Dr, Gilkey Describes Present
Situation Before Largest
Convocation of Year.
STUDENTS GET INTERVIEWS
Tbree addresses on vocational, re
ligious and educational topics and
niany personal interviews are the
record of Dr. C. W. Gilkey in his
visit to the University from Monday
afternoon to Tuesday afternoon. His
address Tuesday morning was the
occasion of the largest convocation of
t)ie semester. About fifty members
of the faculty heard him speak on
"Education and Religion" at a
luncheon at the Grand Hotel Tuesday.
The seating capacity of the chapel
In Memorial Hall was filled and stu
dents were standing at convocation.
Dr. Gilkey Introduced by Dean For
dyce, described the situation of the
world and declared that the great I
hope of today lies in the universities
and the churches. "A year ago," he
said, "all were looking forward with
optimism; now the majority of the
people are more pessimistic. The
mind of the public has been brought
from t he heights of expectation to the
depths of discouragement. When
can we look for encouragement?
Where can we, who have but one life
to invest, place it to the best advn
tage?" the speaker asked.
He said that political, business and
industrial institutions are in a state
of perplexity. The two institutions
which, lie declared, are showing more
progress now than in the past are
the university and the church.
In his address at the faculty
luncheon. Dr. Gilkey urged that we
steer clear of the tendencies to un
religious liberalism and unintelligent
religion. He stressed the importance
of the intellectual outlook of the pub
lic in its relation to social progress.
Much enthusiasm was shown over
the personal interviews with Dr.
Gilkey.

ALLEYS CROWDED
FOR SECOND ROUNDS
Phi Psi's and Alpha Sig's Earn
Right to Play in Greek
Bowling Semi-Finals.
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 Alpha Sigs showed their supe
riority over the Phi Gam's by handing
them a trouncing to the tune of 2468
to 2170. Baldwin was high-pin man
for the Alpha Sigs with 536. while
Stanton toppled over 463 for the Phi
Gam's. The Alpha Sig's show promise
of being strong contenders for a posi
tion in the finals.

NO FLOWERS FOR CO-EDS
AT UNIVERSITY PARTIES
Inter-Fraternity Council Plans to
Enforce Ruling Taxi Rule
not Stressed this Year.
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
