HOLTZ SUGGESTS BARBEQUE LUNCH Alumni Secretary 3elieves Sphinx Should Have Regular "Roundup" Harold F. Holtz, secretary of the University of Nebraska Alumni asso ciation and an alumni Innocent, has written a letter to the members of Iron Sphinx, sophomore men's society, endorsing the plan for a freshman welcome week. Mr. Holtz suggest that the Sphinx hold a barbeque lunch rather than a box lunch. Absolute support of the Alumni as sociation in the venture is pledged by Mr. Holtz. His letter follows: . "To the Iron Sphinx. "Gentlemen: "I have been very much interested mi watching the Summer Xebraskan's accounts of your plans for a Fresh man Welcome week this fall. Permit me to say that I am heartU , 'n favor of the plan in general but i! seems to me that a barbeque lunch would be more appropriate at that time of the year than a box lunch an 1 probably more fitting for the occasion. "That there is need for some :uc".i tvent as this goes without saying. Kvery year some organization makes extremely elaborate plans for the en tertainment cf the freshmc on their arrival bin at the last moment the plans usually break down, il en tire responsibility falls back onto a lew .who could not under anv condi tion carry such a load. "It seems to me a very w ir'.'iwhile enterprise for your organization and. the matter of chief concern now eenis to be the actual execution of your plans. You can count on tiio suppoit of the Alumni Association in your en deavor to properly introduce the I'ni versity to the incoming p: n undents. "Yours very truly, "Harold F. Holtz, Secy."

Backed by good support and excellent catching by Shainholtz, Hall had little trouble in holding the Pedagogues to a lone hit and keeping a single teacher from crossing the plate. In the second game, the Basketba'l class won from the Football class by forfeit. For three innings the Pedagogues worked h;:rd to overcome a three run lead w hich the Xebraskan piled up in the second and third innings. Each of the last three frames saw a man on third when the final out was made. In each of the last two innings, neat catches of long flies to ieft field by Rodwell put the teachers aside, "lirown of the Pedagogues pitched erratic baseball.

WALL IN ARMORY BEING REMOVED Partition Between Chapel and Gym nasium Torn Out Will Use For Cage Games In order to nmke a floor which wiU he suitable for varsity basketball games, the partition between th chapel and the armory is being re ni( veil. Work on the tearing down JACK BEST NOW IN CALIFORNIA Athletic Department Receives Second Letter From "Nebraska's Grand Old Man' Jack Best, "Nebraska's Grand Old M;.n," is enjoying himself in fine shape at Pasadena, Calif., says his daughter Mrs. M. R. Denton, who U accompanying Jack on the trip ar ranged for him by the University "X" club. The second letter received from Jack was written to Herbert Gish at the athletic department. It was sent from Pasadena as fol lows: "Father and the rest arrived safe. He feels just fine. "In Salt Lake City it was 103 about noon so you see Salt Lake ought to grow fat on the tourists. It's a'good place for fat people. "The blocks, there are like ttwo blocks at home. 1 asked where the city ticket office was and they said four blocks up the street. Frankie and 1 started out. It was all up hil We found it without any trouble. U took the fellow an hour to figure the rate out. He said it was the first one he had figured for over a year. "We were right across the street from the temple. Frankie and 1 went over to hear the organ. It was beau tiful. Frank sat so still. He never moved a muscle, it thrilled him so. "Father said our organ at horn was the best and he didn't care to go with us. "It's a good thing we don't have; to ride camels through the hot places for I don't think Pad would make a good arab, do you? "Dusty Push took fatiier in the enr around the university grounds and up the canyon. Then Mr. Dun took him ever the city. While they were rid ing I took the children to Salt Lake. Father didn't want to go. He was well entertained so 1 didn't have to worry about him. "Dusty Pugh took us to the station at 11:30 so we got along fine. Father likes Salt Lake but he loves the places out here. Got some pictures of him sitting on the beach watching the bathers. I don't think his eyes both ered him very much. He's just like a child with a new toy and he likes all the thrills. I am surprised. "I think I could fill a book witn all the things he says." of the wall has been started and the floor should be finished b-Vore Septem ber 1. Besides making the armory suitable, for basketball competition, the removal of the wall will so increase the size of the room that student gatherings can be held there without confusion. In the past there has been no build ing suitable for the holding of studen. rallies. When the partition is torn away and a large supportinc beam, similar to those now in the" armory, placed there, the playing floor will be moved . farther west. The armory floor, when the parti tion is removed, will be a regulation basketball court. The grand stands on the sides are to be removed. The two ends will be filled with specta tors' seats. T0 Have Folding Doors Doors will be placed between the armory and chapel where the wall is being removed. These doors will be of the folding kind so that they may be removed during games but th? regular two rooms maintained in the armory as in the past at other times. Xo more games are to be played at the coliseum by the varsity, accord ing to the present plans. The arm ory floor will be used throughout tho year. During the state high school basketball tournament, however, the class A and B games will be played at the coliseum. Change of the varsity carie floor from the coliseum to the armory is made necessary by the fact that fo few students attended games this lait year that the expenses of maintaining the large court could not be met. Tho first year of the coliseum use for games a different story was presented. Dances followed each game. A uni versity ruling now prohibits this and the attendance last winter fell off materially. It is believed that the armory can be so arranged that all spectators can be accomodated. 12 CROSS COUNTRY SWEATERS PURCHASED Twelve jerseys for the use of the 1922 cross country team have been purchased by the athletic department.
