NEBRASKA LOSES
GAME IN SOUTH
Huskers Drop First Baseball
Tilt to Oklahoma Sooners
by Score of 7-2.
PICKETT FANS SIXTEEN
NORMAN, Okla., April 22. The Ne
braska Cornhusker inaugurated their
Oklahoma tour yesterday by dropping
a baseball game to the University of
Oklahoma. The score was 7 to 2. 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. Bailey,
Bekins, McCrory, Graves and Pickett
each pounded the "ball for two hits.

groups a spirit of unity. This year
the University has only eleven pre
medic girls. One girl is preparing
for surgery, another is studying dis
eases of the eye, three are preparing
for foreign field work, and the other
six are specializing In diseases of

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.

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

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.
This will be the first at Nebraska; it
is hoped to make it an annual affair.
Tickets are $1.25. Nebraska Univer
sity's newspaper women urge students
to attend this, the first of what may
become the traditional annual Bill
Board Ball. Tickets may be obtained
from Marian Mote, Marian Henninger,
Carolyn Reed, Alyne O'Loughlin, Ruth
Snyder and Dorothy Barkley.
