JH?i
His Departure Is 8evere Blow to Corn-
dusker Five and Leaves Coach
In Quandary.
Jimmy GlbBon, Nebraska's big 178
pound Tight forward, played hla last
gamo of the 1912 basketball season,
against AmoB, Saturday night. Gib
son left Lincoln Tuesday for Schuyler,
Nebraska, whero he will go to work
with his fathom
Gibson has proved tho star of the
Nebraska team this year, playing a
most remarkable game In the matter
of teamwork. Tho big fellow is easily
the best man of the Cornhuskers In
passing tho ball with two hands, and
his sureness and quickness has made
him a valuable man to Coach Stiohm,
a man on whom many of Nebraska's
plays wore centered.
In addition to being behind none of
the team In teamwork, Gibson scored
("a total of 1,02 points for Nebraska in
the games .this year, a record of
which, any pla,yor might bo proud. He
had not miBsed a gamo thuB far.
' Will Come Back, Though.
Nebraska is partially consoled' for
the loss of the husky basketball man
by tho knowledge that ho will bo back
next fall to play on tho football team
and 'with the basketball Ave again
next season.
Coach, Stiehm declares that he is
undecided as to whom lie will put In
tho place of, Gibson at right forward.
He has several men who would posn
slb'ly make good at filling in tho placo,
but the coach asserts that ho may
-and probably will change tho entire
, system of tho plays of the team now
that one of tho cogs of the five is
gone.
EX-EDITOR JETS THE HE
RALPH MOSELY, HEAD OF .THE
1910 CORNHU8KER, 18
DEPOSED.
Even an ox-editor 1b not immune
from tho official axe, as is evidenced
by tho removal of Ralph Mosely, edi
tor of tho Cornhuskor in 1910, from
the present staff of tho annual.
Mosely had occupied tho position of
Joke editor Blnco tho appointment of
the Cornhuskor staff last fall. Tho
"rush" season for annual copy has
set in and a sufficient number of
jokes haven't been forthcoming, so
Editor-in-Chief Dana Van Dusen re
moved Mosely Monday and appointed
Sam Buck, until recently editor of tho
Nebraskan, to tho place,
An additional position, that of joke
editress, also was created by the same
official mandate, Miss Ruth' Munger
receiving the appointment.
It is the Indention of the Cornhuskor
management to make tho jokes an
especial feature of the annual. j

RUMOR NOT TRUE.
The rumor, which was start-
ed yesterday, relative to a bus
pension of the publication of $
fc the Nebraskan was wholly un- $
true. The paper Is in debt, but
$ It has been debt for several
years. It's subscription list Is $
not yet complete for the second
semester it will not be until
after YOUR NAME is on the
sheet. The outlook for a sue- 4ft
cessful "Rag" was never better.
Help us boost!

MORE MOONLIGHT DANCES
FRE8HMEN TRYING TO PROVE
THEMSELVES NOT 80 UNSOPHISTICATED.
The freshmen may bo unsophisti
cated in some things, but not in all.
Ah, no! Just to manifest tholr lack
of the proverbial unsophlstication, tho
Froahman Hop committee has or
dained that there will bo two moon
light dances at tho hop next Friday
night. Moonlight dances have proven
immonBoly popular this year, tho
moonlight at timcB deepening into a
midnight darkness. Howovor, Chair
man Hanson states that It will bo
very natural moonlight next Friday
night.
Tho frcshmon also have decided to
follow tho custom of limiting their
dances. There have beon various con
jectures based on the domand for
tickets that tho attendance would bo
little short of 200 couples, so tho com
mittee has placed tho limit at an even
100.
k LOAN FOND IS NOW READY
8TUDENT PREPARING FOR THE
MINISTRY IS THE FIR8T
BORROWER.
Arrangements have beon completed
fdr tho use of tho loan funds donated

College of Engineering. At present
no money Is available except from tho

SEGOND STODENT IS
CLAIMED DY TYPHOID
JAMES WARREN HUTCHIN8 DIES
AT HOME IN FALL8 CITY. ,
HIS DEATH (ONES AS A SURPRISE
He Was Member of Phi Delta Theta
and 8plkes Fraternity Brothers
to Attend Funeral.
I Jamos Warren Hutchins, tho second
student to bo claimod by typhoid
within tho past few weeks, died yes
terday at his homo in Falls City. Ho
contracted tho diseaso six weeks ago
ago when tho epidemic wqb at its
worst, but did not formally withdraw
from school until tho middlo of Janu
ary. It had boon understood that
nearly all tho students who woro sick
wore improving, so tho news of his
death comes as a shock to his friends
in school who -had not realized that
his illness was so cktlcal.
Hutchins was registered in tho Col
lego of Agriculture, taking tho For
estry course Ho was a member of
tho Phi Delta Thota fraternity and of
tho Spikes society.
Funeral services will bo hold at 2
o'clock Wednesday at Falls City. A
number of his fraternity brothers are
planning to attond.
Students Fortunate.
There have beon thirty-five casos of
typhoid among tho University stu
dents slnco tho epidemic started, but
so far this is only tho socond death.
University students as a wholo have
beon very fortunato as compared with
tho people of the city. Out of tho
total registration only one per cent
havo withdrawn on 'account of tho
disease, and most of tho casos havo
boon light.
As far as can be learned, those who
aro out with tho diseaso now aro Im
proving. Dr. H. H. Waito, University bac
teriologist, said yesterday: "Thoro is
no danger of typhoid from tho city
water at presont," so tho danger from
the diseaso seems to havo passed by
tho University.
PICTURE8 OF GRADUATE8, TOO.
This Year's Cornhusker Will Have a
New Feature.
A new ieaturo of this year's Corn
husker will be tho introduction of a
special section devoted exclusively to
tho post-graduates. Heretofore post
graduates havo had no representation
in tho annual whatever, but Editor
Van Dusen has decided that hero is
so large and so live a number for tho
current year that It is necessary they
bo given approrlate notice in tho
book. It is expected that out of tho
hundred and fifty members of tho
post-graduate courses, some fifty will
respond. They will bo given indi
vidual pictures and write-ups stating
when and whero they obtained their
degrees and what ,1s their present
work. ..Pictures for this section may
be taken up to February 10 at Town
aend's, where the write-ups .may also"
be made out.
