WASHINGTON, IOWA AND DRAKE NOT ON THE 8CHEDULE. fOUR VALLEY TEAMS TO MEET AMES, KAN8A8 AND MISSOURI TO PLAY NEBRASKA. Basketball Schedule of Missouri Val ley Conference Causes Change In Scheme of Deciding . Championship. Dr. R. G. Clapp of the department of physical education and O. F. Field, coach of the University basketball team, have returned from Des Moines, where they attended the meeting of the Missouri Valley oaskctbail league Saturday. All the schools of the conference wore represented with the exception of Washington. Grlnnell, Des Moines college, and Highland Park also Bent representa tives an delegntoB. Ofllcers were elect ed. Prof. John L. Griffith of Drako university was chosen president and Dr. R. G. Clapp of the University of Nebraska was re-elected secretary. The larger part of the meeting was taken up witha discussion of the rules and their Interpretation. No -radtc;il-chnngoBwero-4nado,-but.all,the. schools came to an understanding as to what each rujo should apply to and the conditions under which it wub to bo enforced. To Arrange Schedule. The primary purpose of the meeting was to arrange a basketball schedule for the teams representing the schools of the conference and here the delegates met with some dlfllculty. Washington, on account of financial difficulties, will not have a basketball team this year, and Iowa, which is also a member of the Chicago confer once, will bo'kept from playing games with teams In the Valley conference. Drako university,- which haB been on Nebraskas schedule for a number of years past, will bo out of It this year, because of a ruling passed at that school that no games will be allowed with teams outside of the state. ociwccn ruur i e.imu. t These things cut down the compe tition to four teams, and as a result the division of the conference as In the laBt two years into a northern and southern section will not, bo made this year. The championship In basket ball will then t be fought out between four teams Kansas, Missouri. Ames, and XcbrasHa. The managers con ferred about the matter, with Nebras kn represented by Coach Field InVthe absence of Manager Eager, and it was decided that each. team would j)lay four games, two on each 'floor. Not until the dateB which were scheduled for Xebroska have been approved by Manager Eager will they bo given out. But the fact that Kansas, Ames and Missouri will play on the local floor for two games each Is the basis for one of the best schedules In basket ball that Nebraska has over had. JOBS ARE GOBBLED UP.

This cab business Ib getting to -iiO-Boincthlng awful. They aro oven talking It over with tho girls. That 1b, one franternity mnn talked it over with two girls. He had the best of the talk. It waB thus: They were at a dance, this man and these two girls, and in the course of weighty conversation the subject of cabs naturally came up.. This cab subject Is In the habit of romlng up. When the man finally hnd a chance to slip in a word on the subject 'ho sensibly ejected this: "I'll tell you what I think about It- A lot of you girls come to the university from little dinky towns, where you would walk a mile and n half through six Inches of slush to go to a dance in your opera house, and now, just becauso you belong to sororities you expect to ride in cabs oven if you only have to go three blocks. Our bunch is strong for cutting It out." So are a numbor of bunches. It is rather a shame that such action is contemplated, lp view of the fact that the cab merchants nro so kind as to. decide not nto rnlao tho prlco, but It Is mooting with too much opposition. "Cabs Is cabs." "Street cars Is street cars." Formala is formais." Bear that In mind. Thero was more truth than poetry in that brave man's roniark. Ho must havo been a bravo man, becauso a few remarkB llko that aro enough to queer a "stand-In" anywhere. Now, no one denies tho useful ness of n cab. Its usefulness can not bo moasured in dollars and centB, although it usually is. To deny the usefulness of a cab would be as scandalous as to deny tho usefulness of a formal itself. Both are time-honored Institutions. But thero are tlmeB when a cab is about as necessary as an appendix which is not vory neceBBary. ThiB is not a criticism. Far be it from such. It is a plain state ment of a few bald facts, concern ing a question which stands a good chance of coming before the inter irJite.rnUyjcouiiciL THAN IN ANY PREVIOUS YEAR MAY 27 18 THE DATE OF THE 8ENIOR PRODUCTION. Play to Be Held for the University In stead of the Alumni and Senior Proructlon Has Not Been Selected. of work will within the next few days be offered to students for a short pe riod. So far students have simply gobbled up every job that has come to the notice of the employment sec retary. Arthur M. Bast. Several good positions were placed on file yester day, and others can be expected dally from now until about tho last of tho week. But the men who got there llrBt get tho jobs.
