VALLEY SERIES NEXT
STIEHM IS PREPARING MEN TO
FIGHT FOR CONFERENCE CHAM
PIONSHIP NEXT WEEK.
JAYHAWKERS SOUTHERN CHAMP
Although No Game Is Scheduled With
Kansas for This Year Cornhusk
ers Seem Fated to Meet
Them
"With the basketball schedule within
a week of completion Conch Stlehm
has begun to train his men in the
finer pointH of the game in anticipa
tion of the Missouri Valley champion
ship games which will be scheduled
sometime in the first week of March
Nebraska is the undisputed cham
pion of the northern division The
Cornhuskers have defeated and com
pletely outclassed every team they
have met this year with the exception
of Minnesota.
At present the champions of the
southern dhisiou seems to be the
Kansas Jayhawkers They still have
their hardest Raines left on the sched-,
tile however On Tuesday night the
2fth, the play Missouri, following
which they play Washington at St.
LouIb, and on Friday the 28th, they
play Washburn. If the Jayhawkers
win these games they will be given
the championship of the southern di-'
virion.
Hut even at this rating they will not
have the perfect record that the Corn
huskers have won. Nebraska has won
both games they played with the Kan
sas Aggies by decisive scores. Out of
four games played with the Aggies,
Kansas won two. The Jayhawkers
have also lost a couple of other minor
games while the Cornhuskers have a
perfectly clean slate up to date.
Should Kansas be given the cham
pionship it has been arranged that one
of the championship games will be
played in Lincoln and one at Law
rence, and if a third is necessary It
will be played on neutral ground. Ac
cording to the athletic management It
may be necessary to charge a straight
admission price of seventy-five centa
to the championship series on account
of the heavy expense incurred. No sea
sou tickets will be accepted as the
management only guaranteed to admit
season ticket owners to eight basket
ball games and already they have been
admitted to ten games. As an exam
ple of the great loss sustained by
bringing teams to play at Lincoln at
the Drake games, only $107.50 was
taken In at both games and the total
expenses were over $150.
On Friday and Saturday night the
Ames Aggies will play at Lincoln and
on Saturday an informal dance will be
given after the game, for university
students only. Manager Quy Reed
promises that this will be a good dance
and if the gymnasium is not large
enough the chapel will be opened up.
NOTICE.
All organizations must have pictures
for Comhusker taken before March 15.
CAN ENGINEERS PLAY BALL?
DEFIANT CHALLENGE ISSUED
Mechanics Have Been Challenged By
Electrics To Play Basket
Ball.
A rumor has been going about the
campus the last few days to the effect
that the electrical engineers have chal
lenged the mechanical engineers to

rumor has not been ofllcinlly con
firmed. Assuming that the challenge may
soon be forthcoming, the Mechanical
Engineering Society at its last meet
ing decided to accept such challenge
if it wns given; the game to played
on some afternoon during "Engineers'
Week The rumor went further by
jaying that the electrical engineers
considered themselves to have some
noted players.

Engineers wishes to have It known
that they have among their members
Beveral professional men and some'
noted amateurs, and it is their pur
pose to prove their worth by accept

STUDENTS FAR TOO YOUTHFUL
Medical Men Discuss Students at
American Medical Asbo- '
elation .
"We are a nation of educational!
spleen feeders. Our students are not
matured when they enter college; con-,
sequently, college Instructors often are
but probation officers dealing with
children."
Dr. Flexner of New York gave this
messago to the ninth annual confer
ence of the American Medical Associ
ation on medical legislation and edu
cation at Chicago. His complaint
that students who enter the American
medical schools are not fully ma
tured waB echoed by other speakers
Dr. Flexner further said: "Some of.
our Institutions consume money as the
sands of the Sahara absorb water ,
and they turn loose upon the public, '
flocks of ill-trained practitioners." j
President Harry Pratt Judson, of)
Chicago University, would so condense!
the elementary and high school train
lug of the American youth that he
would enter college at the age of
nineteen or twenty. This would per
mit him to take more advanced
courses before entering upon the study
of medicine, ho said.
