LAST BASKET BALL
BASKET-BALL TEAM RETURNS
, ,- , .;
FROM TRIP.
Interest of University Fans now Cen-
tered In the Inter-Fraternity
Indoor' Track Meet.
' The University baskot-ball Bquad re
,, turned Sunday from their minimi trip
to the norm and east. The success
. which the Cornhusker five enjoyed
r earlier In the season aroused strong
hopes' among the supporters of the
team for a successful trip, but, con-
, trary to 'expectations the trip resulted
r.v.ery disastrously. . Of the eight games
, -played the Cornhuskers were able to
win only one.
Although most of the defeats were
decisive, y t there are many things to j
be said In extenuation of the poor
showing, which Jessen considerably the
sting of dofeat, .
First the joam began the trip in a
weakened condition. Burr.us; who has
been one o'f the mainstays of the team, i
did not leave with tne team nor did
he" find it possible to join them at Iowa I
City, for the last two games as It was
hoped he might. Dwlght Bell had beon
111 for several days before leaving with
the team and doubtless his weakened
condition made It Impossible for him
. .to put up hlB usual fast game. Captain
tPaul Bell "did not participate in either
of the Minnesota games on account of
being ineligible according to the con
tract, for the ganies. This string of
misfortunes doubtless tended to dls
"i courage the other members of the
team and may account for the poor
basket shooting arid the llfeloss play
ing displayed on the trip. Walsh,
whose work at center Is usually bril
liant, made such a poor showing that
after the Wisconsin ganle he was shift
. ed.to forward arid "J A. SpUmidt put In
at, center, j , ' , ... ,
. Dr. Clapp says that. In addition to
the general atmosphere of misfortune
and discouragement which accompan
' , led the team, they wore continually
J ehcbifnterlng uarfl luck. Jn the Wis
consin gamp for instance, the Cornhus---
kcrs played an .excellent game at pass
ing and guarding, but,, were unlucky
-at.basket throwing; , out of about forty
opportunities for floll goals In this
game, (at least. teri0bf which would
haye been regarded as certain scores
' 'umier ordinary, circumstances) Nebfas-
vjikajgot only' one field goal. J,

PALLADIAN PLAY.
Aladdin, Or The Wonderful Lamp Was
Given.
Friday evening long bofore time for
the curtain to rise .tho Palladian hall
was filled with membors and .visitors
The occasion-was an-codenta.lclasslc
drama entitled "Aladdin and the Won
derful Lamp," presented by the girls
of the Palladian Literary Society. Tho
play was a dramatic story of Arabian
Nights. More than thirty poople par
tlclpatedi each -lady acting her part
In so natural and effective a way that
encores were frequently calledior1 by
the, audience. The stage scenery was
very appropriate and quickly changed
to suit the' sceno. The costumes used
were very beautiful, tholr value being
over $1,000. Tho electric light arranger
ment added much to the play, egpeilal

A large audience listened to tho last
lecture of ProfoBBor Powers in tho
Tomplo thoater Saturday oyening. HIb
final lecture dealt mainly with tho
tomb of Popo Julian, tho sacristy In
Florence and tho Last Judgment. Tho
following Is a brief summary of tho
lecturo:
The tomb of Popo Julian was, tho
dream of Michaolangelo's life and un
doubtedly would havo been tho mas
torploco of tho world had ho been nblo
to finish it according to his. original
designs. When Popo Julian gave him
the commission ho wont feverishly to
work and In eight months hud oight
or ton statues finished, ulthough any
one of them would bo an ordinary
yoar'B work. It was found that St.
Poter's was too small for tho tomb, so
it was torn down and tho present edi
fice was started, but tho enemies, of
Mlchaolangolo persuuded Pope Jullnn
to discontinue tho work on account of
lack of funds. Tho work. was. never
resumed by Mlchnelangelo and we can
obtain only a faint Idea of tho work
as ho intended it to be. Of tho eight
or ten.Btntues that have beon finished,
the most striking 1b that of Alosea, on
tho tomb of Julian. This statue has
beon very severely criticized on, ac
count of its technique, the head la' en
tirely too small for tho body and the
draperies are arranged very awkward
ly, but these criticisms como from
studio critics. The teacher mmjt drub
into tho Btudent that all things must
bo drawn in proportion and that ho
must learn to mak6 the hand tho slave
oj Jthooyo so that it w(lljproducp abso
lutely what the eye sees. You must

is a portrait of Popo Julian and
suggests incipient action and, oven

HIb statte of tho Bound Slaye,
which was to bo placod on tho lower

Grimm as ''the moat beautiful statue
I know," The expression 1b profound
ly pathetic and is prophetic of what
WftB to follow In tho. life- of IMlchael
angelo. Popo Julian died and ws
succeeded by Pope 1x50 X and he by
Pope Clement VII. Clement VII or
dered Michaelangelo to build a tomb,
which took tlio form of a sacristy, in
