SECOND GAME
Cornhnsker Freshmen Drop
Series to "Aggies"
YEARLINGS FOUGHT HARD
Last-Minute Rally Give Farmers
Fourth Suttecclve
. Victory
After staging a beautiful comeback
over the first night's play, for the
first half of the. game, the Nebraska
freshman basketball team met with
another defeat Tuesday night at the
hands of the first year men of the
Kansas State Agricultural College
by a score of 15 to 10. The game
was hard fought throughout and the
Buskers did all In their power to
avenge three previous defeats at the
hands of their opponents, but all to
no avail. The "Aggies" proved too
much for them and copped the
honors In the last of the four con
tests. The Nebraskftns started the game
out in a manner that would make
the reputed Kansas cyclones look
like a gentle summer zephyrs With
Beklns in the title role, they tore
into the Farmers and when the
whistle sounded the end of the first
half they led their opponents by a 7
to 2 margin. Things were looking
pretty good towards a triumphal exit
from the land of the Jayhawk. But
"evidently they had failed to take Into
consideration the comeback qualities
of the Kansas men. The "Aggie"
bunch waited until the last ten min
utes of the game and then they
began to make things hum in gen
eral. Youngmeyer and Jennings each
dropped In a goal, and by way of
adding excitement to the affair, Meak
er slipped one in which sailed
through the air for fully 15 yards.
By putting in three out of seven free
throws in this game, Youngmeyer
made a record of caging 28 out of
a possible 37 free chances in the
four games between the Huskers
and the "Aggies."

will be the principal speaker. Dean
Hastings will preside. Dr. Chap
man's subject is "What's the Use of
Religion." He comes as a represen
tative of the National Service Com
mission, a patriotic organization.
That Dr. Chapman is a good speak
er is testified by the fact that when
he spoke at Manhattan the Convoca

history of the University. Nebraska

both in size and enthusiasm.

that henceforth no one who seeks the
right will be turned away dissatisfied
from the doors of this court. The new
Justices are. Frank Boehuier, Fred

Six hundred and twenty-two dollars
had been subscribed to the Grace

campaign which starts officially to
day. The salary for Miss Grace
Coppock, '05. general Y. W. C. A.
secretary in China, has been sub
scribed for for one hundred and
thirty days. The enthusiasm of the
Nebraska women In responding to
the appeal of the V. W. C. A. to take
the responsibility of the entire salary
of the woman who Is at the head
of all the Y. W. C. A. work in China
is remarkable. The other two-thirds
of Miss Coppbck's salary will be
subscribed today and tomorrow.
About three hundred University
young women attended the mass
meeting at the Armory last evening
at 7 o'clock. Miss Harriett Taylor
executive of the foreign board of the

Miss Taylor said that we are com
ing into a new spirit of living. "The
new co-operative way of living is
reasonable and human way.
"We must develoD our international
mind. We must Christianize our in
ternational contacts. We must active
ly, spread the Christian message
throughout the world.
Praise for Missionaries
"The missionaries have the right
idea. They go straight to the foun
dations and provide those intellec
tual, physical, moral and religious
benefits upon" which alone any true
religion can be built," declared Miss
Taylor.
"We are beginning to see that for
eign missions are great patriotic en
terprises. The United States send
missions to Russia, Rumania and
Serbia. We have been officially en
gaged in Belgian relief. If we have
anything they need, we give it.
"That is the whole philosophy of
the foreiern missionary cause, which
the ' foreign Association work is a
part," said Miss Taylor.. If we have
Association experience that the
Chinese women need, we should
share it.
Miss Taylor told of the message
of a professor of the Canton Chris
tian college. He said that the
Chinese desire the all-around develop
ment that every American woman
should covet.
"There is a surprising similarity
between the Association work here
and in China.

University Women Make En
thusiastic Response to Last
Woek's Campaign
It is assured that the Untversity
Red Cross workers will reach the
goal of 50,000 dressings before une
1, if the present enthusiasm con
tinues, according to Dr. Winifred
Hyde of the board of directors. -
Over four hundred girls registered
during the campaign for new work
ers, last veek. About fifty-nine girls
were out Thursday and Friday after
noon, and made nearly 1,600 com
presses. Six hundred dressings were
made Tuesday afternoon with about
fifty girls present. The decrease was
due to the fact that greater emphasis
was laid on careful work than on
speed.
The rooms are now open Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday afternoons, and
Friday mornings. Opening ttoe rooms
an additional morning is now being
considered.
