of th6 department from now on will

UNIFORMS TO COST LESS
BID OF CINCINNATI FIRM IS LOW
EST AND CONTRACT
AWARDED.
Announcement was definitely made
yesterday by tho uniform committee,
composed of Chancellor Avery and
Commandant Yates, that tho bid for
tho manufacture of tho university
cadet uniforms had again been given
to a foreign firm Pettlbono Bros.
Mfg. Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. This con
tract has been made aB a result of
free-for-all bidding from all local and
forelgn-flrmB. -Three-JpcaUfirmB-mflde
bids for the contract; also eight other
companies. Pettlbono Bros. Mfg. Co.
were the manufacturers of tho uni
forms made last year, and mado a bid
this year of $11.40. tho lowest bid for
cadet uniforms in tho history of the
institution.
Judging from the samples which
accompanied this bid, tho uniforms for
next year will.be equally as good aB
any ever used at Nebraska, and prob
ably much more serviceable. Until
recently tho purchase of uniforms
was consigned to tho local Pershing
Rifles, but in view of tho fact that
this organization is not a complete
representation of tho cadet regiment,
further contracts, through them, will
not be permitted. This eliminates all
middle-men profits, so that cadets
hereafter will receive their military
clothes at cost prices. ,

Failure of Clerk to Distinguish
Deltas Causes Trouble.
A story of a case of waBtod gal
lantry Is boing told on ono of; tho
prominent frntornitles in school. A
certain Bororlty with which said frn
tomlty 1b particularly friendly was
holding a banquot last Saturday night

ed it would bo a nice thing to send
tho girls somo flowers and a member
of tho fraternity was accordingly dol
egated to attend to the matter. It
Booms ho telephoned tho Llndoll
hotol and was given to understand
that tho banquet was bolng given
there, and upon tho strength of this
Information Bent a messenger boy up
with tho posIob. It hupponed that an
other sorority" with a similar namo
was holding a banquet thorp, thotrqu;
bio being that tho clork could not dis
tinguish ono "Delta" from another. Ab
a consequonco of this little blunder

and tho snld fratornlty Is now won

GYMNASTIC EXHIBITION FRIDAY
THE PYRAMID DANCE TO BE BIG
FEATURE EVENT OF THE
PROGRAM.
Several details regarding tho spv
cnth annual gymnastic exhibition to
bo held in tho Armory Friday, March
24, have been mado known by the di
rectors of the departments represent
ed. Tho demonstration of tho first
year gymnastics, Including calisthen
ics, apparatus exercises, and games by
members of tho first year class under
the direction of O. F. Field will bo tho
best of the men's first yenr work.
Tho pyramid dance, also under tho
direction of Mr. Field, will probably
bo the featuro of tho men's exercises.
This will be a novel exercise, and, if
anticipations aro true and the men
hold up their present standard of
work, It will In appearance excel all
other events. Tho work on tho long
horse will bo a good representation
of apparatus work, while tho pyramids
by tho members of tho Gymnastlce
Leaders' club will be a commendable
supplement to tho number.
Ruby has challenged Munson to
wrestle for tho welter-weight cham
pionship of the university. Tho fact
that 'Ruby throw his man easily at
Iowa and Munson Is some heavier
promises to make this event Interest
ing and exciting. , Munson has accept

Tho first intorcolleglato wrestling
tournnmont In which Nebraska univer
sity participated, between Nobrnska
and Iowa, was won dociBlvoly by tho
Nebraska representatives. It was hold
Tuesday night In tho Armory of tho
Iowa stato university, Iowa City.
Tho Nobrnskans won tholr matches
in straight falls, requiring six falls In
tho thrco events. Elliott, of Nobras
ka, throw Occoncr of Iown easily;,
time of falls, 41 mlnuteB nnd D min
utes, respectively. Ruby, weight 140,

weight 1G2, twice BuccoBslvoly; tlmo
8 minutes and 1 hour nnd 15 minutes.
A Big 8uccess.
Tho success of Nebraska in this first
of tho intorcolleglato contests is cer
tainly a credit to tho school and tho
representatives. That wrestling tour-nnmonts-.-willrbc-instnlled-afl
a-part-of-tho
annual Intercollegiate athletic
meets is now almost an assured fact.
That Nebraska should win In every
weight event is also remarkable. Al
though Elliott had the best of tho
weight with his contestant, tho easo
with which he downed him showed
that a larger man would have had as
meager chanccB. In tho other events,
tho Iowa wrestlers wore picked by
many of tho Iowa papers as easy win
ners, since they wore of equal wolght
and posBOBBed tho. so-palled "prowess,7
but nevertheless the Iowa men failed
to get a single fall.
