SHOW YOUR SPIRIT
Drop Your Books and Go To The
Mass Meeting This Morning.
Thoro will be the regular musical
program at chapel this morning, but H
will be music that every loyal supporter
of athletics at Nebraska rejoices o
hear above all others the old Uul yell,
which has made, the building resound
so often during the last two years aft r
or before victories In football, basrbal!
or debating, poor old basket-ball alone
not having been so honored. Univer
sity students have to be educated up to
the fact that football is not the only
game which can turn out heroes, and
that an "N" won In basketball means
something, means work just as hard
if not as dangerous as football prac
tice, and means conscientious work ex
tending over a period twice as long as
tho football season. Basket-ball .s
really a great game, and is recognized
by all college athletic authorities as
tailing for as great a store of energ)
and as much endurance as football 01
rowing. And the university public will
have the chance of their lives to sec
the beauties of basketball in a game
which promises to be faster than any
ever played on the Aimory lloor. Wis
consin Is coming for blood, and will
get It If so many students don't come
out tomorrow night to cheer our team
on to victory that John Uhl will have
to call on Chancellor Andrews and
Linn Huntington to help him cany m
more seats.
Manager Hewitt feels so certain that
the Armory will be so full that there
won't bo room for the game and that
all this crowd will want to cavort to
'The Good Old Summer Time" for a
couple of hours, that he has decided to
have both the Armory and chapel
floors ready for dancing. Dr. Clapp
has relented from his stand on wax
ing the gymnasium flobr to the extent
of permitting it tomorrow night, so
everybody may be assured there will
he room for them to dauce. as the two
looms will accommodate 175 couples.
Everybody come out and make the
gamo the most successful financially
and tho dance the largest that "ever
was."
Wisconsin is haing the same experi
ence with athletic finances as Nebras
ka and every-other big school, namely,
that from tho football receipts must be
paid tho deficits Incurred in every
other branch of college sport. This
year Wisconsin had to pay more than
$12,000 from her balance and from the
football receipts in order to even up
the accounts of baseball. crew, and
every other sport. The crew was the
.most rqmarkablo money loser7"(lue to
tho fact that no admission charges
wero ever possible, student contribu
tions constituting the sole receipts in
that department of athletics. It is
easy to see that without football to fall
back upon, half tho colleges In the
country would have to drop track, base
ball, basket-ball and tennis teams. Ne
braska is even more unfortunate, for
football also failed to pay for itself
last soason, ' although next year's
schodulo promises to leave a neat sua
In tho treasury.

By reason of her perfect method, this
singer delights her audience with her
distinct enunciation. What Is more
trying than to listen to a singer and
not be able to understand what she is
tinging about?
Miss Tyler is a singer of great dra
mallr ability and Intensity of expres

pleasing stage presence. The oppor
tunity of hearing her here should be
regarded as a welcome one. Admis

Miss PnxKon's last meeting uitli the
university girls was the noon pray r
meeting. Monday. She left Monday nl
ternoon for Chicago, and a chorus of
regrets fiom the girls that she rould
not remain with them longer. Her
time 'luring her visit was rorapW tcly
tilled. Besides the -arious open meet
ings, she met with each committee,
with the cabinet and with many of the
girls personally. All of her meetings
from the noon services to the quiet
hour at nine on Sunday morning were
well attended.- Tho number at both
noon and afternoon services never fell
below one hundred, and at one meet
ing reached one hundred and thirty.
At the rally on Sunday afternoon in
which the Wesleyan. Cotner and city
associations joined, the chapel was
pletely filled. A delightful Informal
reception was given her by the ad
visory board Thursday evening at th
Conservatory of Music. The conserva
tory girls had den-orated the hall and
pat lots with pennants and potted
plants. Miss Steven gave a number .f
musical selections. ()er thiee hun
dred girls were present during -th'
course of the evening.
On Saturday evening the Kappa Kap
pa Gamma sorority entertained Mlfes
Paxson and the cabinet of the Y. W.
CA.'
Miss Paxson won the heart of every
girl with whom she came in contact
by her charming personality. She un
derstands perfectly the problems which
meet college women. Her talks to the
girls were very clear and practical, bu'
most inspiring. Every association girl
has gained a new enthusiasm for Chris
tian association work. Miss Paxson
expressed her pleasure at the growth
made by the association during this
year, but pointed to the yet uupos
Befified field and urged the association
to make greater effort than ever.

SETTLES IT UP.
Art Association Pays New York
Artists $ 75.00 Damages.
The Art association, through Its at
torney. P. M. Hall, has settled with the
New York artists who had claims grow-
lug out of the recent art exhibit. Seventy-five
dollars was the amount re
quired for compromise with the art
ists whose original claims exceeded
that amount by a hundred dollars. The
damages under discussion were due to
racking sustalneel by the Irames and
the touching up of these through a
mistake. The artists laid special stress
upon the fact that tho antique finish
of the flames has Buffered from the
genius of one of our University offi
( ials who had touched up some of the
unsightly places with gilt, thus mix
ing the modern and antique, a com
bination which the gifted artists did
not regard. The original demand
caused considerable trepidation among
the members of the Art association, as
it threatened to do more than wipe
out the surplus that they had to its
credit. Tho agreeable settlement, how
ever. Is received with satisfaction, as
now the usual annual difficulties grow
ing out of the art exhibit have been
attended to.
