day Fray.
START SEMI-FINALS
MONDAY AFTERNOON
The third round of the interfra
ternity basketball tourney was played
on the Armory floor Friday after
noon before an enthusiastic crowd of
spectators. Delta Tau Delta and Phi
Alpha Delta emerged victorious, leav
ing four teams still in the running.
The semi-finals will be played Mon
day afternoon.
In the first tilt P. A. D. won a loose
but fast game from Kappa Sigma by
a 12 to 7 score. The lawyers seemed
to have a defense that their oppon
ents could not solve, and also excelled
in passing. Norton, a P. A. D., was
high point man, making 7 of his
teams 12 points, registering 3 goals
from the floor. The Kappa Sigs were
held to a lone field basket, made in
the first half, which ended 6 to 5 in
thj winners favor.
The second fray, between Delta
Tau Delta and Alpha Sigma Phi, was
a fast and well played game, feat
ured by the close guarding of both
teams and the accurate shooting of
the winners.
The game was closely contested
during the first half, which ended 1 1
to 7 in favor of the Delts., In the
second period the Alpha Sigs came
back with a strong spurt, which was
short lived. At this point in the
game Mielenz and Johnson, of the
Delt team, went on a scoring spree
and put their team in front with a
big lead, the game ending 24 to 12.
Olds was high point man for the
winners with four field goals to his
credit. Mielenz and Holland also
played well. Kamm played a strong
game for the losers, making 2 field
goals and 1 free throw. The Alpha
Sigs had eight fouls called on them
to the Delts seven.
On the semi-final slate the Delta
Tan Delta team is matched with he
P. A. D. team for the 4 o'clock game,
and Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Up
silon are matched for the second
game at 4:20.

Too much praise cannot be given
Mrs. Carlisle Logan-Jones for her
charming interpretation of Kathleen,
the delightful little Irish girl. Kath

Kathleen.
Harte Jenks, playing a dual role as

The scenery and the lighting ef

ANNOUNCE REDUCTION
IN CORNHUSKER PRICE
Increased Subscription List
and Lower Contract Rates
Make Rebate Possible.
YEARBOOK SALES LARGE
A refund of 50 cents on the sale
price of the 1924 Cornhusker was
announced by the business staff of
the yearbook Saturday afternoon.
This reduction in price of the annual
was made possible by the large sub
scription and lower rates on the con
tract work.
This rebate affects all purchasers
who have reserved their books or who
will have dpne so by April 1, at which
time the order will be placed with
the printers. The business office of
the Cornhusker is open each after
noon from 1 to 6 o'clock to receive
subscriptions.
Sales of the "The Cornhusker of
Progress," according to business man
ager, David G. Richardson, are much
larger than in previous years. This
accounts for the lowering of the
price. The refund will be made at
the time the book is issued, to those
persons who have paid the full price,
those who have made the first pay
ment will be required to pay but
$1.50 instead of $2.00.
Work as a whole on the yearbook
is taking definite shape and every
thing points to an exceptionally rep
resentative annual. Most of the
pictures have been taken and many
have been .sent to the engravers.
There are still a few of the groups
who have not made their appoint
ments and reservations.
Photographs for societies and clubs
can be scheduled with the photogra
pher at the campus studio and the
space reservation made with the bus
iness manager in the Cornhusker of

half the score was 12 to 10 in the
Huskers favor.
The success with which the Husk
ers found the hoop on their long
shots in the second period fairly be
wildered the Pikers who were un
albe to head the lead held by the
Huskers at the end of the first pe
riod. Black found the basket in a shoot
ing spree in the final minutes and
raised the score from 26-24 to the
final count. Goodson was high man

credited with a 31 to ll victory over
the Tigers, the worst defeat a Mis
souri basketball team has suffered
in five years.
At the end of the first half the
Nebraska aggregation held an 18 to
6 advantage, and after several min
utes of play in the second half, dur
ing which the Huskers continued to
pile up points, Coach Kline substi
tuted his entire second string, this
combination finishing the game.
Coach Bond of the Tigers also sub
stituted his second team after his
varsity failed to score.
Goodson was high point man with
four field baskets to his credit, all of
which were shots from near the cen
ter of the floor. Buchner was high
point man for the M sourians, mak
ing six of the Tigers even points.
Matmen Defeat Jayhawk.
The Nebraska wrestling team de
feated the Kansas University mat
men in a dual meet st Lawrence Fri
day night by an 18 to 5 count. All
the bouts were fast, but several of
the Jayhawk athletes showed lack of
conditioning. Kansas lone counter
came as the result of a fall in the
heavyweight division, Hill of the Kan
sas team winning from Hasma of
Nebraska in 6 minutes, 59 seconds.
The match between Robertson of
Nebraska and Sparrowhawk of Kan
sas in the 175 pound class was the
