IMELVIE ADDRESSES CLUB
Speaks to University Commerce Stu
dents on the Opportunities
of Young Men
Hon. S. R. McKelvIe, former lieu
tenant governor 'of Nebraska, and at
present a candidate for governor, edi
tor of the Nebraska Farmer, address
ed the members of the University
Commercial club, yesterday afternoon,
on "Community Interest." He partic
ularly emphasized the opportunities
for Commercial students in the Uni
versity to develop a spirit of co-oper
ation in small communities.
When Nebraska was first developed
the farmers were the pioneers, then
the demand for an exchange market
attracted merchants, who were the dis
tributing agents of the land's prod
ucts. After the trading point had been
located, the people of the trades and
professions settled there, and made a
community, which was more complex
and less Intimate, thus creating a
problem of commerce.
Business depends directly on me
products of the country and the mer
chant must get intimately in touch
with the demands of his customers.
He should conduct his business on a
cash basis under the system of Dig
business and small profits." The small
merchant has a great advantage over
the mail order house, because he is
in norsonal touch with his customers.
The opportunity for the student is to
place the business of the smau wwu
rash basis and to reauce uio
percentage of profit and increase the
Mr! McKelvie says he would like to
see a chair of marketing placed both
at the College of Agriculture and at
the College of Commerce, so that the
subject may be taught both from the
viewpoint of production and distribution.

CLASS SCRAPJHDS FATALLY
University of Pennsylvania Student
la Killed in Annual Struggle
Between Classes
Philadelphia, Jan. 12. One student
was killed and six others were in
jured In the annual bowl fight today
between the freshman and sophomore
classes of the University of Peensyl-
vania, which was won by the first
year men.
There were 700 men in the struggle,
400 sophomores and 300 freshmen. As
usual they appeared in all sorts of
apparel. Some wore football togs and
others were stripped to the waist. The
first half of the fight resulted in a
draw. In this period lt was the ob
ject of the second year men to try
to touch the freshmen's bowl man
with a large wooden bowl in the
possession of the sophomores. They
failed.
In the second period the side which
succeeded in having the largest num
ber of "hands on the bowl when the
marshals blew their whistles won the
contest. The battle waged fiercely for
fifteen minutes and when the mass of
students was disentangled Lifson was
found at the bottom of the pile with
his face stuck deep in the mud. He
was unconscious, as were several
other students found lying about the
bowl. Lifson was rushed to the uni
versity hospital, where life was pro
nounced extinct.
Edward A. Lifson, a senior in the
Wharton school of finance, and a
brother of the dead freshman, who
witnessed the fighting, said his broth
er's death was accidental. He did not
want the police to make any arrests.
The annual faculty picnic supper.
which was to have been held Wednes
day evening at the Temple, was post
poned for one month because of the
cold weather.

KANSAS ARRIVES
FORJASKETBALL
SOUTHERN SCHOOL ONCE MORE
THE RIVAL OF NEBRASKA
BOTH CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
This Is the First Appearance of Their
Basketball Team Here In Three
Years Gibbon Kansas Star
Informat Danco Later
The battle-scarred Jayhawk Is sched
uled to arrive in Lincoln some time
B'riday for a two days sojourn, In
which time two hotly contested bas
ketball games are going to be played
between the Bouthern rival and the
Huskers.
These games on Friday and Satur
day nights, will not only give us a
chance to make a clean sweep this
year, since we have already beaten
them in football and debate, but they
will also give us a mighty fine chance
to get an inside line on who's who
in the Missouri valley. Ames and
Kansas have already met and, Judg
ing from the outcome, it appears that
they evenly matched. Kansas
won the first game, 26 to 25, and
Ames came off victorious in the sec
ond contest by the score of 24 to 21.
A victory over Kansas In both con
tests would give us an Inside track
on the valley title as Kansas and
Ames have always been strong bid
ders for the championship.
Nebraskans are practically In the
dark concerning the Jayhawk aggre
gation, since this is their Arts ap
pearance here in three years. Of
course, we know that they administer
ed two defeats to the Huskers last
year, but that Is no reason , for
gloom, since Waugh is coaching the
best bunch of material that has rep
resented Nebraska in the last four
years. Captain Ed Hugg, Nelson,
Theisen, Rutherford, Campbell, the
Gardiners and Shields will all prob
ably get a chance at the Southerners.
The . Kansas lineup will be about
as follows:. Kennedy, rf; Gibben, If;
Cole, c; NeWon, Patterson and Ur
laub, rg; Apple and Wilson, lg. From
advance dope it seems that Gibben
is the particular star.
It has been announced that the in
formal dance which was to have taken
place Immediately after the game Fri
day, will have to be cancelled, since
there are so many other affairs sched
uled for that evening.
Girls' Tournament Saturday
The girls' basketball tournament will
be held Saturday evening, February
19, instead of February 18, as prev
iously announced. The class teams
will be announced next week.
Correctoin in Calendar
Due to an error, the Delta Zeta for
mal has been scheduled in the Uni
versity calendar for January 29, when
it should have been under the date
of April 22.
Prof. Sarka Hrbkova will lecture to
the Kindergarten club at the McKIn-
ley school, January 29, on the sub
ject. "Assimilatiorl of Foreign cnu-
dren." The Kindergarten club Is an
organization of the primary teachers.
