REVENGE IS SWEET FOR HER GREW Take Count on Wesleyan Goal Tossers in Two Games FRESHMEN TROUNCE OMAHA Flr'it year Squad Hat Merry Time With Metropolis High School Rep resentatives In Preliminary Nebraska 18-24, Wesleyant 10-20 Revenge is sweet, so the old saying has it, and the Nebraska quintet of ball tossers certainly enjoyed it to the utmost- when they trimmed up the Wesleyan five in the two games last Friday and Saturday nights. The first game, played at Wesleyan, was won by a score of 18 to 10, while the last contest, staged at the Armory, came in to the tune of 24 to 20. The games were both of the pep factory type, each team scrapping to the utmost from the moment the starting whistle sounded until the last- second of play. Nebraska, however, clearly had the best of it, and not once was there any danger from the Coyotes' attack. Captain Jackson was easily the star of the affair, and it was his work and enthusiasm which pervaded the whole series and seemed to inspire the team to the highest fighting pitch. In the second tussle Thomas played an ex ceptionally good game, making sev eral spectacular goals and playing a wonderful guarding game against the big Wesleyan forward, Warren. For the Methodists, Warren was the big gest man on the team, making 14 of the 30 points scored by them in the series. Freshmen Rim Omaha The freshmen, not to be outdone by the Varsity five, trounced the Omaha Central high quintet, 27 to 13. Patty and Newman for the freshmen and Konecky and Paynter for Omaha prob ably did more than anyone else to contribute to the efforts of their re spective teams. The First Game Wesleyan started out the initia.1 round by scoring in the first few min utes of the play. Then ensued a rapid fire fight for some time neither team seeming able to get1 the ball into the basket for the coveted points. Soon Hubka broke through for a goal, and he was followed in close order by Thomas and Shellenberg and the whole affair capped by Jackson slip ping in four points before the Coyotes could get their breath. Things then steadied down aad the rest of the game became a close battle, the Corn busker having little trouble in main taining the lead gained. By way of varying the mohotomy of the thing, every man on the Nebraska team suc ceeded in registering some sort of a score. The line-up was: Nebraska Wesleyant Jackson (c rf Warren Shellenberg If Hinman Hubka c Carman Thomas rg Grove Spear lg Houser Summary.

NEBRASKA MAN LOSES LIFE IN SINKING OF TUSCANIA The first Nebraska man re ported to have lost his life in the sinking of the Tuscanla is W. W. Bennett a graduate of the University of Nebraska forestry department in the class of 1912. The name of Mr. Bennett u among the list of "missing" from the passenger list of the ship. Mr. Bennett after leaving tha University entered the govern ment forestry service and was employed for a time in the Ozark mountains and the Black Hills. When the war broke out he entered the 20th Regiment of Engineers which was made up of experienced foresters. This regiment was one of the dl vislnnR which sailed on tho ill fated vessel, Tuscanla, sunk near the Irish coast. Mr. Bennett's home was at Missoula, Mont. Warren, 3; Keester, 1. Substitutes Nebraska, Reynolds and Gerharl-; Wesleyan Keester and Tesch. Referee Jones, Grinnell. , Time of halves Twenty minutes. The Second Game The Becond game was played on the Nebraska floor and was easily the Cornhusker victory from the start, ending with a final score of 24 to 20. It was a rough affair from the begin ning and before long it seemed to be a sort of nip and tuck scrap to see which team could register the most fouls. Nebraska started out with a rush that nearly took the suburbanites off their feet. Largely through the ef forts of Captain Jackson, they gained a good substantial lead, and main tained it till the whistle sounded the recall. The first period ended with the score 13 to 7. Coach Kline must have landed on his men with both feet during the Intermission for they came back with a determination to win. It's a sad thing, however, when two perfectly respectable teams get it into their heads to go after the same thing for one of them must necessarily be sadly disappointed, and this time it happened to be the Coy otes, for although they fought- hard they could not make any material gain on the Husker bunch and the game ended 24-20 In Nebraska's favor.

Sheldon of the Nebraska Historical society Is to lecture before the Thursday Morning Lecture club on the subject "Early Nebraska His tory" In Bessey hall, Thursday morn ing at 11 o'clock. Sophomores Make To Call for The decinlon of the Cornhusker manaeement to allow the sophomores individual pictures in a section of their own in the 1918 Cornhusker has brought a hearty response from the second-year class and many have had their pictures taken in two days since the announcement was made. This is the first year in the history ot Nebraska Cornhuskers that this con cession has been made and as many of the men who are now sophomores will probably enter war service before next year it will be a valuable addi tion to the war number. The management realizing that the present year is one of the jnost im portant and memorable years of the University, is making effort to produce a complete record of every phase of the war activities as well as the regu lar student life.

No time limit has been set, as yet but it will probably be impossible to allow more than a week in which they may be taken. Arrangements have been made with Townsend for rapid handling and if the pictures are taken Immediately there will be but little delay on their account. More of the sophomore pictures will be placed on each page than those of the upper classes and the cuts will be smaller. For that reason the charge for the cuts will be only $1. No notices have been sent out to the Individual members of the class but it Is hoped that everyone will be represented.

The faculty members began at 8 o'clock to purchase their tickets and at 11 o'clock the students step for ward. The program will be the best in the history of the event and ticket sales promise to eclipse any that have gone before. The nine numbers will be given by the band, the University Players, the Pre-medics, the renowned comedians, Gwlnn Fowler and Betty Brown, the Engineers, the Dramatic club, the Laws, the Military depart ment and the Journalism sorority Theta Sigma Phi. A squad of ten or twelve huskies are to be engaged with chains and cables to hold the roof on the auditorium which will be in danger of sky-rocketing upward from the minute the cur tain runs up until It hits the stage with a thud at the end. It has been suggested by some members of the committee to install sound absorbers on all the doors and windows so that the city of Lincoln will not be dis turbed by the uproarous laughter and applause. The weather man has given his promise that he will withhold' all rain, snow, wind and cold on Satur day and he will have the moon's face polished brighter than over. Dan Cupid has also consented to help by tempting all the young men of the college to step out on March 2. Originated Eight Years Ago The University Night was originated eight years ago by the University Y. M. C. A. and has been produced with in creasine noDularity under its auspices each year. Its object is purely to give the University a good time and give the aspiring actors and comedians an opportunity to show their ability. For years It was run at a financial loss and not until 1917 did it even pay ex penses. The low admission price en ables everyone to attend and the money taken in is used to pay the rent of the auditorium and the expenses ot properties and hauling, etc. Comple mentaries are given only to members of the casts and even the committee men and Y. M. officials are refused free tickets. Chairmen of the various committes are Eleanor Fogg, Carl R. Carlson, Guy Henninger, Glenn Foe, D. Gilbert Eldredge, Phil Jones and Eva Miller. The Y. M. C. A. general committee is composed of Will Urbach, chairman; George D. Driver, G. L. Stone, Harold Long, Ray Cowen, Florence Bishop, Ruth Hutton and Theda Waterman. DARING CORNHUSKER ART IST IGNORES TRAFFIC AND AND THE ELEMENTS In spite of the rapidly-growing crowd, in spite of the chilly wind that roared around him, in spite of the fear that a police man would come along and ar rest him for obstructing traffic, Dwight turned up his collar so that only his nose showed, and drew on ("on" meaning on his water-color board).- The cold fact was this the prettiest complexioned artist in the U. of N. Dwight P. KIrsch was seat ed on a stool In the street at Eleventh and M sketching for the Cornhusker the view of Uni versity hall. He couldn't see from the top of the Star build ing, and he couldn't get on the top of the First National bank or Terminal building, so he set his little stool up, unfolded his easel and did '.ue full sketch pencil and Ink both in the midst ot cars, horses and bicycles. Un usual KIrsch is doing a series of sketches around the campus, also some page borders and a great deal of incidental decorat ing for this jvr'u CurnhuBEer.
