URGE a RECONCILIATION.
X. L. Students Would Resume Ath-
Ietic Relations With Nebraska.


Lawrence, Kan, March 16.-By IN
animous vote in a class meeting held
at the University of Kansas, the fresh
man class adopted resolutions recon-
mending that the athletic board of the
university do all in it's power to re-
sumo athletic relations with the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
Although this move was unexpected
the class handled the motion as though
their minds had been made up on this
subject long ago. A motion to lay the
resolution on the table was killed and
all the prominent freshman football
men and leaders in class matters spoke
in favor of the resolutions.
1t is thought that now that the fresh
man class. which comprises nearly half
of the student body, has taken up the
Kansas-Neb raska matter as though
they meant business, something viii be
done Immediately. The other classes
will probably adopt similar resolutions al
their next meetings. With the students
clamoring for a resumption of athletic
relations with Nebraska the board can
not help but act as they wish
If resolutions do no good, number
of athletic leaders will call meeting OF
the Athletic association, which has con-
troll of the athletic board and has an
overwhelming majority Of student mem
bers. and the question will be fought
out in a large meeting. The students
are determined that if possible, kan
sas shall get a chance at the Nebraska
football team next year and, unless
things are delayed by a few who stu
hold a grudge against the Cornhuskers,
something definite will be done as soon
"a the track meet is over.

to Fight

claims Cincinnati as his home and
birthplace, may lead to a bitter fight
between the respective bands ard to a
pugilistic argument for rich spoils as a
side issue. John German, who, with his
father and their families, has Travelled
over the broad expanse of Uncle Sam
territory in tented wagons, lays some
pretense to pugilistic skill. He says he
was born in Cincinnati and claims to
have performed in various bouts at
small cities in Ohio and Indiana.
Large talk INDUCED in by Mike
Dougherty who is camped near the
German location in the suburbs. IS
said to have caused almost a pitched
battle between the gypsies, but milder
counsel prevailed and German has for
mally challenged Dougherty to a
Queensberry argument. limited rounds
or to a. finish, for 81, 900 a side, and has
posted 500 to bind the match.
Dougherty has not yet accepted. Cor
man says he is willing to go to Little
Rock, Hot Springs or any other place
any time to settle the question of their
superiority as fighters. Catch weights
will govern if they meet. German
weighs IT'S pounds stripped, while
Dougherty tips the beam at 1856 pounds.
