The Eustian Samovan the Stake at
the Obming Tournmont Special
Interest Oentors in the
Second Toam.
"Will the University )0 able to
keep the samovar In the February
tournament?" At present tins Is
the question of greatest interest in
feminine basket ball circles. It
would be a bard blow to admirers of
the massive Russian trophy of burn
ished brass, should it be carried off
this season to Omaha, perhaps, or to
Wahoo. Meantime practice goes "
onco a week, thougliit is felt that Lnis
is scarcely enough to gi-vo the placers
much experience, or to enah'c.them to
reach their best Torn).
The first team is doing well, never
theless, and seems likely to prove
not less strong than ia.se year's. With
one exception the personnel of the
team is the same as tor the Missouri
match. The position oi second cen
ter was left vacant by Miss Gertrude
Macoraber, who does "not, exuect to
be in school next semester. Beside
playing efllcicnt basket ball, Miss
M acorn bor has been very popular per
sonally, and will be missed by her as
sociates on the tirst and second teams
in the weekly games. Miss Alice
Towne. first center on the second
team, was advanced to fill ner place,
'finis the probable defenders or the
samovar, in the tournament, will
be- Misses Miller and .lansa, for
wards: Misses Pillsbury and Towne,
centers: and. Misses Sly and Shields,
guards. Miss Towne lias been grow
ing steadily in swiltness and accuracy
since her advent on the field in the
in 11, ind witli three years of basket
ball yet before her., and no especial
faults to overcome. i,s expected to
prove a lasting and valuable addition.
Thoso playliu at present on the
second team are Misses Iliggins and
ltichry, and Miss Archibald or last
year's Lincoln High school team,
forward on the "mixed" team In
the recent matches. At the begin
ning or the semester, the second
team was very nearly asjstrong as the
first, but lost many, four at least, of
its strong players, mainly through
conflicts of class work. Especial m
' terest centers abuut the second team
tills year, because of its Important
place and the hard playing In store
lor it in the touuament. On tlie first
night it will compete with outside
teams for the ricnt to challenge the
first team, last year's winners of the.
trophy In the match of crowning in
terest on the second night. Tt will
have to participate in at least two
matches, possibly, should it bo suc
cessful, in three: while the iirst team
can play but. one. tlio final contest
for tho possession or the uunovar,
with the team winning the right to
challenge. Much reliance Is placed on
Miss Illgg ns and Miss Rlohey, who
are old hands at the game, bv this
time, and on Miss Archibald, who
vv knows tho game well; but who their
colleagues are to be, for the critical
'garaes. is not yet demonstrated.
There is no dearth of sklll'ul materi
al on the various class teams, nut a
majority of the promising candidates
are small and inexperienced, ann
there Js llttlo time for developing
swiftness, freedom from fouling, and
all the other essentials. Captain
nigglns hopes soon, to reorganize her
team, however, and will do her best,
she says, with their assistance, to up
hold the credit of the University, in
the coming contests.

been given out.
The item in question said that In

the information that no regular army
officer had been stationed at. t he state
univc-sity. It went on to say that
the order forbidding such detail,
made at;thc beginning ot the Spanish-American
war has not been re
voked. Documents on file at the executive
office show clearly that the corres
pondent isjn error in saying that no
detail has neen made.

is as follows:

Washington. November 2f, 1!)0L
Special order No. 27.'.

Army.
The order, prohibiting the detail
ing of officers to Universities rcrers
only to officers In active service. Cap
