era Chance for the Basket

Claim Small Floor Responsible-
Real Test to Come in Series
With Aggies.
The winning of the basketball series
with Missouri has opened the eyes of
ha Missouri Valley dopesters. Th.
Kansas City sport writers are now
conceding that the Cornhuskers have
a chance for the championship. They
are of the opinion, however, that the
real strength of' the Nebraska team
has not been tested. It is argued that
a contest on the miniature floor of
the Nebraska Armory Is not a genu
ine test of a team's streagth, because
the last two teams that have opposed
the Huskers are accustomed to a long
er floor. There is some foundation
in the contention, and whether or not
it is true will be proven when Coach
Stewart's men meet the Kansas Far
mers on a floor where the dis
tance between baskets is notoriously
lengthy. The attention of the whole
conference is now focused on the
three-cornered duel for the champion
ship between Nebraska, the Tigers,
and the Kansas Aggies.
Strong Husker Defense
Many feature&in connection with the
Washington-Tiger series are gradu
ally coming to light. An outstanding
revelation is the wonderful defensive
game played by the Cornhuskers.
Some of the most dangerous basket
tossers in the valley were held almost
'scoreless. Marquird, the mo"M bril
liant star in the Piker outfit, 6hot only
three field goals in the two games,
while Duncker, the other champion
point getter, located the hoop but once
during the series.
i .
The Missouri series shows more
clearly still the strength of Nebras
ka's defensive game. Vogt, the Tiger
center, who leads the conference in
total scoring, was held to five field
goals for the two games. Scott, their
star forward, who was tied with Jack
son for the conference field goal hon
ors, bagged only four. Captain Ruby,
who stood third as conference point
getter, was allowed to locate the iron
ling on but three occasions.
Offensive Strength Shown
The offensive strength of the Corn
huskers is attested by the goals ac
cumulated by Jackson, Gillilan and
Schellenberg. In the Washington
series Jackson made twelve field goals
and Gillilan eight. The two contests
with Missouri netted Jackson eight
field goals, Gilly four, and Shelly six.
Reynolds made a remarkable record
In the Missouri series. Out of four
chances at the basket, two of his se
tempts were successful. This gives
him the highest batting average of the
series.
Another feature which has not been
mentioned so far, is that the score of
last Saturday's game was 28 to 25, in
stead 0g 28 to 26. Missouri was -given
a free throw at the end of the first
half because four time outs had been
called on Nebraska. After the game,
Referee Jones annulled the point
hich Missouri made on this decision,
hy ruling that one of the time outs
had been on himself.

TELLS IMPORTANCE OF
COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS
Representative Emerson Pursell of
Broken Bow addressed the class in
Journalism last evening. He epoke
of the importance in the community
of the country newspaper and re
counted his own experiences in start

exerted by a newspaper and newspa
per writers and of the opportunity

LETTERS RECOMMEND A
COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
Letters have been received by Pro
fessor LeRossignol, head of the School
lof Comahrce, which graphically show
the attitude of some of the foremost
instructors of the country, in regard
to the proposed college of commerce
at Nebraska.
Dean David Klnley, of the graduate
school of the University of Illinois,
has the following to say in behalf of
the college of commerce: "I am con
vinced that an individual college or
ganization is necessary for the high
est success of the work In com
merce." In additional response to the de
mand of such a college at the uni
versity, Prof. C. 0. Ruggles, of the
department of economics at the Ohio
State University, writes: "I believe
that it is a desirable thing to have
separate and independent organiza
tions for the work In commerce; in
the first place, because colleges of
rats are not likely to be willing to
count toward an art's degree the
amount of technical work which col
leges of commerce will naturally offer
in the future."
Prof. W. E. Hotchkiss of the Uni
versity of Minnesota at Minneapolis,
was In Lincoln last week and lectured
before the Retailers' Confederation
on the subject, "The Purchasing Pow
er of the Community After the War."
Professor Hotchkiss is thoroughly In
timate with the conditions existing at
this time, and his lecture was very
well received by the business men,
who were fortunate enough to be pres
ent at this meeting. Wednesday noon
he was the guest of several members
of the university facalty at a luncheon
in the Commercial Club and after
dinner he gave a short impromptu
talk on "University Training for
Business." Professor Hotchkiss is
the head of the department of eco
nomics and director of business eflu-

Regents Adopt Proposed Plan of
Games at Meeting Six of
Eight Games at Home.
Nebraska's 1919 football schedule
which the regents approved last Satur
day stands undisputed as the hardest
series of games which any team in
the country will tackle. There is not
a practice game on the list; every one
being of big league schedule calibre.
The Cornhuskers feel that there Is
more honor in tackling big teams and
possibly losing a few, than in picking
out an easy schedule with weakt
teams and winning them all.
The following Is the official Corn
husker football schedule for 1919:
Oct. 4, Iowa at Iowa City.
Oct. 11, Minnesota at Minneapolis.
Oct. 18, Notre Dame at Lincoln.
Oct. 25, Oklahoma at Lincoln or
Omaha.
Nov. 1, Ames at Lincoln.
Nov. 8, Missouri at Columbia.
Nov. 15, Kansas at Lincoln.
Nov. 27, Syracuse at Lincoln.
The Oklahoma game will be played
In Omaha if the Board of Regents can
get the consent of the Conference of
ficials. If the contest is staged in the
metropolis a big financial crop should
result. Financially, the coming sea
son promises to be the most success
ful in Cornhusker history. Every bat
tle will be of importance and the whole
schedule places Nebraska football in
a position of national importance.

Mary Helen Allensworth of Lincoln
was elected president of the senior
class at the second Bemester election
yesterday and thereby becomes the
third successive senior co-ed to head
the class for the second semester of
the year. She won from her oppon
ent, Katharine Newbranch of Omaha
by a vote of 86 to 50.
Jack Landale of Omaha was chosen
for the position of junior managing ed
itor of the Cornhusker. He was elect
ed by a count of 91 to 23 over Lyle
McBride of Blair. The names of both
candidates were written on the soph
omore ballot which was thrown open
at the last moment by the withdrawal
of te only candidate to file.
Kenneth Hawkins of Omaha led the
freshman ticket by a wide margin over
his closest opponent, Harry Stephens,
of Fremont. The vote stood 217 for
Hawkins, 178 for Stephens, and 30 for
Mary Sheldon.
All other candidates won without
competition. Floyd Stone for junior
president, Jcsso Patty for sophomore
president, Harold Gerhart for editor of
the Cornhusker, Frank Patty for busi
ness manager and Harvey Johnson for
Ivy Day Orator received compliment
ary votes.
Election Was Quiet
The election on the whole was quiet.
The most exciting race, perhaps, was
in the senior class where two women
backed by effective machines contes
ted for class honors. The freshman
presidency also aroused interest a-
mong the underclassmen, who turned
out in large numbers to support their
favorite candidantes. A surprise of
the day was the open ballot for Junior
managing editor of the Cornhusker.
Jack Landale who received this honor
is the present news editor of the Daily
Nebraskan.
The voting yesterday was slightly
heavier than that usually polled at sec
ond semester elections. Seniors and
freshmen displayed great interest in
their class races and even in the Jun
ior and sophomore classes where there
was but one filing for each office, stu
dents evidenced their support of candi
dates. The vote polled on the open
ballot for the Cornhusker managing
editorship was unusually large.
Students voted 271 to 35 in favor of
the proposed change in the student
council constitution.
