No. 102 UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1913 Price 5 Cents v PLAYKANSASHEREMONDAY ARRANGEMENTS AE FINALLY MADE TO DECIDE MI380URI VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP LAWRENCE GETS SECOND GAME Seriei Will Be Played on Thre First Day of Next Week Jawhawk- er8 Home Qame Tuesday. A telegram received Inst night from Coach Stlehm nnnouncod the glad iifwii that the Jayhawkers would mix with the Cornhuskers next week In a three-gamo tournament to decide the championship of the Missouri Valley in basket ball. Coach Stlehm left Thursday night to arrange this scries with the South erners who have evinced their cus tomary coyness in this matter. The coach wished to arrange the games to take place on the week-end, but was unable to do so. Hence, the first game will be played at Lawrence, and the third on neutral ground at Manhat tan. The home game, which the Husk er must win, or fight against almost imposbible odds in the other two games, will be refereed by Mark Hy land of Iowa, one of the best known basket ball men in the valley. The referee for the Lawrence game will be chosen by Kansas, and the arbi trator for the third game will be chosen by both schools. Under this method there will be little chance for kicking on the umpiring. The athletic management are hop ing that Nebraska will be able to rival the Jayhawkers in the matter of attendance at the games. Basket ball at K. U. attracts nearly as largo an attendance as does football. Over three thousand loyal rooters sup ported the Kansas players in the last game on their home floor, and at any game the attendance will run over the two thousand mark. Unless the fans turn out and show an attendance treble that of the Ames games a week ago, the Stlehm rollers aro liable to get stage fright when the appear In their, decollette costumes before the multitudes at the southern institution. Louis Anderson, '12, is visiting at the Phi Delta Theta house. Louis is well known captain of both the track and cross country teams last year, and as Nebraska's representa tive at Olympics in Sweden, where he showed up well. He has lately been in training at Chicago under the Chicago Athletic club, preparing for the A. A. U. meet. He was protested on the day of the meet because ho is in the western division, which meets at Kansas City, rather than at Chicago. Esther Warner, '12, Is visiting friends and relatives in Lincoln. 8:00P.M.-"DieJournalisten"-TempleTheatre WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW is the extravagance wq condemned tujs oI'her day Going to continue this semes ter? Are the hops and other alTairn conducted by the classes to excavate ns large a grave for student credit as was the case last semester? IS THE DANCE PRO POSED TO PAY THE DEFICIT LEFT HY THE J.-S. PROM LIKEWISE GOING TO LEAVE ITS TRACES? That is if any such hop is held. I'p to date the com mittees who are responsible for the sad state of class finances we find have showed no intention of lifting a hand toward the fulfillment of those obligations under which they have placed their class. And they are their own obli !utions in reality for the committee t hansel res made the conditions which sont that dance into the hole. WHO DECIDED TO PIT ON A DANCE WHICH WOULD COST MORE THAN WOULD HE TAKEN IN AT THE DOOR.' WHO DECIDED TO MAKE THE TICKET PRICE SO EXORBITANTLY HIGH THAT ONLY FIVE PER CENT OF THE STUDENT BODY GOULD AFFORD TO ATTEND? IN OTHER WOKDS, WHO SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE DEIiTS? WE WOl LI) LIKE TO KNOW LAST WORD IN PUGILISM AP- PEARS SATURDAY AFTERNOON Local Greeks Mix in Novel and Pun ishing Competitions Tomorrow. Saturday afternoon the Greeks meet again in their annual conflict of brawn and muscle, to ascertain which clan shall be crowned with the laurel wreath. It is said that with the basket ball games of the past several weeks the fraternities are not on the best of terms and that only the keenest competition can be expected. Unlike the ancient Olympics, the contests will not be held in a magni ficent arena, hut in the old familiar Armory, prosaic in the extreme. The usual number of races, vaulting and jumping events are on the program and the follows of the Indoor track are already planning to crowd to the meet. The competition is purely Pan Hellenic, but any who wish to wit ness the Greeks In their struggles are Invited. The usual matinee dance will follow. The Nebraska Geological Survey has made public tho possibility of a great brick Industry In ajclay bed at Wymore, Neb. Mr. J. B. Burnett and Mr. R. A. Graham under thef direction of Prof. E. H. Barbour have made a careful survey of an enormous layer of shade which is declared to be ex cellent for making building brick WILL BE REPRESENTED IN GYM MEET AT WISCONSIN Athletic Department is Preparing Team to Meet Western Schools Wrestlers Especially Active. For the first time in two years Ne braska will be represented in the Western inter-collegiate gymnastic moot held this year at Wisconsin. Some years ago Nebraska produced 'gym" teams which were the equal of any in the weBt, and it is hoped that the team turned out this year . will rival those of former days. Both a man's team and a woman's team will be sent. The two teams are hard at work every day under the guidance of Dr. Clapp and Miss Boghtol. In order to give students a chance to see the two teamB in action be fore they leave for Wisconsin, an exhibition will be given In the Arm ory on March 28th. There will be a number of original and unusual stunts on the program In addition to i the exhibition by the two gymnastic teams. The complete program will be announced some time next week. The wrestling team Is also work ing out daily on the big mat, in pre paration for the meet. The Corn husker wrestling team have won their events with almost monotonous reg ularity, and from the way they act In practice they should easily be able to repeat the trick this year. Mc Cormlck and Gunther who placed In last year's meet will be on the team again this year. In addition to these veterans, Bates and Ganz, who are both well known locally will, in all probabilities, make the team. FORCED TO MOVE UNIVER8ITY NIQHT TO BE HELD IN. OLJVER IN8TEAD OF TEM PLE BECAU8E OF CROWD8. MUCH EXCITEMENT PROMISED All Organizations of School In Wait ing With Novel 8tunt Many Apt to Be Worth 8eelng. Unlvorsity night, tho big annual all university night in which each organ ization and society in school ia given the opportunity to thrust Itself with out restrain upon tho attention of the btudent body through its foot light geniuses, will bo hold Saturday evening at the Oliver theater. For several nights past tho impromptu troupes havo been rehearsing their Hues wltball possible vim, and prom ise to send home the usual monstrous university night crowd with a plenti ful amount of that satisfied feeling. A ver Important change in the management of the affair Is called to the attention of the student public b "Turp" Trunk in charge of the production As originally announced it wan to be held in the Temple theater and admission was to be en tirely free The fact, however, that some TOO tickets were given out with in four hours evidenced the neces sity of more spacious accommoda tions and a method of cutting down the attendance, and the Oliver theater wns secured and the admission made 10 cents. Those who received free tickets yesterday will have the op portunity of presenting such at tho Oliver box ollice and receiving in re turn reserved seats at a cost of a dime during all of today. Those who have not received the free tickets will not be able to purchase seats until tomorrow. University light was started four years ago and the opportunity to dis play vaudeville talent became such a drawing card both from the stand point of the theatrical aspirant as well as that of a willing audience that the night has become one of tho most populur events of the year. Hereto fore, a free admission to a good show has made it necessary to turn away a goodly number and it Is feared tna-t the udmission to be charged will but Crowd slightly diminish the size of the crowds. Nine events by various organiza tions will compose tho program. The doors will open at 7 o'clock and a half hour later the band will head the events with a concert. Some fif teen or twenty lnter-fraternlty song sters will next attempt to turn popu lar melodies Into grand opera and Impose such upon an unsuspecting audience.
