Doctor Bessey Weaker The condition of Doctor Bessey re mains much the same except that he was somewhat weaker last evening. He is still conscious, but seldom speaks and seems less interested in things about him. Why He Quit A janitor of a school threw up his job the other day. When asked the trouble, he said: "I'm bonest and I wont stand being slurred. If I find a pencil or a handkerchief about the school when I'm sweeping I bang or put It up. Every little while the teacher, or some one that is too cowardly to face me, will give me a slur. A little while ago I seen wrote on the board, "Find the least common multiple.' Well, I looked from cellar to garret for that thing, and I wouldn't know the thing If I met It on the street. Last night, in big writin', on the blackboard, it said, "Find the greatest common divisor.' Well, I says to myself, "both of them things are lost now; and 111 be accused of takin' "em, so I quit!" HIS WESLEYAN MEETS HUSKERS FOR SECOND GAME SATURDAY KELLOGG IS TO OFFICIATE Coaches Stiehm and Kline Agree on Referee After Long Contro versy Coyotes Are Confident The return game between the Wes leyan Coyotes and the Huskera will be played In the Armory Saturday night Wesleyan will meet Nebraska in a somewhat less confident mood than she did three weeks ago, when the Huskera upset all the dope and won a decisive 13-8 victory, but al though she will display no over-confidence, she will not be wholly devoid of hope. And there Is little reason why Wesleyan should not look for ward to Saturday's game with gleeful anticipation. For with the wonderful team she has, she stands a very good chance to even up the series with the Huskers. Since her defeat at the hands of Nebraska she has devoted much of her time to planning a sweep ing program of revenge, which she In tends to stage Saturday night Coach Stiehm and Coach Kline have at last agreed upon Kellogg, manager of athletics at Iowa, a Michigan man, as the referee for Saturday's game. This Is the final culmination of a long controversy between the Nebraska mentor and the guardian of Wes leyan's athletic prestige. Mark Hy land, who has officiated at most of the Missouri Valley games of the northern division, was Coach Stiehm's choice for the eleventh man, but-the choice did not agree with. Kline's plan of campaign. According to the Coyote coach, Hyland was too lax in his dis cipline, Kline named several coaches, some of them prominent in Missouri Valley circles, but those mort desired by Stiehm were unable to serve on tbJs particular night because of previ ous engagements. The coaches got together yesterday and agreed upon Kellogg, one of the men sugested by Coach Kline. The Huskers finished the Drake series in good shape, and started prac tice for the Wesleyan game yesterday. Kiefer, the lengthy speeder who scored six goals in the last game with Drake, found the hoop at will yester day. Gardner, Campbell Rutherford and Thiesen, forwards, showed rare form at locating the basket, and also played a strong floor game. Hngg, Milliken and Sheldon, guards, played up to their usual form, showing cp well in playing the floor and In defen sive work. Mines Mental Gymnasts May Challenge Colorado Chess is to be the next addition to the intercollegiate program If plans now being formed at the School of Mines era carried out.
