Tho tournament to decido tho Girls'
Inter-Class baskotball championship
has boon set for Friday, Fob. 10. Tho
tournament will consist of games
playod between tho class teams am
nion tho winners playing for tho cham
pionship. Tho class teams this year
aro more evenly matched than oyer be
fore, the members of tho 'varsity be
ing pretty evenly divided among them,
tho Froshman class being tho only
team without 'varsity players. But
this team is exceptionally strong and
has given tho- 'varsity tho hardest prac
tice of any of tho teams.
The Freshmen and Sophomore teams
will play first and then the Junior and
Senior teams. Tho winners of these
games will play togothor. Tho Junior
team Is very strong this year and as it
was the winner last season much will
ho oxpected from it. Tho price of
admission for these games will be ten
cents. It is quite probable that the
'varsity will play Minnesota In Min
neapolis tho 24th of February. Tho
management wished to bring Minne
sota to Lincoln this year, but this Is
impossible as Minnesota makes anoth
er ,trip and can not come to Lincoln
this year. A contract was sent to tho
management stating Minnesota would
probably meet Nebraska In Lincoln
next year If Nebraska would play In
Minnesota this year. Tho question has
not been fully decided but it Is pretty
euro that tho girls will travel north
ward on the twenty-fourth.
A gamo with Haskell will likely bo
played in Lincoln tho first of March.
If the first team plays Haskell here,
the second team will meet the Omaha'
Y. W. C. A. team on tho same evening
Tills will give a double header and
two good games of basketball on one
evening. Tho Haskell team has never
been able to defeat Nebraska and this
year promises to be no exception to
others.
The game with Misosuri Is with
out a doubt tho most Important
game of the season for tho gitfs. This
game will, be played m St. Louis the,
latter parf of March. Tills will be one
of tho fastest games played In thwest
for the present year as the learns .are
bo evenly matched.
Mrs. Clapp and Miss Pound will ac
company the team on, its trips, and
Mrs. Clapp will act as official for alL
the games with tho exception of the
game at Minnesota. Other games will
surrounding colleges.
The Latin Club met Tuesday morn
ing at Chapel time and elected twelve
students to membership. Students to

work in tho Department of Latin and

extent upon scholarship in that de
partment. Those chosen wore: Misses
