DELTA UPSILON
WINS CAGE MEET
Delta Tau Delta Counters Are
Forced to Take Short End
of 18 to 12 Tally.
CLARK SMAHA HIGH MAN
WITH THIRTEEN POINTS
Delta Upsilon won the interfra
temity basketball tournament by
beating Delta Tau Delta 18 to 12
Wednesday afternoon in the hardest
fought game of the tournament. The
Delts were outplayed in every de
partment of the game. It was the
general belief that thy would come
back in the second half but they
failed.
Both fraternities receive skins,
Delta Upsilon holds the silver bas
ketball until the finals next year.
Thii is the fifth year in which the
olver ball has been awarded. Delta
Tau Delta won it in 1920 and 1921,
Alpha Sigma Phi in 1922, and Sig
na Alpha Epsilon last year. Any
fraternity which wins the tournament
three times keeps the ball.
The D. U.'s played a game far su
perior to those they had previously
played. The Delts did not seem to
be op to their true form. The D.
U.'s showed good coaching and prac
tice in their teamwork and bead
work, against which the Delts were
powerless.
In the first five minutes of play
neither team scored, the ball went
from one end of the floor to the
other. Boh teams had several tries
at free throws, but failed to count.
Smaha, the D. U. forward, broke
the ice and made the first basket.
Then Holland made a free throw for
the Delts first point.
This operation was repeated and
the score stood 4 to 2. Meileflze tied
the score with a field goal. This was
the only time when the Delts even
tied the score during the whole gam.
Clark Smaha made his third goal
which was followed by a well-earned
basket made by Woustaupal, put
ting the D. U.s in the lead again. It
was then George's turn to make one,

PLENTY OF OIL LEFT
YET SAYS SCHRAMM
Geological Surrey Shows That
Many Billions of Barrels ,
Still in Earth.
"A survey conducted by the United
States Geological Survey jointly with
the various state geological, surveys
reveals that nine and a half billion
barrels of oil yet remain in the
earth.V said Prof. E. F. Schramm of
the department of geology in a lec
ture on "The Oil Shales of South
western Wyoming," at the monthly
meeting of Sigma Xi in the general
lecture room of Bessey hall Tuesday
evening. Prof. H. G. Deming of th
chemistry department presided.
Professor Schramm explained that
the oil supply of this country may be
exhausted in twenty years and that
last year we imported 4374 billion
gallons of petroleum and exported
3373 billion gallons. He stated that
the overproduction of oil in this coun
try existed for only a short period
during 1923.
Slides were shown describing the
rich oil shale districts of Wyoming,
Utah, and Colorado. The richest oil
shale district in Wyoming is located
near the town ' of Green River, he
said. This shale yields from ten to

MORTARBOARD PLAN
ENTIRELY SEPARATE
Rumors that the sketch of a pos
sible point system for the Univer
sity of Nebraska that appeared in the
Daily Nebraskan Wednesday was in
tended to be a definite plan, was
officially discredited at a meeting
of the Student Council Wednesday
evening. The Student Council en
dorsed the plan for women worked
out by Mortarboard and the W. S.
G. A. This plan is to be submitted
to women at the coming election.
Two ballots will be taken on the
point system at the general election.
The first wil be for the adoption of
the ptan suggested by Mortarboard.
The second will be a general vote of
the sudent body on the question of
approving the general idea of a point
system for both men and women.
The plan for women represents a
year of intensive study of this ques
tion by members of Mortarboard and
the W. S. G. A. and is designed to
distribute important offices in wom
en's activities more uniformly among
those best fitted to hold them, rep
resentatives of these two organiza
tions stated yesterday. The pro
posed plan in full appears in this
issue of he Daily Nebraskan.

SELFISHNESS CAUSE OF
DIVORCE SAYS JUDGE
Magistrate of Juvenile and Do
mestic Relations Court Is
Forum Speaker.
Judge W. M. Morning of the city
juvenile and domestic relations court
spoke yesterday noon before 100 peo
ple at the World Forum luncheon at
the Grand hotel. The talk was on
experience gained by Judge Morning
from the cases that come before him
and was interesting because of the
human interest stories and practical
lessons that were included in it. The
principle stressed in the talk was
that most domestic troubles origin
ated from the selfishness of married
people and their unwillingness to
make the sacrifices that married life
entails.
Hamilton Holt, editor of the Inde
pendent magazine, has been secured
for the luncheon next week. Mr. Holt
will speak on the subject "America
and the World." The talk will deal
mostly with the league of nations.
The continued popularity of the
luncheons is no doubt due to the cal
bre of the speakers obtained for
them, according to Paul W. McCaf
ree, student Y. M. C. A. secretary.
He added that the wide diversity of
subjects and speakers also was an
attraction to students.

at 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith hall. The
action was taken as the result of ru
mors that such a publication was to
appear.
Final revision of the- University
Night skits was also made by the
committee. The regular Bale of
tickets starts today at 11:45 on the
first floor of the Temple building.
The annual performance will be
held in the city auditorium February

sold according to Harold Edgerton,

contain ten separate acts.
Up until this year, the "Evening
Shun," a scandal sheet published by
the Sigma Delta Chi journalistic fra
ternity has always made its appear
ance on University Night. After its
appearance last year the publication
was discontinued by a vote of Sigma
Delta Chi.
Reports have been heard around
the campus that an anonymous scan
dal publication was to appear as
usual. The committee in is meeting
last night resolved that all preven
tions shall be taken to see that none
is circulated.
The committee is to have the en
trances of the auditorium guarded
to see that no' one enters with pack
ages which may contain papers. The
light switches will be cosely guarded
to prevent the turning off of lights
so that the distribution can be made.
The resolution follows: Be it re
solved, That since the University
; Night committee has decided not to
authorize or sanction the publication
of a scandal sheet as part of the
1924 University Night program, the
committee announces that it dis
claims all responsibility for any such
anonymous or unauthorized publica
tion should it appear.
The notification received from the
faculty committee was on student
organizations said that the resolution
it passed last year holding student
members of the University Night
committee responsible for the mate
rial in skits, was still in effect.

who are to participate in the skits
has been called for Monday evening
at 5 o'clock, probably in Social Sci
ence 101. At this meeting instruc
tions will be given to the actors.
