TICKETS $2.00. $$3$S$$$$kKS The doubtful weather conditions seem to stand in the way or a game this afternoon with the Omaha league team. If the worst is realized then Indeed wo will have cause for regret, since the two games .promised have been looked forward to with much ex pectation. We understood yesterday that a fence would be put up so as to deprive the curious of an oppor tunity of viewing the proceedings of the game from without If It Is possible' to meet the league r, our team may have reason to expet stiffer time than experienced at the former meetings. The Omaha men havo been getting in lots of practice and developing team work, so that they will doubtless play together better than before. l.etbei;by, the former ITnLver sliy star, has been tried and pioved below the league standard, as well as Flake, the man who played shortstop. Omaha has been mauled by big league teams, but has dealt quite satis factorily wjth St. Joe. If the two games arranged can be played, an in teresting time can be looked for. and we do not believe that either contest will bo one-sided. But rain Is the worst enemy that baseball has. and unices, the, weather conditions are much more favorable than they were "last night "both games may be declared off. THE SOCIAL SIDE. Variety of Entertainment for Vis iting Minnesota Girls. Elaborate preparations are being made for the entertainment of the Minnesota girls' basket-ball team dur lng.ita coming visit to the University, and the wtelcome accorded the Nebras ka girls at Minneapolis last month will bo outdone, If possible, by the recep tion to the Gopher girls next Friday. The management of the girls' team here is doing everything possible to make the match a big success, and a ' number of attractions have already be'on arranged for which seem to as sure that result. The' team Is schedule to arrive at 10:10 a. m. Friday over the Burllng- ' ton, and a big crowd will be on hand to meet them. It Is expected that every girl In the Univrrblty will turn out to wekome the Gophers, there being no doubt whatever as to the attendance of the men. From two to three o'clock in the afternoon the Armory will be turned o.er to the isltors for goal practice. Immediately following this, they will l.o taken lor a tally-ho ride. over Lin coln and vicinity, rrovlding tin wrntlur is favorable The game begins nt S: 15 p. m. In the Armory. The attraction between halves will be tho city Y. W. C. A. vs. the Academy. Theso old opponents expect to meet this time according to the strict woman's rules. Involving the three-court limitations, thus afford ing an excellent contrast to tho other game, which will be played more or lers according to the rules of the men's game. Tho patroncBHes for the even ing will be Mis. W. J. Bryan. Mrs. C II. Gere and Mrs. H. H. Wilson. After tho match a chafing dish party will bo ghen to tho members' of tho team bj the Kappa Kappa Gammas at the hom of Miss Gladys Hargreavos. The big tennis team's tournament between Miss Emily Johnston of Min nesota and Inez Everett of Nebraska will be held at 10:30 Saturday morn ing on the campus. At one o'clock- a luncheon will be served to both teams at the l.indell ordinary. In the after noon a tea will be tendered the team at the Kanna Alpha Theta house. The Minnesota team leaves at six o'clock Saturday afternoon over tho Burlington. DEFENDS THE CAPS. Freshman Sets Forth Views In a Communication. Editor Dally Nebraskan: The Fieshmen will wear caps. Tho majority hae otcd for the Insignia and there fs no other harmonious course than for the minority to concur in the project. Much agitation from non-Interested members has been the result of their action, but how much Justice and prac tical logic is there in tho evidence they are-producing to prohibit the lower classmen from Wearing a badge that distinguishes their organization from numerous others In the Ujnlverslty? Tho only argument that has thus far been produced by the upper class men can bo summarized in one sen tence, namely. That none of them were accorded such privileges In their early career. They say that they did not wear caps, therefore we must not. Now, an analysis of the force or their logic will not come amiss. According to their theory a boy should not have an education because his father is an illiterate man. a girl Bhould spin and weave today, no matter how many In ventions havo been introduced, be cause her mother was compelled to do do so. In other words, Ihey argue that wo can do nothing but ape those who havo preceded us. It Is not hard to see how fallacious and notoriously prepos terous thoii premise1! are. Had each s-uoeecdlng class followed In the time worn path of their predecessors, wo ask tho elder gentlemen, how much piogrot-s would have boon made In tho history of our University. Tho clans of '07 Is Initiating a new custom, one which Is a harmless stimulant of class loyalty, and Is not given ns a chal lenge to Incite antagonism among our sen'or friends.' Wo hac many reasons upon which we bae our claims and those who are open lo a sense of justice must give thorn due credence. Vo are the largest class organization In the institution; wo have more icp resontatives In athletics, more who at tend these tournaments, and as indi viduals hae not been excelled In con li Uniting to tho temple fund. Aside from this, in all functions given by the upper classmen wo have contributed liburally of our time and money to make them a success. Why, then, can they conscientiously place a damper on a simple action that In n way Interferes with their organiza tions. If there Is any justice In such action, we fall to-see It. We might pass a resolution that It Is obnoxious to our vision to see the ten or a dozen sophomores wear their caps and our power to annihilate them would not be questioijeel by applying our force of numbers, but we do not consider what they eat, drink or wear, or how fan tastically they part their hair, one atom of our bubiness. We believe that our liberty ends where that of our neighbor begins. Wo have not made a declaration of war, as has frequently been charged to us. We have simply exorcised a right which belongs to no one but the class of '07. We have no purpose to antagonize our senior friends. We are but show Ins our class snlrlt. and those classes who come after us may follow In ourl footsteps If they see lit, but If their good sense should direct them to take another course and Improve upon tho path wo have hewn, we hope that we shall be able to refrain from any hos tile a,ction, but cheer them on in their desire to surpass their predecessors. A FRESHMAN? LADY MINSTRELS Practice for Big Event of April 28 Progressing Steadily. Pieparatioiie for tho mlnstiel Hhow etlll go merrily on. The board of re gents report that they were unjvbje jo transact much business at their lanl meeting because the "show" wa,p-ac-tlclng In tho samo bulldttig and was much more entertaining to listen to thnn tho sage remarks of the building committee regarding the architect's plans for the now physics building. Tho Joke department of tho minstrel show Is working twenty-four hours a dny. The promlso, however, that tho piofcHsois aro to be toaHted and not roasted. It this- Is the cose there surely must be something In storo for the student body. A Junior suggested yesterday that perhaps tho Senior An nual board would hear from somo of their mlHsIng material when the Intor locutur begins to query the end men as to "What you all Is a. thlnkln' about?" When Been last night, Miss Ruth Wilson, tho business manager, report ed that the tickets were selling well, one of tho members of tho Dramatic club having sold over fifty already.
