GLEE AND MANDOLIN CLUBS
TO SING AT CONVOCATION
Memorial Hall This Morning to Be
the Scene of Much Good Vocal
Music.
Today's convocation promises to be
of greater Interest to the greatest num
ber of any given this year It will
charm even tho most profound scien
tists in our midst. After much urging
tho glee club and the mandolin club
have combined and will j-ender a most
finished program.
The mandolin club has several num
bers from late popular operas. The
club has about eighteen members this
year, and has been limited to expert
musicians It has one member from
an eastern school who is considered
especially good. They will give the
Chocolate Soldier, King Midas and
several new "rags" as encores. This
will be the students' first opportunity
to hear some of the music that is
going to be given on the trip across
the western part of the country
The glee and mandolin clubs are two
of the few things aside from athletic
teams that advertise the school
through the country. The songsters
have one fairly heavy bit of music,
but tho others are all more or less
light
COTILLION COMES SATURDAY
Big Dance of the Year but Short Time
Away Will 8tart Prompt
ly at 7:45.
Two days more a matter of fifty
hours or so to the anxious committee
and the two glittering lines of beau
tifully attired damoseld and swallow
tailed gallants will wind through the
mazes of the grand march, and the
first annual cotillion of Nebraska will
be started on its glorious career. In
cidentally, the dance will commence
promptly at 7:45. Notice tho 7. The
eighth dance is scheduled as the "fa
vor" dance and the suspense will be
over. The committoe gives assurance
to the timid ones that they need have
no fear of a "mob," for only a 'com
paratively small crowd Is expected.
They further announco that every
thing Is In the finest shape for the big
formal, and that there Is not the
slightest chanco for any hitch in the
program.
Cabs are absolutely prohibited. Ever
since the stirring discussion of a
couple of years ago, "Cabs is Cabs,"
and the fern-wagon has been "earn la
mode" In Nebraska society.

rjFEAT DRAKE 21 TO 4
STIEHM'S WARRIOR8 SHOW
IOWANS HOW TO PLAY GAME
ON HOME FLOOR.
CLEAN BALL ALL THROUGH
Hanzllk and Carrier Star for Nebras
ka Both Teams 8eem Unable
to Make Baskets.
(Special to Tho Daily Nebraskan
from C. H. Cllne, Sporting Editor
Drako Delphic.)
Des Moines, Iowa, February, 19
Nebraska's team work proved too
much for Drake in tho second half
here today and the CornhuskerB won,
21 to 4 Drake held the Nobraskans
well in the first half which ended 6 to
- In the second I'nderwood and
Myers entered the game and the team
work improved
Hanzllk and Carrier were the stars
for Nebraska, McCormlck and Lan
sing excelled for Drake.
Both teams played clean basket
ball. Although Nebraska displayed
the best game seen here, they -aroused
the hostility of the crowd by their
seemingly conceited attitude.
Haskell was held to one basket In
each half under close guarding. Tup
por outplayed Stryker holding him
scoreless and tallying himself. Cap
tain Carrier did remarkable work at
dribbling in second half and also did
the best defensive work.
Both teams were decidedly off on
basket Bhooting and the Nobraskans
passed many easy shots. Drake fought
hard and played their opponents even
in the first half but the heavier No
braskans were them down in tho final
session.
Referee E. Hyland was far too lax
in his decisions and this detracted
greatly from the Interest of the game.
The two teams will play Thursday
at 4:15 in the afternoon.
