FRATERNITY VISITS
Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi, Delta

Phi Latest Victims.
HARVEST ON "GOLD COAST"
The polite burglars who, it is
rumored, are paying for their Univer
sity careers by ransacking fraternity
houses, visited the homes of Phi
Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi, Delta Upsilon
and Alpha Sigma Phi, early Sunday
morning, and escaped with a large
amount of money from each house.
It is believed that the trespassers
drained nearly $500 from the Phi Psi
coffer, and took lesser amounts from
the other houses. This is another
link in the chain of robberies which
have relieved fraternity men of money
within the past few weeks. The other
losers were Phi Delta Theta, Delta
Chi and Alpha Tau Omega.
The burglars overlooked large sums

esting talk before the Delian Literary

the stories which her mother told her,
the took her Illustrations.

large audience. She is a believer in
the women who dare. She believes
that any legitimate occupation can bp

IIUSKERS LOSE
TO OKLAHOMANS
Nebraska Grapplers Conquered
by Close Score in Meet
at Stillwater.
FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON
Two thousand mat enthusiasts
watched the Husker grapplers go
down to defeat before the onslaught
of the Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical School wrestlers at Still
water, Oklahoma, Friday night The
new gymnasium was crowded to the
limit of its capacity and. the hrong
kept the air filled with cheers and
encouragement for the gladiators dur
ing the entire evening. Nebraska was
awarded the seven point start when
Votopka dropped his 125-pound op
ponent to the mat twice In succession,
the first fall in 4:15 and the second
in 5:25.
Captain Troendly defended his repu
tation in the second clash by pinning
the shoulders of the reputable Fletcher
to the mat in six minutes and winning
a decision for the Huskers in the
second fall for the 135 pounders. The
most skillfull match of the entire
evening was the twenty-seven minute
clash between Long, of Nebraska and
Clump, of Oklahoma. The bout was
declared a draw, as the equal speed,
strength and endurance of the men
made a decision impossible.
Captain Logabaugh of the Okla-
homans took the decision over Smith
in the 158 pound class after twenty-
seven minutes of strenuous mat work.
The leader of the Oklahoma aggrega
tion is widely known as a phenomena
in the wrestling game, strong, fast
and untiring. It will be noted that
he won twelve of the plaints awarded
the Southerners.
Pickwell lost to Logabauih in the
first fall for the 175 pounders in seveu
minutes but stayed by him until the
Oklahoman won a decision in twenty
one minutes, for the second round.
The "Jumbo" weights took their
time to exhibit form and prowess to
the onlookers. Hoyt for Nebraska
fell victim to Chase by a decision in
each of the two falls, leaving the
Oklahoma team victors by the score
of 23-19.
Captain Logabaugh of the Oklahoma
team made good his reputation as a
wrestler. In the match with the
Huskers he was pitted against two
of the Nebraska prize men and won
his matches in each case. The Okla
homan demon was responsible for
over half the points given his team.
In one case he was put in to fil the
place of a colleague who was out of
the match on account of a broken
shoulder.
SUPPLY OF GOGGLES
ALMOST EXHAUSTED
AT TEN CENT STORES
During the windy days of the first
part of the wsek, when small cyclones
and swift air currents made naviga
tion 8lmost impossible, the ten cent
"tores reported a rushing business in
Toggles. Goggles of all descriptions
from amber-colored ones with black
rims o thin mica spectacles reduced
the supply to such an extent in Lin
'oln that production will probably be
behind time until March. 1921. -
The girl at the goggle counter
giggled every time she sold a pair of
goggles. She pictured the hundreds
of students waiting for cars at Miller
ind Paine's corner for the Maich
"Stock Judging Show," all eyes glued
teadfastly on approaching cars which
stop. These corner cooties never
board cars, but only wait, wait wait.
The begogglcd students are not
lotherod by the dat they can see
perfectly we'l.
Goniles, in March days, seem to
ht a necessity for University stu
dents, and then, like all other neces
sities, they probably will be graduated
frcm ihe ten cent store counters, and
will ake their places in the jewelry
"teres at $5.00 a pair.
Did vou evrr give this a thought?
