REVIEW OF 1916-17
CO-EDJASKETBALL
Junior Team, Champions Last Year,
Again Win Interclass Tournament
Basketball Upholds High
Plane of Girls' Athletics
Featured by unusual individual and
team play the 1916-17 girls basketball
season closed with the victory of the
junior five over the freshmen for the
interclass championship. The quality
of basketball played during the season
was exceptionally high and kept up
Nebraska's record in other branches of
girls' athletics, soccer, hockey, and
track and field.
The junior team, which, as sopho
mores, was tournament victor, defeated
the freshmen 17 to 10 in the champion
ship game. Sacrificing individual play
to smooth, consistent teamwork, the
juniors out-passed and out-maneuvered
their opponents. Elizabeth Brown and
Captain Lettie Irion starred for the
losers.
In the preliminaries of the tourna
ment, the juniors defeated the seniors
16 to 13, in a closely-fought game
which was not decided until the clos
ing moments of play, with Lucy Jef
fords, the senior star, and, as usual,
teamwork featuring the Juniors' play;
and the freshmen defeated the sopho
mores 21 to 18 In the other qualifying
conteat, in which the individual work
of the sophomores, led by Captain
Helen Hewitt and Helen Bloodhart,
could not cope with the more spirited
attack of the freshmen, led by Captain
Betty Irion.
Between halves of the championship
Junior-freshman game, the sophomores
and seniors played a consolation con
test for third place, which was won
by the seniors 12 to 8.

One of the youngsters from out
ftate thought he had a good one on
the program printer yesterday. He
looked through the drawings, and
noted that "Bye" appeared as the op
ponent for several of the towns.
"Must be some mistake here," he
announced. "They have this little
town of 'Bye' down here five of six
times. Where is that place, anyway?"

Students In Pol. Econ. Have
Original Ideas On Subject
It is not every man who, harboring
a radical idea, has the courage to out
with it and let the whole world know.
Xo doubt there are people who think,
deep down in their hearts, that the
world is flat, but few would care to be
quoted as saying. Students in polit
ical economy are an exception, it
would seem from some of the answers
received in recent examinations con
ducted by the department. Following
are some of the rather startling def
initions of economic principles brought
to light:
FRESHMAN RHETORICIANS TO
TELL IT TO THE DICTAPHONE
Adopting twentieth-century methods
to the age-old task of teaching the
young idea how to express itself out
loud, one professor, of the depart
ment of rhetoric, will have in use by
the end of this week, dictaphones for
his freshman, classes.
Into the mouthpiece each freshman
will be required to discourse freely
and at length to the extent of five
minutes on an article assigned him
to be read in a standard review, where
modern English Is found in its purer
form. Then, after the recorder has
ground away, imprinting beyond denial
every rise and fall of his voice, the
student will start the machine going
again, listen to its story, copy down
the message, and correct the violations
of grammar and the principles of com
position. PEACE CONTEST
NEXT FRIDAY
Local Contest International Peace As
sociation Will be Followed by
National Meeting
The local contest of the Intercol
legiate Peace association will be held
Friday evening, March 16, in the Tem
ple theatre. The orations will deal
with the general subjects of disarma
ment and a league to enforce peace.
Prof. Searle Davis, of the rhetoric
department, who has charge of the
contest, has reported that registra
tion is light so far and asks that all
those who wish to enter the contest
should leave their names with him.
DR. POOL STARTS
BOOK ON FLOWERING
PLANTS OF NEBRASKA
Dr. Raymond J. Pool, head of the
department of botany, has begun work
on a book which will set forth and
briefly describe flowering plans of
Nebraska. Several hundred flowering
plants will be considered. Dr. Pool
believes that the many inquiries re
selved by tho department concerning
plant species and habits indicate the
need of complied information on such
plants.
"Protective tariff serves to
age the infinite industries."
"Mercantilism is the buying and
selling of goods between nations."
"A rapid increase In American
owned ships in the foreign trade would
tend to bring exchange to par be
cause imports would then balance ex
ports as a ship leaving the U. S.
with a cargo would also bring a cargo
back."
"The quantity theory of money is
this get all the money you can."
"The supply of gold in a country is
determined by the climatic condi
tions." NEWSPAPER BEST
ADVERTISING MEDIUM
J.
H. Avery of the Hardy Furniture
Company, Talks to Class in
Advertising
"In my opinion the daily newspaper,
of all mediums, nets the best results
for the advertiser. Why? Because
the reader looks to it for current news
and his mind is in an open, receptive
state. So said J. H. Avery, advertis
ing manager of the Hardy Furniture
company, in his talk on "Advertising
Problems" to the class in advertising
under D. F. Cole, yesterday at 11
o'clock In Law 101.
The two biggest problems which
confront the advertising department
are: What mediums to use to get the
best results out of a given amount of
money, and the anticipating of results.
The League of the Kindly Tongue,
which was Instituted in Appleton by
the Rev. William D. Marsh, pastor of
the Methodist church, reports a most
gratifying Increase in membership
during the past year. This league
was founded for the purpose of stif
ling the tongue of gossip and holds
that it is not that which man hears
which defiles him, but that which
comes from his lips.
Over ,000 of the League cards
were distributed last year, making a
total of 21,000 in 39 states, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Canada, Russia, and
other foreign countries. Lawrentian.
Side-Lights of the Tournament
The city of North Platte has had its
new gymnasium but two weeks, and
fo it felt that its basketball team was
not experienced enough to take part
in the 1917 tournament. Under the
inspiration, however, of Paul Ohman,
formrr Omaha high school and Belle-
vue college man, who is now at North
Platte, the business men of the city
subscribed enough money to send their
team to the tournament merely as on
lookers, to have a good time, see bow
the thing was done, get acquainted
wltt the University, and be prepared
rexL year, to play a more active role
in the eighth annual tourney. The
North Platte boys think the Idea a
