Friday evening, are well under way,
according to Miss Mary Brownell,

The party is a costume affair, and
much enthusiasm is being shown
among the girls In the preparations of
their costumes and many clever ideas
have been developed. Many new fea

tions are being planned, in the hopes
of making this year's affair surpass
those Ot former years.
The program will be made up of
stunts, to be given by ten girls'
organizations. The number was
limited to. ten, so that the program
would not take up the entire evening.
Only the first ten applicants were
tlven places on the program, though
several organizations applied after the
riru had been filled. The names of
the taunts to be given have been
.n-ntinrui and if the acts can be

SHAKE-UPS III
Captain "Skipper" Bailey Is Out of
Practice for at Least a Week
With Injured Eye.
Cotner Likely Foe
Bekins, Regular Center, Has Left
School Until After Holidays
Other Players Are Out.
Coach Schlssler's phenomenal baa-
ket-tossers, who have proceeded thus
far in the season without a setback,
received several severe Jolts yester
day. Captain "Skiprer" Bailey is out
on account of an infection in his eye.
He will probably be unable to practice
the entire week. Bekins, the Husker
center, has left school and will not
return until after the Christmas holi
days. To complete the list, two other
of Coach Schlssler's dependable bas
ket tossers have been forced to leave
the squad. It will require a great deal
of practice to whip the depleted ranks
of the Huskers into fighting formation
for their battle with Illinois. Coach
Schissler drilled his proteges last
evening In signal practice and basket
shooting. There will be a secret
scrimmage this afternoon
To Play Cotner.
Arrangements are being made for
one or two practice games with
Cotner College before the Husker's
eastern trip. It is essential that the
squad be given one or two chances to
work toeether before their initial
engagement with the IIlinL No ad
mission will be charged to these
games.
Kansas Aggies Here.
During his trip into Kansas, Direc
tor Luehring scheduled two games
with the Kansas Aggies on the Husker
floor, the 25th and 26th of February.
This completes the list of games that
the Huskers will play In the Missouri
Valley Conference this year.
Expect Championship Team.
The Husker quintet has all the
chance In the world to annex the
Missouri Valley championship during
the coming season. Neraska-is now
fully reinstated In the Conference and
Coach Schlssler's five Is scheduled to
clash with enough Valley teams -to put
Nebraska in the running for the
honors. The Scarlet and Cream has
not held a Valley basketball champion
ship for a number of years and
Husker followers are anxious to see
the Valley banner wave on the Corn
husker campus.
Just how the Huskers line up with
Big Ten basketball will also be readily
seen this season. Games are elated
with some of the strongest lives in
the Western Conference which will
afford an excellent comparison of the
brand of ball played in the two con
ferences. Former Huskers Are
Stars in Oklahoma
Former Nebraska athletes were In
the limelight during the recent grid
iron campaign in Oklahoma. Henry
Kendall College at Tulsa was the top
liner in the state conference race.
The Henry Kendall team was coached
by a former University of Nebraska
halfback. Francis Schmidt, who wore
Cornhuskei moleskins during the
coaching regime of "Kins" Cole, has
been head coach at Henry Kendall
during its three all-victorious years.
Other ex-Nebraskans. associated
with Schmidt at the Tulsa school,
were Harold McMahon, ex-Cornhusker
halfback and end, and Harry Brian,
former football and basketball captain
at Lincoln High School, and eon of
Lawson G. Brian, ex -state treasurer ot
Nebraska and resident of Lincoln.
McMahon was regular quarterback
at Kendall during the early stages or
the 1920 season. In the game be
tween Kendall and Oklahoma A. & M.
College, McMahon reeled off three
touchdowns when running around
end from punt formauon.
however, was a regular halfback In
every Kendall game of the season.
In selecting the all-state - team, the
newspaper writers of Oklahoma
awarded Brian a place on the first
all-star team.
