Constitutional Convention.

Considerable argument was INDUCED
in before the committee of the whole
recommended Kings S. F. No. 1855 for
passage and this was done by vote
of II to H. The bill submits to the
voters of the state proposition to
hold a convention to revise the consti-
tuition. Before the title of the bill
had fairly been read, two home rule"
senators were on their feet to op-
pose it. They were Howell of Douglas
and Volpp of Dodge. King said the
present constitution had been out
grown. 1t was adopted when the state
had population of 100000 more than
a third of century ago and now the
population is one and a quarter mil.
lions. He said the state needed a
board of control for state institutions
but could not have one under the con-
stitution. In this legislature it is pro-
posed to tax corporations for support
of the state government and to permit
purposes. This cannot be done under
the present constitution. Tibbets said
the state bar had long ago asked for
constitutional convention.
Howell challenged the other side to
give particulars and show why such
convention is needed or is demanded.
So far as he knew there was no rea-
son for it, unless it be to incorporate
some home rule doctrine which no
himself favored. He said few except
attorneys were asking for it, and he
admitted that the attorneys knew
more about such matters than laymen,
yet he asked for further reasons for
holding constitutional convention.
King gave him some reasons, and the
bill was recommended for passage by
bare majority.

MCLEAN ON FOOT BALL RULES
President of Iowa University Hns
Plans to Improve Game.

81
DIES MONIES, Nov. 20.-(SpeciaL)-How
to modify the casualty record of foot ball
Is virtually the purpose of a great college
conference soon to be held i'm the east and
1t is the theme Of a symposium being gath
cred by Casper Whitney, the sporting au-
thority. President MacLean OF the Univer-
sity Of Iowa will contribute to the SYM
postum and the university will send a dele
gate to the conference.
President MacLean is Of the opinion that.
among other things, It would be possible
to greatly improve conditions by strength
ening the officers of the game on the field.
The officers are now very hard worked
he said, while here attending a meeting
Of the State Board of Educational Exam
liners. They have all and more than they
can do. 1t may be best to add at least one
more. Then they should be carefully Sc
lected and be men of good Judgment and
well trained. They should be we'll paid, so
as to secure the best talent possible, and
It seems to me probable that this would
go far toward lessening the accidents of the
game.
Il see that Mr.. Stage has suggested some
changes largely with a view to making the
game still more open. 1t is suggested that
there be only two downs instead Of three
and that the distance be fifteen yards in
stead of ten, also that the dragging of play
ers be forbidden. These changes would
make quite a difference and prevent so
much Of the mass playing in which prac-
tically all the injuries occur. 1t seems to
me that 1t would be good policy also to
arrange 1t in some way so that when the
officer of the game sees that a down is
inevitable he can blow his whistle and stop
the play before the men have a chance TO
pile up on each other. That which is lone
after a player is down with the ball and
practically all the players are on or over
him is not science nor of interest"
In regard to the recent troubles of stu
dents at Iowa City over an attack on a
theater. President MacLea states that it
grew out Of an entirely innocent error on
the part Of the yellmaster I'm making an
nouncement that the theater would be free
to the students. But, as a matter Of fact,
the damage done was not as great as has
been represented, and it was due to a great
degree to outsiders.

SPRINGFIELD HAS CLEAN SLATE
Defeat Meets the Benton Team of
Om6ha.

SPRINGFIELD. Neb, Nov. 2O.-(special
Telegram)-The Springfield High school
foot ball team got away with another
clean slate today. continuing its reputation
for not being scored against this season
by defeating the Benton club Of Omaha
by a score OF II TO O..
S~pringfield's first touchdown was made
on the second play in the first half, Cal
houn carrying the ball through easily on
a fake play. Springfield lost two touch
downs through penalty.
Earl Haney. at right end, starred for
Springfield and played a remarkable game.
Adair and Cockerill's playing was also
good and Calhoun made several good
gains. The visitors were mostly old cx-
high school players from Omaha and put
up a strong article Of ball, but lacked the
necessary team work and also apparently
underestlmated their opponents.
Springfield closes the season Thanksgiv-
ing day with a game with the Clifton Attn
leuc club Of Omaha.

hardly a red man was even slightly hurt.

of the Denver game. He hardly expected
his team to win. on form the Denver team
was one Of the strongest in the west. II
am certainly pleased with the showing of
team said Bender. Can we beat
Nebraska on Thanksgiving? Well, 1 think
we can though we can tell more about
that after Nebraska plays with Denver.
1t will be hard for the C~ornhuskers to
put up a better game than my team did.
l expect to defeat Nebraska, that has
been the goal tina l nave prepared to

Haskell has done some good work this
season and the light, fast men play a
whirlwind game. Some Of the local critics
say the Indians are as strong as Kansas.
II that is the case Nebraska will have a
hard time to defeat the men of the one

Haskelrs defeat Of Koehler's Denver
players was the second one the western
eleven had suffered I'm two seasons. the
other losing game having been played with
the famous Carlisle Indians in December,
1908. The fact that the Carlisles defeated
Nebraska 81 to 6, and Denver, a week later,
only 3 to 4, has made Haskelrs victory
aaH- go ~
able in the eyes of Nebraska %rooters, and
they decided this week that, no matter
what the result Of the Nebraska-D Denver
game should be this afternoon, the red
skins from Lawrence would be a stiff arti-
Gle for Coles men to handle.

Coach Bender, in writing to friends in

The former Cornhusker star relates, in
talking Of the Denver game, hat his
raves would have had a much easier
time with the western bunch had there
been a dry, fast field. In making this as
sertion Bender shows his spirit Of con-
fldence, so the Nebraska rooters think,
and destroys the effect of his declaration
that he does not expect to win.
There are other things, too. that indicate
Bender has high hopes of defeating the
~Cornhuskers. He is very anxious to gel
certain officials for the game, and he says
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS game was very slow
This latter point is taken as a gentle hint
that he believes his Indians are much
