TO MEET MORNINGSIDE THURSDAY WEEK HAS BEEN SPENT IN HARD SCRIMMAGE. Frefihmen Are Showing Great Form Under Tutelage of Wllber Wood Hlltner to Get Into the Game. The university varsity basketball team will make their annual conquest on Minnesota state university this week-end. Arrangements have been made for the team to leave Lincoln Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, rout ing by way of Sioux City, and arriving In Minneapolis Friday afternoon pro pared for tho double-headed battle. Play Mornlng8ide. Also by way of intermediate prep aration, tho Cornhuskers will lay off at Sioux City Thursday evening and play MorningBide college. Morning side and Nebraska have always been friendly antagonists, especially so in Intercollegiate track meets, and the game Thursday evening is calculated to, bo a good appetizer for Gopher meat. It may prove even more than is prophesied. Nevertheless, it is not anticipated that Morningside will demonstrate any exceedingly strong baBfcetball proweBS, since they rank in the clasB of secondary colleges such as Wesleyan and Doane. Minnesota Friday and Saturday. Tho Minnesota games will bo played Friday and Saturday nights. Tho northerners are reported to have their customary invincible team anr side line "dope" gives tho Gophers tho best of tho odds. However, tho Ne braska boys will in all probability be In the best condition of the season thus far, slnco Hlltner, tho star centor who so unfortunately injured his eye In tho Ames second game and to whose disability to participate in the game may bo attributed in largo part the Nebraska humiliation, will prob ably bo in both games. Tho other men who will represent Nebraska In the rival state are as follows: Captain Hutchinson, Frank, Owen, and two of the following three: Kiddoo, Minor and Waters. White and Elliott are not slated for tho Journey. The varsity team has spent tho best of their practice this week in scrim mage work. Although' the results of the Minnesota game will figure in the Missouri Valley championship, the players have a keen deslro to "slip one over on them," and are making preparations fith this in view. Most of tho scrimmage work is carried on by. freshman iplayors who aro showing great form. t Coach W, S. Wood, tho Nebraska ox star forward, has developed remark able material from tho freshman can didates. Some of these men aro eas ily on a par with the varsity class and will indeed crowd tho present varsity members hard next year. Some -of tho most conspicuous examples of tho first year cohorts aro: Haskell, captain of the freshman team; Baldorson, Stryker, Nagl, Seaman, Underwood,. Trimbel, Hanzlick and Martin. Too -rouch-credlt can-r-hardly-r-be glven "Woody"' for his efforts to hew out some real basketball timber, similar to the'old school to -which ho belongs. BETA The Dally. Princetonlan, tho col lege daily of Princeton university, TinF created "a sensation in collegi ate circles by an editorial pub lished recently and headed, "What Is Phi Beta Kappa?" As organized now tho society is termed "useless" by the writer. Following is tho ed itorial: "It is a misnomer to refer to Phi Beta Kappa as a society in Prince ton, for It never exists during tho college course except for one short day at commencement, and then only during one short meeting for organization and tho distribution of keys. All that is known here of Phi Beta Kappa Is the bare knowl edge gleaned on tho last day of the college year that a certain few seniors have been granted the priv ilege of wearing tho key. Member ship in Phi Beta Kappa in Prince ton at present is impossible for the undergraduate and for gradur ate members means only tho right to wear the sign of an honpjp won. iT-lie usefulness- suoh-a-ooiety- should exorclso hero and doeB wield in many other universities, Is lost entirely under its present organiza tion. As an incentive to work, it is RECEPTION FOR "JOE." Farewells to Be Said This Evening in the Association Rooms. A very Informal reception will bo tendered Secretary J. L. Der Klndorn tonight after tho mid-week mooting of tho Y. M. C. A. It will not really be a reception, but rather a good fare well handshaking. Plans had almost, been completed for a big reception to be held Friday night, but tho an nouncement of his earlier departure put a stop to tho plans. No real re ception can be hold as there Is not time to prepare for such an affair. It was thought that Der Kindern was to remain in tho city until February 1, and tho change in his plans Is alone responsible for the abandonment or tho big reception which was being planned. Tho plans for tho handshaking to night simply call for tho presence of a good crowd of university men at the mid-week meeting and a chanco to say "good-bye." Ho oxpects to bo very busy Thursday proparlng to leave Lin coln on Friday morning, so this will probably be his last time spent at the Temple building ns the association secretary. Members .of tho board of directors and men of tho studont body in general are invited to attend tho il lustrated lecture at 6:45 o'clock in music hall of tho Temple building. Farewells will occur at tho closo of tho lecture, about 7:30 o'clock. ASKS FOR CONTINUANCE. Cab Case In Court Attracting Atten tion of Students.

EASTERN COLLEGE PAPER of little Importanco becauso It car ries with It no practical advantages In Itself. As a means to lnerooso general activity, it is useless, be cause its butterfly exlstenco lasts but a day. And as a honor, It re ceived far less attention and re spect than its high requirements make it deserve, becauso it is re vealed to tho general body of un dergraduates only on tho ono oc casion. "Why not elect men at tho be ginning of the Junior year who havo been high honor men in freshman and sophomoro years, thoreby af fording an opportunity for perma nent organization? Phi Kappa Beta would then bo a socloty in fact as well as in name. It could meet once a month for discussion. It could arrange lectures to bo deliv ered before It my men of prom inence outside.
