GIRLS' BASKETBALL
INTERCLASS GAMES WILL BE
PLAYED LATE IN FEBRUARY
GIRLS' ARE PRACTICING DAILY
More Enthusiasm Being Shown Than
Ever Before Girls' Athletics
Are Now Assured a Place
at Nebraska
At last the date of the girls' inter
class basketball tournament has been
set and the evening of, February 26
will witness the battle for class
honors. Never before in the history
of Nebraska has so much enthusiasm
been in evidence. Dozens of the
weaker sex are practicing daily and
dieting in order to make the teams,
and even the wise and reverend
Seniors' have deserted their dignity
and two whole teams or the learned
ones strive daily. This is especially
noteworthy, for the girls of the two
upper classes are not forced to take
gymnasium, and this unusual enthusi
asm for the pastimes of their younger
days is a thing of their own volition.
Besides the three basketball games,
folk dances and duet dances will be
introduced as a novelty. Taken all in
all, this is going to be the banner day
for girls' athletics a day on which
the school as a whole may witness
the result of the many mysterious
hours spent In the girls' gymnasium.
The girls themselves have all the
pep" in the world and Intend to put
up an exhibition much worth your
while, so let's all get together, get
up a little of the old ginger, and come
out and root for our own class.

MISS WITTMANN EDITS WORK
Has Study Entitled "Clipped Words"
In Last Number of Dialect Notes
Published at Harvard
Miss Elizabeth Wittmann, A. M. 1914,
has a study entitled "Clipped Words:
A Study of Back Formations and Cur
tailments In Present-Day English," in
the last number of Dialect Notes, the
publication edited at Harvard, of the
American Dialect Society.
"AWGWAN" WILL BE
DELIVERED TOMORROW
Entitled "The Late Issue" and Seems
to Apply Issue up to Other
Former Ones
The "Late Issue" of the Awgwan is
out and will be delivered tomorrow.
Since the issue is a late issue most of
the jokes pertain to late things. The
jokes themselves are more or less late
for which the staff is to be congratu
lated. The cover design depicts the
vague ramblings of one of the mid
night son's return home early in the
morning. Another especially clever
cartoon is the one entitled "Where's
the Guy Who Said 'Better Late Than
Never.'" On the whole the Late
Issue Is fully up to the high stand
ard of workmanship maintained by the
Awgwan staff.
KOMENSKY CLUB HAS
HELPED BOHEMIANS
Have Raised Sixty Dollars For
Relief of the Suffering
Bohemians
the
The Komensky Club have thus far
raised $60 for the relief of the Bohem
ians. Half of this amount was sent
sometime ago with other funds raised
by the Confederation of Komensky
Clubs. The club here at Nebraska
raised the money by selling "statu
ettes" of Komensky. Komensky, or
In Latin, Cominius, was a great edu
cator. He originated the idea that
pictures are a great aid in teaching.
August Mo!er has promised the
Club his services for a concert about
the mid lie of February. The proceeds
of this, with the money already on
hand, will be sent to John L. Bouchal,
a graduate of Nebraska, '12, now U
S. vice consul at Prague, Bohemia
The need there is very great indeed,
At Prague alone, 3,600 soldiers have
been made cripples, and nearly every
public building has been turned into a
hospital.
The Club announces its annual
dance for February 5.
GIRLS' CLUB COUNCIL
HOLD GOOD MEETING
Girls Decide Upon Having Some More
Definite Line of Study Will Work
on the Problems at Nebraska
Girls' Club council met Tuesday at
7:15 in the Y. W, C. A. rooms, and
from now on this will be the regular
time and place for the meetings the
second Tuesday of the month.
Edna Froyd reported on methods in
use in other schools. The g;rls de
cided that they would do more efficient
work if they had some definite line of
stody. At the next meeting of the
council, then, a study will be made
of the "problems" here at Nebraska
which concern girls.
Ill
WILL TANGLE WITH THE CORN
HUSKERS TONIGHT
NEXT GAME SATURDAY NIGHT
The Nebraska Squad Has Put in a
Week of Strenuous Practice and
Expects to Regain Some of
Its Lost Glory
By H. I. Kyle.
The Ames Aggie basketball team ar
rived in Lincoln this morning, accom
panied by Coach Hubbard. While
here they will play two games with
the rejuvenated Cornhuskers, who are
confident they will open the home
season with a pair of wins. The big
trouble with the Nebraskans on their
recent trip was an inability to shoot
baskets, wherefor all the stress of
the past week's practice has been on
that department of the game, with the
result that a great improvement has
been noted.
The first meeting of the rival teams
will be tonight at eight o'clock, and
the second game will be called to
morrow at the same hour. Special
bleachers are being erected in the
Armory to accommodate the crowd
that is expected to take advantage of
this first opportunity to see the Corn
huskers in action. Miss Graham has
arranged for a special section for the
Girls' Club, and we are promised a
"scream" in the line of falsetto root
ing. During the intermissions the
University Band will entertain the
fans.
The Aggies took a couple of lickings
at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawk-.
ers on Friday and Saturday of last'
week, but the second game went into
extra innings before it was decided.
The farmer five is in great condition
and a victory over them will mean
that the Cornhuskers have staged a
successful come-back.
The Nebraska line-up for tonight
will probably . be Rutherford and
Shields, forwards; Myers, center;
Captain Hawkins and Hugg, guards.
FRESHMAN LAW GLASS
WILL 6IVE OAKCE
Hop Now Being Planned Instead of
Masquerade Committee Named
to Look After Details
The masquerade which was to have
been given by the Freshman law
class has been changed to a hop, to
be given at the Lincoln Hotel about
February 15. " The committee is as
follows: Chairman, Bryson, Flaherty,
Rankin, Riddell. and Lahr, with Jack
Emley as master of ceremonies. This
dance will be given not because of
...
some precedent lam down in ages
past, but because of a desire in the
class to dance. The dance will be
open to all students, but will be lim
ited to one hundred couples.
The Freshman laws deserve a great
deal of credit for the spirit they have
shown this year. A?ew days ago they
held a smoker at the L'ncoln and had
a good representation from the class.
and a committee has been appointed
to hold another ia the near future.
The committee is as follows: Ober
felder. Young, Fleetwood, Warring,
and Penny.
