THE TEAM RETURNS
t
. i
Basketball Five are Back From
Eastern Trip.
Ilcport liiocilont'Trefttmont ul n CSooil
Time.
Tho 'varsity basketball team re
turned home Sunday evening from the
eastern trip. The result of the trip
was two victories and four defeats. The
boys played good basbetball every
game and havo no fault to find with
tho treatmont received.
Tho team was handicapped by the
largo floors and no out-of-bounds. In
many places netting ' surrounded the
court and the baskets were on tho
edgo of a stage. The Ripoa college
floor was tho largest one played on,
being 100 to 60 and having no out-of-bounds.
Tho first game was played with the,
Maroons, Port Washington, Wisconsin,
ln this team the boys met a team that
has never been beaten on their owu,
floor and bavo played togother for
four years. Theydefeatod the fast
team from Lewis Institute, Chicago,
by a good margin. Tho gamo with Ri
pon college was closer, than the first
ono and Nebraska while ton points bo
hind in tho first half, narrowed i
down to four points at tho end of the
game, final score being 32 to 28.
Tho next two games were tho victor
ies won by tho 'varsity on the trip.
Lawrence University and the Menasha
teams wero tho unfortunates. The
scores- of tho games show a good mar
gin in favor of Nebraska.
Lewis Institute and Central Y. M. C.
A. both of Chicago wero the last games
played. Both tho teams were too fast
for the 'varsity and after the week of
hard travel they could not hold down
the 'score of el her the Lewis or Cen
tral teams. Besides this tho Chicago
teams are tho fastest in the country.
Central Y. M. C. A. -won the National
championship last summer at the St.
Louis fair. Lewis proved almost as
fast a team as Central.
The team shows the effects of about
fifteen hundred miles travel and six
hard games. While they are not crip
pled up some of them received minor
injuries and severe colds which may
icsult more seriously. Thero will be
uo work for tho team thi3 week.
If tho number of University bills in
troduced Into the House of Representa
tives is to bo considered as a criterion
of the interest that the legislature has
in the University's welfare it would
seem that tho University is going to
bo well equipped by tho time the legis
lature adjourns. A bill was introduced
in tho House yesterday byJRepresonta
tlvo .Warner for an act to authorize the
board of regents of the University to
purchase the south half of block num
bered twenty-flvo In the city of Lin
coln, together with all tho Improve
ments thereof, to bo used for and In
connection with tho University, and to
provide an appropriation of twenty-five
thousand' dollars therefor.
Eleven students are registered for
graduate work in Botany. Six of these
aro working for tho degree of A. M.
and five for Ph. D. Two of tho latter
expect to finish their work and get
their degree in June of the present
year

PAY FOR FUN
Freshmen to Stand For Broken;
Doors.
Tho Froshics had their fun Saturda
night, in their vain attempt to do
things to the Sophs, aud now thoy
must pay ,for it. A committee repre
senting '08 appeared ort the carpet yes
terday morning nnd wero persuaded
that they ought, purely as a matter oi
honor, to make good the damage for
which they -wore responsible. v .This
dama"gc, which amounts to a consider
able sum, consists of three doors more
or loss broken, a screen torn to pieces
and ono window light smashed. In
their sticnuous attempts lo steal cos
tumes, programs, or in fact anything
Sophomoro the upholders of '08 "class
spirit" stopped for nothing. Doors
were nothing to them; neither 'were
windows, but their efforts availed lit
tle. The trouble proper began Satur
day afternoon when the Freshmen
broke through the doors leading into
tho gymnasium, and then throughor
rather down, tho doors from the gym
to the chapel. After gaining access to
the desired room the clothes which the
Sophomore actors intended to wear
were ruthlessly purloined, but with
this the Freshmen had to be content.
In the evening again access was gained
to the basement of the gymnasium by
tearing off a screen and demolishing a
window, nnd then breaking a door
panel. Alter all this, however, further
progress was barred by the Sophs,
themselves. No attempt was made to
interfere with the dance. Ueyond a
possible one or two of the more timid
whom tho formidable crowd at the on
trunco may have frightened away the
actions of the Freshles had no effect
upon the affair otherthan to add a lit
tle spicy excitement, and effectually
advertise the play.
All damages will be made good, and
all personal property has been, re
turned. See Uni. Book Store ad on page 2.

Auburn Concert.
The appearance of the Qlee club at
Aubupi last Friday evoning was very
successful. Tho concort was well at
tended, and tho numbers on the pro
gram well received, especially the lat
ter part of the program, which con
tained several takeoffs on well known
local characters. This is tho first timo
the club has appeared without Director
Karnes leading, and with one or two
exceptions the men did exceptionally
well. Miss Alloyho Archibald, who ac
companied tho club, was given a
hearty encore to her piano soloctlon,
and Mr, Mycr's flute solo also received
the deserved second call. After the
concert the club was the guest of the
people of Auburn at a dance. Tho boys
received the best of treatment and
praise the hospitality shown at Auburn
very highly.
Tonight the men will begin an en
tirely new set of pieces which will
make up the program the club will ubo
on their long trip at the Easter vaca
tion. Only a little over a month re
mains in which to round out the now
program, but the men are working woll
together, and the new numbers will be
lighter and easier to master. Manager
V illiams yesterday sent off a number
of contracts for concerts to b6 given at
various towns throughout the state,
and more will be signed up and sent
out in the nenr future.
House Roll 109, the bill for an act to
empower the Regents to condemn the
land for an extension to the University
campus, was read in the senate the
mond time on the '.'I.rr. nnd was re
feired to tho committee on State Uni
versity and-State Normal schools. It
is not known when the bill will come
to a vote in the sonate.
House Roll 9, the bill for a hundred
thousand dollar University appropria
tion, is no.v on the general file in tho
house. It will go from there to tho
committee of the society desires to
ably cgme to a vote the latter part of
this week.

The Comedy Given by '07 Well
Received.

Developed.
In splto of the, strenuous effdrtB to
prevent tho Sophomore play and
danco wore carried out with complete
success. Tho play, given in the chapel,
entitled, "A Rank Docoption," provod
quite worth of th namo. Tho decep
tions, Intentional anj unintentional,
WTro woll taken, and enjoyod by tho
fair sized crowd which witnessed the
performance. Tho same high praise
Is due each nnd evory member of tho
cast, and the specialty stunts between
arts wore quite in keeping with the
completeness of tho "Deception."
After the play a largo crowd took
advantago of tho opoprtunlty t dance.
The Art hall was decorated In tho col
ors of '07, and a neat program In tho
same colors, purple and gold, was uscd
containing thirteen regular and three
extra numbers. The evonlng's enter
tainment by '07 went off very smooth
ly, and was enjoyed by a crowd suf
ficiently large to place a neat Bum of
money in tho class treasury. Tho com
mittee in charge of the affair proved,
by their thorough work, that they were
well chosen.
Debating Club.
In spite of the great excitement and
the various attractions that the Fresh
men and Sophomoro classes-offered last
Saturday night, tho same largo crowd
which of lato characterizes tho meet
ings of the "Students" Debating club
found Its way into Union hall.
Tho usual routine of business was
dispensed with in tho usual manner
and tho arguments produced for and
against the disfranchisement of the
r.cgro did ample credit to tho partici
pants.
When the question for tho next
meeting, "RcEolvcd, That military
drill, as In voguo at the Unlvorsity of .
Nebraska is un-American," was an
nounced, and volunteers, for tho af
firmative called for, forty hands, en
ergetically pawed tho air, but O'Gara
and Peterson, being first recognized by
tho chair received tho much coveted
places. After duo persuasion Messrs,
Fenian and Thompson reluctantly con
sented to speak for the negative.
This question arose over the recent
ruling of the Board of Regonts upon
recommendations of the commandant,
and these rulings will be particularly
involved In tho debate.
An invitation la extended to Capt.
Chase and all other military spirits to
come and by their presonco and preju
dices assist in defending the negative.
Iofessor W. F. M. Gobs, Dean of
Mechanical Engineering at Purdue
university will address the Engineer
ing society March 13. Tao executive
comlmtteo of tho society desires to '.
send special invitations to all who de
sire to attend and also to any of tho
