BASKET JBALL FIVE
RETURNS FROM EA8TERN TRIP IN
BAD CONDITION.
Worn Out by Minnesota Games Lost
Six Out of Nine Contests Met De
feat at Grlnneli and Iowa City.
The. basket-ball team roturned last
Sunday morning from its long trip
much battered up, and tlioroly worn
out, but still game. It was a hard ex
perience and the men certainly deserve
great credit for acquitting themselves
.as well as they did. Travelling about
every day, playing every night, and
crippled up in the beginning games,
the wonder is that they came so near
winning thbse which they lost. In-
"GEOGRAPHY OF NEBRA8KA."
Dr. Condra's New Book Clever and
Useful.
Dr. George Evert Condra, professor
of geography and economic geology in
the University of Nebraska, is the au
thor of a small text book on the geog
raphy of Nebraska. Tho volume is of
about 200 pages and contains much
useful information to the people of the
state, young young or old. Realizing
that there was a lack of geographical
literature in Nebraska Dr. Condra pre
pared his volume with much caro and
it is practically the result of his per
sonal experience in the state while he
was engaged with the Nebraska geo
logical survey and also the United
States geological survey. Data for' the'
work Iibb also been furnished by Prors.

deed, It may well be said that Ne
braska never sent out a team that
played better basket-ball. There is
little doubt ,that, with favorable con
ditions, they would have won every
'game on, the trip, save possibly tho
first with Minnesota.
' The mdn were no nearly exhausted
ixftor the second game with Minne
sota, which resolved itself into a foot
ball game,-, that they were not in phys
ical condition to do themselves justice
during the rest of the trip. Toward tho
end of the trip, tho men lacked the
endurance necessary to playing a full
t game, and this accounts for their los
ing out so many times in the last lew
minutes of play. Tho Minneapolis
pai&rs spoke very highly of the Corn:
htiBfters, declaring their standard of
play of the highest order.

Exhibition" of sport, for sport's sake,
h bovs deserve all credit, as much
credit as if they had won, It is hoped

Thus Anno C. B. Allenson protests,
In Tho Nation for February 14, against
pratftnit-tratnlng for women. Whllo
shoVspeaks especially of collegos for
women only, her remarks apply in gen
eral to any college training for women,
whether co-educational or not. Tho
college, she says, should give td girls
useful information, train the reason
lngvpowors, and cultivate a sensitive
response to cultural influences of the
widest sort. Most important of all, it
should give "larger Interests and a
comprehension of universal rather
than., pergonal, standards." "A woman
whose center of thought Is shifted
from herself to tho universe Will prob
ably command beneficent po,wers thru-
out her life and do her part, toward
saving the republic."
All thlB, tho writer assumes, the col-,
lege cannot accomplish If Its aim Is
