The freshmen were again the whole show, taking all the honors In team work and goal shooting. Gerhart, the left forward of the first-year men, was the star of the evening, rolling seven field goals. Hubka, "one of the big freshman guards, pulled the sensation of the game when he shot the first rrt,i f thA contest from near the center of the flc-or by pushing the ball forward over his head. The guarding of Bell for the Juniors was the feature of that team's play. - .nntut nt wplebL SDeed 11 WHS ."- " - y and skill against endurance ad the. former three won with east cai the freshmen couldn't do any -other way they could do by brute force and the Juniors were at a loss to stop them.

SECOND CALL FOR MAT ARTISTS RUTHERFORD WANTS HEAVY AND LIGHTWEIGHT WRESTLERS Two Intercollegiate Meets Scheduled With Iowa and Ames Other Contests Assistant Coach Rutherford again wishes to issue a most urgent call for wrestlers and especially in the 125 pound 'class and above 175. These classes are designated as the featherweight and the heavyweight classes. It has been several years since Nebraska has had a beavy weight that could hold his own with others in his class. The Cornhusker representative in the featherweight class, for the last three years has been Henry Pascalo. A glance over the records show that Pascale has more tban held his own in the meets he has taken part in. Last year he got away to a bad start but made a good showing before he finished the season. There are no good candidates for either of these jobs and any oue who has had experience on the padded mat will have an excellent chance to go on the trips this year. Guy Reed has announced the def inite scheduling of two wrestling matches with other universities. Iowa will be met at Iowa City In February, and Ames will come to Nebraska to wrestle the Huskers March 10, the last day of the high school basketball tournament. More meets will be scheduled. Skaters Skimming Sleety Streets See Showers of Shining Stars Almost every one of the better known planets was plainly seen and a host of lesser constellations were glimpsed fleetingiy by University men and co-eds yesterday when, with skates under foot, they glided to 8 and 9 .o'clocks. Co-eds, more frequently than men, saw fit to view these stellar bodies from positions somewhat upsetting if not awkward. To the delight of ca reening students who tried to walk They are now considering whether tints of mahogany and pink should not be added. It- is claimed that one member of the committee has tresses of mahogany, while one graduate stu dent (Magdalene Craft), who passed easily as "eligible," verges distinctly on pink. This important matter will soon be settled. Among the desirables who have not yet been heard from by the committee are Natalie Spencer, Florence Wil liams, Bess Foster, Susan Harmon and Esther Ord. Annis Chaiken, the alumnae secre tary, is expected to be present, and It Is rumored that Mrs. Maxey, obvi ously of eligible tint, may be on hand. Also, more and more applications are being received for standing space for spectators, at the first dinner ot the "Order of the Golden Fleece." NEW PSYCHOLOGY ' COURSE OFFERED Doctor Wolfe to Give Work for Stu dents Who Intend to Enter Certain Professions A new course catalogued Philosophy 18, and entitled "Phychology and Effi ciency," will be offered next semes ter by Dr. H. K. Wolfe, head of the department of philosophy. This course is open to all students who have had one semester of psy chology. It is intended to be of use to those who do not expect to teach, but who are entering such professions as law, ministry, medicine, Journalism, social service. It will deal also with the psychology of buying and selling, and the estimating of the efficiency of the individual workman. Each person will give one-half of his time to the particular phase of psychology in which he is Interested. The remainder of the time will be devoted to a study of me general foundations of psychology and Its ap plication in all professions.

Kline, Blue Springs, a sophomore and member f the intercollegiate debat ing team, presided, and Prof. Clark E. Persinger, of the department of American Libtory, acted as judge. The contestants were chosen upon their arguments prepared on the sub ject for interclass debate, "Should the United Stales restore order in Mexi co by armed intervention." Each man was given five minutes for his set speech and three minutes for rebuttal. Soccer Captain Chosen Meredith B. Wood, of New. York city, was elected captain of the Yale soccer team for next year. Ex. along the glass-smooth sidewalks, bunches of co-eds, clinging to the rear of an automobile, would, as the car swerved, be snapped like the tail of a line in "crack the whip" to turn turtle over the curbing, or, attempting to make their swan-like progress more artistic, put too much gesture Into the interpretations-, " with disastrous results. (Continued to Page Two) GENERAL PERSHING MAY BE HERE FOR CADETS' BANQUET The Cadet Officers' association has put out a booklet recently which gives a general summary of the past and present activities of the association. It gives a full explanation of the pur poses of the organization, as well as an officers' roster of the University regiment for this year. From a quota tion from General Pershing It would seem that he Is expecting to be in Lincoln for the annual'banquet of the association, which would make that affair all the more worth attending. The last three pages of the booklet are devoted to a very readable de scription of the reserve officers' train ing corps, by Captain Parker. DR. HOWARD GIVES LIBRARY TO UNI. VALUABLE COLLECTION OF VOL UMES FOR SOCIOLOGY SEMINAR Worth $7,000 Suggest New Social Science Building Be Called "Howard Hall" Dr. George E. Howard, head of the department of political sclence has given his private library, valued at about $7,0000, and containing between 3,000 and 4,000 volumes, mostly of history and sociology, to the Univer ity. The books will be moved soon to the sociology seminar room, law 104. Doctor Howard came to the Univer sity In 1878. He has been here eight years longer than any of the other present Instructors. He first had charge of the history department, and later was made head ot the social science department. It has been suggested that since Doctor Howard was the first instruc tor of social science at Nebraska, that the new building into which the de partment will soon move should be named "Howard Hall" instead of "So cial Science Hall." WThen Doctor Howard signified his intention of resigning a few weeks ago, in order to gain more time for writing and research work, the Uni versity regents unanimously request ed him to stay at a salary equal to that of the highest paid dean, with provision for half time when he wanted It. START TICKET SALE FOR GREENSTOCKINGS GUARANTY OF $300 NECESSARY TO INSURE PLAY Junior Play Has Only Paid Out Once Manager Rush Announces the Plans Tickets for the annual junior play "Green Stockings' were placed on sale today at the College book store and with student ticket-sellers, and were accompanied by a call for action upon the part of Junior class mem bers from Homer Rush, Columbus, business manager. Before the play can be produced It is necessary for the class to raise $300 as a guaranty, making it necessary that at least that much be collected for tickets within a short time. "Only once before, and that some years ago, has the Junior play paid out," Rush said. "This year the guar anty must be placed with the agent of student activities before the play can be produced." That tickets will go fast seems to be Indicated by the popularity of the play chosen by the committee and by (Continued to Page Three) "PACIFISTS'" AFTER STUDENT SOPPORT WILL CIRCULATE PETITIONS FOR STUDENT SIGNERS TODAY Challenge "Militarists" to Debate in Temple Feb. 3 President Jen sen Predicts Some Fun An active campaign In the Univer sity to push the anti-drill movement will be begun today by the Unlevrslty league to abolish compulsory drill, better known as the "pacifists'' club. Petitions will be circulated today and tomorrow to get as many students as possible to join the cause against en forced training in military science. The second activity planned by the league is a real, honest-to-goodnesg de bate on the question. It has chal lenged the rival league, supporting; military drill, to a debate in the Tem ple theatre on the evening of Febru ary 3, when, according to Anton H. Jensen, '18, president of the "paci fists," the "militarists" will get all they have wanted in the way of a debate on the points at issue. It is hinted that several prominent University men, who have not hereto fore been mentioned as supporters of the anti-drill movement, may take up the oral weapons of the dove of peace and assail the cause of "conscription." If these men are unable to give their time to preparing for the debate, how ever, President Jensen and Wahlfred Jacobsen, '18, will take the platform for the "pacifists." The challenge to debate sent by the anti-drill society provides for im promptu speeches from the floor, lim ited to three minutes duration, after the close of the regular debate. Regarding the activities of the league formed to protest agalns drill, Jensen says: "The officers of the league are try ing their best to keep hot-headedness and Ill-will out of the campaign. Stu dents ought to be able to present different-sides of a question without los ing their heads because someone else may have an idea better or worse than they have, as the case may be." WESLEYAN NEXT HUSKERJPPONENT ANCIENT FOS TO BE MET IN ARMORY SATURDAY NIGHT Nebraska's Prospects for a Win Are Good Team Expects Hard Battle The next' opponents of the Corn husker basketball team will be the Wesleyan quintet irora University Place. The Methodists have a strong team this year as usual although It Is doubtful if they are as powerful a scoring machine as the ones which, have represented the Wesleyanltes during the last three years. Defeat has already been met by the squad at the hands of the strong Creighton five. Crelghton is said to have one of the strongest teams seen in recent years, however, and a de feat at their hands is not Indicative of weakness In a 'team. A Hard Struggle The coach and members of the team look upon this game as the one hard est struggle of the year and the one above all others they must win. Wesleyan has held the upper hand in basketball for the past three or four years and the men feel It Is their duty, not to say privilege, to pivo all they have In trying to end the lietbodlsts' era of prosperity. The game will be played th com ing Siturday night on the Armory floor and It Is the duty of every loyal (Continued to Page Four) (Continued to Page Three)
