Prof. Blanch Grant Will Talk on
the Collection at 2 O'Clock
and at 8 O'clock Today
The Art Exhibit now being held
In the Library Is one of the most
Important that has been held at the
University. Although the pictures
re not framed In the heavy frames
used In the winter exhibit they are
nevertheless some of tho best pos
sible to obtain. Number G2, "Moon
light In the Adirondacks," is one of
four paintings by W. S. Bucklls.
Mr. Bucklin Is particularly known
for his use of high harmonious
colors. Number 44, "Autumn Sun
set." another of his pictures shows
a high rich light In the distance.
His other two paintings being ex
hibited are "Irrldescent Stream" and
"Edge of a Stream." Number 61,
"After the Bath," by Berroneau is
in the soft dim light, typical of the
style of Monet, the great French
painter.
Number 50, "Steady," is by
Asthaus, the famous American paint
er of dogs. Number 62, "Now for a
Double," i8 also a famous picture
of dogs. The painter is Rosseau
whose pictures are hung in nearly
every American gallery.
"At Monterey." "The High Tide,"
"The Whaler," and Breezy Day" are
four of William Rltschel's earlier pic
tures. Visitors to the gallery will
recall his "Irrldescent - Stream"
shown at . the winter exhibit.
Number 22, "Euchalyptus." is by
Ralph Davis Miller, son of Joquln
Miller, the poet.
Number 24, "In Ambush," is
painted by Irving Couse, foremost
painter of Indian life. Examples
of his work have been shown here
before.
"The Hampshire Hills" by Leon
ard Auchtman, is also being ex
hibited. The Nebraska Art Asso
ciation owns one of Mr. Auchtman's
earlier paintings.
Five paintings and one water
color by Eugene Mullertt are ex
hibited. Mullertt is a pupil of the
French masters and has also
studied under Israels. His paint
ings deal primarily with the life
of the Hollanders.
Of considerable Interest to the art
students are seven uncatalogued pic
tures, dealing with the story feature
of the old type of human interest
story.
Two pictures' and three water
colors by Arthur Fendel will be of
interest to those who have seen his
work in former exhibits.
Matilda Browne's "Midsummer" is
a striking example of good nature
study.

HUSKER ELIMINATED
AFTER FIRST ROUND
Troendley, Lightweight Grap
pler, Has Hard Luck at
Chicago Meet
H. P. Troendley, who went as Ne
braska's representative to the na
tional amateur wrestling tournament
which was held at Chicago last
Friday, met with i lot of hard luck
in the affair, and was eliminated
after but one contest. Troendley
drew a bye in the first round and
in the second round was matched
against a Greek by the name of
Felions from the Greek Athletic
club of Chicago. The match was
fast and. well-fought and Felions
won only by a decision after ten
minutes of hard work. That Troenu
ley was not matched against an
easy man la evidenced by the fact
that his opponent won second place
in the tournament in the 125 pound
class, and was only defeated by a
man ' name Mohelsel, who la con
sidered a whirlwind of a wrestler.
Troendley went from Chicago to
uary, ina., wnera un w "--
the Bteel factories and smelters, and
is expected to return to Lincoln
within a day or so.
National Secretary to
Talk at Men's Meeting
W. II. Tinker, a man of national
reputation will talk at the men's
meeting in the Y. M. C. A. rooms
In the Temple. Mr. Tinker Is a
man full of messages for men. It
is hoped that there will be a Urge
turnout to this meeting tonight at
7 o'clock.
This meeting comes as the climax
of the many meetings held In the
Y. M. C. A. this year. Although
many students have nob realized
what they have been missing by not
attending these meetings, on the
other hand there are many who do
realize their worth and are regular
attendants. This opportunity may
never come again to this school. It'
Is hoped to make mis meeting noi
only the biggest in numbers but
the best in pep and interest. The
slogan for these meetings Is "Come
and Bring a Pal."

the Inter-fraternity baseball tourna
ment yesterday, by defeating Phi

brand of base stealing, ile stole
second,' third and home, a feat very
Reldom accomplished.

rush and pushed two Bcores over the
plate, when Thorpe singled and Kel
logg chased him in, by knocking a
tnto deen center. The
I Kappa Sig's located Wright in the
' third inning and pounded him to all
corners of the lot. Tooie, cngni.
and Oir walked, filling the bases,
and Hanson cleaned the bags with
a Texas homer to the bleachers.
Drnra h Karma Sie advance had
I been halted, they had annexed seven
runs.. The Phi fsia came rusui
back and pounded out eight runs
and the lead, which they maintained,
until the unlucky seventh. In the
last half of the ninth, Oir walked
and Brown brought him home, with
a smashing double, for the winning
! score of the game.

SAYS FREE PRESS IS
MENACED BY GERMANS
Journal Editor Speaks at
Convocation -Eplains As
sociated Press System
We should be willing to fight this
war if for no other reason than
that if we don't, Germany will de
stroy our free press as she has her
own. The German press is ruled by
the Krupps and the government,
and diseminates much that is both
false and poisonous. This was the
message of Mr. Will Owen Jones,
editor of the Nebraska State Journal
at Convocation yesterday morning.
Mr. Jones explained the workings
of the Associated Press. He illus
trated the various steps and the
immense staff required to accom
plish this monstrous work with
stereoptican views.
The Associated Press is not a
commercial undertaking as was the
United Press, but is run on a co
operative plan by which all of the
members send in all of the news in
their territory and receive all of in
terest from the other territories.
All of the expenses of the associa
tion are "paid by the papers on a
scale according to their circulation
and the population. It is obvious
that the news received and sent out
will be in accordance with the
wishes of the reading public.
The way In which the story from
the first "flash" 'to the bulletin and
finally the complete story Is sent
over leased wires to all parts of the
continent in a very short time made
a fascinating story.

until the end of the year it was
thought best to make the change.
One of . the members of the library
force is leaving . thi3 week for gov
ernment service at Washington.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR DRAKE MEET
Competition Keen for Every
Place on Team
STILL NEED FOR MILERS
McMahon the Choice for Hundred
Yard Dash Finney, Grau, Graf,
Townsend and Kretzler In Trim
Nebraska's cinder path artists
staged the final tryouts yesterday
afternoon for the team which will
make the trip the Des Moines this
week. A large number of men were
out to contest for the places on the
various relay teams, and the com
petition in each event was of the
keenest sort. No records were
broken, however, and the men
seemed content to win and save all
of their surplus energy for the
crucial test next Saturday. Harold
McMahon, who is to enter the in
vitation 100-yard dash against some
of the classiest sprinters of the
country, did not run in any but the
century run, and even there did not
overdo himself, winning with a 10:2-5
time. Finney was an easy victor in
the 220 dash, while Grau won in
tho 400-yard run making the dis
tance In 47 seconds flat. Uryon
McMahon. who is considered the
best quarter miler that Nebraska
has, was not out last night and
will have to run against time to
night in order to qualify for that
race.
In the mile the question of who
will be the fourth man on the team
is still somewhat a matter of con
lecture. B. McMahon.- Graf and
Kretzler are certain of places, but
what to do for tne otner man nas
been a matter that has given Coach
Stewart considerable worry for the
last few weeks. There are several
men who are out for the place, but
unless a man is able to make the
mile in something better than 4:50
there is little use in sending a four
mile relay team to Des Moines. Eller
bach and Davis are both showing
up pretty well, and Hansen is also
a possible candidate for the posi
tion, but as yet Dr. Stewart has not
announced whether or not any of
these men would be sent.
Freshmen Showing Up Well
The freshmen out on the track
squad are making a very respectable
Rhnwiner this year and if they are
all here for next season Nebraska
should turn out a mighty good track
team. Danforth, who was the star
of the Omaha high school team last
year, is making a nespecially good
showing and if it were not for the
eligibility rule which forbids the run
ning of freshmen, he would undoubt
edly make the varsity team this
year.
A summary of the results of yes
terday's tryouts follows:,
100-yard dash. Time 20.2 seconds.
H. McMahon, first; Danforth, sec
ond; Meegan. L. H. S., third;
Rhodes, fourth.
220-yard dash. Time 24 seconds.
Finney, first; Townsend, second;
Grau, third; Schellenberg. fourth.
400-yard dash. Time 47 seconds.
Grau. first; Townsend, second;
Yort, third; Bryans, fourth.
Mile run. Time 4 minutes, 44
seconds.
Graf, first; Kretzler, second; Eller
bach, third; Davis, fourth.
