BOULDER QUINTET
READY FOR FRIDAY
GAME WITH IIUSKERS
Sports Editor of Boulder Publica
tion Expects High Altitude
Will Affect Nebraskans.
By Alan Nichols
(Sports Editor, Silver and Gold)
Boulder, Colo., Jan. 15. Groomed by
five weekB of hard work, eucour.-ged
by the Initial victory over the old
Grads 26 to 17, and stimulated by the
knowledge of two stiff, games ahead,
Colorado's silver-jersied quintet went
through Its final workout in prepara
tion for the first game with Nebraska's
Huskers on the Armory floor Friday
night. A crowd which will Jam even
the entrances is expected to pack the
gymnasium to greet the Scarlet and
Cream in its maiden appearance in the
Rocky Mountain conference.
The tentative survey of material pre
dicted before the season opened
was found to be a fact and
Coach Joe Mills was surrounded
by a wealth of material. Five members
of last season's Rocky Mountain cham
pions were out in suits, supported by
a strong group of last year's freshmen
stars. So large was the squad that
the Silver and Gold mentor found
himself cempelled not to call his letter
men out until after -Christmas and
devote his entire time prior to the
holidays in combing and sifting his
new candidates.
For this reason Captain Schrepfer
man, Wlllard, Breckenrldge, Brown,
and Savage were not called upon until
two weeks ago. It was then found
that Savage, the veteran guard, was
Ineligible because of scholastic stand
ing. Noggle. has been working in his
place and doing satisfactorily. The re
mainder of last year's team is intact.
In the first and only practice game
of the season, the Varsity downed the
old Grads 26 to 17. The veterans had
three men on former conference cham
pionship teams, and gave the Silver
and Gold a fast contest until the final
ten minutes when the injection of
substitutes on the spent Grads gave
a substantial margin. The men 'plain
ly showed their lack of basket eyes.
Willard, Colorado's speedy forward,
failed to register a field basket; and
throughout the evening shots were
missed which will prove markers lat
er in the season. Foul throwing was
also poor, the Varsity making only
one point in eight attempts.
But aside from the quintet which
will probably start the contest. Mills
has a strong group of substitutes. Wil
liams. Schalk. and Bell of last year's
squad are showing better this winter.
Brltzman. the Colorado Springs Bpeedy
guard. Keller, Smith, Vidal, Harris,
Zanoni, and Petersen all are men who
may land berths on the Varsity before

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU TO

The Y. M. C. A. employment bureau,

es. OLD FASHIINEO TALK
GIVEIUT VESPEIS
Mrs. Brownell Spoke on Worth
whiles of Life to Members of
Y. W. C. A. Tuesday.
Mrs. Herbert Brownell gave "An
Old-Fashioned Talk," at vespers Tues
day. Her kindly personality at once
created a sympathetic atmosphere.
The homely chat and still more, the
personality of Mrs. Brownell appealed
to the girls. Especial interest was at
tached to her because most of the
girls are acquainted with her daugh
ter, Mary Brownell, who is a member
of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet. Mrs.
Brownell is a member of the Y. W. C.
A. advisory board.
In plain language, she emphasized
the importance of the little things that
make up the twenty-four hours of each
day. "We have had our thought direc
ted to doing things in a big way," she
said, "and we must do that but we
must see that we are fit to do things
In a big way." She told the girls that
every act, however small, has a part
in the making of personality, and that
no act can be undone."
Using the familiar Illustration of the
stone thrown into the pond, she said,
"We cannot hope, until we have
touched the one next to us, to influ
ence the whole circle."
The closing thought was, "If your
words and your thoughts and the medi
tations of your heart are acceptable
In the sight of God, they will be ac
ceptable in your sight, and you will
never have any memories that you
wish you might forget."
Madeline Hertdricks led the devo
tional exercises.
