BASKET TOSSERS
TO MEET
Husker Cagesters Will Invade
Manhattan to Meet the Kan
sas Fanners.
FIRST GAME BETWEEN
THE TWO MO. V. TEAMS
Same Lineup as in the Grinnell
Game Expected in Tonight's
Basket Contest.
The Nebraska basket tossers invade
the Kansas Aggie camp today, meet
ing the farmer crew on the latter's
coure at Manhattan tonight. Although
these two teams have not. yet met
this season, the Huskers are expected
to have little difficulty in deposing
of the Aggie quintet, who have won
but two conference games this year.
However the Kansas team has been
strengthened by a pair i,f likely look
ing cagers, Mckee and Dobson, and
may spring a surprise on the Scarlet
and Cream flippers. The Cornhusker
squad of goal shooters left this morn
ing for Manhattan. The Cornhusker
cagesters, who came back strong last
week and defeated the Grinneii Pio
neers, 28 to 25, in a close battle, nf
ter losing to Ames the week before
by the lop-sided score of 26 to 7,
have been working hard in prepara
tion for the Farmer contest. The
Huskers' scoring ability, woefully
lacking in the Ames game, showed
an improvement in the Grinnell con
test, due .to several changes in tht
Husker lineup.
Coach Frank is expected to use the
s. 'me lineup that triumphed over the
Pioneer five last week, with Tipton
nd Captain Smith at the forward po
sitions. Warren at the pivot position,
and Riddlesberger and Russell hold
ing down the guard berths.
Farmer Lineup.
The Kansas Aggie lineup has been
strengthened by the addition of Mc
Kee and Dobson. Dobson, although
he has only played In three games, ,
has made sixteen points. The Aggie
linup will probably be as follows:
Williams and McKee, forwards; Dob
son, center; and Hahn and Ccweil,
guards.
Eight Valley games are on the card
this week. Besides the Nebraska
Kansas Aggie contest ton'ght, the
Kansas U. five meets the fast Ames
quintet at Ames. Wednesday the Jay-
hawkers invade the Drake camp to
battle with the Bulldogs. Thursday
on the same trip, Kansas meets Grin
nell, while Missouri clashes with the
Washington Pikers. Satw-'j- Ne
braska battles the .aKe Buildog3
for the first time this year. On the
same day Ames p ays at Grinneii, ard
Washington journeys to Norman to
meet the Oklahoma Soonrs.
Miss Olive Hartley who was grad
uated from the university last sprins,
has gone to Council Bluffs to take
up Red Cross work there. While In
school Miss Hartley was a Black
Masque and a member of the Pal
ladian society.

School Campus.
EVERYONE URGED TO
GIVE SACRIFICIALLY
Tables to le Placed in All Main
Euildings to Receive Stu
dent Subscriptions.
The student friendship drive, for
the purpose of obtaining funds for the
did of forckn students who are in
the famine area of Europe, opens to
d.i on the campus. The committee
in charge of the campaign, which is
to he cnnied through on an individ
ual basis throughout, expects to en
list the aid of every university stu
dent and make them feci the individ
ual responsibility which sureiy rests
on them.
Tables will he placed in all main
campus buildings and each student is
expected to subscribe at least two
dollars and more if it is at all pos
sible. A tag will be given to eacii
person who subscribes. An opportu
nity to make pledges payable March
i 'Rill be given to those students who
io unable to pay cash.
The horrible sufferings, depriva
tions, and hardships which 1he Eu
rope an students are ow unde. going,
are being lessened only by the gca
erous holp offered by American uni
versities such as the University of Ne
braska. The starving students ac
cept the aid given them as an obli
gation, the first to be met when con
ditions will permit. Other English
sreaking nations will do what they
can, but the principal load must be
borne by the United States because
she has far more unspent resources
than any other country in the world.
The aid given by American students
w:"l do more than anything else to
build up a strong international tie
between the United States and for
eign countries.
The European student relief scheme?
has been endorsed by prominent men
in every country. Universities over
the entire country have subscribed
thousands. Will the University of
Nebraska be at the top? This is up
to every individual student.
The committee announced in Sun

charge of the campaign today. Cam
