TRICK FIVK CENTS
HUSKERS DETERMINED
TOVVIN CAAMPIONSHIP
Eyes Of Missouri Valley Confer,
ence Fixed on Cornhusker
Tiger Game.
Contest Tonight Makes or Breaks
Hopes For The Title
of Valley.
The arena is all set and when the
opening whistle blows at 7:30 tonight,
the two strongest basketball teams In
the Missouri Valley will meet la mor
tal combat. The arrogant, hungry
Tiger will then leap around the waxen
floor in the desperate attempt to
finally and forever slay every Corn
hunker hope for a championship. This
Tiger has devoured every combination
of basket tossers that has tried to stop
his victorious march and tonight he
will fight with all his cunning to dis
pose of his strongest contender for
the royal title "King of the Valley."
The eyes of the whole Missouri Val
ley Conference are concentrated
anxiously on the Cornhusker-Tiger
fight this evening. The two teams are
undoubtedly the strongest in the val
ley and their clash will be decisive.
The Cornhuskers need both games to
get within fighting distance of the
pennant while the Tigers will have a
strangle hold on the purple rag if they
win the set.
The fight tonight absolutely makes
or breaks championship hopes for this
season. The "dope" gives the edge
to the Tigers. They have won six
games and lost none while Dr. Stew
art's men have won six and lost two.
Missouri leads the conference in the
total number of points scored this
season with 226. Nebraska is second
with 186. Captain Jackson of the
Cornhuskers and Vogt of the Tigers
are tied for the honor of shooting the
most floor goals, each having thirty to
his credit. Scott of Missouri leads
the conference in individual scoring
with 73 points. Captain Jackson is
second with 69. The dope therefore
shows the Tigers and the Cornhusk
ers as the two strongest teams in the
Valley, Missouri having the advant
age. Whether or not the dope proves to
be correc t depends largely upon the
suppjrt given the home team. If every
loyal Cornhusker is out in the gym
at 7:30 tonight, giving the deefenders
of the scarlet and cream their every
ounce of enthusiasm, the big advant
age on the side of the Tigers may be
overbalanced.
Social functions need not interfere
ith the attendance. The game will
end at 8:30 sharp, and those who do
not care about the mixer may wend
their various ways. The game between
the freshmen and the Armstrong team
W'H begin at 6:15. The admission
has be.'ix reduced and 35 cents admits
any student to the preliminary, the
main event, and the mixer.
Coach Jonse of Grinnell will referee.

WRESTLING TEAM CHOSEN
TO REPRESENT NEBRASKA
Grapplers To Undergo Intensive
Training Before They
Meet Ames
The men who will represent Ne
braska in the Ames wrestling meet,
February 21, with one or two excep
tions have now been picked. Troend
ly won out easily in the 125-pound
class, although there is a possibility
of Salter representing this class and
moving Troendly Into the 135. Burley
is the probable representative in the
145 pounders. The 158-pound repre
sentative has not yet been chosen.
Fuchs won his match with Sandstedt
by two straight falls and will meet
Gibbs tonight for the final decision.
The finals Thursdayydecided that Hoyt
would be the heavyweight man. The
175-pound representative has not been
chosen, but it will lie between Dobson
and Pickwell.
The above men have a hard contest
ahead of them. Dr. Clapp, who ref-
ereed the Ames-Iowa meet a week ago,
says the Iowa Aggies have an extra
strong team. They won from Iowa
State , 26-14, and according to Dr.
Clapp it was the fastest intercollegiate
wrestling tournament he ever wit
nessed. Four out of the six bouts
were won on falls and only two by de
cision. Every match but one was a
fast round of fierce aggressive fighting
and clean throughout. The meet
showed that the quality and standard
of Intercollegiate wrestling has under
gone a remarkable Improvement. Dr.
Clapp is trying to schedule a big
wrestling tournament for Cornhusker
ville. The Husker wrestling team will un
dergo a period of intensive training
before the Ames contest next Friday
night. The Aggies have four experi
enced men to pit against the Corn
huskers. Lockling in the 135-pound
class, Thompson in the 145, Schalk in
the 175, and Breeden in the heavy
have proved their prowess in former
contests, while the Huskers will be
handicapped by a more or less fresh
team. Schalk Is the man whom
Outpaulik failed to throw and conse
quently will be a mean man to handle.
The contest at Ames next Friday
night will give Cornhusker fans a good
line-up on wrestling hopes.

DAY CELEBRATION
University Will Not Hold Public
Midwinter Commencement
This Year.
Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa
Address Scheduled for
Later Date.
The Charter Day celebration which
was planned for tomorrow has been
postponed until the spring commence
ment next May. Coincident with this
occasion, the twenty-third annual mid
winter commencement has been can
celled at the decision reached by the
Board of Regents some time ago.
Saturday marks the fiftieth anni
versary of the granting of the charter
by the state to the University of Ne
braska. It was the plan of the uni
versity officials to celebrate the oc
casion on an elaborate scale, but due
to the various obstacles that have con
fronted the institution, it was decided
to hold the anniversary next May.
The mid-winter graduating class is
not as large as those of previous
years. Mars with his mighty sword
has been responsible for the decrease
in the size of the class. A number
of prospective graduates are still in
the service of Uncle Sam. It is the
intention of a number of men to re
sume their studies as soon as possible
with the view of participating in the
exercises next spring.
The address before the Sigma Xi
and Phi Beta Kappa scheduled for
this evening has also been postponed
to a later "date.-

We Can Have Oar Pictures in
The Cornhusker, But Shall We?
There is a growing tendency among
university students to place their or
ganization before their college. This
spirit has been shown to a greater de
gree than ever this year by the way
in which the juniors and seniors have
failed to respond to the request of the
Cornhusker staff for a complete repre
sentation in the regular section of the
year-book.
Many men and women have felt
that in appearing with their organiza
tion they have done all that can be
expected of them and for that reason
they have failed to have their pictures
taken for their class section. Others
have not though upon the matter at
all or have been too indifferent to do
their part for the annual.
If Nebraska is to be a first-class
educational unit every student en
rolled should be thoroughly loyal to
his college first of all and to each in
dividual unit afterwards. The suc
cess of every college movement should
call forth the interest and co-opera
tion of all real Cornhuskers. The lack

of interest shown by the juniors and
seniors in the matter of pictures for
the Victory Annual points to a lack of
the real spirit of loyalty that should
prompt men and women as a whole,
where their college is concerned.
The year-book staff has earnestly
requested the men who have returned
from the service to get their pictures
in the proper section of the annual
and it is more than certain that those
who have answered their country's
call will do their duty by their college.
This week has been granted these
men for the purpose of having their
pictures taken and this section of the
book will be delayed one more week.
It is possible that some of the juniors
and seniors who have failed to have
their pictures taken will be able to
do so this week without inconvenienc
ing these men too much.
It may be of interest to these stu
dents to know that out of eight hun
dred enrolled in these two classes
but three hundred and fifty have had
their pictures taken for this section.
TWO CO EDS ENTER
SENIOR CLASS RACE
Mary Helen AUensworth and
Katharine Newbranch File
For Presidency.
Filings Close at Five O'clock To-
Day. Eleven Candidates
Compete for Honors
The second semester political cam
paign lost some of its apparent dull-
ness yesterday with the announce
ment that two co-eds would enter the
race for senior presidency. They are
Mary Helen AUensworth, of Lincoln,
and Katharine Newbranch, of Omaha.
Dwight KIrsch, of Lincoln, will not
be a candidate. Harvey M. Johason,
of Fremont, has filed for the position
of Ivy Day orator.
The registration closes at 5 o'clock
this afternoon and all who Intend to
get Into the election scrimmage must
file their applications with the regis
trar before that time. None, other
than the original candidates, have
made their appearance in the other
classes. The only other office con
tested is the presidency of the fresh
man class.
The election will be held next Tues
day, the polls being open from 9 to
12 o'clock in the morning and from 2
to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The
west end of the Armory will be used
for the voting place and the vote of
each student will be carefully checked
as usual.
Eleven Candidate File
Eleven candidates have filed so far,
with the only competition, which has
developed, in the senior and freshman
classes. These two races promise to
lend interest and excitement to the
campaign. Other students may pos
sibly come out for political honors at
the last moment, but no names have
been mentioned in this connection. -
Katharine Newbranch and Mary
Helen AUensworth, who are seeking
the senior class presidency, have both
been prominent in class affairs. The
entrance of two co-eds into the same
field is an unusual feature of the elec
tion this year. The position of Ivy
Day orator, one of the honors be
stowed by the senior class, also, is
seldom handed down without some
rivalry. Harvey Johnson, a senior in
the Law College, is the only one after
the job at present.
In the junior and sophomore classes
the race appears to be lifeless with
but a single filing for each office which
members of these classes vote upon.
Floyd Stone is now the only one aspir
ing to head the junior class and the
position of editor-in-chief of the Corn
husker which by precedent goes to
the junior managing editor will suc
ceed to Harold Gerhart.
In the sophomore class Jess Patty
is alone in the field for class president,
George Newton is running for junior
managing editor of the Cornhusker
and Frank Patty has filed for business
manager.
Three candidates are fighting among
themselves, in what promises to be
an evenly divided contest, for the hon
ors of the freshman class. Kenneth
Hawkins, Harry Stephens, and Mary
Sheldon are conducting vigorous cam
paigns. REGENTS MEET SATURDAY
TO DECIDE ON DEGREES
The regents will meet Saturday aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock at the Chancellor's
office to pass on granting the degrees
to -the students who graduated last
semester.
