Two Home Contests.
The Cornhuskers now occupy sicond

while the Kansas Aggies top the
list with Ave victories and no defeats.
Nebraska has a hard, rough road to
travil toward pennant vllle. four of the
six remaining games being in hostile
territory.
The decisive way In which the Stew
art basketball machine twisted the Ti
ger's tail last week proves that a se
rious pennant contender has arisen
in the Cornhusker camp. In four suc
cessive games the Scarlet and Cream
five has downed the Piker and the
Tiger contenders and is now ready
for the final leap to the top. A glance
at the Valley standing will reveal,
however, that the finish of the season
will be a whirlwind affair and that
one of the four teams may emerge
from the dust of battle bearing the
purple rag.

The race mainly lies between the
three leaders, altho Grinnell is in the
running. The indications all point to
a last minute decision. The Corn
huskers next games will be with Kan
sas at Lawrence. March 5th and 6th.
These two games should prove easy
picking, but on the two following ev
enings, March 7th and 8th, the Husk
ers proceed to Manhattan and will be
put to the supreme test. Never in
Cornhusker history has the Aggie five
been whipped on their own floor and
they will meet Nebraska with an un
smirched record. Let them beware,
however for both the Pikers and Ti
gers met Dr. Stewart's men in the
same condition and went home with a
big deficit in the percentage column.
These two games with the Kansas far
mers should prove the deciding factor
in the Cornhusker race, but on the
week following, March 14 and 15, Mis
souri and the Aggies clash at Colum
bia, so a heavy mist hangs over the
home stretch.
Stewart Praises Student Support
The wonderful way the Cornhuskers
have vanquished the invaders of the
home soil seems to have stirred the
followers of the Scarlet and Cream to
the depths. Dr. Stewart and the team
are enthuiastlc In their tribute to the
loyal wholehearted support of the stu
dent body. They are firmly convinced
that the second game with Washing
ton and the second game with Missouri
would have been lost but for the life
injected into the struggling warriors
from the bleachers. Those who wit
nessed the great battle last Saturday
will never forget the thrilling finish.
At the critical moment the spontane
ous combustion of the Joyous specta
tors seemed to envelop the team,
pushing the weary fighters to a su
preme final effort which bagged the
winning goal Coach Stewart said:
"That wonderful display of spirit did
the work." If Nebraska wins the pen
nant, the student body may feel a Just
Pride in their share of the achievement

GATHERING; MEMORIALS
FOR SEMI-CENTENNIAL
The Alumni committee consisting
of MeBdumes A. O. Warner, M. P.
Knotts, and Miss A. C. Hunter ap
pointed by the faculty of the univer
sity to provide for an exhibition of
university memorials and relics for
the renii-centennlal to be held this
spring is arranging for a bibliography
of all publications by members of the
faculty and the students. -It is not
expoceted that this will be confined
(o thoBe who have worked in Univer
sity Hall but will be extended to in
clude all who have been associated
with the school during these fifty
years. A sub-committee consisting of
Prof. Lawrence Fossler, Mrs. A. W.
Field, nnd Miss Mary Tremaln have
been named and consented to work
up relics for the exhibition from the
first ten years of the institution, I. e.
from 1878 to 1883 inclusive.
SOPHOMORE PICTURES HI
CORNHUSKER THIS YEAR
Limited Number of Second Year
Students May Have Photo
graphs in Year Book.
Sophomores are to have their pic
tures in the Cornhusker if they so
desire, because members of the Sen
ior and Juniors failed to have their
pictures taken in time for the book
and because of the decrease in the
registration in these classes the 2nd
semester, the number of cuts called
for in the Cornhusker engraving con
tract was not filled by the upper-
classmen.
The number of pictures to be used
is, however, limited. Those who have
sittings at the Townsend studio first
will have the pictures in the year
book. This is a great privilege for
the sophomores which was begun
last year. A large number of uni
versities have a regular practice of
putting the pictures of the second
year students in their annual and
this practice may be adopted here if
the sophomores show proper interest
in this section.
It is a fine thing for many of the
students because of the fact that they
do not complete their university work
and were it not for their sophomore
nictures the students would have
nothing to remember them by.
The Cornhusker 6taff wish to im
press the sophomores with the fact
that the number of pictures is limited
and that they must have their sit
tings immediately if they are to have
their pictures In the book.
