r .; REFERENDUM VOTE
Members of the Board of Control
Are Greatly Pleased Over Re
turn to Old Plan
Xebrnska high schools will return
to a plan of a large central state
tournament this year. Last year the
plan of holding district tournaments
was inaugurated and it met with only
mediocre success. In a vote taken
last wck of nil tho high schools in
the state that participated in the
tournaments it was voted more than
two to one to return to the old form
of tournament.
March 4, 5, and 6 are the dates
set for the 1926 state tournament
and it is expected that all former
tourney records will be broken in
the number of entrants.
Members of Board Pleated
Acting Director Gish of the
University and members of the
board of control were greatly
pleased over the results of the refer
endum vote which switched the!
stauts of the meet from the district'
to the old state plan. j
"I am pleased to see that the
proposition was carried by such a
great majority. It was the largest
referendum vote ever polled, which
indicated that the association mem
bers were exceptionally interested
' in the project I believe the Uni
versity's proposal to underwrite the
railroad fare of the contesting teams
turned the tide," Supt W. J. Bra
ham of North Platte declared follow-
in? the board meeting in Omaha Sat-!
nrday.
The new University Field House
will be capable of taking care of
most of the games, This new build-)
ins has five regulation courts. I
Other courts available if necessary!
are those in the Armory, the highj
"school, Whittier and the Y. M. C.
A. O.'ficials are- desirous ot con
fining the meet within as small a
radius as possible.
We it Opposed Change
Although western Nebraska was
generally opposed to a change, the
eastern and southern sections of the
ate were strong for the state plan.!
Omaha schools were practically un
animous. Last season such strong teams as
Omaha Central and South Omaha !
Frem nt, York, Grand Island and
University Place were restricted
from competing in the tournament
because of having been eliminated
in the district tournaments.
Another feature of this year's
tournament is that paid officials may
be used in the most important games
instead of relying upon University j
01 .Nebraska athletes. No definite
action was taken at the Omaha meet
ing of the board of control, but in
all probability some definite stand
will be tr.ken upon the question when
the board meets in Lincoln the week
procedinir the tournament.

Plan Soccer Tourney
To Start January 18
The Women's Athletic Associ
atie n is planning on starting the soc
cer tournament January 18, and ev
ery woman who has been out for
soccer should make an effort to get
her practices in by Saturday, Janu
ary 15. The teams will be- chosen
from those women having ten com
plete try-out practices in by Satur
day. There will be twenty-five W
A. A. points given to those women
who make the complete number of
practices, but fail to make the team
i . in
of the University
vcond semester. Owing to the de
ay of laying the dancing floor thi;
dan had to be disposed of. A con
-rete layer has been laid first, ovet(
vhich the permanent wood floor if
'o be' built. During the winter
months, and especially in the ex
treme cold weather, the cement will
not dry as well as it will in thr
-ummcr. Using such an expensive
floor, the University authorities do
not want to lay the boards "until the
concrete is absolutely dry, because
of the chance of warping. This
permanent floor will probably not
be laid until summer.
When completed the dancing tlyoi
will measure 120 by 208 feet. Most
of the University social functions in
the past have been held in the Ar
mory which is only sixty-five by
ninety feet, or not quite as large as
the new stage . will be in the Field
House.

PLAYERS GIVE
DEATH PRAIA
"Outward Bound Will be Pre
sented by the University
Players This Week
TICKETS NOW ON SALE
"The strangest play of the sea
son, and by all odds the most ab
sorbing," spoke Burns Mantle in the
XewYork Daily News of Sutton
Vane's three-act drama, "Outward
Bound," which will be presented by
the University Players this week-end.
The play has had successful runs
in New York and London. Critics
have been most favorable in their
reviews of this "bit of invention."
"Outward Bound' deals with an
unusual theme, "life after death."
The characters of the play do not
themselves realize their state of be
ing until the middle of the play.
When the author of the play was
asked how he came to write it and
what it meant, he replied:
Author's Idea of Afterlife
"I have put into 'Outward Bound'
my ideas of what happens to us- di
rectly after we die. Granted that
life does not end with this world,
I believe that when a person dies, he
or she is not at once aware of the
fact.
"You and I might both be dead at
this moment but we may not have
had time to discover that we are
dead. For stage purposes I have
given my characters tobacco, whis
key, books and everyday clothes.
They had not in the opening act
found out that they are dead and
they imagine things as they knew
them and Were accustomed to them.
"Gradually it is impossible to
say when, because time, in whatever
comes beyond this life is doubtless
not what we know as time I think
hose who die come to realize that
they are dead."
Seats for the play may be re
served now at the Ross P. Curtice
music store.

The ghoul-haunted students sent
a letter to David M. Updike, acting
superintendent of the department of
buildings and grounds, saying:
"We the undersigned, tenant
rooms on the Campus side of the
Furnald dormitory. For the past
two weeks we have been obliged to
behold upon glancing through our
windows the morbid spectacle of a
human skeleton occupying, it seems,
I a special place of honor in one of
'the rooms in the Journalism build
ing. This room is on the upper floor
and faces the outside of the dormi
tory." The letter implored that some ac
tion be taken to do away with the
grim spectacle.
It first appeared as though the
guilty party was a skeleton used in
the anthropology class of Professor
Boar. But the skeleton was found
innocent. Then the true offender
was discovered on the cornice of the

which throws its reflection on a
