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.

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?

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.

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

audience. The Agricultural club will
