flM nf the most successful parties
of the year was the carnival held Irx
the Armory Saturday night. About (
Mven hundred students and faculty
members were present and spent
more of their time trying their luck

covered a few "pro-Germans" and
others whose conscience was not as
clear as it might have been. This
wonderful stick Is a wand the qual
ities of which were discovered by
Dean Engberg. its originator.
Pressor E. J. LeRosslgnol was
the auctioneer and sold many ar
ticles among which were a ukelelej
which brought five dollars, pounas
and pounds of candy and a sweater.
Tickets to the various theatres were
raffled off by the girls.
Fish Pond Popular Feature
The fish pond was one of the most
popular features. Everything from
"fish food" to candy and handbags
was caught by those who fished.
Both students and down town mer
chants had been generous in their
dontaions so that there were plenty
of articles and no one who fished
complained that he couldn't get a
"bite." As one . person said, "an ice
cream cone was included in the tic
ket," but that didn't prevent Ihe
ice-cream booths from being very
popular during the whole evening.
About 11 o'clock Hugo Otoupalik,
who was here from Ft. Des Moines,
told the merrk-makers how glad the
boys were that we were thinking of
their comfort and said that although

$100 FOR ATHLETICS

at Work in Training Quarters
Innocents Conduct Campaign
The men in the uniforms do not fall
to appreciate the few and we might
nay the minor things we do for them
when done in the proper spirit. The
Camp Cody men, especially former
students at the Univer iy take the
small donation of the Nebraska stu
dents, their former classmates toward
the "bat and ball" fund as an evidence
of patriotism and have sent a letter
of appreciation to the Innocents who
conducted the "tag day" campaign for
that purpose. In this campaign $100
was raised and forwarded to the Camp
Cody boys for the purpose of buying
bats, baseballs and other athletic
equipment.
Katharine Newbranch had charge
of the girls' committee that solicited
the students on the campus for dona
tions. Fifteen girls took part in the
work.
Following Is a letter written by A. P. I
Blockson. general N. A. commanding.
to the president of the Innocents upon
receiving the contribution:
"President of the Innocents,
State University of Nebraska,
Lincoln, Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
Our division athletic officer informs
me that he is In receipt of a contribu
tion for the athletic fund of this divi
sion; the result of a "tag day" at the
University of Nebraska, managed by
a committee from the Innocents.
I wish to assure you that this evi
dence of loyalty, on the part of this
club, and the students of the Univer
sity Is appreciated, and that this dona
tion will be utilized to the best advan
tage by the officers in charge of ath
letics in the division. Athletics have
a part in our system of training, in
the different forms, it furnishes diver
sion, develops initiative, and promotes
lonrtorshln: essentials in the develop
ment and training of an army. So I
thank the Innocents, and all those con
cerned, for this gift, and assure you
that the spirit in which it was given
is appreciated to the fullest extent.

Relay Teams In Good Form
This afternoon the Cornhusker cin

the final round of the elimination con
tests which will determine who of the
squad will make the trip to the big
relay carnival at Des Moines Satur
day. Three tryouts for places on the
team have betn held in the past two
weeks and the men are in the best of
condition for the final tests today.
The events will be held on the athletic
field beginning at 4 o'clock and will in
all probability be over with by 4:45
or 5 o'clock at the latest.
The men will try for places on the
four big relay reams, the half mile, the
mile, the two mile and the four mile,
and from the present indications there
should be close contests in at least
the first three of these. This is espe
cially true of the mile team. In the

Drove a hard nut for any school to
crack and the same is true of the half
mile event.
Need Men for Four Mile
The only one that is giving Coach
Stewart much worry is the four mile
relay. So far Nebraska has but three
available men who could enter and
the prospects are not the brightest for
the fourth turning up at the last mo
ment. Graf and Kretzler are both of
them fast on the mile and Byron Mc
Mahon could run it if necessary but
what to do for another man to fill
the gap in the team is the problem.
However, there are several men work
nr fm- this and it is possible that one
of theu may develop before the team
leaves the last of the week. ur.
Stewart says that if there is any man
who can run the mile in around 4:50
he stands a pretty good chance of
going on the trip, as Nebraska has
a four mile team entered and it is
desirable to send one to the meet if
it is at all possible.

Abha Tau Omega won the interfra-
ternlty baseball championship Sunday,
shutting out Sigma Alpha Epsilon by
the score of 1 to 0 in the hardest-
fnnirhf and closest came of the tourna
ment. It was a pitchers battle from
the start between Peterson ana ucnei-
lenberg. with the latter having the
edge on his opponent.
Schellenberg. the A. T. o. speea
dpmnn. nltched a no-hlt. no-run game;
while his support was perfect. He
held the Sig Alph's at his mercy at
all stages of the game and they spem
most of their time fanning the air.
Shelly put twelve of their sluggers out
by the strike out route and not a
man hit the ball outside the diamond.
Only two Sig Alphs saw first base and
not once during the game was there a
chance for them to score.
Bailey, the first man up for the
A. T. O.'s singled to leftfield, stole
second and advanced to third on New
man's sacrifice. With two men down
Bailey stole home on a squeeze play
for the only run of the game. In the
third and fifth innings the Alpha Tau's
filled the bases with hits by Newman,
Shaw and Schellenberg, but Vere un

Peterson pitched in excellent rorm,
striking out nine men and allowing
only six hits, but his support was
ragged, there being five errors credit
