Al CONTEST WITH CREIGUTOH Universities Believed to Generally Favor Plan of Kansas City Ath letic Association. Culminating from Eevcrnl circular letters published by the Kansas City Athletic association It Is at present alriiost certain thnt a Missouri Valley conference tennis tournament will be held at Kansas City, .May 18 and 19. This announcement was yesterday made known by It, E; Weaverllng, president of the local club. Nebraska and Missouri Favorable. For several years It has been the desire of tennis players of the col leges In the conference to meet In an annual official tournament. The defi nite action of the Kansas association has, therefore, received much favor able endorsement from the better class conference schools. According to the by-laws of the conference; at least -thrce-schools-muBt-exprBn-.aillrin atlve answer to the submitted tennis proposition. Up to date, Nebraska and Missouri have made such expres sion, and, In all probability, Kansas will soon follow suit. If Kansas does not take the initiative, Drake or Washington, may bo expected to favor tho tournament. In either Instance it is sure to be a reality. The Crelghton Match. Further announcement was made by the local club authorities that Nebras ka would meet Crelghton for tho inter collegiate championship on April '29. This Is' tho first time that these schools have scheduled a contest for the court, but it .promises to bo one of the best matches In which Nebras ka will participate. Crelghton has al ways been strong at the racquet game, having the big advantages afforded by the Omaha clubs.' The Nebraska rep resentatives for this event will be Weaverllng and Smith, doubles, and Gobdbody and Tate, doubles. Good body was recently called to New York City because of hlB father's death, and In case he does not return by the 29th another member of the squad will tie up withJTate. Tho only other Intercollegiate match (or Nebraska this spring, aBlde from the conference contests, will be the annual event with Wesloyan. Wes leyan Is reported as strong as over this year, which, to say the least, 1b sufficient recommendation to warrant the prospects of ample good varsity material. Nothing decisive has yet been donq relative .to tho local spring tournament, although it is rumored that thiB will not be a feature of the tennis program this year. Consider able dissatisfaction was manlfoBt last year among the squad members be cause of so much inexcusable delay in pulling off matches In the local events. Resulting from this, It Is highly probable that the local, tourna ment will be dispensed with this year. Trnnrfoini FRANK AND HASCALL OUT.

A HORRIBLE MISTAKE RECTIFIED Date for the Sophomore Hop Is April 28, and No Conflict. Mistakes will happen. Yesterday the Daily Nebraskan made announce ment of the sophomore hop for tho twenty-second, day of the month. The member of the committee who gave the data to the reporter made a mis take, or in everyday language, he had his dates mixed. The sophomore dance Is not to be held on next Saturday night, but one week from then. The correct date Is April 28, and not as announced yesterday. Some anxiety was caused by the misleading-arflele for one or the bo rorities, which is to hold its annual formal party at tho Lincoln on Satur day, began to wonder whether the sophomores or the sorority actually had the charter for the hall. A call at the Nebraskan office by a couplo of the sorority girls brought tho happy information that it was only one of those awful unavoidable blunders, which make explanations necessary.
