Allowed to Play This Year
rlnns for tho intor-frntornlty basket
ball tourney woro all shot to pieces,
when tho military department com-
niantlored tho Armory and gym last
night, to conduct the measuring of
cadets for their military uniforms
Roscoo B. Rhodes, president of the in-
ter-frnternlty athletic board, has called
n meeting of the schedule committee
for today, when the shedule will bo
straightened out, and tho time for tho
postponed games sot.
The games affected by last night's
change in plans were Alpha Tau
Omega vs. Alpha Theta Chi, and Delta
Chi vs. Delta Tau Delta. These games
will be played at whatever time can
be arranged which is convenient for
all terms. Besides these two games the
Acacia-Alpha Sigma Phi game was to
have been played yesterday at 4
o'clock, but was postponed by mutual
agreement. It is possible that this
game will be played some time today,
probably at the noon hour. The rest
of the schedule for the meet will be
played off as originally planned.
Little Dope Out Yet
There is little reliable dope on the
tournament this year. While some
frats have men who have had experi
ence in the game, and may be real
players, on tho other hand, others have
men who have weight and aggressive
ness, and in inter-frat basketball
weight and. aggressiveness count Just
as much, if not more than real skill
and ability. The frats having the most
football players in their chapters are
considered to have the best chance of
winning. The meet is held under pe
culiar conditions this year, in that can
didates for tho varsity will be allowed
to play. The rules governing the con
tests specify that any one who has won
a letter or made a trip shall be ex
cluded, but so far this year, no games
have been played by the varsity, and
Jackson of the D. U.'s and Riddell of
the Delta Tau's are the only frat men
in school who will be ineligible for the
games. As a general thing, the or
ganizations who are thinking most of
winning are saying the least about
their chances.
The Schedule
The schedule, not including the
games which were postponed, is as fol
lows: Delta Upsilon vs. Kappa Sigma,
Tuesday, January 8, C o'clock.
Phi Delta Theta vs. Phi Gamma

EVERY CADET SOON
TO HAVE UNIFORM
Measurements Taken Last
Evening in Armory
REPLACE CIVILIAN CLOTHES
Men Students of Department to Wear
New Suits on Campus Accord
ing to Recent Vote
That drill suits for mon will soon
become n reality became quite ovldont
yesterday afternoon and evoning,
when tho actual measuring and order
ing for the suits commenced. Tho
orders for tho suits will be sent out
Immediately, and it is expected that
the suits will be hero before the be
ginning of tho next semester.
This action is tho result of tho de
cision made some lime ago by tho
men taking drill to buy the uniforms,
in co-operation with the government.
The government will furnish $14 to
wards each uniform, and each stu
dent will provide the remainder of
the cost, probably not more than $8
or $10. The men were required to
make a deposit of $5 on the uniforms,
which must be in before noon today,
if their uniforms aro to be ordered.
The order was placed with the Mageo
Clothing company, of Lincoln, and
the deposit should he made at that
store.
The regulation cadet uniform will
consist of a cap, blouse (coat),
trousers, leggings and shoes. Be
sides these necessary items, many
students ordered either flannel or
woolen shirts, in the regulation de
sign and color, and the regulation
web belt. The student purchasing
these articles of course had to pay
extra.
Uniforms Necessary for R. O. T. C.
It is imperative that these uniforms
be here before the beginning of the
semester, to comply with the agree
ment with the government whereby
this school is a member of the Re
serve Officers' Training corps. It is
for this reason that the mefasure
ments were taken in such a rush,
and such short notice given students
of the plans. The Magee company
has guaranteed to have the uniforms
here within the requirod time, and
Mr. Magee, of the firm, has gone on
ahead to New York, where the or
ders will be telegraphed to him, and
where he will personally superintend
the direct placing of the order with
the manufacturers.
No dissatisfaction over the plan
was noticed among students, beyond
the fact that a few of them were com
pelled to eat rather hasty evening
meals. A few demurred at first from
ordering the caps, instead of hats,
but when it was explained that that
was the ruling of government authori
ties on the subject, no further com
plaints were heard. On account of
the short notice given, several men
were seen holding whispered consul
tations with the salesmen," resulting
in the extending of credit till they
could write home for more funds, but
tho majority paid either in cash or
check last night.
At tho time of the meeting held to
determine whether the uniforms
should be purchased, it was decided
that the cadets should wear their uni
forms while attending school, to in
so far as is possible make up for all
extra expense undergone. This idea
has proved very popualr with tho
men, and next semester will see prac
tically the entire male students, at
tending classes and on the campus in
their cadet uniforms.
