Everything is ready for the hig game tonight, and unless something unfor Been occurs, the biggest crowd that evor attended a basket-ball game at .Nebraska will turn out this evening. The two teams are trained right up to the minute for this game alone, and wo can look forward to the fastest, cleanest and closest game ever played on our floor. Wisconsin boldly an n nces that it is coming for blood, and only an enthusiastic body of root ers can win victory tonight for the scarlet and cream. Dr. Clapp attrib utes our defeat at Mninesota, when wo seemed to have the Gophers "go ing" at the end of the first half, to tho fact that the home team had sup porters to cheer for them between halves and encourage them to greater efforts in tho second, and not because our boys fell down or because the other team did not play the best ball that was In them every minute of tin first half. If Nebraska loses this big homo game of the season, It will be the fault, not of tho team, for thej have done and will do everything that is in the'm, but of those Universltj students who do not have enough col lege spirit to add their -roicc to "the old Uni yell that will ring out in the armory tonight when tho team trott out onto the iloor. The Badger team arrived in tho city yesterday morning after encountering tho same fato at tho hands of the Sioux City Christians that was handed out to our team a couple of weeks ago by tho same team. The scores were almost the Bame 49 to 14 against Nebraska and 4G to 14 against Wlscon- " sin. To Judge from this game, tho two teams are of about tho same ability, tho Cornhuskors having an advantage in the fact that thoy are playing on the home floor, while the Badger team is far from home and friends. Last night tho Wisconsin boys played Wesleyan at University Place. As tho paper Is going to press the scoro-is unobtainable, but it is quite certain that the northerners ran away with tho local team. Tho gamo to night will begin promptly at eight, and the halves will be twenty minutes long. Between halves there will be a three-round sparring contest be tween a couple of city Y. M". C. A. members, with Professor Caldwell as roforee. Dancing will begin very Shortly after nine o'clock, so that the program will bo of tho usual length. Owing to the illness of Mr, Lane, tho gymnasium director, tho three classes in physical education 14 did not have any floor-work yesterday, but wont out on a long distanco run instead. The cold wind disturbed the men at first, but the stiff pace soon warmed them up, and no serious re sults occurred. The students were quite unprepared for long dlatance running, and after a couple of miles tho laggards began to drop out, until only about half wore left to complete the full circuit of about four or five miles. Last Friday the different divisions had a contest in order to divide each section up into four equads. This ie necessitated by tho fact that the classes are too largo to be handled as a whole, and is also advantageoup to those men who would be held back by the poorer gymnasts If they all did the same work. Another innovation is the assigning of numbers to tho men, so that instead of calling tho roll, each man hands his number to tho man In charge, thus saving considerable tlmo each hour. NEBRASKA vs. WISCONSIN This Evening, March 5th TICKETS 50c ARMORY. Informal Dance After Oame. No Additional Admission. Sophomores Will Meet Monday to Elect Sombrero Editors. MASS MEETING CUT SHORT Addresses Made to Arouse Enthu siasm. Recital by Miss Dales. Owing to MIbs Silence Dales' ap pearance at convocation this morning only a very short time was devoted to tho arousing of basket-ball interest. Miss Dales rendered four numbers in her inimitably charming manner, which makes her dearer to tho Uni versity people each time she plays. Miss Ethel Syford accompanied her on tho piano. After the music ProfesRor Candy urged a larger attendance at convoca tion and announced the program for next week as follows: Tuesday, Dr Ross, "The Open and Closed Shop;" Wednesday, Professor Barber, "An cipnt Rome." Thursday, Dr. Tuttlo, Friday, music. In a few very brief remarks Dr. Condra then spoke of tho real purpose of tho meeting, to tho effect that a crowd must bo ori Irand' tonight to cheer Nebraska to victory over Wis consin. Dr. Clapp showed the necessity of a fargo attendance by Bpeaklng of the present deficit staring tho athletic board in tho face and brought home tho fact that it is up to us as a stu dent body to como out tonight. Chances for a victory, Dr. Clapp thought, were very favorable. "Red" Hewitt, basket-ball manager, seconded all Dr. Clapp had said and pounded our duty at us by a few apt stories. Our showing against Minnesota, against tho team which eastern critics say could defeat anything in the east, proves that Nebraska's basket-ball team merits every bit of the heartiest kind of support wo can give it, and in the words of Dr. Clapp, It is cer tainly "up to us as a student body to turn out tonight and make tho victory over Wisconsin one of the students, as well as of the team." these meetings will bo the subject for discussion Sunday afternoon. Five lo cal association men will lead tho dis cussion. A good whole-souled Bong service will be participated in by thoso who attend. University men are invited to bo present and take part In this por tion of tho service. Tho meeting will last one hour. The membership of the Uni Y. M. C. A. has shown a substantial Increase during the past two months. College men who are not assisting in the work of tho association, to tho extent of membership at least, ought to con sider the opportunity of aiding a good work, and hand in their names to the membership committee without wait ing for a personal visit. Tho new students commltteo has made 2G4 calls on students in their rooms. The employment work has now reached ?5,726, which it has aided our students in securing. Those needing help should make their needs known to those in charge. Those knowing of any place whore a student may find employment would do well to report th esame to the association. Tho financial outlook of the associa tion is very encouraging. If those who owe membership fee or for subscrip tion mado will visit tho treasurer or general secretary, they will bo most kindly received. The final outcome depends almost wholly on tho proper completion of this feature. BACK AT THE UNI. Y. M. C. A. TVlass Meeting To morrow at Palladian Hall. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, in Palladian hall, the Uni Y. M. C. A., will resumo Its mon's meetings at the University. During- tho winter months it has been co-operating with the city asoclation in tho big men's mass meet ings at the Oliver. "Gleanings" from Will Found a Home. The Nebraska branch of the Col legiate Alumni association at, its last meeting discussed a new project to provide a home for girls who are com pelled to live In the blocks or our largo cities. The plan will be taken up more definitely at the next meeting to be held In Lincoln the 18th of this month. The club Is composed of college graduates all over th country, and has already done efficient work In various lines. A house such as in contempla tion here would be an excellent thing, and a lasting monument to the Ne braska branch of the Collegiate Alum ni association.

The sophomores will meet Monday with an evident purpose of finishing up the business relative to tho Junior class book for next year. According to general Impressions that are current, it is qulto likely that tho class will at least succeed in disposing of this troublesome affair that has been hang ing on so long. It has, in fact, been a long tlmo since business of such im portance has been brought before any class In this University for settle ment. The whole affair has been qulto complicated, and two stormy meetings have been held to Btraighten out mat tors without result. But at the moot ing Monday It is folt that It will be for the beBt interests of all concerned If the class proceeds in tho stops it has taken toward electing the editors of the Sombrero. The production of the class consti tution was tho surprise of tho last meeting, aB speculation was already rife as to the abiding place of this potent document. It is quite likely that tho constitution will be set aside aB the weal of the class is said to de mand it in tho present instance. This would romovo tho only obstruction to tho election of officers, and tho class hffvlng proceeded as far as It has, will finish the work, if its wishes are not again thwarted. The past two meet ings have been interesting and some thing has been accomplished at oach of them and it Is to bo hoped that on Monday tho question will bo definitely settled. . It is necessary to establish once for all a precedent for olocting at leaat thoso occupying tho chief places on the board. Tho Sophomores this year may have to make tho fight necessary for effecting this purpose, but if tho precedent is onco established, then tho way will bo clear for classes In the future. There will be certainly fewer chances for graft by making these places elective, as such Is likely tho case when Individuals have chargo of the book without any restraint to govern them. It is quite likely that the last chap ter of this memorable contest will bo written next Monday. As a rule, tho Sophomores seem to be getting ready for another big turn-out, as the ex citement will at least bo worth the trouble. There wjll bo no danger at all o there not being a quorum, and while some vigorous action Is expect ed, It 1b quite probable that tho class will complete Its work.
