Yordy was the who'.e show for the losers playing a nice floor game. Joy Storm, Acacia, defeated the Pi Kappa Phi five in a league cham pionship game thus keeping the Acacia in the 1000 percent class.

Individual teams are put on the floor to practice passes without any interference, the two teams, having been coached alike are pitted against each other. Contrary to first thought, in a game of this character speed and accuracy are absolutely indispen sable. Each player knows her op ponent's possible choices of action. Last year an exhibition game was given before a group of high school coaches by an All-University squad coached by Miss Wheeler and the un usual spectacle of a fast game played by girls caused much favorable com ment. Miss Wheeler specializes in producing a closely guarded game eliminating the common tendency for personal contact and tagging. SECOND SEMESTER ELECTIONS COMING Regular Election of Clan President.

Committee to Decide Varsity Party Question The student organization com mittee will meet this afternoon to decide the fate of house dances which conflict with varsity parties. A resolution was passed at the Student Council meeting last Wednesday that no fraternity or sorority be allowed to hold house dances on such nights. If this res olution is passed by the Student Organization Committee it will become a rule. This action has been taken be cause social organizations have repeatedly disregarded the re quest of the Student Council that parties not be scheduled on the nights of the Varsity parties. BEARG SOUNDS FOOTBALL CALL 'Any Man Figuring on Making The Varsity Eleven Must Report For Practice BEGIN ON WEDNESDAY Spring football for the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers will start on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, according to a statement issued yes terday by Coach Earnest Bearg, the Nebraska football mentor. Practice will be held every day for an hour and a half, starting at 4 o'clock. On days when the weather does not permit outside practice, th. squad will have blackboard drills in side. Individual work will be the main thing on Bearg's program for the Husker spring practice. Must Develop Kickers A place-kicker and a punter will have to be developed to replace "Bob bie" Stephens, who graduates this year. Ends and passers will have to be made by the flusker coach during his spring practice. There are only fourteen days of autumn practice before the opening game with the Ames eleven on Octo ber 1, and the Husker team will be made during the spring sessions. The football equipment will be issued to grid candidates today and Wednesday, and all men reporting for spring practice are urged to get their togs checked out today in order that the last minute rush will be avoided. Twenty Lettermen Will Report Fourteen letter men from the 1P26 squad will be lost but about twenty lettermen will report for practice this spring. On account of the short practice time this fall, Coach Bearg said "The varsity of 1927 will be de veloped during the spring workouts." With the exceptional freshmen ma terial that will turn out for practice Wednesday, Bearg expects to see many new faces on his team next year. The yearling team of last year was one of the best ever turned out at Nebraska, and nearly all the men on the freshmen team will check out moleskins for the practice ses sions during this spring. "If anyone figures on making the varsity eleven they will have to be out for the spring practice," said Coach Bearg. Entire Coaching Staff Ready The entire coaching staff will bo on hand to take the gridsters through the opening paces. The staff includes "Choppy" Rhodes, Oakes, Black, Weir, and Scherer. Captain "Jug" Brown of the 1927 Husker eleven is playing on Coacb Black's basketball team and will ret be out for practice until after the close of the cage season. "There should be three teams on the field of equal calibre' said the Nebraska pilot, "and I will be out as soon as the basketball season is over." WORLD FORUM WILL HEAR LEROSSIGNOL Dean of Business Administration College Will Discuss Capi talism at Luncheon " Capitalism Passing Away?" will be discussed by Dean J. E. Le Rossiimol of the College of Business Administration at World Forum at the Grand Hotel Wednesday noon. Tickets are on sale today in Social Sciences, and at the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. offices. Dean LeRossiiTiol's subject deals with the essential elements of social ism. The theory of Marxian socialism includes the passage of the capitalis tic system by the evolution of new organisms. The socialists believe that the concentration of wealth and the gradual doing away of the middle class are phases in the disappearance of capitalism. Discussing these fundamentals. Dean Le Rossignol will present his conceptions of modern economic life and change in regard particularly to capitalism and social ism. - PIONEERS WILL SHOWWARESON HUSKER FLOOR Grinnell Quintet Will Meet Coach Black's Five on Coli seum Court Tonight HOLD BUT ONE PRACTICE Cornhuskers Take Floor With But One Workout Since In vasion of Oklahoma Returning from their basketball trip to Oklahoma, Coach Black and his Husker cagemen held the only practice session, last night, before the clash with Grinnell on the Coliseum floor this evening. One hour of basket shooting and perfecting free throws followed by thirty minutes of fait scrimmage with Coach Bearg's freshmen team was the program for the Scarlet and Cream cagers last night. In the first period the varsity had things much their way, but when Black sent in his second five, the frosh held the varsity to an even break. Brown Hurts Knee "Jug" Brown, Husker forward re ceived an injury to his knee on the Oklahoma trip, but the injury is not serious and he will probably appear in the line-up tonight against the Pioneers. "Jug" hurt his knee in the football game at St. Louis when the Huskers met Washington last fall. Page, the six foot, seven inch Ne braska pivot-man, who ran rough shod over the Oklahoma Sooners at Norman last Friday was hitting his usual stride in the final workout last night, and was getting down under the basket for his favorite tip-in shots. Page is known throughout the Missouri Valley for his ability to get under the basket for a pass from his team mates and to tip the ball through the net Three time3 against the much reputed Oklahoma Sooners did the big Nebraskan tip the ball in from under the basket, and thrice did he register from back on the court Captain Clark Smaha, who is in fourth place in the high scoring column, is the Nebraska basket threat man. Clar't has featured 5n six games for a total of 56 points for the Nebraskans. He follows "Lefty" ByeTs, the Kansas Wildcat basket tosser. Page, the Husker center, is in the first ten with a total of 44 points. The same line-up will probably ap pear against the Pioneers as started against the Oklahoma five. Clark Smaha and Kenneth Othmer will be at forward, Ted Page at the center position, and Roy Andreson and Holm at the guard posts. The Grinnell line-up will be Cog gershall and Captain Chase at for wards, Niblo at center, and Davis and Fall at guard. NINE DAYS REMAIN BEFORE DEADLINE Pictures Taken After Deadline Date . , w . mbboi Appear in social Group Panels "Make your appointments for pic tures early and avoid the rush," is the advice of W. F. Jones, jr., editor of the 1927 Cornhusker to fraternity and sorority members who have not had their pictures taken for their group pictures. "There are only nine days left to do your picture shop ping," he said, "as the deadline is February 15." The panels must be made up and sent to the engraver, so that pictures taken after the deadline date cannot appear in the fraternity or sorority groups. Those who wish to use last year's picture should make it known to the photographer and make a payment of fifty cents for an extra print Ap pointments can be made at either Hauck's or Townsend's.
