In spite of the fact that tho William Jewell game was advertised to be the laBt basketball game of, the season, two post-season games with tho Oma ha Y. M. C. A. have been scheduled, the flrtt to be played in Omaha Mon day, March 27th, and Ihe other here on Friday, March 31st. The result of these .two contests will decide the state basketball championship. Twice be fore this season we have met the Oma ha team, defeating them on their floor iu Omaha, and suffering defeat at their hands on our own floor a short time atterwards. These additional games mean some more hard training for the basketball men. The Omaha team has always been" Ihe hardest kind of a proposition and that tneir team this year Is fully up to the usual standard the outcome of bur last game with them proves. It is probatye that an informal dance will be arranged after the game In the Armory', although uothinsr definite in this direction has-l yet been done.

Yerk Observatory, possessing the largest telescope in the world, nn im mense 40-lnch instrument, was next shown. A view of the great Naval Observatory at Washington, a govern ment institution, followed. The famous Gieenwlch, England, Observatory, was very interesting as it marked the zero longitude of the world. Prof. Swezey .concluded with views of the Harvard Observatory, which is considered the greatest in the country, judged not from the size of its telescopes, but for its excellent work for the science of Afctronomy. Track Mass Meeting. The Inter-Fraternity baseball sched ule Is progressing fine and all that Is lacking is the ratification of the fra ternities. This will be considered at a meeting on Wednesday evening. Claude Robertson, manager of the schedule, has seen every fraternity (cmcerning representation and finds that ten will have a team in the field. I? these ten were to play games with each other forty-three games would constitute the series, but this cannot be accomplished for lack of time. In older to cut the number of games down and get within the limits of the time Robertson has divided the "frats" into two divisions, North and South. There are five In each division. By doing this the number of games was cut down from forty-three to twenty three. By this manner intense enthusiasm will be manifested by the time of the championship game between the win ners of, the Noith and South side di isionp. It is the intention of the management to start the ganfes as soon as possible. Prof. Sweezey at Chapel. Prof. S-vvezey, gave the'thlrdof his series of illustrated lectures"at Convo cation yesterday. Prof. Swezey's lec tures upon phases of astronomy, while not lacking scientific qualities are very .popular and yesterday's address proved to be not less Interesting than the pievlous ones. The subject of his lec tHire was "Astronomical-Observations.' He began with a few Introductory re marks concerning observations of the middle ages, showing views of the crude Instruments used In the sixteenth century. He then explained ihe re quisites foran ideal observatory, one of these, contrary to popular opinion, being that it should be a low building Today at Chapel time there will be a mass meeting of all the candidates for the track team. At this time all the men expecting to try for a place on the track team are urged to meet. The object of this meeting is to get the men together and learn the events each Intend entering so more system atic work may be carried on. Some of the men have been able to practice be fore this time while others have not .been able to do any training whatever ii thel revents. Dr. Clapp will speak to the men and give them some general directions about the niles to be followed while in training. He will also set time for the men in each event- to practice. So if you are interested in track work and want to get into the spirit of the work attend the meeting. Westinghouse Lecture. Mr. Chas. E. Downton, Foreman of Apprentices of the Westinghouse Com pany of Pittsburg, Pa., will speak this eening at eight o'clock in the Chapel on the apprenticeship work with his company. The lecture will be Illus trated by moving pictures showing the Interior of the shops and the men at work. These pictures were a most at tractive featiuc of the Westinghouse Company's exhibit at St. Louis. The department of apprentices of the large manufacturing companies is of the greatest' importance to technical grad uates. It will also be most entertain ing, as well as Instructive to the pub lic generally. Those who saw these pictures at St. Louis last summer speak highly of them and do not regret the time lost from the "Pike" while they visited the Westinghouse theater HAVE GREAT TRIP The Geology Boys Have a Good Outing.

Sixteen students oi the classes In Agricultural and Field Geology, ac companied by Dr. Condra of the Geol ogy Department, enjoyed a very pleas ant outing last week at Meadow, Neb., Just north of Louisville on the Piatt? valley. Three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, were spent In studying the structure of the country, tracing the lime stone clay and other beds which outcrop In the slope, and study ing the clay pits, lime stone quarries, stone criiBhers, etc., etc. The country along the Platte is one of the best places in the state for the geologist to work. A little time was taken each day for recieation by the members of tho party and basketball and other sports were.engaged in to add to the pleasure of the occasion. About two hours of each evening was spent around the camp fire listening to speeches and stories made by thoso present. In this line of snort Mr. Ed. Manning, Mr. Gllmote MacDonald and Mr. J. E. Edgerton proved to be the star performers. Messrs. Manning and MacDonald scored several touchdowns on story telling while Edgerton crossed the tape sereral yards to the good ou his wit which prevailed on all occa sions. The boys report a very pleasnnt and enjoyable experience and the only re gret expressed Is that the time devoted to the occasion could not be lengthened.
