are both official conference games
nd will count in the Valley standing.
Meet Cyclones Thursday
The Ames Cyclones will be the
first foe for the Nebraska team and
will be Thursday night, meeting the
Drake team on Saturday. The Drake
Bulldogs took the count of the Ne
braska team 31 to 32 when they
played in Lincoln on January 22, but
have lost one of the best men that
ever played on a Drake five when
"Chuck" Everett graduated last se
mester. While Drake has dropped to
sixth place in the Valley cage race
the Nebraskans with their improved
brand of ball have been conquering
all the strong teams in the Valley.
Last evening on the floor of the
Coliseum the Nebraska coach took
his basketeers through a stiff practice
session, drilling the guards on de
fensive work and five man defense.
It was the weakening of the defense
in the last ten minutes of the Kansas
game that accounted for the large
Jayhawker score. For two hours
Black drilled his Scarlet and Cream
cagers on the art of breaking: into
plays and smoothering the man with
the ball. One more practice remains
for the Hunker quintet before their
trip on the road and all workouts
possible are being crowded into these
last practice hours.
Smaha Second
Captain Clark Smaha the Nebras
ka scoring ace, dropped into second
place after the week end games and
with the final two games stands a
good chance to lead the valley scorers
for 1927. "Lefty" Byers, the Wild
cat forward continues to lead with a
total of 112 points and has one more
game to play, while Smaha plays two
more games in the Valley.
After the loss of last week-end's
game the Nebraska team continues to
stay in third place being tied with
the Oklahoma Sooners with six games
won and four lost. Kansas needs
but one more game orl, the won
column to cinch the Missouri Valley
title and they play Missouri on the
Lawrence court Wednesday and the
Kansas Aggies Saturday.

Senator Warner Gives Second Of
Weekly Radio Vocational Talks
Waverly Farmer-Senator Reviews
First Bill to be Passed by Present
Legislature) Also Water Power
Project.
Senntor Charles J. Warner, of
Waverly; gave the second radio talk
in the series of weekly vocational
guidance talks being given under the
direction of the Lincoln Chamber of
Commerce and the University of Ne
braska, yesterday afternoon at 1:15
o'clock. The Senator cited the number
of bills introduced before the state
senate and told how only a few of
them survive to be called laws.
"The first bill to be passed by the
legislature and signed by the gover
nor, excepting the bills appropriat
ing money for the expenses of the
legislature, was senate file 138 with
the emergency clause. This law pre
vents the introduction into, and the
dissemination within, the state of Ne
braska of insect pests and plant dis
eases injurious to the plants and plan
products," said the Senator. "Per
haps you think this is rather a small
matter to engage the time of the leg
islators. It is really a very 'nportant
matter. Do you like woi. apples
or cabbages or diseased plants? The
coddling moth, which is one state of
the worm that is found in apples, was
introduced into this country from
Europe less than one hundred years
ago and has spread all over the Uni
ted States.
"Within the last ten years," the
Senator continued, "an insect known
as the corn borer was brought into
America from Europe. It established
itself in northern Ohio and across
Lake Erie into Canada. In a very
considerable area the farmers have
practically ceased corn production.
The area where the borer is found is

Pack's etchinirs are in the permanent
collection of the Metropolitan mu

Art Voices Thoughts
"Technically, modern art is that
nart of the productions of today
which voice the thoughts of men who
see that the world of today is not
the world of the renaissance, said
Mr. Pach. "We must face modern art
sincerely and say that out of all the
accumulated mass only a little will
stand the test and find its way into
the art galleries of the ages.
"You are the people who must
work out the question of modern art.
It is a dangerous thing to spend too
much time with the past; it over
whelms one and makes him discour
aged for the future, but to lose the
herit.aee of the past would be su
preme madness. Genius in a life-time
could make small progress witnout
it."
Mr. Pach came to Lincoln to ap-
rur Wore the Nebraska Art Asso

the engagement because he had teen
granted a short leave of absence
from the Metropolitan museum to fill
few speaking engagements in the

Weather Man Expects
March Snows to Arrive
Cold and Dry As Usual
Mr. Blair, of the United States
Weather Bureau, says that this may
be the last snow, but he expects
to have more snows during March.
March usually has a number of cold,
dry snows, and that we may expect
to get our share cf them this year.
Tl'e snow was good for all the
country. The recent snows have
helped much but this snow will be
very valuable. The ground will be in
very good condition now.
The southwestern part of Nebras
ka was quite dry and needed the
snow that they received on Sunday.
The "weather man" expects the
snow, which started yesterday, to
continue for a while today.

COMEDY-DRAMA
"The Easy Mark" Is Next Play
to be Given by University
Players
PLAY HIGHLY PRAISED
New York American and New
York Times Both Speak
Highly of Production
"The Easy Mark", a comedy-drama
In three acts, by Jaek Larrie, will be
the University Player's next produc
tion at the Temple Theater, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday evenings
with matinees scheduled for Friday
and Saturday afternoons. Evening
performances will start at 8:20
o'clock and the matinees at S o'clock
and 2:30 o'clock respectively.
The hero of "The Easy Mark" is
the town boob, the boy whose im
agination is lively, but his brain
thick. He is a living proof of the
famous saying Jof P. T. Bamum,
"There's a fool born every minute."
This lovable simpleton has $60,000
in the bank and a dozen schemes to
run It into the1 millions.'
But he lets the town sharpers take
it away from him for an interest in
swamp land on which they have
poured a few gallons of crude oil as
bait.
Heart of Cheating
He hears that he has been cheated.
His family chaffs him unmercifully.
His sweetheart loses faith in him and
he is the picture of woe. Come the
sharpers again with the report that,
much to their surprise, somebody has
struck a gusher on the property and
they want to buy it back. This much
they confide in the audience, but of
course they don't tell that to the
town boob.
When he comes in, they tell him
they have heard that he feels he has
been cheated. Very well, they are
prepared to give him back his money
and take back the land. He thanks
them. He prepares to sign away
his fortune.
The hero takes up the fountain
pen and starts to write. It won't
work. There is no ink in it. There
is one of the best of the many hu
man touches of the play, right there.
We've all had fountain pens like that.
And before he can sign some one
rushes in and stops him. Then it
transpires that the new gusher is
spouting nothing but mud and salt
water. The easy mark is whipped a
second time.
Many Comical Twists
But a lot of new and highly comi
cal twists enter into the plot in the
last act. The town still thinks the
new gusher indicates a strike of oil.
The sharpers are still footed. They
make a desperate effort to buy back
the property and finally the easy
one sells it to them for $190,000. He
has cheated the cheaters, won his
sweetheart, and saved the home for
his aged mother.
You can't afford to miss "The
Easy Mark". It's going to be the
most njoyable of the year in fact,
of many years. Alan Dale, in the
New York American, says "Proves
that the theater still has a 'pull."
"You laughed and clapped and stif
led with jokes, love and hope with
the suspense over the signing away
of the oil lands," says the New York
Times. "It vibrates us from crown
to toe with laugh thrills," reads the
Newark Star-Eagle.
Tickets are on sale now at Ross P.
Curtice Co. Admission for the eve
ning shows are one dollar and seventy-five
cents for matinees.
