Selections Impossible Honors
Evenly Distributed
Kight members of the 1918 Nebraska
Comakers were awarded places on
the football valley conference honor
roll ly t E. McBrlde. sporting editor
of the Kansas City Star, in his annual
reiew of the Missouri valley season
January 5. His selections were pretty
evpr.ly divided among the conference
school?. Nebraska getting no better
than Pick Rutherford's Washington
Pik.rs and the Iowa Aggies? who each
drew eight places. Kansas is repre
sented with 6even players, the Kansas
Aggies with six. Drake three and the
poor Missouri Tigers who were
cheated out of every game on their
schedule by the flu epidemic, have no
representative on the honor roll.
-Owing to the shifting fortunes of
the rlayers due to S. A. T. C. transfers,
the custom of picking all-star elevens
will be abandoned this year." writes
McBride. "Players like Schellenberg
and Dobson of Nebraska and Lonberg
of Kansas, high candidates for posi
tions on the all-star valley team at the
start of the season, were sent to offi
cers' training camps early in the sea
son. Some of them returned in time
to take part in late games, but H
would have been unfair to have placed
these men over men who had remained
with their eleven the full season and
given their all under adverse training
conditions. Also it wouldn't have been
fair to let off 6uch men as the two Ne
braskans and the Kansan.
"However, the honor roll plan was
hit upon as a way to give the players
some credit due them for going
through a football season under the
most difficult conditions and circum
stance?. In listing the men for the
honor roil each coach's valuation of
his own men has been given the great
est consideration.
"In picking the men. Missouri was
given no consideration. Coach
Schulte had a team at Missouri all
season, but each game was postponed,
the squad finally disbanding without
playing a single game. For this rea
son Missouri remains a blank on the
honor roll.

FLING DESCRIBES TRIP
OF U.S. PEACE MISSION
Former University Professor
Writes of Experiences on Board
the "George Washington"
Dr. F. M. Fling, former professor
of European history at the university
and a member of the peace mission,
writes on board the "George Wash
ington" telling something of his trip.
He states that this ship carrying the
peace miseion received the greatest
send-off by the American people that
any ship leaving a port of the United
States has ever received.
The letter follows in part:
"Tomorrow noon we get Into Brest
and go on to Paris tomorrow night
The trip has been uneventful but
comfortable, and although we had
several days of stormy weather, no
body was sick. The ship is said to
be the steadiest in the Atlantic. There
is no noticeable pitch and the roll is
very gradual. She is over 26,000 tons,
the crew is over 1.100 and the presi
dential party a little over 100.
"During the day. everybody was en
gaged in his own, business. In the
evening, we go to the movies. After
the first two evenings, the president
tins hppn a reeular attendant. He is
very fond of Charlie Chaplin. Last
night the crew gave a show in the ball
room, and the president sat in the
front row and laughed and applauded
heartily. Sunday evening, he attend
ed services in the same hall and at the
close shook hands with r.00 men who
were present.
"My work will hardly become seri
ous before reaching Paris, although I
have been taking notes every day. My
first task will be to get an organiza
tion in Paris that will enable me to
get in touch with everything that Is
going on; no easy task. 1 have no
idea how long I can stay. I have
aifcert with M. Jusserand and he as
sures me that I shall be able to see
everything but the personal matter in
the correspondence (between Washing
ton and Paris. The press representa
tion on board, there are three, tell me
that they are sending off 200 woros a
rro T.ractirallV all the

DANCE TO FOLLOW
BASKETBALL GAME
J&zz Fiends to Take the Floor
After the Opening Battle
Next Friday Night
Riddell and Graf Return to Uni
versity to Help Huskers
Annex Honors
At the twitter of the referee's final
whistle next Friday night and as soon
i as the basket flippers are rushed off to
the showers, the jass phiends will take
the floor for tne rest of the evening,
according to Doc Stewart's plans to
put over the biggest opening basket
ball game ever exploded in old Me
morial hall. This novel and extraor
dinary announcement that dancing
win follow the basketball game is ex-
pected to draw a crowa as no other at-!
traction could draw. A good orches
tra will be secured to furnish the syn
copation and Cornhuskers will cele
brate the debut of their basket tossers
on their toes for once.
The quintet representing the Fort
Omaha Balloon school is the first num
ber on the season's hill and it will
arrive in town for practice game with
the Cornhuskers Wednesday after
noon. Coach Paul Schissler of the
Coyotes will entertain the Balloon
ists on the Wesleyan floor on Thurs
day and then the grand blow-out will
be held Friday evening at 7:30 in the
Armory, Balloonist s vs.-Nebraska, and
jazr vs. time.
The dancing attraction has been
held in connection with basketball
games at Missouri and Kansas univer -
sities for some time and it has proven
a big drawing card. The athletic
management wouldn't be a bit mad if
,
through next Friday and Saturday
nights, for the Saturday baltle will
also be celebrated with dancing. The
athletic exchequer is about down to
sa level and it is going to take a pile
of thirty-five cent fares to bring. the
level up Jo normal.
Riddell and Graff Back
Ted Riddell. back on a furlough from
the Pensacola naval aviation school,
and Lieut. Glenn Graff, home from
j Camp Jackson. S. C, dropped in to see
Dr. Stewart yesterday and announced
that they bo.th would probably be
ready at the beginning of the next
semester to take their old places in
Cornhusker sports. Riddell was elect
ed captain of last year's Cornhusker
five but was injured before the season
was fairly begun, and he had to retire
in favor of Jackson. He expects his
release from the navy a short time
after his return to camp and hopes to
get back to the university by the
opening of the second semester.
Graf was the Huskers' star two
miler last year and he will be ready
to don his track togs as soon as the
call for candidates is
spring.

INTER FRATERNITY BODY
IN FAYOR OF OLD RULES
That fraternities of th university
should abide by the previous rules as
regards initiations, was the decision
reached by the inter-fraternity council
at its first meeting of the year, held
Sundar afternoon. Other
matters j
o nofetnoned until the members
could discuss them with their own fra
ternities.
The rule in regard to initiation of
new members is. that each new man
pledged must make all of his noun
the first .semester in school, and fail
ing in this requirement, he must make
twenty-four hours before n.i can o
initiated. This rule was iaia ana
during the present semester in order
.v.. mon ipsvine for training camps
Vaf men leaving ior .
, m L initiated But now that the !
might be initiated, uui n
'I? it idei tht thejrMi ihe magaxine win improve with j
best policy to follow would be the one
that would place fraternities on the
pre-war basis as soon as possible.
The Formal Question
The council decided to postpone
action on the question of formals for
two weeks, during which time the dif
ferent representatives will get the
opinion of the members of their re
spective fraternities. Most of lhoe
present at the meeiing were In faor
of giving formal parties the second
semester, but were agreed that it
would be necessary to limit the ex
pense which might be incurred. It is
not certain what this maximum
amount will be, but on account of the
high price of all things connected
with parties this year, it Is probable
that it will not be more than $150.
Do nt envy the successful man.
Think of the trouble he had in making
out that income tax return sheet.

College Sport is a Loser
LAWRENCE. Kan., Jan. ,4. Base
ball will probably die as a college
sport in the -Missouri valley this
spring, according to W. O. Hamilton,
manager of K. U. athletics. Ames.
Kansas and Missouri were the only
teams who had teams last spring and
the games were scheduled in series
of three to cut down expenses. The
weather caused most of the games to
be cancelled.
"Baseball as a college sport is a
loser. We usually play to empty
stands and the early spring weather
is hard on the players, and the early
rains usually cause most of the
games either to be postponed or can-
I celled. No other school in tne vai-
