A
TEAM LEAVES TOMORROW
BASKETBALL SQUAD TO INVADE
LAND OF THE GOPHER.
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.

to investigate the cab question, ap
peared in tho court of Justice Fuller
ton yesterday morning to dofond a
suit for cab hire by Eugono Levi. Tho
debt is nllegcd to havo been contract
ed on May G.
Tho defendant, through his legal ad
visors, asked for a continuance of
thirty days on tho ground that a dolay
would be necessary to secure the
presence of witnesses whoso testimony
was essential to his case. W. W.
Towne, attorney for tho plaintiff, in
sisted on an nirtdavlt being filed in
support of tho continuance. This was
furnished and tho date of tho trial
set. Then Lulkhart and his , legal
bodyguard marched out, smiling' after
paying the eighty-live cents for tho
continuance.
Tho attorney for Levi declares that
ho will ask that subpoenas bo Issued
for tho" young women who accompa
nied Lulkhart and Coy, his compan
ion, to tho university function on May
G, last, when tho cab was hired. It
Is possible that others who were pres
