Reed, Genevieve Lowry and Miss
Beghtol. The meeting will be in
charge of Norma ' KIdd, a Black
Masque.
This is the first girls' rally of the
year and it remains to be Been whether
they have as much enthusiasm, when
by themselves, as they have when
having a rally during football season.
The girls have taken a very active
part in all rallies this year and it is
expected that they will have some real
new features in tomorrow's rally.
While the program is chiefly for and
by the girls, no mere man will be
barred from attending on account of
their sex. In fact, the girls stated
that all the boys are urged to come
and bring their feminine friends.
The rally is to promote interest
among the girls in athletics in general
and in the class basketball tournament
in particular. The tournament will
start Friday evening. The different
teams, as announced in yesterday's
Dally Nebraskan, art working hard
and each team is confident of final
victory. Those who were so fortunate
as to witness the different games last
year will not miss the entertainment
Friday evening.

STUDENTS FAIL TO
SUPPORT THE STAFF

Student Co-operation Will Make
Early Edition Impossible
Th nlana of the Cornhusker staff
have been foiled. L. W. Samuelson,
editor-in-chief of the Cornhusker, says
Kaf rf-arolpRflness on the part of the
students has made an early Cornhusk
er impossible.

much cause for complaint because stu
dents fall to support them. The editor
says that all Fraternity and Sorority

night will not be given space. He
further states that all Junior and

PROGRAM ENJOYED
Professor Arvid Samuelson Played Be
fore Students at Convocation
Encore Numbers Appreciated
Professor Arvid Samuelson, teacher
of piano at the University School of
Music, and well known to the student
body at Nebraska, again favored the
convocation attendants with one of his
musical programs at the Temple yes
terday morning.
Professor Samuelson's programs are
always highly enjoyable, but it is the
opinion of many of those in attendance
last Tuesday that the program was
one of the instructor's most brilliant
efforts. After the regular program,
Mr. Samuelson gracefully responded
to a vigorous encore, which was duly
appreciated by the audience.
Following is the program as carried
out:
Etude, D flat Liszt
Sounds from Vienna Woods... .
Strauss-Schutt
Papillons Rosenthal
Rhapsody, C major Dohnanyi
Doctor Bessey Worse
Doctor Bessey suffered another at
tack of the heart yesterday afternoon
and his condition is worse than at any
time during his illness.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

ducted by Walter Damrosch, Will
Play In Lincoln on May Fifth
The New York Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Walter Damrosch, has
hm secured for the May Festival
The entertainment will be given in
SL Paul's Church because the seating
capacity there is greater than in any
building on the University campus.
The date of the Festival is May b
Numbers br the University Chorus and
by several soloists will contribute to
the program.
A Lincoln engagement of the New
York Symnhony Orchestra is made
possible only by the fact that it will
at that time be on its way to the coast.
Work for Students
An extensive movement is on at
this time in the University of Illinois
for the placing of students in posi
tions whereby they may earn enough
money to allow them to stay in Bchool.
The Y. M. C. A. has charge of the
work and because of the early spring
the request is being made that house
cleaning work, lawn raking and other
jobs of like nature be given to the
students.
SHIELDS HT PLAY
HUSKER CENTER MAY GET INTO
COYOTE GAME SATURDAY
SCRUBS OUTPLAY VARSITY
Trim Regulars 22-21 . In Yesterday'
Workout The Return of Shields
Boosts Hopes of Huskers
Coyotes Win From Peru
Paul Shields, regular center on the
Cornhusker quintet, was out for prac
tice last night for the first time since
his injury in the Wesleyan game, sev
eral weeks ago. Coach Stiehm stated
that there was a bare possibility that
Shields would be able to get into the
game. His knee is still very weaK,
and bothers him a good deal, but if it
gets into working condition by Satur
day, Nebraska's chances to hold the
Coyotes will be greatly Improved.
Practice last night was a miserable
affair as far as the varsity were con
cerned. The scribs outplayed the reg
ulars in their regular set-to, and came
out ahead with a 22-21 score. Shields
played center for the scrubs, Jim Gar
diner and Sheldon, guards, Thiesen
and Campbell, forwards. The regulars
played slow basketball, and could not
locate the basket with any consistency.
The teamwork of the regulars was be
low form, which, combined with their
inability to. shoot baskets and their
jerky floorwork, spelled victory for
the scrubs. The two scrub forwards,
Thiesen and Campbell, hit the hoop
with deadly accuracy. The combina
tion Shields to Gardiner to Shields to
Ehiesen to Campbell to the basket
worked with astonishing regularity
against the varsity men. For the reg
ulars, Rutherford and- Hugg played
nearest their usual form and, with
Keifer, did most of the varsity point-
making.
The Coyotes defeated the Peru Nor
malites Monday evening 28-8 in the
Wesleyan gymnasium. Wesleyan is
playing wonderful basketball, and had
little trouble in disposing of the school
teachers, although they are one of the
strongest teams in the state. Johnson,
Hughes and Vifquain were the stars
of the Wesleyan lineup. With the
Peru game past, with everyone in tip
top condition, and with no further
chances for injuries, except the re
motely possible ones of practice ses
sions, the Coyotes are settling down
to put on the finishing touches for the
Nebraska contest
