public declaration today Secretary
Clapp of the athletic board outlined
Nebraska's position as follows:
Nebraska has not considered the
matter this year, either in the board
meetings or out of them. There was
some talk of itnlast year, but it was
dropped and has not been taken up
since. I don't, even know if there is
any such move on among the western
schools. Nebraska would not join, as
there would be nothing for us to gain
and everything TO lose. 1t is no doubt
only a matter of time when we will be
in the Big Nine and membership in
any other organization would hurt our
chances of going into the former or

ARMY AND NAVY.
Great Improvement Made in Eff
cheney of Military

The effect of the laws providing a
general staff for the army and for the
more effective use of the national guard
has been excellent. Great improve
ment has been made in the efficiency of
our army in recent years. Such schools
as those erected at Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley and the institution of
fall maneuver work accomplish salts
factory results. The good effect Of these
naneuvers upon the national guard is
marked, and ample appropriation should
be made to enable the guardsmen of
the several states to share in the bene-
fit. The government should as soon as
possible secure suitable permanent camp
sites for military maneuvers in the
various sections Of the country. The
service thereby rendered not only to the
