Al though Captain Pickett fanned sixteen Oklahoma batters and the Cornhusk ers had a substantial margin in the base hit column, Nebraska errors at critical moments made the victory comparatively easy for the Sooner club. The Oklahoma infield played brilliant baseball, executing two double plays and fielding perfectly in every pinch. The Cornhuskers scored their two runs in the first Inning on clean hit ting. Bailey, the Nebraska shortstop, hit the ball in the opening frame for a home run, but was called out for failing to touch second base.

Omaha day of the University of Nebraska, planned or May 7, has been abandoned this year by the Bureau of Publicity of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, because the Omaha alumni of the University of Nebraska are engaged on plans for a drive for a memorial stadium. The decision of the Bureau has been ap proved by Chancellor Avery. "The success of the day depends on the co-operation of the University of Nebraska alumni in Omaha," said Harvey Milliken, chairman of the Bureau of Publicity. "We did not feel free to ask them to devote their time to Omaha day this year because they are already giving all their spare moments to planning for the memorial stadium drive." Chancellor Avery writes: "We re ceive the suggestion of abandoning our day in Omaha with a spirit of regret on account of the attractive features of the day and the fine entertainment afforded us in Omaha. Ci the other hand, it is exceedingly difficult to do all the things that we wish to do. The end of the school year is extremely crowded. The Om aha alumni Is lining up for the memorial proposition and it seems to me that the Bureau of Publicity has taken a wise view. Life is so short and there are so many things that we are called upon to do that it is con stantly a question of deciding which one of the large number of desirable things should take precedence. I hope that the abandoning of the day for this year will not cause any lessening ol the interest which we feel for Om aha and which Omaha feels for the University." The announcement of the cancel lation of this year's trip comes as a surprise to many students who have been making plans to visit the Gate city. It is hoped that the trip will be resumed next year. TO RAISE $800 FOR RELAY TEAM Students Will Finance Eastern Trip Tag Day Next Week. HAVE OLYMPIC MATERIAL McMahon and Owens Out Meet at Des Moines Saturday. of ADMIT ACHOTH SORORITY TO PAN-HELLENIC UNION Eight hundred dollars will be raised by popular subscription next Monday and Tuesday in order to defray ex penses of the Husker relay team to the Pennsylvania meet. The athletic treasury at the present time does not warrant the expenditure of such a sum. A tag system has been arranged by members of the Innocents and Viking societies who will inaugurate the drive on the campus. The minimum subscription is fifty cents. A call is sounded for the presidents of the fol lowing organizations to meet at the Cornhusker office Friday noon to dis cuss arrangements for waging the financial campaign. Ready for Drake In preparation for the Drake relay meet, which is to be run off at Des Moines next Saturday, April 24, Coach Schulte is putting his track men under strenuous workouts and the material is rounding into a promising looking crop of runners. Although two stars, Captain McMahon and Owens, are on the sick list, some good time is being made considering the fact that as yet the men have not been able to extend themselves on a fair track. At both competitive tryouts the track has been very heavy and slow time has been the result. The time on paper looked good but when the condition of the field is taken into consideration it can be seen that the men would have made a much better showing had they been tried out on a dry and hard track. Coach Schulte is looking for better time and a better showing by each man during the com ing meet than has been shown as yet on the Husker home yard providing the track is in condition and weather conditions favorable to a good field day. Coach Schulte is sending three teams to Des Moines and they are ex pected to make a creditable showing for Nebraska. Were Captain Mc Mahon and Owens in the lineup Ne braska would have three of the fast est teams in America, entered in the meet next Saturday. McMahon is laid up with a ba dankle and Owens (Continued on Page Four) THETA SIGMA PHI TO GIVE BALL University Journalistic Girls Will Stage Subscription Party. Achoth sorority was unanimously elected to membership in the local Pan-Hellenic Union at a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic Council Thursday. Informal talks were given by the two guests, Miss Sarah Blue, extension secretary and installing inspector of Kappa Delta, and Miss Marie Carson, district visiting delegate of Pi Beta Phi. Fifteen sororities are now in the local Pan-Hellenic Union. All the other chapters of Achoth were already affiliated with the Pan-Hellenic or ganizations of their localities. In order to be taken into the national organization, it was necessary that each chapter belong to a local Pan- Hellenic Union. Miss Blue, the representative of Kappa Delta, a chapter of which was recently installed here, spoke of the higher things that Greek letter fra ternities stand for. She said that frequently the public hears nothing of the fraternity'3 efforts to encourage good scholarship and the school ac tivities that are worth while, but reads about each detail of social life. Good Jazzy music and an evening of dancing will feature the Bill-Board Ball at Woman's Hall, Saturday, April 24. This is the one big subscription party that the Theta Sigma Thi, jour nalistic fraternity for women, gives during the year. Theta Sigma Phi at Kansas Univer sity gives a Bill-Board Ball annually.
