion for this lockout against the future taxpayers was due to the indiscre- tion of some of the boys in springing the lock on the doors as they passed through So all have to suffer for the evil acts of the few. This morning janitors, armed with all the authority which a Lincoln police star gives one, stood dhthe doors and waved the boys and girls asidé-gwhen they approached the doors \and they had to walk around the buflding rather than go through the corri- dors, its allowance, amounting to al he in But there are other reasons why it is belleved the governor will not remove any members of that normal board.

From the high pedestal on which it has been placed by its champlons and those who knock on other communities, it has been dragged down into the mire and muck until its very face is covered with slinfe. Dear old Lincoln had the facts unearthed by a trav- eling mission worker of the kind the people of this community are ready to trust and belleve when the gaff is thrown into other communities. U. V. Sillaway s the man who wielded the harpoon. He reached Lincoln some time yetserday and by last night he had discovered that Lincoln was reeking with boose joints and poker games and he made the announcement publicly. He went fur- ther and said a man could get into a poker game here at any time and he knew that many men who had money on Saturday night did not have it Sunday night because of these poker joints. He knew, he sald, that all kinds of booze could be secured in Lincoln. So far the Rev. Poulson has not asked the governor to remove the excise board and the chief of police for permitting this terrible menace to the unlversity students to exist. it GAS PLANT MAY HAVE TO CLOSE Nebraska City Tempo: Suffering from = ry Shortage of Coal.

LATTER MAY TAKE ON NEBRASKA | Athletic Director at Wolverine School Promises Eager Firat Favor it Order Sticks as Indications Are It WiIL LINCOLN, Jan. 10.—(Special.)~Talk of a foot ball game between Nebraska and Michigan hext fall has been revived by the announcement from Chicago, the center of the western confereénce's publicity bu- reau, that the “Big Elght” will not permit Minnesota to play its scheduled game with the Wolverines unless the Ann Arbor colle- glans agree to live up to the conference rulings. Minnesota is bound to Michigan by.a two years' contract, 1910 being the final season, and s booked to meet the Wol- verines in Ann Arbor next November. Michigan incurred the wrath of the ma- Jority. leaders of the “Big Eight,” how- ever, by refusing to re-enter’ the western conference fold, and the league's leaders, to get revenge on the Ann Arborites, is- sued an edict to Minnesota last week to the effect that the Gophers would have to cut Michigan off their schedule or be ostra- clsed from “‘Blg Elght" society. To be “eut cold” by the “Big Bight" would mean to Minnesota the loss of both Chicago and Wisconsin from its foot ball schedule for this year. Without these two schools the Gopher schedule would be any- thing. but an httractive one. Then, too, it probably would_be a faflure financially. So it 48 plain that Minnesota cannot afford to miss the chiance of playing Chicago and Wisconsin, even if the alternative be a game with the famous Wolverine band; and the only wise course for the northern school to follow will be to let Michigan drop for this year. This action has been advised by the Gopher board of control and it is likely to be accepted by the foot bail manage- ment of the northern sch The absence of Minnesota from the Michigan schedule will give the Ann Arbor school an open date that partly has been promised to the Cornhuskers and that Is pretty certain to be offered to them again. Michigan Offers Game. Early last fall the Michigan management that Nebraska might be given a place on the 1910 Wol- verine schedule, and the Cornhuskers were strongly considered until the Ann Arbor athletic board signed up with Pennsylvania for another vear. Then the Michigan schedule was filled, unless Minnesota should have to abandon its game. Manager Eager made a special trip to Chicago during the Christmas recess to see Athletic Director Bartelme of Michi- gan regarding a 1910 me with the Wol- verines and was told at that time that would have to walt at vear for a chance to meet the Michigan players, unless Minnesota refused to play. It was then known that the “Big Eight”’ was considering some ac- tion that might prevent Minnesota's carry- ing out its contract with Yost's eleven, Director Bartelme, in no uncertain terms, told Manager Eager that Nebraska would have the first chance at a game with Michigan In case Minnesota had to back out of its agreement. Now, since the “Blg Eight" has served its mandatory notice on the Gophers, Ne- braska's chences of getting the much_de- sired contest with the Wolverines are thought to be excellent. There has been no official move by Minnesota toward tell- | ing Michigan that It cannot be played next fall, but this notice will have to be given soon, and then the Cornhuskers may ex- peet to hear from Director Bartelme. Manager Eager sald today, that he felt sure Michigan would accept Nebraska's offer as soon a&s Minnesota notified the Ann Arbor management of the proposition, against which the Gophers have been forced by their colleagues in the confer- ence. .
