The Phi PsI and Alpha Sig bowling quintets showed that they deserved a place in the semi-finals Tuesday night by defeating the Delta Upsilon and Phi Gamma Delta teams respectively. Both sets were hotly contested throughout. In the first game of the Phi Psl- D. U. clash the Phi Psi's had things their own way and won by an 82 pin margin, but in the second game the D. U.'s came up from behind and won by 57 pins. The consistent work of the Phi Psi's in the third game was too much for the D. U. men and the opposition lost by 36 maples. Funk- houser was high man for the winners, with 472 to his credit, while Gardiner rolled 487 for the D. U.'s. The Wal rus Alleys were packed and the games were feature by the marked cheer ing of the rooters for each team.

The formal season is presenting a number of obstacles which are con fronting the students of the Univer sity and these questions are being ironed out as rapidly as possible. The question of presenting flowers to University women has again arisen. The inter-Fraternitv Council Constitu tion contains an article to the effect that "flowers shall not be presented by fraternity men to women for any social function." The violation of this article has occurred a number of times during the last few weeks. A few men, however, are of the opinion that the "say it with flowers" idea is a good one and they see no reason why flowers should not be given. At a recent meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Council the question was discussed and It was decided that severe methods will be taken in the event of a violation. The Constitution also contains a clause which states that students shall not order vehicles, horse drawn or motor, to be used as conveyances to and from school parties. This point will not be stressed by the council because it is not always pos sible to obtain free rides and the occasional inclement weather neces sitates the ordering a taxi from the city stables. GRID PROSPECTS BEGIN PRACTICE Thirty-eight Members of 1919 Varsity and Freshman Squads Eligible for Spring Work. 1920 OUTLOOK IS ROSY Spring football practice started Monday with thirty-eight members of the 1919 Varsity and Freshman squads eligible to work with Coach Schulte in the early scrimmages. These men will be issued equipment and will be put through a month of Intensive training under the direction of A. J. Sturzenegger, former Yost scout, who came to take up his duties at the University Monday. The list of candidates for the 1920 grid team looks better than it has for years. The prospects are good for a first-class team with which to meet the teams that are on the Ne braska schedule for next fall. Sturzenegger will be a real asset to the Husker coaching staff. He is the man who scouted for Nebraska pre vious to the Minnesota game, and members of the team attribute much of their success with the Gophers to his instructions. Sturzenegger is a scientist on football, according to players, but his theories are valuable. He is able to size up players on opposing teams. Previous to the Nebraska-Minnesota game last fall, ho instructed the Nebraska men as to the strong points of the Gopher team. When the Huskers took the field they were able without any difficulty to know where to strike and where to take care. Lost Only Two Men Only two men who were regular members of the football team last year will not be eligible to play next fall, but their absence will leave two big holes to fill. In the leaving of Dobson, Nebraska has lost one of the most consistent punters and ground gainers that Husker football has ever known. The loss of Wilder in the (Continued on Page 4) SOPHOMORE GIRLS WIN IN FIRST TOURNEY GAME Defeat Juniors in Fast Battle Tuesday Freshman Second Team Conquers Juniors. v The first round of the Girls' Inter Class Basketball Tournament was played Tuesday afternoon in the Armory.
