Miss Elma Reeder, who plays the part of Vera Revtndal, supporting Mr. Maurice Clark in "The Melting Pot -Nebraska Bheuld be proud of the sportsmanship of her crowds." de clared Kefereo Frank Birch, ex-Earl-ham, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, aftor the Ames-Nebraska basketball game last Saturday. Kirch commented on the hospitality of ths university and said no team could possibly find fault with a Nebraska crowd. He stated that he always received the best' of treat ment and was sure everyone else did. It is needless to say the refereeing of Birch is of a calibre which could receive nothing; but the best treatment from any crowd. He has officiated in many of Nebraska's contests, and has always shown himself to be square and Just. Birch will referee th Wes leyan-Nebraska game Friday, February 18. He has been secured for the Iowa, Notre Dame and possibly the Ames football games of next year. - Three more high schools have en tered the Nebraska high school bas ketball tournament, March 8-11. Total to date, 140. The Kansas high school basketball tournament draws only about fifty en tries, in spite of the fact that Kansas is more populous than Nebraska. The Iowa, contests are held in iix districts, with altout seventy teams en tered. The finals are played off be. tween district champions. .The CornhusUers and Coyotes meet again, February 18, on the Weslcyan floor. If the Cornhnskers trim the Kansas Aggies IYiday and Saturday and Wesleyan the following week they will have undisputed claim to the championship of the state and Mis sourl Valley. The Kansas Aggies arrive Friday for a two-game series with Sam WaugVs pupils. The Aggies have cleaned up everything in sight this year, and beat Kansas much worse than did Nebraska. Missouri as yet remains tindefeated, but the i'ope is that the Kansas Aggies will tend to that a little later in the season. If both Nebraska and Missouri win from the Farmers, the ' Missouri Valley title will be clouded, since Missouri is not on the Cornhusker schedule. Dope is favoring Nebraska over the Aggies, and the Aggies over Missouri but you never can tell. For typewriting and copying, call L-9699, Emma Phillips. (Continued from page 3) conclusive that she has a strong case, for Colombia well knows that no na tion would at the present time sub mit to arbitratoin the question of whether or not she had acted in good faith, and this as we .have shown is not incidental but the fundamental question to be determined. The provision allowing the Colom bian coastwise vessels to pass through the canal free of toll is not a little surprising in view of the recent in sistence of the present administration that the provision in the act of con gress exempting our own coastwise vessels from tolls should be forthwith repealed. Why we have greater pow er in regard to other coastwise ves sels than in regard to our own is not clear. Should Great Britain insist that this violates the provision In the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in regard to "all vessels" being guaranteed equal treatment we would be under the ne cessity of either convincing Great Brit ain that all vessels means all vessels when applied to our own, but not when applied to those of Colombia; or else buy off Colombia at a price which will "satisfy Colombia's sense of justice." There are those who object to the. expression of regret, which amounts to an apology. But this feeling is not well founded, for either we have wronged Colombia or we have not. If we have, an apology is certainly due her. If we have not wronged Colom bia, there is no excuse for the treaty. To satisfy her sense of outraged jus tice regardless of its justification might readily have a tendency to en courage an epidemic'of such feelings upon the part of our other neighbors, and Mexico might, eleven years hence, demand several million and some re gret for our hesitation in recognizing Huerta. The pious hope of the administra tion that the treaty "will give pres tige to the United States throughout Spanish America," seems to evince a lack of knowledge of human nature. Prestige is not the product of conces sion. Whether between states or be tween individuals, prestige is not en hanced by yielding to arbitrary and unjust demands. I 6hall not attempt to discredit such demands by applying to them the epithet "belated black-mail," but if anyone else should so character ize them I would not be in a position to dispute the accuracy of the characterization. iilfi SHIRT BARGAINS Mammoth Clearance Men!
