barely had time to eat and dress be

rather 'unfit condition to play in their
bWt'''f5im.v "On this account and be
causp of a dispute over 'the rules, in
which Nebraska had to give way, tho
teams did not appear on the lloor until
nearly nine o'clock.
The game started at 9: 05, Mosor
scoring a goa for Nebraska in the
first ten seconds of play, but not be
fore the Kansas centor was put tem
porarily "hors de combat" by a severe
blow , on the npse, received In the
Initial melee. Play was resumed In a
few mlnutep arid a vapid succession of
fouls followed, neither side scoring on
the. free throws ensuing! Nebraska
' iwns guarding well and Kansas was
.unable to get away with the ball at
all,, but the Cornhuskers seemed ex
cited arid missed several easy chances
for'fleld goals. Nebraska made three
or four more fouls and Kansas scored
on two of them. Score, Nebraska 2,
Kansas 2. In the next play Walsh
scored the second field goal for Ne
braska and a minute later Moser
threw another, the ball being taken up
the field In one of the prettiest plays
of the evening. Two more soon fol
lowed, making the score 10 to 2, but
here Kansas scored twice on tries for
goal from fouls, raising her total score
to 1.
The game thruout and at this period
especially was characterized by the
valiant guarding of Dwight Bell. He
stopped several long passes and always
made things so warm for his opponent
that the latter was unable to get the
ball away successfully at all. Kansas
was unable to show any offensive
work wortfiy of the name, not making
a blngle field goal during the half.
Moser and Walsh threw several more
for Nebi aska before the gong sounded.

5 in favor of Nebraska.
The second half began with another
foul by Nebraska, Kansas scoring on
the throw Following this, Kansas
committed a series of fouls, Nebraska
scorlnK on one of them

pretty playing, Mosor and Walsh being
the stars. However, the Jayhawkers
were guarding bettor this half nnd It
became harder for Nebraska to score.
Indedd, Kansas got Into the offensive
game herself at this point and at last
scored a field goal. Nebraska 20, Kan
sas 8. In the next few minutes .the
Cornhuskers ran up the score to 28,
Kansas in the meantime getting an
other field goal and two free throws,
making 12 in all for her. In the last
few minutes of play Kansas got Into tho
game with a vengeance, making three
more field goals and getting another
free throw, making their total number
of points for the second half the same
as Nebraska's, 14-14. The game closed
a-moment later, tho final score being
32 to 19.

New Honorary Secret Political Society
Exposed.
A new secret society lias been
formed In the Sophomore class to con
sist of thirty "barbs" and three frnt
men. The members of the new society
say that It Is organized purely for so
cial purposes and to purify the ltloals
of the class, howover Its opponents
insist that its object Is political.
The organization is strictly honorary
as Its excluBivencBs Indicates and It Is
said to contain the cream of the class.
Membership In the society will probab
ly prove the most coveted of honors.
As Is the custom with similar organi
zations, the Wooden Sphinx will hold
Its first lnltation this evening at Rob
bers' Cave south of the city. Each of
the members will be dropped thru an
aperture In tJ.e roof of the cavern and
amused and instructed by other edify
ing stunts.
It is the hope of all within tho mystic
charmed circle that none of the vulgar
rabble will be so Inconsiderate as to
bring their profane optics to the scene
of the lnltation. Such an intrusion will
be regurded as "rank and contempti
ble by tho members.
Itt Is rumored that the Wooden
Sphinx Is solidly supporting S. P.
Dobbs for tho presidency of the class
and as Dobbs has not yet denied the
charge it is likely to stand against him.

Mr. Dotwller wns passing thru tho

and stopped a few hours to. visit with
Professor Miller, who asked him to
speak to the class. v
"The Forests of Colorado" was the
Bubject Mr. Detwller chose to speak
on, and he gave the class a kvast store
of Information about these mountain
forests. The class was glVon'tuT'dea:
of the planting operations in the Pike's
Peak Forest Reserve and of the kind
of timber that flourishes in the moun
tains. The Bpoaker also dwelt on the
relation of various trees to various
altitudes, and showed how, as vegeta
tion npprochds timber lino, the hardier
species of pine crowd out the weakor.
The talk was largely Impromptu, but
showed the sp'eaker to bo a thoro mas
tor of his subject, and a man with a
broad .experience in forest reserve
work.

Gamma fraternity house Friday.
Work on the first annual Cornhusker
Is progressing rapidly and the book
will be ready for tho press by tho last
of March. Much of the copy for tho
publication is now in the hands of the
editors and tho rest of It Is oxjiectod
to be turned In during the noxt few
weeks.
The 1908 Cornhusker will probably
be uniform In size with the last Som
brero, but will contain many moro
pages of inalorlal. .Cuts of the load
ing University organizations and so
cieties, with extensive write-ups will
be published. Beside an enlarged
"josh" department, with all the old
jokes .that antedate Rameses, the
book will run censured cartoons of the
leading characters in University life.
Mr. Herbert G. Myers, odltor-ln-clilef
of tho CornhiiBker, was Interviewed by
n representative of the Nebraskan yes
terday and discoursed on the coming
book as follows:
"Tho book, will be the 'best over,' "
said Mr. MyerB In beginning. "It will
be a small revolution in itself, for our
publication will be so mOch better than
any annual ever put out at this insti
tution that there will bo no comparing
It with the books that have gone he
fore. We tlo not wish to appear ego
tistical, but those who are 'next' to
things know that what I say Is tho

"Tho book will be well organized
and arranged. Serious material will
not be mixed with the lighter things.
You know that other books have been
a total failure In this ono respect
"This 1908 Cornhusker will cost
more, than any of Its predecessors. Wo
shall spend over ,$4,000 In getting it
out and will not have oven enough
left to buy a square meal. In short,
our book will cost more, look better,
have better material, nnd bo better
than any'other book that tho students
at this great school have published."
Jtfanager A. E. Burr of tho Corn
husker would not talk for publication.
