ELLIS 115 MATCH
DEFEATS CHATT N TENNIS
FINALS FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
FAST BATTLE DECIDED MATCH
Ellis Duplicates Thursday's Play by
Winning in Straight Sets Fast
Play Throughout
Tournament.
At 2 o'clock Friday afternoon the
finil match in the University Tennis
Tournament was played on the Uni
versity courts. The weather was ideal
for tennis, notwithstanding the late
ness of the season. The contestants
in the finals were Orvilta Chatt and
Harry Ellis. These two players suc
cessfully survived the five rounds and
met each other for the championship
of the University and the coveted let
ter "N." The play was close and fast
throughout the match and very inter
esting for those who had come out
to witness the battle. Chatt's service
was very effective, particularly in the
first set His overhead work on re
turns was not up to his usual form
however, thus allowing Ellis to come
up to the net to advantage time after
time. Chatt's driving to the base line
was excellent, as it has been through
out the tourney. Ellis served very
effectivtdy from 'the south side espe
cially, covered the ourt well,' and was
"right" on ground strokes. Ellis has
won the state tournament for the past
two years and is undoubtedly one of
the best players in ehe Missouri val
ley. The final score was 6-4, 6-2 and
6-3, the playing being much closer
than tie score would indicate.
The tournament which is thus
brought to a close is the best one ever
held here. Thirty-five men entered
and the quality of playinng was, on
the whole, excellent. Nebraska will
undoubtedly have a good team in the
spring to represent her in several dual
meets which will be arranged and in
the Missouri Valley Tournament. The
selections for the team will be difficult
to make as several of the men are
about on a par.
In the spring a ladies' tournament,
a mixed doubles, and men's doubles
tournaemnt will be held.

JOHN H. MOREHEAD
Nebraska's Business Governor
Candidate for Re-election
When Governor Morehead first re
ceived the Democratic nomination for
thr-rosition he now holds, he was pre
sented to the people as a practical
business man who would give to the
state a practical business administra
tion. He has effected an economy
never before equalled in our state gov
ernment. When Aldrich was governor, it cost
$18.89 a month to maintain each in
mate of the eleven principal state in
stitutions. During the Morehead ad
ministration it has co?t $16.89. With
4,023 Inmates, this makes a monthly
saving of $7,805, or a total of over
$187,000 during the present governor's
first term of office.
The first appropriation was made to
be used In -experimenting with the

Busy.

be ready for distribution, I think we
are safe in saying that they may be
obtained some time between the mid
dle of March and the first of April."
said Manager Poteet this morning.

it will receive flattering attention and
consideration.

out Friday. It far outshines all pre
vious numbers. On the cover is an
excellent cartoon of Dean Engberg.

Campus Kaiser." The editorials of
this number are: especially good, deal
ing with one of the most vital univer

WHY I AM FOR HOWELL.

Someone has dubbed me a "Wilson-Howell-Progressive-Platformite."

fer no apology. At least being thus
branded, no one will assert that this
article is written to promote any par
ticular party. Certainly the. term will
make clear that the writer is by nature
a ballot-scratcher.
Candidates from road overseer to
governor come to the supporters of
Woodrow Wilson with these words:
"Elect us, for we wear Wilson buttons,
we pray in his nanm" But it may be
asked, shall men be elected to state
and county office because perchance
they bear the party label of a de-sen-edly
popular president? Must we
also elect a certain man coroner be
cause his church affiliation is the same
as that of the secjetary of state?
What connection has the governor
with national legislation that he
should be e3ected, not on his merits,
but because he happens to have the
same views on the tariff as tbe chief

Winning Stride in the First

Back Strong in Last.
By H. I. Kyle

and Cream in unsullied triumph over
the Missouri Valley. Again an invad

back, defeated. Only the strong and
cunning Jayhawk stands between us
and' that, much coveted, prize the
Conference championship. With little
Morningside next Saturday, to get us
in trim for the "Home-coming" Kan
sas game, the road to victory lies
broad and certain before us.
The score, Saturday, was 20 to 7,
for the Cornhusk-men. At the oVen
ing of the final quarter it stood 7 to
3 for Ames. It took the Halligan clan
a long time to wake up to the serious
ness of the situation, but when they
did.ah, then it was that they showed
their opponents and the pleading
spectators the stuff that won for them
against the Michigan Ags. Taking
the ball on Nebraska's 13-yard line.
th Cornhusker machine. . with Haw
kins at the wheel, swept, irresistibly
down the field to a touchdown. Then
they went back and did the same
thing over again. A third time, in the
final minutes of play, they threatened
the Farmer goal, but were stopped by
a 15-yard penalty. Captain Halligan
then dropped back and scored his sec
ond placekick of the game, the first
coming in the first period and -from
the Aggies' 40-yard -line. Both kicks
were beautifully executed.
To Dick Rutherford goes the honor
of having scored the first touchdown.
Following a splendid 25-yard pass,

halfback plunged through the demor

was crossed. A little later, Chamber
