IN PLACE OF AGGIES
Contract Does Not Call fop Return
Game In 1918, But Nebraska
Has Hopes
The 1917 football schedule has at J
last become fixed, or at least that is
what the authorities say. Michigan
university has been taken on in place
of Michigan agricultural college,
which was reported at first as the
opponent on October 27.
The Aggies withdrew last week
when the Cornhusker authorities de
manded that they observe the same
eligibility rules as Nebraska has to
obey.
When Michigan university found
that the Aggies had broken the agree
ment and that it was not Nebraska
thU severed the connections, they ac
cepted the Nebraska offer to play in
Michigan next year, but insisted on a
ringle contract.
No Return Game
The Cornhusker authorities did not
Mks the idea of playing in Ann Arbor
without the promise of a return game.
After considering all sides of the
suostion, however, they decided that
it world be to Nebraska's advantage
to take on the big game even though
it insured no game for 1918.
With Michigan on the schedule the
tisk of the coach and players is even
larger than it was with the Aggies as
opponents.
Michigan and Nebraska have met i
only twice on the gridiron. The first
time the Wolverines were victors by
the score of 31 to 0. The second time
was in the memorable battle of 1911,
when the Michigan machine, which
woa supposed to be one of the strong
eft in the west barely escaped defeat
ay holding the Nebraskans to a 6 to
6 tie.

Team Features as
the Star
The A. T. 0.'8 and the Alpha Sigs
staged the first real battle of the inter-fraternity
basketball series when
they clashed on the Armory floor,
last night. The A. T. O.'s won, 12
to 3.
The team work of the winners was
much better than that of the losers,
but the individual star of the game
was "Doc" Crandall, the basket guard
of the Alpha Sigs. Time after time,
when the A. T. O.'s machine-like team
work had carried the ball to within
scoring distance, a score was averted
through the work of Crandall alone.
For the A. T. O.'s Vifquain did by
far the best work. Playing basket
guard he allowed the losers one lone
goal and annexed three for himself.
Schumacher, his guarding mate, also
comes in for a share of the honor, do
ing most of the floor work for his
team.
Played Good Basketball
Both of these teams played much
better basketball than any team has
shown before, during the tournament.
The passing of both was clean and
at times sensational in its extent. Al
though the winners had hard time in
locating the basket when they had
a chance, it was probably due to the
fact that they had an attack of over
confidence during the first half.

MRS. RICHARD RUTHERFORD
COACHES SENIOR GIRLS'
BASKETBALL TEAM
The senior girls who wish to play
basketball have been having difficulty
in getting enough players together
to practice, so they went forth yester
day in search of someone who would
protect them from the underclass
teams. They found Mrs. Richard
Rutherford.
"Isn't she wonderful?" Patricia Ma
loney, a freshman who had been try
ing to guard Mrs. Rutherford, was
heard to say when the game was
over. "You can't keep with her, but
it is an education In itself to just
stand and watch her go by."
SORORITIES TO
PLEDGEJEBRUARY 2
Pledge Day Advanced in Order to Cut
Short the Rushing
Season
University sororities will pledge
new members Friday, February 2, be
tween 5 and C o'clock, according to
an announcement made, by the Tan
lldlenic council. This cuts short the
second semester pledging by one day.
The change was made, according to
Miss Florence MeGahcy, chairman of
the Tan-Hellenic council, because very
tew of the girls' organizations give
parties on Friday anyway; compara
tively few girls arc pledged, and it
'-eems useless to prolong the season.
Coincident with the announcement
of the change in pledge day, comes the
authorization of mixed parties for Fri
day night.

most interesting one and everyone Is
invited.

floor will be opened Friday night of
this week with a game in which the
strong Brandeis team of Omaha will
be the Cornhusker opponents. On
Saturday night the York college team
will be taken on for a drubbing, Corn
huskers hope.
Coach Stewart and Manager Reed
have been trying to land opponents
for these dates since late last week
when the Kansas Aggies backed out
(f an asreement they had made to
play here on those dates.
The Brandeis game is particularly
attractive as the team is composed
of ex-college and high school 6tars.
Chief among the former is Vergil Rec
tor, captain of the Dartmouth basket
ball team last year.
The York quintet is composed al
most entirely of state high school
sars and is expected to put up a gen
uine scrap.

by the American people."
The United States has only realized
in the past few years the necessity
of trained men along agricultural
lines.
"The greatest need of our world to
day is fcig men with big ideas.
