inter-frat basketball tournament. The
A. T. O. team defeated the Pi Phi
quintet by the score of 18 to 17 and
the Delts won from the Sig Alph men
by the count of 15 to 12.
The finals for the championship of
the Greek organizations will be played
on tomorrow afternoon in the Armory
at 2:30. The A. T. O. team will meet
the Delts in what promises to be one
of the greatest- battles ever pulled off
on the Armory floor. Both organi
zations are represented by strong
teams and have a large number of
backers.
The first contest of the afternoon
was between the Medics and the A
T. O. team. Both teams played ex
ceptionally fast basketball and were
evenly matched. The score at the end
of the first period stood 9 to 8 with
the A. T. O. men on the long end. The
second half proved to be a battle on
both sides with scoring honors even.
The most exciting contest was
played between the Delts and Sig
Alph quintets. The Sig Alph team
presented a formidable appearance
with Weller, Thomson, and Swanscn
filling positions on the quintet. The
downfall of the Sig Alphs was brought
about by Gass, the Delt center, who
sunk two baskets from the middle of
the floor in the last two minutes of
play and winning the game for the
Delt team.
The first half found the score 7 to
3 with the Delts on the long end. Both
teams started the second half with a

JUNIORS AND FRESHMEN
IN INTER CLASS MEET
Senior and Sophomore Girls Fall
In First Round Finals
Played Saturday.
The Juniors and the Freshmen won
in the first round of the girls' inter
class basketball tournament. The
Juniors had the lead on the Sopho
mores from the beginning .and took
the game with the score of 28 to 15.
Ruby Damme, the Sophomore center,
was unable to play during the last
half of the game and Dorothy Whelp
ley substituted. Eleanor Snell and
Nannie Roberts piled up the scores
for the Juniors. Adelheit Dcttman,
Sophomore forward and captain, di
vided the basket laurels with Bessie
Epstein, the other Sophomore for
ward. The Sophomores played a
good game but the close guarding by
the Juniors kept them from scoring.
The Senior-Freshman game was
evenly matched with neither team
gaining much headway. The game
was tied at 6 to 6. The Freshmen
won the game when Marie Snavely,
Freshman forward, made a score just
after the decision to play off the tie.
The Freshman team was handicapped
because of the absence of several of
their members. Mary Shepherd,
Senior forward, was the star point

HARRIETTE FORD
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Harriette Ford, '22, of Bertrand,
narrowly escaped death Tuesday eve
ning during a swimming class in the
High School pool. She was attempt
ing to swim the length of the pool
on her back and in some unaccount
able manner, the splashing of water
against her face checked her progress
when she was almost in the center
of the pool.
Before she could regain her stride
she had gone under three times.
After a desperate attempt to hold to
a pole that was thrown to her from
girls at the edge, she was finally
rescued by some of the swimmers. It
took a number of minutes to revive
her.
HEAR MAJOR DOUGLAS
Marcu-3 Poteet and Professor Frank
furter Also Addresses Military
Convocation Thursday.
A military convocation for the
cadets of the military department o!"
the University Thursday afternoon
was addressed by Representative
Douglas, former major in the United
States army and the National Guard.
Chancellor Avery presided, introtiuc
ing the speakers. In addition to Major
Douglas' address, short talks were de
live-red by Marcus Poteet, of the
American Legion, who talked about
experiences at Fort Snelling, and
Professor Frankfurter of the Officers
Reserve Corps.
The Chancellor pointed out to the
cadets that by taking the full cadet
work of the department, including the
summer camps at Fort Snelling, a stu
dent would receive from the govern
ment about $600 in clothing and pay.
"This $600 if placed at interest would
amount to about $4,000 by the time
your oldest son is ready to go to col
lege," Chancellor Avery said.
Major Douglas told the cadets
about his three periods of service in
the army and what they have meant
to him. His enlistments covered pa
riods in the Mexican, Spanish and
the late world war. "I hope you will
preserve your military records and
go on with your training. It will give
you a jump on the other fellow if
war ever comes. The reatest inspha
tion is the chance, that possibility,
that in some day, in some future
time, it may be ourprivilege to go
out and defend against her enemies
that country we love so well."
Marcus Poteet, who spent a period
'n the training camp at Snelling be
fore receiving his commission in the
army, mentioned the benefits to b?
derived from a vacation in one of the
cadet camps. "For a "summer vacation
you can find no better place. It will
profit you physically, morally and fi
nancially and in every way increase
your well being."
A misunderstanding as to the place
n which the- convocation was to be
held .caused some confusion. The oris
in:il place designated was the Temple
theater, and this being 'occupied at
that hour the speakers were lorced
to transfer to the Social Science audi
torium.

NEBRASKA WRESTLERS
TO GLASR WITH IOWA
Huskers and Hawkeyes Will Meet
in Final Event of the Season
for Scarlet and Cream.
Nebraska grapplers will meet the
Iowa mat men in a dual meet at Iowa
City in the last dual meet of the
season for the Husker athletes. Dr.
Clapp, coach of the Nebraska team
has had his men working hard the
past few weeks in preparation for the
Iowa invasion and feels confident that
the Huskers will bring home another
victory.
Iowa has one of the greatest wrest
ling teams that ever represented that
school and promise to give the Husk
ers a real battle. The Iowa mat men
have already defeated Illinois, who
won the Western Intercollegiate
championship last year and secured a
victory over the Minnesota wrestlers
also.
Practically the same men will rep-
iesent the Scarlet and Cream against
the Iowa men as went against the
Ames and Oklahoma A. & M. teams
Bengston will wrestle in the 115-pound
class with Power acting in the 125
pound division. Long is scheduled to
perform in the 135-pound group with
Wertz or Reed wrestling in the 145
pound division. Gayle Pickwell will
be the Husker representative in the
158-pound class and Troutman and
Captain Hoyt will wrestle in the 175
and heavyweight divisions.
Following the Iowa meet Dr. Clapp
will start preparations for the West
ern Intercollegiate meet which will
be held at Bloomington. Nebraska
was well represented last year in this
meet and should make an equally
good showing this year.
PILFERING FROM STUDENTS.
Hoagland Says This Is What It Is and
Statement Obtained Reconsidera
tion of Bill.
The Senate committee on educa
tion recommended that S. F. 325, by
Hoagland, be indefinitely postponed
and the report was adopted, but the
introducer of the bill obtained recon
sideration and the bill was referreJ
back to tho committee on education.
zHoagland got this concession by
stating that he had some facts that
might be startling for the senate.
"These facts relate to what I term
petty pilfering from university stu
dents. I do not want to present them
to the senate, but will have to do if
the committee does not give a hear-
ing."
The bill introduced by Hoagland
which was the subject of this action,
provides that non-resident pupils at
tho university shall pay the actual cost
of instruction instead of fixed regis
tration fees.
E TO
BATTLE HERS
Nebraska Team and Cyclones Will
Meet in First of Two-Game Series
in Coliseum Tonight.
IOWA TEAM IS STRONG
Games this Week Will Mark Close
of Basketball Season for
Schissler's Team.
The Husker basketball quintet will
meet the Ames team in the first
game of the series tonight at the
Coliseum. The Iowans arrived in
Lincoln yesterday and took a good
workout on the local floor last eve
ning. Coach Schissler feels confident that
the Nebraska quintet can defeat the
Aggies in both contests but expects
a hard battle in both games. Prac
tically the same team will be used
against the Iowa men that faced the
Colgate team last week. Captain
Bailey and Newman will work the
guard positions with Bekins at the
pivot position. Smith, Carman and
Warren will probably alternate at
the forwards.
The two games with the Ames
aggregation will be the last chance
the followers of the Huskers will
have to see the 1920-21 basketball
team in action. Director Luehring is
planning for two of the biggest
crowds of the season at the closing
games.
Inter-Class Basketball.
The first round of the inter-class
series will be played off Monday of
next week. The Freshmen will meet
the Juniors and the Sophomores will
mix with the Seniors.
Interest in the class games is a
little slow in developing with the
inter-frat contests on but Coach
Schissler feels that all of the classes
will be well represented in the con
tests. State High School Tournament.
Drawing and classifications of the
various teams entered for the State
High School classic were completed
last night late and will be announced
in the Sunday edition of the Daily
Nebraskan.

Coach Schulte will leave this even
ing with Dale, Wright, and Deerinn
for the Illinois Relay Carnival at
Urbana tomorrow. The relay team

make the trip.
In competing in the Illinois meet.
Nebraska will meet some of the fast
est men in the country in the differ
ent events. Deering will enter the

ors here. The Husker athlete won
first at the K. C. A. C. meet last week
in Kansas City in the 50 yard dash
from a large field of entries.
Wright will be entered in the hurdle
events. Wright was the victor over
Williams of Missouri in the prelimi
naries at the K. C. A. C. meet but
had to be satisfied with second place
in the finals. Dale did not take part
in the Kansas City meet but can bo
depended upto to bring home some
honors. The big Nebraskan will be
in the the weight event. Dale won
the Missouri Valley shot put last year
and has been showing good form tb3
