Warn Against Season Tickets A warning against the buying of season tickets was issued by Herbert Gish. tournament director, Wednes day afternoon. There never has boon a season ticket printed for a tournament, and there never will be, officials state. Numerous telephone calls have been received at the ath letic office from people wanting to know more about the season ticket idea. "Most of those calling insist that season tickets are being sold in Omaha for three dollars. If they are, somebody is getting stung," Di rector Gish stated. All railroad expenses are being! guaranteed to the teams so that the rain ought not to make any differ ence in the attendance of the teams that intended to drive. It makes no difference whether the team comes by train or by auto in the refund. Preliminary practice for those teams arriving early has been de nied. "If we permitted any of the teams to practice before the tourna ment they would be .all here several days before the tournament. It would give the early arivals an un fair advantage. The Nebraska Wes leyan. Corner and Lincoln high school gymnasiums can be used provided ar rangements are made with the ath letic departments of these schools," Gish explained. Results of the games will be broad casted every two hours by the uni versity radio over KFAB.

POLO FEATURE ON FARMERS' FAIR PROGRAM Committee Heads Meet With Board to Begin Planning For Annual Frolic FACULTY MEMBERS TALK WRESTLERS GO TO VALLEY MEET Grapplers Stand Chance to Place Among Leaders; No Word of First Bout MEN IN GOOD CONDITION The Cornhucker wrestling team left Wednesday afternoon for the Valley Conference wrestling meet. to be held by the Oklahoma A. & M. at Stillwater. Nebraska has hopes of placing well among the leaders in the meet, and their performance this season has been good. Oklahoma is unbeaten so far in meets while Ames and Ne braska have both lost once. Okla homa beat Ames, and they in turn defeated the Huskers. The Okla homa mat squad has several Ameri can Athletic Union champions among the members. Division of Points The division of points in the meet may not work out so well for the strongest teams collectively, as with some numbering a few especially strong grapplers. Any man obtain ing a fall receives one point regard less of the outcome of the meet. The Nebraska men are all in pretty good condition. The men who left yesterday are Capt. Highley, Blore, Weber, Kellogg, Skinner, Brannigan and Tuning. Two of the Husker grapplers have not met defeat this season. Kellogg received a draw in one match, but that is the closest he has come to defeat. Skinner has, ir. nearly every meet, thrown his oppon ent, and has never been in danger. These Nebraskans should make a good showing in the Valley meet. No word has been received as to whom Nebraska has drawn for their first bout. The meet will be run off Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Fair board in room 206, of Home Ec Hall, Ag College campus on Tuesday evening, March 9. A spirit of good will and enthusiasm was manifested throughout the meeting. Every chairman was on deck when Dan Set bold, president of the Farmers' Fair Association, called the meeting to order. Nebraska yells and songs preceded the main program. Discussed Duties After the chairmen of the various committees were introduced by the president, Lois Jackman, Secretary of the fair board, discussed the duties of the chairmen. The Ag College faculty members of the fair board then gave short talks. Those speaking were Prof. Chauncey Smith of the Ag Engineer ing Department, Prof. Davis of the Dairy Department, and Prof. A. O. Rankin of the Ag Economics Department. Some splendid new ideas were sug gested by these men. Prof. Smith talked on the subject of getting the youngsters to attend the fair. He presented the view-points of a num ber of outsiders as they saw the Farmers' Fair, one of these being Chancellor Avery, who opined that the Fair was a wonderful medium for establishing a spirit of "good will" between the students of the two campuses. Shows Interest and Spirit Professor Davis gave a snappy ver sion of what the Fair would be like this year. "The great amount of in terest and good spirit already mani fested gives one a splendid idea of just what to expect in Farmers' Fair this year. Such large amount of work as has already been accomplish ed has never been done before. I believe that present trend of activi ties invites the prediction that the coming fair will be the largest and best one 'ver put on by Ag students" said Mr. Davis. Professor Rankin in his short talk expressed the opinion that not only Farmers' Fair, but all student activi ties on Ag campus had made wonder ful strides. He said in part: "This is an all Ag College fair. It may tear class work assunder for a few days, but the training which the stu dents get from Farmers' Fair work is more than compensative of nil the rapidly but there are still a number of good ones available. The play has created such interest that a large delegation of members from the Omaha Drama League have ordered a block reservation for Sat urday evening. Two Feature Dances Two features of the play are a negro dance and a snake dance. Judd Smith, page to the Snake Charmer, will give the negro dance and Georgia Spelvin, whose real identity the Players have concealed, will pre sent her personal interpretation or Ghandi Tried to Change Old System) Used Fortune for School, and Became Day Laborer "A new spirit is rising in India," declared J.

Mr. Isaac pointed out the estab lishment of a new girls' college three years ago which he said was import ant not so much because of the higher learning it was disseminating but because of the new spirit which was coming forth.

Price Not Understood T don't believe that the students understand the change in rates; you see, the charge is still sixteen cents a mile as it ba always been; the difference is in the twenty cents for every hour after six 'clock," was the explanation made bv Mr. Polski of One dealer pointed out that stu dents were likely to drive their rent ed cars as little as possible, particu larly if their datcs" lived at some down town sorority house and thus the dealer would lose money on the renting of that car.
