STIEHM GIVES OUT DOPE ON
WESLEYAN AND COTNER GAMES
Has Score Made In Games Played so
Far This Season Which Prom
ise Lively Fights.
An inkling as to what will be the re
sults of tho forthcoming basketball
games with Cottier and Wesleyan was
obtained by Coach Stiehm Tuesday
night. On that evening the fives
representing the" two denominational
schools met in mortal combat, with
the result that the Methodists came
out ahead, 34 to 25.
Last year Nebraska beat Cotner, 29
to 18. This year the Christians have
a stronger rating, and are expected to
put up a harder fight. Judging from
Tuesday night's result, however,
Coach Stiehm is not anticipating as
much trouble from that quarter as
from Wesleyan. The Methodists have
been cleaning up everything this seas
on, and have all but one of last year's
players back In uniform.
Cotner is to appear here Saturday
evening, while Wesleyan comes on Fri
day and Saturday of next week.
According to present indications, at
least four, and possibly six, members
of this year's Omaha high school foot
ball team will attend the University of
Nebrsaka next year. Such was tho
word which Coach Mills of the Omaha
eleven sent to Coach Stiehm yester
day. The quartet consists of James Gar
diner, Ellsworth Moser, Charles Gar
dlpee and Harold Kelley. The other
two who may come are Leo Klein and
Ray Platz. All of the six have made
good In high school athletics, and two
or three of them will undoubtedly
prove a valuable aditions to the Corn
huskers in year to come.

ALUMNUS URGES GRADS TO
ATTEND JAN. EXERCISES
First Edition in 1914 Makes Point to
Feature Mld-Wlnter Com
mencement. The January edition of the Uni
versity Alumnus will be off the press
the last of the week and they will be
distributed tho first of next week. The
new edition will feature the Charter
Day exercises and will urge the re
turn of old grads to witness the cere
monies. Tho plan for the observation of the
day Is a novel one and the alumni at
the head of the idea are ver enthus
iastic over the outlook for a big cele
bration on that day. Those who are
unable to attend tho function at tho
university are requested to observe the
day In their home cities, the old stu
dents of the university in the com
munity aiding In tho event. The Idea
in this Is to have tho day observed by
former NebraskanB all over the Btate.
Those who attend the exercises In
Lincoln will be entertained by their
former classmates residing in the city,
extensive plans for the entertainment
of the visitors are already complete,
and the number is expected to be
large.
The services themselves are the
novel features and will be very at
tractive. The usual Charter Day ad
dress will be abolished and in Its
place Charles Hodgdon and other uni
versity architects will give an address
in which the plans will bo shown for
the two possible solutions of tho uni
versity problem, the removal to the
farm and the new downtown campus.
These plans will prove very Interest
ing to all those ho are Interested In
the affairs of the university. Charter
Day will be observed in a new and
novel manner and the alumni of the
school are expected to attend in force.
Editor Reed of the University Alum
nus states that the subscription list
of the publication Is not yet complete
but that the number on the list at the
present aggregates about six hundred.
The magazine as published, once a
month, will keep the alumni in con
stant touch with the university affairs
and keep up the interest In the school
that the average alumnus Is likely to
neglect in the busy life outside the
confines of the campus.
