Where the Missouri Valley basket
ball honors will alight is more of a
mvsUry today than at amy time dur
ing the season and the chances are
strong that the royal pennant will not
flutter down on the victorious tefi.ni of
basket tcssers until the last minute of
the season. The Kansas Aggies, Ne
braska. Grinnell, and Missouri, all
have their hands in the grab-sack
and the concluding games of the sea
son w ill reveal who holds the bag con
taining the purple rag.
A glance at the relative standing of
the four leaders shows the naiure of
the race. At present they stand as
follows:
Won.Lost.Pct.
Kansas Aggies 5 0 1.000
Nebraska 8 2 .S00
Grinnell 3 1 .750
Missouri 7 3 ,700
This percentage is bound to be
turned topsy-turvy. These four teams
are soon to be dumped into the test
ing sick and shaken together, and the
present standing wil probably show
1he effects of the process.. The follow
ing schedued games instantly reveal
the possibilities:
Ka.nsas Aggies at "K. U." February
2S and March 1.
Nebraska at "K. U." March 5 and 6.
Nebraska at Manhattan, March 7
and 8.
Kansas Aggies at Missouri, March
14 and 15.
Grinnell at Nebraska, March 14
and 15.
Exciting Finish in Line
Had the wildest sport fiend in the
valley planned this final lineup know
ing in advance how the teams would
have stood at the present time, he
could not have doped out a more ex
citing finish for the Conference race.
The vital conflicts this week will be
staged between "K. U." and the Ag
gies at Jayhawk erville, Friday and
Saturday night. The Jayhawks are
"making knots" at the present time
and may drop a couple of depth bombs
under the farmers' keel. The K. TJ.
basketmen occupy a position which
may make or break the championship
hopes of both Cornhuskers and Ag
gies. Dr. Stewart's team has a dan
gerous mission ahead of it when it
invades the Sunflower state for four
consecutive games next week. Ne
braska sends her men on a deadly
mission. Her daring fighters may plow
through to victory or they may be ut
1erly annihilated at the first line of
defense. The Jayhawks may thus
prove to be the most vicious dog in
the manger that ever prowled around
Ihe valley.

COMMUNITY MEETINGS
The second of the series of six com-
munitv meetings now being hed each
Sunday afternoon at the Orpheum the
atre was held February 23d. Great in
terest has been manifested in these
meetings on the part of the univer
sity students, and Sunday the theatre
was crowded to its capacity.
Mr. H. A. Causey of Denver, Colo
rado, who has just returned front
abroad, and has been in a position to
do much social and community work,
spoke to the assembly. His remarks
were of gref-.t interest to the large
crowd present.
Superintendent Dixon of University
Tlace also gave an address which was
vtrv well received, especially by the
students. These meetings should be
encouraged, not only for purely edu
cational motives, but because the war
has shown that the country must take
un an Americanization campaign, and
?earn who put America in American
ism.
The committee on Americanism has
nlanned these six meetings and aims
to have subjects discussed that are of
the most vital interest to the nation
and to the community. At the first
meeting M. W. Folsom gave an ad
dress on his war experiences in Eu
rope and of the effect oft the war on
our nation. At both meetings motion
nictures of Americans part in the war,
and a reel showing 1he Liberty Day
parade in Lincoln were features.
Next Sunday Governor McKelvie
will speak on state administration and
its work. Students are again especial
ly urged to attend, and for their bene
fit a complete program of next Sun
day's program will be printed in the
Nebraskan later in the week.

Relics Students Asked
to Contribute.
The semi-centennial exhibition of
relics presented by the alumni of the
Uniersity of Nebraska is to be held
this spring under the management of

man of the alumni committees. This
exhibition will give an excellent op

learn something of the activities of
their alma mater for the pats fifty
years, since the granting of the char
ter, the fiftieth anniversary of which
is to be celebrated in May.
At the exhibition will be found all
sorts of class gifts, books, school pa
pers, photographs, and other prized
relics of former days, long coveted by
individuals and whole classes long
since forgotten, as well as those of
more recent years which may recall
activities in which students of the
past few years have taken part. Prep
arations are being made now for a
complete exhibition which is sure to
interest everyone. In addition to the
work being done by the committees in
collecting material, every student
who knows of any obtainable objects
connected with the life of ihe institu
tion is urged to communicate at once
with Miss Hunter, in 'room 205, U
Hall.
Ticksts Sell for
Per for Uni Performance
Next Tuesday, March 4, will find
long- lines of sludents, winding
through the lobby of the Temple and
out over the sidewalks. University
Night tickets will be on sale. The
sale starts at eleven o'clock and by
one the last seat in the house will
have been sold. But two tickets are
allowed each person.
The ninth annual university night
promises to be far greater than ever.
The Laws, working true to form, have
produced a skit which drags out every
skeleton, airs every bit of campus gos
sip but too much must not be told.
The Art Club which are to appear for
the first time promises to produce the
cleverest and most artistic bit ever
seen on a Lincoln stage. The Union
Literary Society, after several years'
vacation, comes back stronger than
before with a side-splitting act which
promises to raise the roof, Grubb and
Fogelson, masters of song and story,
will appear in a performance entirely
of their own.
The Engineers are planning a sur
prise a big surprise, something so en
tirely new, that it will be the talk of
the town for months. The Palladian
Society have worked out a novel idea
and those on the inside promise a
screamer. The Uni Palyers have d
rpn1d from their lofty place among
the classics and will delve into the
futures of our most beloved profes
sors. The Pre-Medics what would
University Night be without the Pre-
Medics hint darkly as to the blood
curdling stunts which they so delight
in. Tbe Land as always will start the
evening in good style. The Ag Club is

Tuesday.
Victory Annual to Be Biggest
and Best Book Ever Put
Out at Nebraska.
The Cornhusker sales campaign
will begin Tuesday. March 4. Some
unique plans for conducting it have
been made and an unusual success is
assured. The girls w ill be called upon
as usual to lend a helping hand in
the problem of getting the book into
hte hands of the students and some
v;ry attractive prizes will be award
ed those who have the greatest suc
cess in the campaign.
The Victory Annual will be more
than an ordinary year book for it will
embody all of the old prewar fea
tures as well as express the war spirit
of Nebraska and her soldiers and
present many of the post-war experi
ences which are soon to crowd out
the war time life. These combined
reatures will make a bigger and bei
ter book than ever before and one
that will be more on the order of the
annuals of larger schools than our
own.
Athletic Section to Be Complete
The athletic section of the book
will be really complete with every
Nebraska athlete represented and his
record and his reason for being there
given. The year's athletics will be
reviewed and the letter men will be
shown; the N club and .is history
fully written up, its purpose, its suc
cess, and the names of the club mem
bers. Coach Stewart will be among
his warriors and Jack Best will ap
pear wilh the men he has so faith
full v served.
The Nebraska girl athletes will also
have for the first time a complete
representation. Those who have won
their letters will be shown in true

ges of the evening. Everything
cannot be told, of course, but there
are more an deven greater surprises
The Committee is working night
and day. They tell nothing but occa-
sionally something portends that the
whole evening will be conducted on a
more pretentious scale than ever.
They are handicapped by high prices,
rents and taxes.
The city auditorium has been cho
sen as the only building of sufficient
capacity to handle the crowds. The
seating and ushering are being per
fected so that 1he trouble and confu
sion of former years will be unknown.
The best music that can be obtained
will give the program all the ear
marks of the metropolitan vaudeville.
Further notice will be given in re
gard to the details of buying tickets.
Each person can buy but two tickets
at 25 cents each.
The University Night was organized
nine years ago by the University Y.
M. C. A. and has been produced with
increasing popularity under its aus
pices each year. Its object is purely
to trive the University a good time
and give the aspiring actors and
comedians an opportunity to show
their ability. For years it was run at
a finacial loss and not until 191 did
it even pay expenses. The low admis
sion price enables everyone to attend
and the money taken in is used to pay
