pep was the keynote of the practice
ust night in preparation for the coni
ng mix withythe Drake Bulldogs
which is scheduled for Friday and Sat
urday of this week. The men are
working hara in anticipation of the
coming conflict, and every indication
is that the games will be of an excep
tionally high class caliber. The fact
that Drake has cancelled the other
two games that were scheduled with
her for March 11 and 12 is only adding
a zest to the Cornhusker crew to make
this series a grand and glorious slam
bang win, and bo show the Bulldogs
that Nebraska then so far outclassed
that they couldn't get near enough to
the Husker camp to even get a look
at the husks.
Drake for some time, has been try
ing to cancell two of their games, but
heretofore Coach Stewart has refused
to comply with their requests, owing
to the fact that he did not wish to
reorganize the whole Lincoln sched
ule. So, as a result the two games
at the Armory Friday and Saturday
will be played as was originally
planned, even if the Drake doggies
have refused to allow us to come over
to their town and engage them .In a
little return match in the art of ball
tossing. And so, as matters stand at
present, the two games with the Kan
sas Fanners will end Nebraska's part
of the Missouri Valley mix up this
year, and the members of the squad
are Just; naturally stung out of a per
fectly good trip to the Iowa metropo
lis. Will Not Affect Valley Standing
However, the cancelling of these
two games with Drake will not In
any way effect the possible outcome of
the Missouri valley race. Granting
that the team comes through with a
clean slate for the rest of the season.
Nebraska cannot hope to land at the
. top of the pile, but nevertheless a
couple of more games added on to the
credit side of the Cornhusker account
wouid not have come in very much
amiss.
There is no doubt but that Drake
will put up a mighty good fight of
it. She has one Hawley who was
an all-state man last year and who is
reckoned as one of the best guards In
the conference. He has speed and
ability and it was mainly through his
basket-shooting that the Kansas Ag
gies were held down to as low a score
as they were.
Doc Stewart has been working the
team hard during the practices this
week and all the men will be in the
pink of condition when the starting
whistle blows for the fray. Every
loyal Husker rooter is going to be out
with his best rooting lung in A-l
working order and help to show up
the Des Moines canines, to the limit.

LINCOLN HIM FAVORITE
Comparative Scores Give Local Lads
Slight Odds Over Omaha
Five
Plans for a record-smashing basket-j
ball tournament are now rapidly near
ing completion. Doc Stewart, who is
engineering the affair announces that
at the present time, it things keep
coming along as well in the next few
days as they have in the past, there
Is no doubt but that it will far exceed
anything ever attempted before.
The dopesters have been trying for
some time to pick the probable win
ners In the various classes. In Class
A Lincoln and Omaha seem to be the
prime favorites, with the odds on the
Lincolinites. Omaha and Lincoln
have played two games so far this
year and each took one. But the
Lincoln bunch beat the freshmen in
a praltile game Thursday afternoon,
by a score of 2216 while the fresh
men trimmed up the Big Town lads
last week, 27 to 13. Since Beatrice,
who usually makes a bid for the
championship, is out of the game be
cause the members of the team re
fused to obey training rules, the Lin
coln five stands a pretty good chance
of winning unless some dark horse
from out in the state comes to the
front.
In the lower classes very little can
be determined in" advance. All the
teams are running a nip and tuck
race and there are sure to be plenty of
thrills for the gallery.
UPPERCLASSMEN MUST
COMPLETE PAYMENT ON
CORNHUSKER PICTURES
Seniors and juniors who have
had pictures taken at Town
send's for the Cornhusker should
make arrangements at once for
completing their payment on the
pictures if they have not already
don so. Many upperclassmen
have had their pictures taken
but have neglected either to turn
in the proofs or to complete pay
ment. Such payment must be
made by Tuesday. A complete
list of those who have had pic
tures taken but have not made
such arrangements will be run
in The Nebraskan Tuesday, in
order that a final warning may
be given. Sophomore indi
vidual pictures should be taken
by next Friday.
Regulation intercollegiate wrestling
rules will govern the tournament, and
the winner will be determined by the
elimination process. Partners are to
be drawn on the day of the meet. Each
match will be of six minutes duration,
the winner to be decided by decision
or fall. Dr. R. G. Clapp and Ralph
Anderson have been secured as
referees.
Six silver medals, donated by the
College Book store are to be awarded
to the champion of each class. The
winners will also receive a "Nebraska
Wrestling Team" monogram.
The tournament has been classified
into six-classes. They are feather,
light. welter, light-heavy, and
heavy weight classes. I' there are any
other men who wish to participate
in any of the classes, they should see
Otoupolik at once.
Washington
The department of Journalism in
Washington State University has been
changed to a school of journalism, by
vote of the board of regents. This
will enable students entering from
high school to select those subjects
which will prove most useful in
journalistic work.

gram Most Complete In History
of Nebraska's Greatest Event
Tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock
the doors of the cUy Auditorium will
be thrown open upon one of the
peppiest . University Nights ever
utappd. University Night was innti
tuted at the University about eight
years ago. It has been a great suc
cess every year, but this year is prom
ises to be the most novel event of the
school year. Everything is in readi
ness and there will be something do
ing every minute from the time you
enter until you leave. The sale of
tickets has far out-numbered that of
former years and the Auditorium will
probably be packed to the roof.
"The Shun" will be distributed at
the door. This paper promises to
contain eome of the choicest and
rarest scandal that can be found on
the campus. In fact, the humor that
it contains will so far out-shadow the
A we wan iokes that they will no longer
be considered as such. The Shun staff
working under Mr. I. Gifa Damm have
bppn hidine in ever corner in an ef
fort to pick the best scandal about
school. If your best friends have an
Interest in the Shun, don't be surprised
to hear that they have betrayed some
of your hobbies, for no stone has been
left unturned to make the paper a
success.
Will Be Rough on Auditorium
If the city of Lincoln ever planned
to build a new Auditorium, they will
probably have a chance to think about
It aeftln when the mist Is cleared away
tomorrow night. According to all dope
given out so far, the old building is
eolne to fairly rock when the fun be
gins. Along with the merriment, there
will be a couple of little acts some
what more serious for the less Jovil
folks, but these will only be long
enough to lessen the tension of the
laughter.
The most efficient entertainers in
the University will be there. The in
dividual stars will be Gwynne Fowler
and Betty Brown. Their 6hare of the
program will consist of an act that

hit of the evening is to be the comic
Pre-Medlcs. When they get started,
they forget they ever expect to be
doctors and make their audience tninK
that medlcino is the most enjoyable
course in school.
The University band,, the Dramatic
club, the laws, and the military de

nlshing entertainment for the evening.
Finally, the engineers will stage a lit
tle act entitled "A. Y. M. C. A. camp

Tickets Went Fast
Although a grat deal of expense la
entailed for the use of the Auditorium,
the properties and the hauling, it is
expected that the affair will be a
financial success on account of the big
seat sale. Practically no complimen
tary tickets are being given out and
the house is about sold out. A few
tickets can still be obtained at the
low price of fifteen cents. Any one
who feels that he has not received full
value for the price will probably be
mobbed if he dares say anything abodt

part of the program.
Everything will be keyed up to the
highest pitch when gong is sounded,
and then every effort will be turned to
making it one of the liveliest evenings
ever lived during the short lives of
the University students. Even the
faculty promise to depart from their
usual dignity and partake of the gay
festivities. Everyone must be out on
time tomorrow evening. Bring your
best girl with you if you are afraid
to come alone. Step up, walk up, roll
up, or ride up, any way to get down

expected to attend.

Prospects increase every day for
exciting games in the girls' inter-class
basketball tournament which will be
played Saturday, March 2, from 9 to
12 o'clock in the Armory. No admis
sion win be charged. From the qual
ity of playing done in the two former
tournaments, the inter-sorority and the
Rainbow, it is safe to say that Satur
day's games will excell all previous
ones.
Co-ed basketball this year is far
above the standard of other years.
