First Valley Game of Season
Ends in 44-to-17 Score
HUSKERSLACK EXPERIENCE
Schellenberfl and Jackson Star Team
Plays Tiger Tonight and Tomorrow
Night Remaining Garnet at Home
The first venture of the University
of Nebraska's inexperienced basket
ball team into Missouri Valley circles
nded disastrously, when Washing
ton university drubbed the Huskers In
Wednesday night's game at St. Louis
by a score of 44 to 17.
Although the score was lop-sided
the game was no walk-away, and the
Nebraskans lived up to their promise
that they would fight till the last
whistle. There were small hopes of
wlnnine from the minute the two
teams appeared on the floor. The St,
Louis aggregation was much the heav
ier, and had the advantage of being
made up of players who had had long
piDerience in the game. The inex
perience of the Cornhuskers was un
doubtedly the chief factor in their de
feat. They were not self-confident or
experienced enough to work their own
plays effectively, and could not see
through the masked plays of the
Washingtonians in time to prevent
disaster. Schellenberg and Jackson
played the best games for Nebraska.
Tonight the team will play the first
game of a two-game series with the
University of Missouri at Columbus,
Mo. The Tigers have a team that Is
even stronger than Washington, and
so far have been looking like winners
in the conference for this year. There
is small chance for a Nebraska victory
in these two games, unless the 'team
shows a great lot of improvement.
These will be the last games of the
season to be played away from home,
These are probably the two hardest
teams that the Huskers will be called
upon to face this year. Therefore the
team is thought to have a good chance
of winning most of the remaining
games on the schedule.
The Line-Up
The line-up for the game with Wash
Ington was as follows:
Nebraska Pos. Washington
Jackson ........ .rf. ...... . Duncker

CALL FIRST PRACTICE
FOR HEW ORCHESTRA
Meet Tomorrow at 10 O'clock
Is Being Organized by
Prof. Herbert Grummann
The first practice of the new Uni
versity orchestra, which is beiag or
ganized by Professor Grummann, will
be held tomorrow from 10 to 2 o'clock
After the first of March an evening
Practice will be held once each week
In addition to the regular Saturday
meetings.
Mr. Quick is to be the leader of the
orchestra, and it Is his request that
every one who is interested in the new
organization, and who might wish to
join the same, hand in their names to
day to Professor Grummann in the
Library building.
Nebraska is at present the only uni
versity in this part of the country
that does not boast of an orchestra.
Kansas, Iowa and Missouri all have
such organizations, and have done
Saod work along this line. About fif
teen students have already expressed
a desire to Join the orchestra, but it is
the wish of Professor Grummann that
two or three times that number will
report. For further information about
the new work, all (Undents are asked
to Fpeak to Professor Grummann.
WAR SAYINGS DRIVE
WILL CLOSE TODAY
"Baby Bonds" Will Be Impor
tant Factor in Win
ning War
NOW COST $4.13 APIECE
Pay Nearly A'2 Per Cent Interest
200 Students Form Campaigning
Committee to Se'l Stamps
The big drive in the interest of the
war savings which has been carried
on in all earnestness since the first of
the week will close today noon. It is
expected that every student in the
University will have purchased a
thrift Btamp.
War savings stamps come within the
reach of everybody. Where It re
quires $50 to buy a liberty bond, it
requires $4.13 to purchase a war sav
ings stamp and 25 cents to buy
thrift stamp. With the purchase of
the first war savings stamp you are
presented with a war savings cer
tiflcate. Lick the stamp, place it on
the certificate, and you have helped
lick the kaiser.
When you buy the first thrift stamp
you are given a thrift card. Put these
together and keep adding 25-cent thrift
stamps until the card is filled with
sixteen of these stamps. Then it can
be exchanged for a war savings stamp
upon payment of the difference be
tween $4.00 and the price of e war
savings stamp.
The war savings stamp which sells
for $4.13 this month is redeemable in
cash, but a thrift stamp is not. It is
pointed out by the treasury depart
rnent that thrift stamps are not made
redeemable for the reason that these
stamps are simply intended as a con'
venient method for the small savers
to accumulate enough to purchase war
savings stamps, which bear Interest
and are redeemable in cash.
WiJI Economize Thrift
The government expects to raise
two billion dollars within a year by
the sale of these stamps. Thus it can
be seen that these "Baby Bonds" are
playing an important part In financing
the war. But of greater importance
than this is the fact that they will
encourage thrift in this country. Each
person buying a stamp is impressed
with the idea of thrift and saving and
it is expected by the government that
this will result in relieving much of
the pressure upon the industries of the
country and will make it possible for
them to turn more attention and aid
toward the carrying on of the war.
Factories will be able to increase their
war output and this will be one of the
largest factors in helping to win the
war.
Under the direction of Prof. R. D.
Scott, a permanent committee of 200
has been formed for the purpose of
patriotic campaigning for liberty
bonds, Red Cross, Red Triangle and
all other branches of war work. The
committee consists of 100 boys and
100 girls under the direction of twenty
captains. Walter Johnson Is over
seeing the solicitation of all the boys
and Marion Hall of the girls, 'ine
committee aims to see every student
on the city campus in regard to sub
scribing for the war saving.
On account of the fact that this Is
the beginning of the second semester,
many addresses are not correct and
many of the new students do not have
cards. Those, who for this reason are
not solicited, should consider it their
patriotic duty to buy them at T. A.
Williams' office, where they will be on
sale.
A
n Original Song of Springtime
By the Staff
Spring has come. We have all the
evidences of this ract. me usuai
phenomena of spring were missing but
the campus yesterday was crowded
with evidences its advent.
What is the first thing that struck
you as you walked in at the Eleventh
street entrance? Was it the fact that
the snow was almost all gone? Surely
not. it must have been the sorority
belles that had blossomed forth so
suddenly on the Library steps. Or
was It the gay birdies who were scat
tered about on the campus benches do
,nr boot tn Vpn comfortable?
What was it that you noticed when
you walked Into your room yesterday?
Was it not the atmosphere of laziness
and sleepiness that dominated every
one? Even the professors were so

rooms that they ventured to dismiss
their classes on time.
Yes. but we cannot forget the "fus
sers."They were busy again. The
campus and the nearby streets were
lined with couples who nought pleas
ures outside of the shows. We sur
mise that they have decided to econ
omize. This early touch of spring does not
seem to be in accordance with the
tradition about the ground-hog. Last
Saturday was ground-hog's day and the
sun was shining brightly. The only
way that we c&u dope It cut Is that
being as Saturday was meatless day,
Mr. Ground-hog did not come at his
usual time but is making his presence
known now. At any rate, we hope that
spring has come to stay.

New Social Science Building
to Be Best Structure
on Campus
One of the most Important of the.
plans for the enlargement of the Uni
versity campus will be formally be
eun tomorrow when the corner stone
of the new Solial Srience building will
be laid. The ceremonies will start at
10 o'clock.
The ceremonies will be of rather an
Informal nature, but will be of wide
spread interest in University circles.
The departments that will occupy the
building will all be present, and the
usual program will be carried out.
Several short addresses will be made,
and documents from each of the de
partments will be placed In the stone.
The general student body and public
