ENROLLMENT FOR SECOND
TERM NOT YET COMPLETE
Registration for the second semes
ter is not yet complete. The delay
bas been caused by the great num
ber of students who vtre sick with the
influenza. The deans of the different
colleges do not expect to have figures
completed until Friday.
Although figures for the second
semester are not yet complete, the
registration Is greater than any for
mer mid-semester In the history of
the school. This is due, in part, to
the large number of high school grad
uates entering the university, ex-service
men returning to the university
and men who have been granted voca
tional ducat ion by the United States
Government.

diately after the state high school
tournament, which will be the Becond

will be announced in the near future.
The games will be played on the Ar
mory floors.
A Lincoln business firm has donat
ed a cup and five individual medals
which will be presented to the win
ning team. This will no doubt make
the competition considerably keener.
The few games that have already been
played have given promise of a lively
scrap for the championship. These

to consolidate these companies.

City Fire Laddies
Visit The Achoth'
The Achoth sorority experienced
its first fire of the year at 7:15 o'clock
Monday morning when sparks issuing
from a chimney of a neighboring
house ignited the Achoth roof caus
ing slight damage.
The city fire department answerei!
the call made by one of the fresh
men who discovered the flames as
they leaped skyward. The fire fight
ers after thirty minutes of hard labor
succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
After a careful Invoice made by
the occupants of the house it was
discovered that the flames or the
copious supply of water administered
by the fire laddies failed to destroy
much haberdashery and other per
sonal property. The girls were con
suming their morning repast when the
alarm was sounded. It is reported
that more damage was done in the
dining room when the girls rished
for safety than the damage made by
fire and water.
The president of the chapter stated
yesterday morning that every member
arrived at their eight o'clock classes
on time.

riers to Fight Huskers at
Armory Thursday ami

Huskers Will Prove Their Ability
Against Contenders for iag
Ten Title.
A basketball classic which no fan
can afford to miss is in store-for Ne
braska basketball enthusiasts this
week, when Coach Schissler's doughty
Huskers clash with "Jumbo" Stlehm's
Indiana Hoosiers in the Armory on
Thursday and Friday nights. These
will be the most important games of
the season so far and the heretofore
victorious Cornhuskers will be given a
chance to show their ability against
one of the strongest teams in the coun
try.
The Hoosiers have been making
rapid strides in the race for the Big
Ten title. Recent victories over Mich
igan, Ohio State, and Northwestern
place them at the very front in the
Big Ten standing. Stlehm's team de
feated Northwestern to the tune of
32-11 and Northwestern Is credited
with a win over Iowa. Iowa in turn
won from the strong Chicago five,
which is rated as one of the strong
est contenders for the championship.
At present Indiana and Illinois seem
to be the leaders in the Western con
ference race.
A victory over the Hoosiers will
place the Huskers in tne first division
of middle-west basketball teams. As
the Cornhuskers do not play any Mis
souri Valley teams this year, it will be
somewhat difficult to determine meir
status among the Valley teams. There
is little doubt, however, if the Husk
ers win over Indiana, Notre Dame, and
the Michigan Aggies, that they conld
hold their own against any five in the
Missouri Valley.
Huskers in Stiff Scrimmage
Coach Schissler put the Hubkers
through a stiff scrimmage with the
freshman tossers last night. Every
man on the varsity squad was used
against the Yearlings and a thorough
work-out resulted. Coach Schissler
is leaving no stone unturned to pre
pare the Husker tossers for the stiff
contests with the invading Hoosiers.
Schissler fully realizes the calibre of
basketball the Cornhuskers must play
in order to win from the Indiana team.
When the news was received regard
ing the defeat of Northwestern by In
diana the coach said:
"Nebraska must play 100 per cent

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
SHOWS IMPROVEUEtlT
The empidemlc of influenza, which
has spread throughout the university,
in a light form, during the last few
weeks, is improving.
Some fraternities have reported as
high as ten or twelve caaee. Prac
tically all are well or improving now
Professors McPhee, Babcock. . Gass
and Frye are ill. Some of the stu
dents who were taken ill returned
home, some were taken to hospitals,
while others were quarantined in their
rooms.
Dr. Philbrlck said that the epidemic
is not serious. Very few cases are
alarming this year, because the heart
and lungs are not affected, as they
were last year. Because of the differ
ence In the symptoms, she even ex
pressed doubt whether the epidemic
Is the same.
Regarding this. Dr. H. H. Waite, of
the department of biology, said, "I
think that this is certainly influenza,
but it exists in a lighter form than It
did last year. Of the cases which i
have seen, the same symptoms exist,
but in lighter form." Then he added.
"La'grippe is the French word for the
disease and influenza is the Italian.
They both mean one and the same
thing."
One university student, James Dun
can, has. received word of the death of
his sister from influenza. There have
been no fatal cases In the university
and few outside.
