Over 200 glrla worked at the Uni
versity Red CroHH rooms yesterday.
Thin I" & big Increase over Monday
and Tuesday but It Is hoped that even
more will come in.
The statement in yesterday's Ne
braskan that only fifty girls had
turned out for the Ked Cross work in
Nebraska hall wuh somewhat mislead
ing since those in charge have an
nounced that many worked Monday
and Tuesday at the city Red Cross
rooms at the Masonic Temple. Many
who cannot find time to work during
the (lay can give a imrt at least of
their evening to this work. The Uni
versity rooms are open only until 5
o'clock.
Tbe girls are engaged chiefly in
making two-by-two surgical dressings.
Eleven hundred were made by the
fifty girls who worked on Monday.
Men are wanted for this work as well
as co-eds though none of them have
appeared as yet. The dressings are
easy to make and the work is pleas
ant. Those who cannot work a long
time are requested to come anyway
as they can accomplish much in a
short time.
The Red Cross rooms in N-20?, are
open from 9 until 5 o'clock veery day.
The city Red Cross rooms at the Ma
sonic Temple are also open in the
evening until 9 o'clock.
Mrs. Carrie Raymond has asked the
chorus to report at Nebraska hall 202
Friday to do Red CrosB work Instead
ot practicing as usual.

earnestly urging upon the foreign
born citizens of Nebraska the loyal

VARSITY AND FRESHMAN.
CONTINUE SCRIMMAGES
Several Places Still Open on
Basketball Squad '
WRESTLERS START WORK
Coach Otoupalik Preparing Mat Ar,
tlsts for Meets with Iowa, f Ames
' and Kansas
The freshmen continued to make
hard work for the varsity in the third
scrimmage between the two teams in
last night's basketball practice. Al
though considerably outweighed, the
first-year men succeeded in breaking
up not a few of the varsity's forma
tions, and in pulling -off a few clever
plays themselves.
There is still a great demand for
candidates for the varsity and fresh
man teams. Last night there were
only about twenty-five men on the
floor. Coach Stwart wants over twice
that number out. There are some
men in school who have a place on
the regular squad awaiting them, If
they will only get out and practice
regularly. The freshman squad is
also badly in need of men. The pros
pects for a successful team this year
are not particularly bright, under any
conditions, and such a team will be
an impossibility if more men are not
out for regular practice.
The varsity players last night were
Thomas, Jackson, Gerhart and Mc
Mahon at forward, Hubka and Munn
at center, and Schroeder, Anthes,
Strohmer and Eldridge at guard. Be
kins and Neumann did the best work
for the freshmen.
Wrestling Work Begins
While Coach Stewart is at work on
tbe basketball squad, Hugo Otoupalik.
last year all-westen: wrestler in the
175-pound class, is ceveloping the
wrestling squad for this year. So far
about thirty men are on the squad,
but over twenty more are expected out
soon. Some good material haa been
uncovered, and the team is expected
to hang up a good record for the sea
son. The. schedule for this year is
now being arranged, and will include
matches with Iowa, Ames, Kansas and
possibly other schools. The all-western
meet this year will be held at
Chicago.
CHRISTMAS PARTY'
COMMITTEE HOOVERIZES
Nuts and Apples Instead of
Candy for Refreshments
Saturday Evening
Not candy, but nuts, apples and
other "Christmas" refreshments will
be given away at the All-University
Christmas party Saturday evening.
The committee decided that there
would not be candy for every one as
formerly because of the conservation
of food this year. There is, however,
a surprise in store for every one.
Only the chapel is to be decorated.
It will be filled with Christmas greens
and there will be a couple 'of Christ
mas trees. Everything will show the
Christmas spirit.
The commitees are planning on one ,
of the largest crowds of any All-University
party this year and there will
be a entertainment to suit the taste
of everyone.
