Price 5 Cents f ? : ' f Jl THE GAME GALLED OFF Girls Will Not Meet Minnesota at Basketball This Year. Nebraska Refused Frlrllefte of Selecting One OHctal for the Ui'mt. If anybody wantB tx bring "that tired look?' to the countenance of ono of the Nebraska first team girls, he nee orily mentloil the1 Minnesota bas ket ball game, -which has been on and oft and Off and on now for several months. For this year the game has i new been given up Tot good and all it seems. Three times has a- propsi tljrn for a game been promtly accept ed4, and three times has a game failed' td make good. The first proposition from Minnesota was for an exchange of games-, one to take place in Lincoln, oS in Minneapolis. As soon as this was- accepted word was sent that a ' game in Lincoln was no longer possi ble, since Minnesota had changed its mind and had decided to play at Fargo instead. There could' be but one game, and that in Minneapolis. When this v plan was agreedi to, and a date accept ed; word followed that by this timo the date had1 been otherwise filled and there could be no game. Hence nego tiations stopped, on both sides. Lost week came a third proposition, also property accepted, naming1 March 17 as tfctrdato for a game. In the wake ' oi this, however, came a communica- J tion setting forth that noither the Ne braska official in tho Minneapolis game of last spring, nor tho Nebraska official in- the recent men's gamo at Minneapolis would be accepted as an officer. Instead two Minneapolis offi cials were proposed. Such was the tone oi the message and its premature hypo theses concerning Nebraska's officering that the Nebraska players were on the bWnk of withdrawing their acceptance then and there. However, negotiation were continued; for the homo team is Nr very strong one this year, and the trip- had been announced though by this time Interest in the "Minnesota game" bad! grown rather half-hearted' and neither of the tabooed officials would have consented to servq in Min neapolis again. Mr. R. D. Anderson was named as referee, Nebraska pre ferring to not wholly waive its right tc this officer and he was asked to accompany the teami The response from Minnesota was tho peremptory ultimatum, "Must have Deering (Min nesota) for referee, or arrangements cancelled." This message was received Friday -i morning ana7 imaay morning me me braska management cancelled the game glad to have tho haggling and indeci sion over, and to deal for tho rest of the season with people who knew what tttey wanteds and who omitted in their preliminary negotiations with a girls' team, hypotheses and methods of a kind not hitherto, experienced in the .conduct of local womon's athletics. A meeeagft came later in the which Min- ljlapolft receded from its ultimatum, aod accepted Anderson; but by this time not a. member of the team felt like making the trip into a region apparently so hostile, and the cancel- i tt I M 4 t it it it n it n it it n u it it it it it it n it it n it it it it it it it m Senior Prom Lincoln Hotel, Match M Walt's Full 0chesta TICKETS S2.60. imn ling of tho day beforo was not with drawn. Tho difficulty about coming to terms us not attributed in any way to the players of the Minnesota team, with whom relations have been very friendly, and whom Nebraska would like to meet again, but rather to foot ball methods of management, and to the spirit of Minnesota men's athle tics in this case transferred to girls' ahtletlcs. Compared to the majority of teams, the gophers seem rather poor losers. The schedule of the Nebraska girls still involves a game in Kansas and one in Missouri, and possibly ono in Omaha In April. The game in Mis souri will bo the "line game' with bIx players on a side, and will be played on a very small floor, having three pil lars in the way, and under a low cell ing. No ono will be surprised if Ne braska loses, but a very pleasant Btay la expected. DR. WANLESS TO MEDICS. SCORES A HIT. The Dramatic Club Plays Receive Applause Saturday Night. The most successful play in the career of the Dramatic club was pre sented Saturday night before an audi ence the) size of which, reflected very complimentary to the established repu tation of that organization. The two comedies, "Miss Civilization" and "Mr. Bob" were played in a manner which would have reflected credit to many a professional troupe. Both plays had very clover plots and were rich in com ical and ridiculous- situations which hold the audience in a continual strain of laughter and applause. The plays, especially 'Mr. Bob," possessed unus ually complicated and difficult plots and the cast deserve the more credit on this account for the smoothness- and easo with which they were presented. Much credit for the success of the plays Is due Miss Howell who gener ously devoted a large share of her time in the interests of the Dramatic club, and without whoso skillful and thorough training the undertaking would not have succeeded. Miss Min nie Hiller, who directed' "Mr. Bob" and MTbs Mediae and Roy Sunderland who managed "Miss Civilization" are deserving of much credit for the suc cess of the plays. The members of the cast were with out exception artists behind the foot lights and filled their places admirably. A portrait of yourself by Townsend will be just the thing for an Easter remembrance.

Wanless, a medical mis sionary from Maraj, India, spoke to tho students of tho College of Medicine yesterday morning at 11:30 a. m. In 301 on the "Medical Practice in tho Orient." Ho first discussed tho various diseases in India which produce tho great degrco of mortality. He told of tho conditions leading up to this and described the means that they had used to combat them. According to Dr. Wanless tho number of people In tho Orient in comparison to tho number of educated physicians is enormously greater than in tho United States. Theie are In the United States about 'One educated physician to every 575 people. In India thero is one to every 25,000 people and in China there are one to every 200,000 people. The na tive physicians in the Orient know nothing of tho structure of the body and hence can do nothing in surgery, and their medical work is purely a matter of givlrig medicine without the aid of surgery. Dr. Wanless considers tho opportun ity for study thero lo bo something very great. An educated" physician has any number of cases. Speakjng of his own experience the doctor said that he had between 80,000 and 90,000 cases in his fifteen years of practice there. ,He also stated! that he had performed 1500Q surgical operations in the last year. And this he further stated was no more than many other physicians had done. The opportunity for the trained phy sician to exert a strong moral Influence he thought, was very great thero. The physician has a greater Influence than any other man not excepting the min isters and his Influence there Is far greater than anywhere else. Dr. Wanleso believes that the whole educational and medical conditions in tho Orient will havo been changed and twenty-five years from now, and that the ideal time is- at hand for the young physician to take up his work there. In summarizing he said that ho would urge the young doctor to begin practice in the Orient for three, rea sons: First, because of tho opportunity to do good and relievo the enormous amount of suffering; secondly, because of the magnificent opportunity for the development of a high degree of pro fessional skill; and lastly because of the great moral influence that the phy sician was able to exert in the Orion t. Dr. Wanless Is only visiting what ho considers tho leading medical schools of the east and west and Nebraska, is to-be congratulated on having a medi caid college that la ranked in the lead ing class.

Mr. Qlbbs. president of tho Engineering: Society, Introduced the speaker and oxpresBOd tho appreciation which tho student all felt for this sacrifice of time of tho Purduo professor. Mr. Goes' speech was a message of encouragement to tho young engineer. Ho firet explained tho scope of an en gineer's work. Tho vast Industries aro the products of his toll and brains. Engineers, he said', were tho mediums between science and practico, between theory and capital. An engineer unit ed tho knowledge and learning of the Btudent with the capital of tho business world Iriio a production of more wylth. Mr. Goso, realizing tho struggle that the engineer must pass through, went on to picture the value of such a pro fession. The engineer's path is a long hard road, but If the travoler becomes Interested vast newi fields aro spread out UFTiis view. Tho qualities that make an engineer is not more trudg ing along. It requires courage, deter mination and' unsworving horiesty. For his success depends upon tho confidence and reputation that he has established. To be an englnoer ono must bo a accurate as the machine that he pro duces. Ho must be broad minded and able to write correctly and thing con scientiously not only of his very tech nical work but of the genorai affairs about him. His fidelity to his profes sion and to the truth is the character istic that makes his profession stand out In contrast to all others. Thero Is always perplexing difficul ties in his way, contention betweon em ployer and contractor and questions of dollars and cents versus durability and soundness, but he should take his- firm Lstand, know which way la right and snow tnat way in its true light to his enipjoyorfl. The engineer wtto wishes to be-successful must lovo his profes sion for tho profession's sake. No task 1b to hard for him, no duty from which ho will shlrkand no need that calls to hirudin vain. Speaking- the rernunqration of the engineer thero was; no royal 'engineer's path to wealth. An engineer) waft paid In proportion to his ability. The en gineer without originality is a more machino and will be paid accordingly. It is the engineer who accete respon sibility and fulfills bis trust that makes the successful engineer, not successful in monoy, but more so in tho great monuments of civilization that lie leaves behind. This feeling that bo ll doing; something In- the world 'that he is maklngi the world better and bright er, is the best pay of the true engineer, Magazine Appears.
