are wanted to assist the Cornhusker
managers in getting In individual pic
tures for the Junior and Senior sec
tions of the Cornhuskers during the
next few weeks.
It is the plan of the Cornhusker
editor to put this work on a competi
tive basis and "weed out" a few of the
freshmen from time to time as they
show a lack of interest in the work
and at the end of the year to announce
a list of the half dozen who have done
the best work as freshman editors of
the book.
Freshmen editors nre always In lint
for the better positions on the Corn
husker staff and the staffs of other
school publications if they have shown
a willingness to work during their
time on the Cornhusker. For this
reason, it is being left up to the stud
ents as to whether or not they wish
to work. All freshmen students who
wish to serve on the staff will be
given a chance to do so.
Should Report Today.
One of the editors of the Cornhusker
will be In tha Student Activities office
all afternoon today, Tuesday. Any
students wishing to do this work
should report there during the after
noon between 2 and 5 p. m. Tbe work
at present will be along the lines of
assisting in getting in pictures for the
book but later there will be a variety
of work inclcuding considerable writ

AT COM
Coach Schlssler's Tossers Work Out
On New Floor For First Time
Last Night.
PREPARE FOR GRINNELL.
Iowa School Is Coming To Lincoln
With Formidable Basket
Bail Team.
The Cornhusker basketball squad
took their first workout on the new
floor at the tftate Coliseum last night.
Coach Schlssler was very favorably
Iniressed with the work the men dis
played on the large floor and
promises the followers of the Husker
cage squad some surprises when the
Huskers mix with the Grinnell College
team on Fridaj and Saturday nights.
Grinnell has a good team and Coach
Schlssler is making no predictions as
to the outcome of the games. It will
be remembered that the Congregation
alists defeated the Huskers In a two
game series in 1918. This was the
lost time thi; Nebraska and Grinnell
1i)intet :n... The J:nrt.)l team h :
four of the men on this year's team
that defeated the Huskers in 1918.
Grinnell has one of the leading basket
ball fives of the schools in the state
of Iowa and ranked third place in the
Missouri Valley Conference in 1918.
Strong Team to Play Huskers.
The Red and Black team decisively
defeated the Nebraska Wesleyan team
when the Wesleyan team was con
sindered one of the best teams in
the state. The Methodists defeated
the Huskers and were in turn defeat
ed by the Grinnell quintet. The Red
and Black team that will invade Lin
coln Friday and Saturday will be prac
tically the same team that defeated
the Wesleyan and Husker teams two
years ago.
Previous to this time the Huskers
have not been able to display any real
basketball on account of the limited
floor space but Coach Schlssler ex
pects to show the spectators some
3ensational playing after the team gets
started on the new floor.
Lightest Basketball Team.
The present Husker quintet is tbe
lightest basketball five in the history
of the University of Nebraska. The
team that started against Illinois and
Illinois Wesleyan will not average
over 145 pounds. This is remarkable
for a University team. The sporting
critics who viewed the Huskers when
fhey played against the two Illinois
teams were very much surprised a?
the comparative size of the Huskers
ar.d their opponents.
M. F. Jones will act in the capacity
of referee and Fitzgerald will officiate
as umpire for the contests. These two
men have officiated at a number of
athletic contests at the University and
can be depended upon to make the
games fast and clean.
