CATION When the trench for the main
sewer at Upper Ormond quay was being
dug the diggers came on an old ship,
which was buried in the ground, some
30 feet down, nearly opposite the head
of East Arran street. The direction Of
the ship was at right angles to the quay
wall, the bow projecting toward up
river.
The vessel was evidently swallowed
up in the sands which formed the banks
of the river long ere the present quays
were built The width Of the ship is o
feet. It's length is an unknown quantity,
for those who found the vessel simply
cut away as much as was necessary to
construct the sewer. Even its depth was
not ascertained, because the bottom OF
the new sewer is only some two feet I'M
derneath the point where the gunwales
of the boat begin, and the workmen did
not go to a greater depth than they
were compelled for main drainage pur-
poses. The material of which the ship
was made is oak, but, owing to its long
stay in the ground, the wood is stained
almost black.
A peculiar feature in the construction
of the vessel is that the timbers are al
most all fastened together by means of
oak plugs, there being very little iron
employed From the charred appearance

Of the deck timbers it is considered
probable that an attempt was made to
set fire to the ship, but the fire did not
spread, as the side timbers show no
traces of burning. Near the top of the
ship was found a quantity of coal, and
Ii pound cannon ball was also discov-
cred. Higher up the quay, almost oppo-
site the city sheriff s office, another ship
was found.
This one, which lay i'll the direction
parallel to the quay wall had also evil

which used to border the Liffey in its
progress through the Dublin of other
days. The same peculiarities of con-
struction as were observed i'll the case Of
the first ship were noticed III that of
the second. There did not, however, ap-
pear to have been an attempt to set the
boat on fire.
The workmen express their belief that
the ships are as old as the days Of Brian,
the latter name being rather familiar
reference to the conqueror of Clontarf.
The presence of a cannon ball would
seem to do away with this theory, for

that it has ever been at this period Of
the season, but like many other
things. this can only be told by the
first league game.
Two years ago when Kansas de-
feated Nebraska upon the home
grounds, it WIS thought that they
were i'm excellent condition. but just
at the last end the team became worn
out and Kansas pushed the ball along
at will making the winning touch
down.
Who will play behind the line in
the Missouri game is not yet known.
Some of the candidates who showed
up well at the beginning have taken
a sort Of mid-seasOn ''slump" and need
tuning up. Those who were behind
i'm the race at first are picking up and
indications lead one to bellevue that
their chances are as good il not better
at present than the Others. They are
playing hard, fierce ball and their
work upon the defense Is cleaner and
safer. However. Of all those trying
for positions, whoever gets the places,
one may be sure of having faster backs
all around this year than last. Dur
ing the former season there were not
enough men trying for the positions
behind the line to cause them to work.
This year no one has sure place, and
the team is strengt hened and quite
evenly balanced. At present six of
the old line men are at work, and al
though some Of the players have been
shifted into other positions, it has
been done to strengthen the left side.
which was the weak one last year.
Benedict, on the left end, has been
replaced by Stringer, and he is now
trying behind the line where there is
a possibility Of his playing in the com
ing games. The training at end in
going down the field on points has
done him much good for a place be.
hind the line. The line is heavier
this year than last, considered as a
whole. The ends especially. 1t was
found necessary to put heavy men in
these latter positions in order to meet
the Pennsylvania style of interference
which is played by both Iowa and
Kansas. This consists of the guard,
being drawn back with the halves anG

around the ends i'm the interference
This is an effective style of play. as i,

tie game played. The whole eleven
went upon the ground feeling conf
dent. and as result the game was
slow and ragged during the first half.
OF course .Wesleyan's style Of play
contributed in large measure to this.
The halves were but fifteen minutes
in length and the visiting team know
ing there was no chance Of their scOr-
ing played for time. And although
no direct charges can be made. it ap-
peared at the time as il the officials
abetted this. Several times in the
game the play was not permitted to
go on, although time had not been
called by either captain. Only during
the last five or six minutes did the
varsity play their accustomed game:
and considering all the time wasted
there was not really more than this
amount in the whole of the second,
during which the play was going on.
For the home team then to score
eleven points i'm this time shows the
possibilities of the team. The prac-
tice this week has been quickened, land
the individual work has been char
acterized by more dash than formerly
To play a quick. snappy game the
players must play fierce game. BY
this is not meant mean or question
able playing, but the hardest kind of
playing the members can put forth.
Each play should be made as il it were
the last one of the half; and when a
man interferes he should block hard,
and long, and low.
There is one particular which is yet
to be seen of the varsity team, and
that is their work on the kickoff.
Last year the eleven was weak i'm get
ting down the field on the kickoff
and downing the ball Immediately.
Too often the opposing team has
blocked up and carried the ball back
for fifteen or twenty yards. On the
other hand weakness has been shown
in receiving the ball on the kickoff
and returning it. The interference
did not form briskly enough, and the
men showed tendency to let the
player catching the ball go by himself.
Whether this point has been improved
upon this year or not is yet to he seen.
So far i'm the TarkiO and Wesleyan
game. it did better. but this was no
true test. In the Ames game. it was
very weak i'm this regard: but there is
the extenuating circumstance Of its
being an early game. The game with
Missouri will demonstrate fully
whether Nebraska get off clean and
swift i'm this opening play Of the
game.

sumo his place at center will strength.
en- the team vastly. So far no one
has been found able to fill the posi-
ton as well as he. Besides being an
aggressive player, and one who drops
back on end plays, he possesses the
faculty Of stirring up the guards and
making them play harder and safer
ball. The team is especially well
fitted out i'm the center for offensive
work.
During the past few days the team
has been put through longer and more
arduOus work. Heretofore the game,
which have been played have been
merely fifteen and twenty minute
halves. But thirty-five minute halves
is an entirely different sort of thing

Mr.. Howard, of the Deboe- Hunter
side, moved to proceed to the nomin-
alton of senator. w. H. Morgan, of
the Holt side, counseled caution
against haste and proposed a post
ponement for a few days till they all
could agree on some one man. Mr.
Burnam also thought a little delay
would do no harm. Mr.. Howard for
the Deboe side, insisted on immediate
action. Mr.. Lieberth argued that the
two conflicting proxies of Mr.. Morgan
were sufficient reason to postpone the
nomination.
Things finally got warm and Mr.. Lie
berth said, in SO many words, that
Deboe had been given an advantage
by Hunter in being allowed to cleo
tioneer, while Holt could not con-
sistently do so. Finally, after a two
hours wrangle, a motion to adjourn till
tomorrow night was voted upon. Mr..
Lieberth made the point that certain
proxies could not be voted on this ques-
tion and the chair sustained his mo-
tion. The vote to adjourn carried by
one vote, 80 to 81.
