Arrangements to bo Made for a Re turn BaBket Ball Game With Minnesota Track Meets to be Looked After. Tho Nebraska basketball team may. have a chance to get even with Minnnesota for the defeat suffered 4iL the hitler's hands last Saturday. At a meeting of the athletic board last night Managor Morrell was authorized to negotiate with tho Gophers for a game to be pl-iyed in Lincoln. Letters have passed regarding a gamo between the two Institutions and this action of the board practically assures a game. If tho game with Minnesota Is scheduled it is probable that tho trip into Kansas will bo called oil. The gamo with Kansas university having ecn dropped this left but two teams for the Nehraskans to play, Topcka Y.M.C.A. and the Haskell Indians at Lawrence. Tho guarantees fur nished by these two games are so small that there is a possibility of a loss and it was the sentiment of the board that if any money weic to bo lost on basketball It. would better be to loso it on the Minnesota game. The track team also came in for a share of the attention of iho board. It was decided to have tho inter cullegiato meet which Is to bo hold on Nebraska Held this year, on May 18. A propositon to arrange a meet with Kansas it as discussed. It was tho sentiment of the board that no moot in should bo arranged unless sufllclent interest in track athletics was mani fested and no money should be risked getting meets. Manager Clinton was authorized to secure tho names of men who will nromlso to get out and work for places. In caso a good team can be worked up several meets will prooably bo scheduled. Thoro is some talk of entering a trl-stato league with Missouri and Kansas with a meet at Kansas City. Tho basketball and foot ball schedules wero also discussed Inlormally. MISb BARR SPEAKS AT CONVO CATION. Miss A.L. Barr, adjunct professor of physical education and director of tho woman's gymnasium, spoke to tho Btudonts at convocation, yester day, on " Co m m o n sins against re spare health.' Sins, she said, are of two classes commission and ommisslon. All wrongs como under ono of these two heads. Tho weaknesses of tho body are duo largely to some derangement of tho organs, usually occasioned in -childhood or in youth. "Tho importance of improving tho condition of tho en vironment of children is shown by tho fact that eastern oities havo a move ment on foot to establish gymnasi ums and bath houses. Such improve ments are paying, in tho long run, beoauso they ralso tho standard of tho pooplo, in a moral and'physlcal senso. Miss Barr uavo some tigures to show that many young poopio go through the primary and high schools and on tor the university with various troubles, such as uoor eye slgnt and spinal al Inicnts. which affect tho neivous system. Such troubles put tho student to a vory groat disad vantage. They are due largoly to tho poor conditions of .sthuols and school houses. Seats aro poor, ventilation Is bad and light is Insufficient. Shosaid that tho university lrn oroves tho physical conditions of the student by gymnastics and military drill, which Is an adjunct to gym nastics. Tho peoplo of northern Eu rope arc strong because they give at tention to athletics and military ser vice. Especially is this true or tho peoplo of Norway and Sweden. Tho Amoncan people misunderstand the meanlnc of gymnastics. Their purpose Is both to educate and to give ploasure. They strengthen tho will and round up tho Intellectual and tho physical being. A large majority of our prominent men were fond of play In their childhood. Several remedies wero suggested by Miss Barr. First, more wholesome fuod should be used. Not foods of a delicate character but thoso that give tho greatest amount of nutri ment. Older people are, too often, nogligent In tills matter, oocond, wo ought to get moro sunlight. Peoplo of tho west do not realize this need as do tho people of New England. Houses and schools ought to admit moro of life-giving sunlight. Lastly, people ought to go more Into tho open air. Nothing is as stimulating and healthful as plenty of outdoor air. By thlR It Is not mcaut that ono should rush to tho ofllce or to school with tho fear of being late. Jn such a caso tho nervous strain spoils tho walk and destroys its value. In order to make wahclng a relief to the ner vous system and a builder or health, It must be thorouibly enjoved. CONVOCATION ANNOUNCE MENTS. This morning at convocation Miss Alice IIowoil8 will grvo a sorles of select recitations. Tomorrow morning Captain Smoke will spoak on tho military depart ment. Friday morning Miss Helen Field will talk on the Royoroftors. A circular has been resolved from tho University of Iowa presenting tho details of tho fellowship and scholarship awards in that Institu tion. Thero are twenty-four of them with an average value of $125 for scholarships and $225 for fellowships and exemption from all university fees In both oases. Applications lor these appointments must oe made before March 12 and May 21. Tho puoils of tho school of music will givo a .recital in memorial hall tonight. MISS SMITH EXPLAINS. Makos a Btatomont Regarding Hor Resignation Not Formal But Implied May Not Remain Until Juno. When asked about her reported resignation Inst night Miss Smith said that she had nob formally resign ed but that her resignation was only Implied from a lottor she had written last December In which she declared that sho would not aot in tho ca pacity of registrar any longer unless her salary wore Increased to an amount equivalent to that oald to tho other officers of tho university for a simitar grade of work. This communication was not lutond ed as a resignation but was simply a protest against what sho considered an lniustlco. The ' answer to. this was a communication to tho effect that her Implied resignation had boon accepted to tako effect February 28 and also notifying her that sho vould bo continued as "Consulting Registrar" at her present salary until Juno HO. Miss Smith was unablo to say last night whether sho would remain until the end of tho year or not. This will depend, she said, on what the duties of that oftlco aro and how onerous they aro. The only statomont she cared to mako was that sho considered herself dropped from the ofllco becauBo the authorities aro not willing to pay her what they pay tho other offices for tho samo kind of work. Sho ox pressed reerets tnat she had to sever her connection with the university in this manner. She was uable to say what sho would do in case sho decided not to remain until June. Miss Smith was appointed registrar Juno 30, 1882, and was practically the first porson to perform tho duties of that ofllce. SENIOR LAWS IN EVIDENCE. A" very nauseating odor prevadod the lowor floor of tho main building yestorday evening. At one tlmo It was so bad as to make it almost im possible for anyone to remain in tho halls. Investigation showed that it camo from the room occupied by tho senior law class. It was said that certain students who are moro fond of certain mis chiof than of doing hard work had placed a quantity of a certain chemi cal having a very bad odor near tho Instructor's desk in the hope that he would excuso the olass on account of the heavy atmosphere. The In structor however turned tho joke op the class, oa guilty and not guilty alike, bv giving a rigid examination. Thus these studonts wero obliged to thinK hard (so far as this is possible) and at tho samo timo inhale the highly profumed air wbilo the pro fessor, for whom thrjoko was intend ed was able tojio out and cot a little fresh ozone as often as he felt like It. The students who played tho nar row trick aro said to bo tho samo ones who havo boon up to mischief all tho yoar. Reoontly they wont to tho t roil bio and oxponse of got Ing an alarm clock which they wound and placed In the samo in structor's desk. It waB Intended that tho alarm should ring whilo tho Instructor was delivering his lecture and thus cause a disturbance. Tho scheme failed as tho olook positively refused to do as it was wanted to do. Just a fo;v dayB ago the sumo Instructor reoolved an annnnymous noto giving him some wholesomo advice. This also Doars marks of being another produot of these fertile minds. BASKETBALL TEAM RETURNS. Tho naskotball toam roturncd yes torday morning from its northern trip and reports an oxcellent time. Maua gor Morroll stated that at Minnesota tho team did not got Into tho gumo as lb ordinarily does. Tho work at Sioux City was far hotter, ilowovor at the former place our team labored under tho disadvantage of playing on a much Ionizer floor than that to which It was accustomed, the floor Choro being 120 feot long. Tho Minnesota team excolled in long passes and wero theroforo ablo to keep away from our men long enough to win goals. Tho Sioux City toam was over confldont of victory which doubtless contributed to hor defeat. Having defeated Omaha by a good sooro, which team had In turn beaten Lin coln, tho team that played a oloso gamo with the univorslty, tho Sioux City team was almost , certain of winning the game. Nebraska how ever wont Into tho gamo In Its old fashion "and, succeeding in showing them how it was done. Tho floor at this placo was a vory short ono so much so that tho foul lines wero in tho middle of tho Hold. Cortelyou succeeded in throwing a goal clear across tho Hold. The attendance at both games was not what 4t ought to have been, though Sioux; City had the larger crowd. Tho men speak very highly of their troatraont at Minnesota where the rooters cheered our men with as much spirit as they did their own. Edward C. Elliot, '9 and '07, has sont to some of his university friends a copy of the annual roport of tho Leadvillo, Colorado, school of which he is suponntendABt. The report Is a vory exhaustive one containing over 100 pages and shows the degree of excel lonoy to tthloh the sohools havo risen. A number of .half tone, plates aro given showing the different sohools, of tho oity. The report reflects much credit upon Mr. Elliot in his"" attempt to show to the peoplo of Leadvllle what is being done in their sohools. 1 . i 1 'i j (TJ MB 'j ' s si M .- , , ' r .' - f , . - r ... 1" . . , .
