OPEN HOUSE Various Departments Provide In teresting Exhibits of Classes of Work in College. Two hundred and fifty peop.e vis ited the open house at the home eco nomics building on the college of ag riculture campus Thursday evening. The foods and nutrition division had interesting exhibits in the laboratories emphasizing "Food for Health.'' Sev eral complete day's dietaries for child. ren of various ages were displayed Many valuable posters and weighing charts held the interest of the vis itors. In the home management labora tory were shown house lans drawn by students, illustrations of modern adaptions of houses from historian types. A large chart defining the many tasks of the homemaker was dis played. Art and Design. The art and design exhibition showed each step studied as applied to the home by using the fundament als of design and color. A number of students demonstrated the practical side of art by the painting and re novating of, chairs and tables. The demonstration of wood block printing Has Change; ies was indicated last week when a group of girls secured a Ford and tied three rockers on the rear for use as sleds. By this ingenious means, they furnished themselves with many min utes of hilarity but the fun all end ed when all the rockers went to the junk heap being unable to 6tand the strain. Even skating has been spoiled by Boreus who has failed to properly work the bellows and send down weather cold enough to keep the ice strong. The municipal swimming pool and Electric park furnished excellent skat ing facilities so long as the Weather Man stayed on their side but when that old personage deserted them for the realms of Old Sol, they were help less. Now all they can do is to await another change of heart on the part of Old Man Weather that will again place a thick sheet of smooth lei where the water Is now.

MISSOURI TIGERS TO BE NEXT OPPOSITION Grinnell Tossers to Play Saturday tvening Missouri Played Pikers Last Night. Special Dispatch to The Nebraskan. AMES, la., Jan. 9. Nebras ka's cage crew defeated the Ames basket tossers, 21 to 1, in a fast game on the local court tonight. The close guard ing and accurate basket throw ing of the Huskers proved the undoing of the Cyclone five, who fought up to the final whistle. Following the Ames gi;me last night, the Husker basket flippers complete a strenuous week with two contests on the local floor. Nebraska plays Missouri, concede! the valley cham pionship in 1921, on Friday night, and meets the Grinnell quintet on tV.e fol lowing evening. These teams are re ported to be strong, and these games are expected to provide a rare treat for the followers of the Scarlet and Cream five. The Missouri cage team is ftrong this year. The Tigers opened the sea son by trimming the Drake Bulldogs, 37 to 25, last Saturday. The T'gers squad tutored by Coach Ruby, has three veterans of the 1921 champion ship five on the team. The quintet is captained by Bond, a veteran guard of exceptional ability. Monday night the Tigers played the Washington Pikers, and the score of this game is expected to give the Scarlet and Sream flippers a line on the strength of the Tiger five. The Grinnell five, which plays the Huskers Saturday night, has played three conference games already, losing all of them. The Pioneers took the road last week and lost a trio of con tests to the Kansas Aggies, Kansas, and the Oklahoma Sooners. However, the Maltese Cross five has improved, due to the practice gained in these games, and can be counted on to give the Huskers a stiff tussle. The finish of the first lar in the Val ley conference race finds five teams Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and the Kansas Aggies tied for top position in the percentage column. The Valley race will get well under way this week. Besides the three Husker games, six other conference games are on the schedule. Drake plays Kansas at Lawrence tonight, Grinnell Friday night, and Oklahoma' at Norman Wednesday night. The Ames five will tangle with the Okla homa quintet Friday while the Wash ington Pikers mix with the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan Saturday.
