String of Veterans and Promising
Freshman Brighten Next
Season's Prospects.
Elmer II. Schellenberg, '20, has
been chosen by the basketball team
to succeed Captain Jackson as pilot
for next season. "Schelly" is the
most experienced veteran on the
squad and has earned the position by
his performance during the past sea
son. With twenty-four field goals to
his credit he comes second only to
Jackson in the number of baskets
tossed from the floor. "Schelly" has
played two years on the varsity and
one season the freshman team and
has won the title of the old' warhorse
of the squad.
Cornhusker basketball prospects for
next season are the brightest they
have been for many a long year, and
"Schelly" will be the leader of the
fastest team ever turned out by Ne
braska. Coach Stewart will have a
whole squad of veterans with which
to start the season besides the addi
tion of the wonderful freshman squad
of the past season. Schellenberg,
Reynolds, Patty, Newman, Bailey,
Kacer, Pickett, Davis and Spear will
be ready to add another season of
varsity basketball to their record and,
Costelle, Munn, Russell, Austin Smith,
Budd Smith, Paynter, Junmeyer,
Perry, Cypreansen and Norton will be
ready for their first venture into the
varsity world). No Cornhusker basket
ball captain ever had better prospects
for a winning season ahead of his
team than has the new captain.

The Student Should Know--
SILVER SERPENT
The junior girls' honorary society,
the Silver Fcrpents, was founded In
the school year of 1905, by a group
of juniors with the assistance of Dr.
Louise Pound.
The aim of the girls was to become
a committee representing their class
n social activities and to bring about
a unity and fellowship among mem
bers of the class. At first there was
rlvalrv between the Black Masque and
the Silver Serpents, but soon all dis
cord and friction disappeared and left
a feeling of comradeship. Their aim
was the same, namely, to bring about
a greater university spirit. This or
ganization does not exist solely for
social purposes. They have an annual
rhriRtmas tag day every year ana use
this money for families of poor people.
Varh soring one sophomore from
each sorority and three non-sorority
girls are chosen. The activ. mem
her are Ruth Sheldon, presiutut;
Dorothy Weat herald, vice-president;
Jean Landale. treasurer; Helen Lewis,
Adelaide Elam. True Jack. Carolyn
Reed. Genevieve Loeb. Helen Fisher.

EXPERIENCED CAST PLAYS
IN DRAMATIC CLUB FARCE
Preparations Complete for Second
Production at Temple Theatre
Wednesday Night.
Everything is in readiness for the
second production of the Dramatic
Club, "She Stoops to Conquer," which
will be given at the Temple theatre
Wednesday evening.
The cast has been practicing night
and day for the past two weeks and
only a few of the finishing touches re
main to be worked out.
Mr. Fogleson who is playing the
part of Tony Lumpkin is well fulfilling
the reputation of the part in which
practically all of the best comedians
of the day have first earned their
fame. He just naturally "blows" in
and takes you by storm. His imper
sonation of "Mother's Angel Child
certainly carries out the popular
version.
Then there is the irresistable Miss
Hardcastle played by Miss Marguerite
Mulvhill who is well suited to the
part. The double nature of her role
adds a touch which holds the interest
till the curtain drops on the last
scene.

HUSKERS SET NEW
RECORD IN RELAYS
McMahon Runs Quarter Mile in
50 Seconds Flat at Drake
Cinder Meet.
Nebraska Speed Demons Make
Sensational Showing With
Eastern Schools.
Nebraska's mile relay team, com
posed of Gibbs, Smith, Fuchs and
McMahon, established a new Missouri
valley record when they won this
event in the Drake relay meet In 3:26.
Byron McMahon, running the last lap
for the Cornhuskers, covered the quar
ter mile in 50 seconds flat.
The Nebraska tracksters upset the
dope completely by winning the uni
versity mile relay after nosing out
eleven Western Conference and Mis
souri Valley teams. The Huskers also
placed third in the university half
mile event and were second to Chicago
n the total number of points secured.
Byron McMahon, Ed. Smith, John
Gibbs and Rudy Fuchs, who won the
mile, also set a new Nebraska record.
McMahon. ran his lap of the mile in
fifty seconds flat while the rest of the
men averaged fifty-one and a half
seconds. Eleven teams were entered
in this event Notre Dame, Grinnell,
Ames, Chicago, Iowa, Illinois, North
western, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska.
Win After Hard Fight
Chicago, Missouri and Kansas were
picked as possible winners, but the
fight developed between Nebraska,
Missouri and aKnsas. Gibbs, running
first, nosed out all but the Missouri
and Kansas men and handed the baton
to Smith who promptly passed up the
Kansas runner and pressed the Mis
souri man hard at the finish. The race
here developed into a fight between
the three valley schools as the rest
of the runners were some twenty
yards back. Fuchs, running next, kept
close to the Missouri man but Rodkey,
of Kansas, in a final spurt drew up
into second place. With Captain
O'Leary, of Kansas, five yards in the
lead and Barlow, of Missouri, fifteen
yards in advance, McMahon began the
fourth lap for Nebraska. He passed
O'Leary on the back stretch and be
gan to close up the distance to Barlow.
At twenty yards from the tape both
were running neck and neck but Mc
Mahon had the stronger finish and
broke the tape a yard in advance.

GOVERNMENT OFFERS
INFORMATION ABOUT
WAR RISK INSURANCE
The matter of conversion of the
present War Rish Insurance is of ut
most importance. The date for the
beginning of conversion has not yet
been set, but as soon as the President
officially decleares peace or Congress
passes a special act authorizing con
version, it will be possible for all per
sons who are carrying Government
insurance to convert it into the new
types of policies. It is expected that
the date for the beginning of conver
sion will be about June 1st or perhaps
earlier.
In order to be able to convert the
War Risk Insurance, it is necessary
to keep up the payments on the
present insurance. These payments
should be made each month by certi
fied check or money order made pay
able to the Treasurer of the United
States, forwarded to the Disbursing
Clerk, Bureau of War Rish Insurance,
Washington, D. C. If the payments
are not made within the month the
nsurance automatically lapses, but it
may be reinstated upon payment of
back premiums, provided the indi
vidual can show evidence of insur
ability. The certificate of any reput
able physician will be accepted as evi
dence of insurability. The insurance
regarded as remarkable, as the men
