can make himself so conspicuous as q

Long before 4 o'clock, the hour Of

OMf
Nebraska University
Foot Ball Retrospect

with the Thanksgiving day game in
Omaha the Nebraska university foot ball
team closed most unsuccessful season, in
which the heretofore victorious colors Of
scarlet and cream have been lowered down
below those OF rival teams. The difficulties
encountered all through the season by the
coach and managers OF Nebraska's foot ball
eleven were too great to be overcome and
time after time the champions were defeated
by teams OF minor Importance.
At the outset 1t was evident that Ne
braska could not maintain It's previous cham
pionship record. The players were slow in
coming out for practice, all of the available
material was green and on top OF all this
the work OF the coach was made all the
more difficult by the determined opposition
of student faction.
From the beginning an utter lack of har-
mony existed among the players, due almost
entirely to the influence of this faction,
which sought to dlslodge from the team GER
tain players who happened to be members OF
another college organization. Last year the
team was controlled by the students who
this year opposed 1t and the reason for this
sudden change Is supposed to have originated
from the action OF the coach in rejecting
certain candidates for positions on the team.
All through the season the coach was sup
ported by the athletic board of the uni
Versity and whatever action he took con-
cerring the players was approved by the
governing board.
In one sense 1t was a fight to eradicate

Quaint Haunts of
Cherished Freedom

There are a number Of small republics
in the world about which so little is known
that not one person in a thousand could
tell you anything about them, yet each
is little kingdom in itself, with a presi-
dent and council to govern state affairs and
it's own peculiar trials and troubles to worry
the people.
Ae regards population, says writer in
Tit-Bits, the smallest republic in the world
is that of Tavolara, an island about five miles
long, with an average width of a little more
than half a mile, situated about a dozen
miles to the northeast Of Sardinia. The
total population of the whole republic does
not exceed sixty, but they elect a president
every six years, and a council of six men,
bers, all of whom serve the state without
pay. The women of this island go to the
polls and vote with the men, and ever since
it became a republic, in 1886. all public
business has been transacted without tur

ton on the varsity eleven. The captain
was out of the state and no arrangements
had been made for beginning practice.
But the first real difficulty was enc un-
tered when it came time TO choose the play
ers for the first game-the one at Ames, Ia
difference of opinion arose between the
captain and the coach concerning the selec.
tion OF the men, the former demanding
the appointment OF two men out for prac-
tice only twice during the two weeks. one
not even registered as a student OF the
university. President White of the ath-
letic board when appealed to upheld the
coach in his contention and the men we're
left at home
Captain Williams unable to devote much
time to the team during the fore part OF
the season, in no games showed I'D in his
old time condition. Because of supposed i'll
feeling on the part OF the coach he resigned
as captain shortly before the championship
game with Missouri giving the reason at
the time that he was not in condition to
play. The effort to break up the team was
then discovered, but the athletic board sue
ceeded in compromising the many differ
ences. The day following the Missouri
game five of Nebraska's squad refused to
go into practice unless Williams were rein

partially upon the request of the captains

resignation. This, however, did not sat sly

professionalism from university athletics.
Prohting by the experience of former man
ayers of the team, 1t was decided at the
opening of the season to restrain from play
ing all candidates not bona fide students of
the university and to play only amateur
teams. This has always been the aim of
those in charge of athletics at the university
but 1t Is well known fact that on more
than one occasion in past years profession
alism has been allowed to creep in, to the
detriment OF the team.
From financial standpoint last years
foot ball season was failure. The fact that
the receipts were far below the claims led
the manager of the team to arrange for a
game with the Denver Athletic club. 1t was
announced in Lincoln that the game was to
be with Denver college. There is a dispute
as to whether the governing board was
cognizant of the fact that the Denver team
was purely professional one but after the
game the truth became known and a state
ment was issued censuring the manager and
captain and holding them both directly and
wholly responsible for the violation of the
rule against professionalism.
The feeling engendered by this action of
the athletic board has not subsided and it
Is not surprising that the friends of those
censured last year have arrayed themselves
against the board, which Is comprised prac-
tically of last years members A complete
history of the foot ball season just brought
to a close, therefore, would involve several
university fraternities and one as leader
of this years opposition
Besides all this opposition were innumer-
able discouraging features. The players
themselves were dlsheartened by the pros
poets and nearly all who went into practice
lacked weight, experience and knowledge
of the game. Only two of last years men
were back for their old positions. While
most OF the candidates had been in practice
the year before, 1t had been OF such
nature as to be of no lasting value and
they had to start in again and learn the
game by degrees. Contrary to the methods
pursued by the coaches OF the eastern col
lege teams, the coach of Nebraska's cham
pion team OF 1898 had paid no attenti
whatever to the second eleven. His one
aim was to produce a successful foot ball
team for single season. regardless of its
future welfare. The conditions then were
much more favorable than those existing at
the opening of this years season. Seven
places on the team were filled by old men
and the others had had some foot ball train

moil the elections taking place without
any high party feeling or undue eXcitemeL t.
In 1886 King Charles Albert of Sardinia
granted the Island of Tavolara to a family
of the name of Bartoleoni. but in less than
half century the inhabitants threw off the
yoke of monarchy and took to themselves
the right to be governed by themselves.
This little war did not alarm the world, and
was quite a peaceful one. King Paul
reigned until 1882, and on his deathbed re-
quested that none of his kin should sue
ceed to the throne, and as no one claimed
the honor, four years later the people de-
cided to draw up constitution, and Tavolara
has been very successful little republic
since.
Twelve years ago its independence was
recognized by Italy and, it is to be pre-
sumed, other powers would have recognized
it also If they had known of its existence.
The inhabitants live principally by fishing
and raising fruits and vegetables. They
fear no sudden invasion for they dispense
with any army and navy, and presumably
in case of need would rely upon the entire
population to uphold the freedom of the
country.
Very few people have heard of the exist
ence of the republic of Goust, which is
situated on the fiat top of mountain in
the Bases Pyrenees, south of France. 1t
has but an area of one and a quarter square
miles, and a population Of 140; so that, as
regards size, it can fairly claim to be the
smallest republic in the world. 1t is an
older republic than the United States, hav-
ing been in existence since 164S, and enjoys
the distinction of being recognized by both
Spain and France.
The president is elected from an elder
college, consisting of twelve peasants, who
are chosen every twelve years by the people.
