The Nebraska game meant par

to "the foolish meetings and it
was some time before the audience

frequently interrupted by people in

were hurled in his direction. For a
few moments the meeting bordered
on pandemonium. Mr. Schaub sug-
gested Soren Nelson and Henry
Zimmerman as two members of the

DR.. Boles announced that he did
not want to be interrupted, that he
did not care to have the city at
