ONI NIGHT IS
BIG SUCCESS
Good Audience Greet Player
at Both Orpheum and ,
Temple Theater.
ccANDAL-MONGERING
IS CHIEF PASTIME
Enthusiastic, applauding audiences
greeted the annual presentation of
University Night, stunt mgnt ana
fan-feat sponsored by the University
Y. M. C. A., at the Orpheum and
Temple theaters Saturday evening.
"Is We or Ain't We," the Tassel
act, symbolizing a hypothetical
"swinging" party somewhere, with
various and sundry campus charac
ters imitated, with delving into the
mysteries of scandal with the aid of
two singing "school marms," was
easily the headliner of the evening.
Corn-Cobs and Dramatic Club
skits were exceptionally well re
ceived. Ireland and Young in their
farcial Russian' dance, Kelly and
Crouse in the monkey fandango, and
the well-trained chorus were the ef
fective numbers of the Corn-Cob act.
The portrayal of a "typical" meeting
of the Student Council, with imita
tion of members, and no little scan
dals uncovered by activity of the de
tective force, made up the lines of
the Dramatic club skit.
"Where Men are Men and So are
Women," curtain skit presented by
Frank Mielenz, Lyle Holland, and
Lois Butler, featuring the eccentric
dancing and costume of the two who
joggled together, scored greater ap
plause than any other.
An orchestra act, "The Major-Minor
Revue," with Harriett Cruise, "Al"
Gould, "Sis" Champe, was a little out
of the line of the rest of the pro
gram, being more in the character of
straight vaudeville. It seemed to be
a diverting and interesting act.
The Engineers act, with a repre
sentation of Eva Faye, and her won
der mind, was also one of scandal
mongering nature.
Judd Crocker and George John
ston in their curtain skit, "Mike and
Ike They Look the Same!" had a
circus of their own and ran rampant
over the stage. Bill Norton and the
Goat, the Prologue, led off the pro
grams at both theaters. Showing of
slides on which were printed bits of
news about people everyone knows
took up the time between acts.
Bennett S. Martin, '25, Oregon,
Mo., was general chairman of the
University Night committee. Clay
ton Goar, '26, Kansas, City, Mo., was
business manager and Marion Wood
ard, '26, Shenandoah, la., was secre
tary. RIFLE TEAII SCORE
IS AGAIN LOWERED
Last Five Men to Fire Pull
Down Average of Team
Considerably.
The best five men shooting on the
Nebraska rifle team last week failed
to keep up the record made by the
first five who fired, and as a result
the team score for the week remained
at 3604, the mark established the
week before. An increase of seven
points was made by the shooters in
the top division of the Nebraska
team, but the others fell down just
that much below their marks of last
week.
Harold Shafer, who established a
new season record for the four-posi
tion shooting, was high man on the
team with a score of 873. He was
followed closely by E. L. Plotts who
made a score of 872. Dale Skinner
dropped to eighth place, and Mark
Fair, who fired the first 100 prone
of the season, failed to make the
high-ten team on account of low
scores in the kneeling and standing
positions.
The firing was against the Univer
sity of Nevada, Kansas Agricultural
College, University of West Virginia,
Knox College, and Culver Military
Academy. Seventeen men competed
during the week for places on the
team.
The corps area shooting was com
pleted last week, and the results for
the four stages of firing will be pub
lished in the Daily Nebraskan Tres-
ay. Hearst trophy match firing "trill
commence in the near future. Fre ih
en will be eligible.

LEADERS IN SCORING
(Special to The Nebraskan)
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 28. The Ne
braska cage quintet defeated Creigh
ton . University here tonight, 15 to
11, before a crowd of 3,500.
It was the fastest game of the
Husker season and the invaders
flashed a steady, well-working offen
sive and a sure defense which won
the game in the last half. Creighton
led, 6 to 4, at half-time.
Defenses of both teams were tight
and scoring was at a premium. Ne
braska held Creighton sixteen min
utes of the first period without a
score, but the home team came
through with three baskets as the
half ended. The Huskers cinched
the game in the last half, with a
four-point lead and two minutes to
play.

Total Number of Cases Among
University Students
Reaches Four.
AGAIN REQUEST, ALL
TO BE VACCINATED
Two more cases of small pox de
veloped Friday, bringing the total
number of University students who
have the disease to four. They were
taken to the isolation hospital Friday
afternoon,
"Every student must be vaccinat
ed at once," said Dr. R, A. Lyman
of the Pharmacy College, "in order
to stop the spread of the disease be
fore it becomes worse."
About 1400 hundred students, em
ployees, and members of the faculty
have been vaccinated since the first
case was reported. About one third
of the total registration had been
vaccinated before they entered the
University. The city health depart
ment reports that about one hundred
students have been vaccinated there
since the first case. According to
Dr. Lyman, there are still about two
thousand students who have not been
vaccinated and who should do so at
once in order to protect themselves
and to prevent the spread of the dis
ease.
The four University students who
have contracted the disease are:
Walter Hoppe, '28, (Dental), Hol-
drege.
Lloyd Faschtman, '27, (Pharm
acy), Callaway.
Reginald Eichelberger, '26, (Phar
macy), Idaho Falls, Idaho.
James Hakerdon, '27, (Pharmacy)
Coleridge.
Three other persons in Lincoln
have the disease, one of them being
a business college student one a
worker of the new state capital, and
one living in the east part of the
city.
Vaccination by private physicians
is recommended as they can guard
against the only real danger, that of
secondary infection. However, the
University 'clinic in the Pharmacy
building, or the City Health office,
located above -the Fire Department
building, will vaccinate those who
apply, free of charge, with all anti
septic precautions.
Certificates of vaccination should
be carefully preserved as they may
become a requisite for entrance to
classes should the disease spread
much further and make such a course
necesary. btudents who nave become
exposed and have already contract
ed the disease, if vaccinated, will
suffer only a mild attack.
FORCED TO FORFEIT
TWO RIFLE MATCHES
Failure of Members of Wom
en's Rifle Team to Fire
Causes Loss.
Two rifle matches against the Uni
versity of Maine, and Michigan, were
forfeited last week by the Nebraska
women's rifle team, because enough
girls did not fire during the week to

the matches. Only cght women fired
during the week.
A five-member team was picked
from those who fired, for the match
es with the University of Nevada,
and South Dakota. The four-posi
tion score of the high five was 1543,
against the University of South Da
kota. The two-position score against
the University of Nevada, was 923.
Captain Eggers, director of the
rifle gallery, said yesterday that if
any more matches have to be forfeit
ed on account of the girls tailing to
come and fire, the rest of the sched
ule will have to be" cancelled.
The high score of the week was
made in the prone position by. lsa
belle Lawless who shot a target that
scored 98. Dorothy Abbott made the
highest four-position score. Her mark
