Five.
Nebraska, 31; Wisconsin, 35.
Tho Nebraska basket-ball five will
play the last game of tho present trip
at Grinnoll, Iowa, tonight and will re
turn to Lincoln early tomorrow morn
ing. The Cornhuskers mot tho Iowa
University team at Iowa City last
night.
Several members of tho team wore
Injured in tho Marshflold and Portage
games and aro in poor condition for
the contest with Grinnoll. The Iowa
College five claims the state champion
ship, having recontly defeated the
Unlvorslty of Iowa basket-ball team,
which has formerly hold that honor.
The following dispatch regarding tho
Grinnoll five appeared in tho Chicago
Record-Herald yesterday:
For tho first time In several years
Iowa College has an excellent claim
to tho Btate championship in basket
ball, not only of tho college teams, "but
of tho Y. M. C. A. teams as well. In a
florpely contested game played at
Grinnell the-scarlet and black players
succeeded In defeating the Y. M. C. A.
team from Des Moines, admitted to be
tho strongest organization of Its kind
In Iowa. In the game at Grinnoll the
CongrogaUonalists won by tho score of
33 to 24.
As it Is, not expected that any fur
ther game will be played by the two
schools, Grinnell appears to have the
best claim to tho state title. Grinnell
had previously defeated all of the col
lege teams in tho state, and there does
not seem to bo any possibility of losing
the coveted honor.

NEW CONVOCATION
R. W. BRECKINRIDGE ON 8PIRIT
OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
Dominating Influence in American
History the Westward Movement
The Citizenship of Today and
Tomorrow, a Citizenship
of Culture.
The now foaturo of convocation, tho
sories of five o'clock lectures on Fri
days, opened most auspiciously last
ovonlng with nn oloquont and vory In
teresting address by Ralph W. Brock
onrldgo of Omaha on "Tho Spirit of
American History."
Mr. Breckonrldgo spoke In part as
follows: Tho makers of history have
always been actors on tho stago of tho
world. But tho study of history opens
up a wider horizon thnn events and
facts and tho persons who figure In
them, It takes Into account all tho In
fluences that have boon shaping and
making possible theso things since tho
beginning of time.
In American -history nil tho Influ
ences of tho last 400 yoars have been
shaping events of today. Tho domi
nating fenturo of it all has boon the
steady march of civilization and pro
gress westward. Wo must look toward
the West to understand tho spirit of
Amorlcan history. Tho surging tides
of population and tho roBtloss energy
of Amorlcan enterprise havo steadily
pushed our frontier west across the
mountains, over tho plains ,and the
desert, nnd beyond the mountains
again until there Is no moro west.
American history must bo studied,
analyzed and Judged by certain groups
of men. Thoir mental and moral
characteristics represent tho Ideals of
tho nation nnd tho product of Its life.
In no case Is this bettor manifested
than in tho splendid personality of
Theodore Roosevelt.
As was said before, tho movement
from soa to sea, from, tho eastern
fringe to tho western border of our
continent Is the most significant part
of its history. Coronado was tho first
explorer of tho West, La Salle and
many others followed. Geprge Rogers
Clark, the Moses of the Mississippi
Valloy, Lewis and Clark, and counties
hardy pioneers opened It up and mado
it known to the civilized community.
Gradually the settlors followed, push
ing out and on until they havo con
quorod not only the fertile wilderness,
but also the Groat Amorlcan Desert,
and mado It tho garden of the world.
Fifty years ago this part of the West
was a wilderness, today ft blossoms
with all the fruits of civilization and
progress and produces most of the food
of the nation.
But the spirit of American history
has also Its dark side. The truckling
of our nation to tho slave-holder will
always bo a disgrace, our treatment
of the Indian is a shame to our neonla.
Wo robbed him of his land and, worse,
ruined him with whlsky,until today
he Is fast disappearing from the face
of tho earth. '
However, the signs of today are
hopeful, the history of the future Is
the history of culture, in the past,
