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-

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.

will be just the thing for an Easter
remembrance. You must sit at once.

Iminent Medical Authority of India
Addresses Students.
Dr. W. J. 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.

PROF. GOSS SPEAKS
Engineers Enjoy Lecture by Head
of Department at Purdue.
The Kntftaeor and His Work Prove Verr
Intereetfaf Sohjeet.
All the onglncers and many otherB
LcrowdedV into chapel last ovening to
hear Prof. Ooss of Purdue. 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,
