When the grapplerfi of Iowa Univer sity meet tho CornhuBkor mat artlstB In tho Armory tonight tho sportdom of Nebraska University will bo given Its first opportunity to boo tho wrest ling game as It is played between col legiate teamB. By reason of thlB fact, much interest is being aroused in tho contest of Saturday night, and a record-breaking crowd 1b expected. Iowa'a learn arrived In the city this morning. It is made up of -a most likely-looking group of athletes, moBt of whom have reputations to back them. Gran, who showed up exceed ingly well in Iowa's contest -with tho Ames Aggies, will enter in tho light weight contest at 138 pounds. Ho Is a scientific wrestler of more than ordinary Bkill. Against him for Ne braska will bo Ruby, If he manages to got down to the proper weight, and if not, Ouenther. Both of those Nebras ka men havo demonstrated their abil ity at tho game and a pretty contest is looked for. Miller In Middle-weight.

Last year when Nebraska mot Iowa at Iowa City, tho CornhuBkors took six straight falls away from the Hawk eye lads. Whether thoy can do It this year in tho same neat manner is an open question, however. Two out of three falls will win in each match. Van Nice of tho city Y. M. C. A. will referee. All holds will be allowed with the exception of tho strangle holds, hammer looks above a right angle and twisting toe holds. BASEBALL MEN ATTENTION.

Perhaps It would be Interesting to many students of Nebraska University to know In how many parts of the world the "Rag" travels ovory day to be read by the old "gradB." It is found upon investigation that thoro aro several copies go each day to different places In Canada; to the Philippine Islands, and even to some of tho universities in England. Bo Hides those places outside, ovory Btato of the union is represented by at least one copy of the Nobraskan each day. Some of these copies go to mon and women who were graduated from tho University as far back as '85 or '86, which bIiowb that they aro still Inter ested in what wo aro doing at Nebraska. MISS CAPPOCK SPEAKS. Tells Y. W. C. A. Girls of Rapid Prog ress of "Changing Chinese." The Agricultural Club has evidenced (Continued on page four.)

Because of a break In a valve on one of tho steam power lines to the. testing laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering building, it was necessary to throw out of service for about ten I days several units in the steam tests. I The break is now repaired. DATE NOW SET FOR IVY JAUEREMONIAL WILL COME THI8 YEAR ON WEDNE8DAY, MAY 22. Tho work of repairing tho Musoum Is being pushed bo rapidly that Pro feBsor Barbour bolloveB It will bo fin ished by Juno 1. An Iron Btalrway will be put in to prevont further dan ger from fire. An Itemized account of tho damago done to specimens bIiowb littlo varia tion from tho original $10,000 OBtl mato, but tho throe most valuable specimens doBtroyed will undoubtedly bo replaced. Tho groat twolvo-foot prehistoric elephant tusk, which Pro fessor Barbour at first thought beyond recovery becauso it waa bo badly cracked and charred by tho heat, has boon polished and cemented until It Is apparently as good aa boforo tho flro. A duplicate of tho two-hornod rhino of Sioux county, valued at $3, 000, will probably be supplied by Har old Cook, a former student, both of Nebraska and Columbia, who Is now operating a ranch at Agate, Nebraska. Tho boar's head can bo replaced If the University will send a searching party into the Nebraska and Dakota badlands. It Heems to bo tho general bollof that the largest wild boar skeleton was destroyed, but UiIb Is not tho case The museum possessed two skeletons of wild boarB, which were closely re lated Tho smaller and less valuable of these wan destroyed, but tho largo one, which Is valued at $50,000, was not Injured In tho slightest degree. The extension of the muBeum will be deferred until the ultimate location &L ilia University is definitely deter mined. An addition Is TmdTy needed, for the department even now has enough material stored In the base ments and attics of campiiB buildings to fill two more museums as large as the one now in ubo. INNOCENTS WILL THEN BE CHOSEN Dramatic Club Play in the Eevenlng and the Cornhuskep May Be Given Out. Graham Taylor to Speak.

Mr. Taylor Is a promi nent Chicago settlement worker and a deep student of social problems. Ivy Day, tho annual spring festival ad holiday, Is to bo hold on Wednes day, May 22, this year, and If tho olo montB aro favorablo, as thoy woro not last year, It will bo an ovontful day. Tho dato has boon under considera tion for some time and was but re cently decided upon. The day will bo full of ovents from start to flnfsh, beginning with tho May-polo danco by tho senior girls and tho Ivy Day oration In tho morn ing, and ending, lp all probability, with tho Dramatic Clijb play In tho even ing. Tho final program has not boon definitely decidod upon, but following tho custom of former Ivy Days, tho annual lnter-class track meet will bo hold In tho afternoon. Tho Innocents will bo chosen from tho Junior claBB at tho conclusion of tho moot. An attempt was mado to havo tho Cornhuskor printed -and ready for dis tribution at the clasB play laBt year, and although tho attempt fallod of Its mark, It Is thought that a somewhat similar trial will bo mado this year, bo that tho CornhuBkor will bo ready at tho Dramatic Club play, provided it is given.
