Wesleyan Holds Nebraska
to 28 to 20 Score
In a fast and exceedingly rough
game the Nebraska basketball team
proved their supremacy over the Wes
leyan ball lossers by a score of 28 to
20. Wesleyan was outclassed at every
Btage of the- game and in the hiBt half
of the gamo they had to resort to
rough playing to keep from being
snowed under. The play by Wesleyan
grew bo rough at times that the Ne
braska rooters threatened to create a
riot beveral times.
Les Hyde was the particular star of
the game. He was in every play and
It was his hard fighting that saved Ne
braBku many a basket. "Ros" Has
kell, the midget forward for the Husk
ers was the individual point winner of
the game, making 12 of Nebraska's 28
points. Ros played a brilliant game
considering the number of hard
knocks he received. Hawkins, the
wiry little guard played a fast game
from start to finish and threw two
beautiful baskets. For Wesleyan
Gary played a good game, making
most of their points.
The team work of Nebraska was
perfect and the score of the game
DISGUSTED jLEGISLATORS
DO NOT LINGER ON CAMPUS
Trip of Investigating Committee From
Legislature Ends With Much
Smaller Party Then Made
a Start.
That Nebraska's legislators either
have their decisions already made on
the question of campus removal or
they find the campus a place so dis
agreeable that they try to make their
presence there as short aB possible
was apparent from the brevity that
characterized the recent visit of the
senatorial Investigating committee.
The committee entered the campus
fourteen strong and were shown about
the campus by Chancellor Avery and
Regent Coupland. Just what Is the
significance of the fact that the num
ber commenced to drop off immedi
ately, until there remained but four
to hear the explanations of the regent
and tho chancellor and to be shown
why tho present campus is insufficient
for tho needs of the Institution, can
not yet bo determined, but one might
almost infer that the minds of the
senators were so made up that in
their opinion Investigation was either
useless or unpleasant.
also give Instruction in the position,
aiming and firing of the rifle.
Those interested please speak
either to Sergeant Gulllon, G. A.
Graham, captain rifle club or to the
undersigned.
E. N. BOWMAN,
Commandant.
does not Indicate the remarkably
good showing made. The main trou
ble seemed to be that of shooting bas
kets. The ball was in the varsity's
possession most of the time, but they
could not seem to find the basket
even after repeated trials.
The first half started very faBt and
was a rush and a scramble all the way
through and ended with Wesleyan
showing valgus of weakness. Score
13 12 Nebraska's favor. The second
half had hardly opened before Stryker
threw a basket, giving Nobraska the
lead that she hold till time was called.
In this half Underwood was substi
tuted for Hyde who took Carrier's
place at left guard. Score end of sec
ond half, 15-8.

In a humorous manner, dealB with co
education, a problem of keen import
ance In Europe at the present time,
and throughout the play ridicule of
the present system of segregation at
the universities of Europe is mani
fest. This Is the club's first serious un
dertaking in dramatics. Hitherto sev

IN FULL OPERATION
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO
BE OPEN TO RECEIVE VISI
TORS THIS EVENING.
MANY OUT TOWN PEOPLE HERE
Heat to Be Run In the Foundry All
Laboratories and Workshops to
Be Ready for Inquisitive
Visitor.
Tonight tho engineering department
holds its first open house. Extensive
preparations have been made and a
good showing is expected. A number
of out of town visitors are here for
the day and Nobraska will received
much good advertising from the dis
play of the Inside operation of a uni
versity. Laboratories and engine rooms will
be running In full operation and there
will be competent men about to show
the fine points of the equipment and
work to interested A number of stu
dents will be busy at the lathes and
other machines and every possible de
fall will bo kept going all evening
One of the most Interesting features
of tho evening will be a heat run by
casting rings in the foundry room. As
Nebraska Is a v'ar western state very
few people have been afforded iho op
portunity of seeing iron cast as It is
the Iron and steel mills of Pennsyl
vania. This exhibit ought to bo
worthy of close observation on the
part of many visitors. Tho parts of
tho mammoth tolescopo cast by the
engineering department laBt year will
in all probability bo out for the public
to gave upon and wonder at. These
have been seen by many experts dur
ing the past year and they are pro
nounced to be very high class in both
the making of the patterns and tho
actual casting.
Unique souvenirs have been pre
pared by the committee in charge and
visitors will not go away disappoint
ed by the clasB of the articles which
will be very novel in their line. As
they are somewhat of a surprise the
management does not want to dis
close their identity until tonight.
Plenty of men are In readiness to
man all the laboratories and work
rooms except the materials laboratory
and the force room. Engineers who
can do this work are requested to see
some one on tho committee or Profes
sor Grennan who is in chargo of the
evening's entertainment. Tho assist
ance of a few more men In these de
partments will be appreciated by the
committee.
Professor G. A. Loveland will ad
dress the Agricultural club In U 6 at
8 p. m. Saturday evening. All mem
bers of the Agricultural club meet at
Townsend's at 1 p. m. Saturday to
have Cornhusker picture taken.
