The University pastors have ar

bring to the serious attention of every
man in the University the three-fold
emphasis of the Christian proposition.
As outlined by the leaders of this cam
paign, this has been defined as mean
ing: the leadership of Christ in the
individual life; the value of Chris
tian fellowship and worship, and the
challenge to social service.

LAWS TO PUBLISH THE
NEXT AW6WAN ISSUE
None of Doctor Maxey's Copy to Be
Used Laws Are Positive That
This Number Will Be Re
corded in History
"The next issue of the Awgwan is
to be the most successful of the year,"
say the Law students. It will be pub
lished the fourteenth of the month.
No copy will be accepted from Doctor
Maxey or J. L. McMasters.
The Law students are positive that
this number of the Awgwan will be
unique in the history of University
publications. All cartoons will bear
on the lawyer's life in college, which
they say is to be 95 per cent humor
and 5 per cent nonsense.
The Lawyers wish to reiterate that
Doctor Maxey will have nothing to do
with this publication. It will be filled
with new Jokes instead of stale and
trite phrases.

WESLEtAH
VICTORS
COYOTES TAKE LAST GAME OF
SEASON FROM HUSKERS. 39-16
HUSKERS WERE OUTCLASSED
Wesleyan Shows Better Form Than
Nebraska Huskers Fail to Locate
Basket Thiesen Scores All
of Nebraska's Points
Wesleyan retrieved her earlier de
feat by taking the last game of the
season from the Huskers in the Arm
ory last night by the score of 39-15.
Combining accurate goal throwing
with speedy floor work and effective
guarding, the Coyotes fragmented the
Nebraska attack and negotiated goal
after goal. Nebraska displayed
neither teamwork nor ability to shoot
baskets. The Husker machine never
once got going throughout the even
ing, and only one man, Thiesen, play
ing in Gardner's place at forward,
could locate the hoop for the Huskers.
Thiesen was responsible for every
point credited to Nebraska.
Wesleyan got the drop on Nebraska
and gradually increased a comfortable
lead as the game progressed. At
times it seemed that the Huskers
would start the, ball rolling, but the
close guarding of the Methodists
thwarted many a well Intended Husk
er goal. The work of Kline, Vifquain
and Thiesen featured. Kline was the
particular star of the evening. He
was the coyote dependable, ana
scored the majority of Wesleyan's
goals. Thiesen played a shifty, speedy
game at forward, and played a more
consistent game than did any other
Husker.
Wesleyan started scoring with a
couple of free throws by Hussey and
a goal by Kline. Nebraska soon
counted with a free throw and goal
by Thiesen. Kline and Vifquain
scored a moment later, and from that
time on Wesleyan gradually increased
her lead. The first half ended 23-9.
Rutherford was injured and was re
placed by Campbell soon after the
second half began. A little later
Keifer replaced Shields at center.
Nebraska scored a goal and three free
throws early in the' second half, but
Wesleyan started a scoring streak
near the end of the game which In
creased their margin. The game end
ed 39-1G. '
The Armory was packed to over
flowing. The three hundred Wesleyan
supporters lined the south side rather
early in the evening to thwart what
they thought to be a conspiracy r.n
the part of Nebraska rooters to gobble
up all the desirable seats. The spirit
of both teams and t.leir supporters
was for the most part praiseworthy.
Before the game began. Nebraska and
Wesleyan yells were hurled across
the floor in well-timed siinuit 'ni; y.
