Salurday Battle Never Before
Equalled in Tense Suspense
and Excitement
Scrapping clawing, twisting and
whirling, the Camp Dodge Twilighters
and the Nebraska Cornhuskers bat
tled a furious forty minutes Saturday
night in the armory, first one, then
the other jumping into the lead and
only the timekeepers' whistle saved
the Dodgers from a beating. The final
score stood 25 for Camp Dodge and
24 for Nebraska, which gives an exact
indication of the comparative merits
of the two teams. They were perfect
ly matched and df the time had held
ont for two hours longer, the count
would have foeen 100 to 100.
Tie it Up Four Times
Nebraska first broke into the score
column when a foul was called on
Beresford to which Captain Jackson
promptly replied with a free goal. A
goal by Sayger immediately afterward
put the Dodgers in the lead 2 to 1
and from that they boosted their ad
vantage up to 6 to 1. Two baskets by
Jackson and one by ratty brought Ne
braska on top 7 to 6 and from then on.
the two quintets were not more than
four points apart at any stage of the
proceedings.
They tied the score at 1?., 15 and
17 and then a free shot threw them out
of plumb but again at the 22 point
mark they brought the score to a tie.
Sayger then tossed a basket and an
exchange of blows between Reynolds
and Maegher caused Referee Schiss
les to declare a double foul and ban
ish the belligerent players from the
game. Beresford hit the loop in his
free throw but Jackson's shot fell
short and the score stood 25 1o 22 for
.Dodge and the finale only two min
utes away. In that two minutes Neu
mann shot a goal and the Huskers
were rushing things savagely. Father
Time swooped down with his scythe
and cut the proceedings short, giv
ing the Twilighters the victory 25 to
24.
Jackson and Maegher Stars
Although the individual score col
umn shows Jackson and Maegher far
out in the lead with twelve points
each, the members of both teams
worked so harmoniously together that
hardly any one man shone out more
brilliantly than the rest. Jackson is
the surest shot on the Husker quintet
and his pals invariably would work the
hall down to their captain and ne
would flip it into the cage. Schollen
berg played a demon game on the

and Gillian were terrors on (he of

Cornhusker To Be
The Cornhusker this year is to be
everybody's book. This is a broad
statement, but true, the management
asserts, and they are calling upon
everybody to take advantage of their
generous offer by supplying represen
tative material.
The staff is planning to have all copy
edited, all pictures taken and all art
work ready for the engravers by the
latter part of February.
The Cornhusker office is the busiest
place on the campus just now. Kven
the customary Saturday aft ernoon holi
day failed to provide any rest for mem
bers of the staff who spent the day at
work. Editors sought frantically for
new and original ideas, which, by the
way, they promise to have in abund
ance; while others scanned university
more important part. Maegher played
close to the goal and happened to get
his hands on the leather oftener. Say
ger, Beresford and Coughlin. the fleet
halfback on the football team who
made two runs of 45 and 62 yards re
spectively against the Huskers last
November, were in the thick of the
scrap all the while.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS HOLD
INTERESTING MEETINGS
Twenty university girls who com
promise the Wa-lo-hi camp fire group
hold meetings every Monday evening
at 5 o'clock in the Y. W. C. A. room,
and all girls who wish to become
guardians are invited to attend any
meeting. This camp fire was organ
ized last year with Mrs. Frederick
Teal as guardian. This year it has ex
perienced the same difficulties as
many other organizations. Miss Jose
phine Gordan is guardian, and the fol
lowing officers have been elected:
Martha Helner," president; Avis Rus
sell, vice-president; Anna Jensen, sec
retary and treasurer.
Plaus for the coming year have
loen made. At some of the meetings
the girls will decorate their camp fire
gowns, and plan their headbands.
Other meetings will be devoted to
first aid demonstrations, and at sev
eral meetings later on in the year the
girls will study camp craft. Practical
demonstrations of' "fires that will
burn" will be given, and the girls will
practice cooking over an open fire.
Besides their regular meet.nigs the
hurls plan to take a number of hikes.
Last Monday evening a ceremonial
meeting followed a two course supper,
prepared by the girls themselves. The
following program was given: Song.
"The Game of Make Believe," Avis
Russell, and "Seek Beauty," the first
law of the Camp Fire, Mrs. Teal.

STUDENTS PARTICIPATE
IN "SHRINER FOLLIES"
Uni Men and Women Make Up
Chorus Show at Orpheum
Monday -
Some real local talent will be dis
played in the finished production, the
"Shriner Follies," tonight and Tuesday
night at the Orpheum theatre, when
several university students will take
part. Every year the Shriners offer
a minstrel show and this year the cast
is unusually talented. Joe Breni &
Co. are putting the show before the
public, and Joe Breni of New York
will take the leading part.
A well directed chorus will support
him. This choms is made up of the
following university students: Frances
Whitmore, Vivian Hansen, Beatrice
Montgomery, Doris Cole, Helen Gilt
ner, Dorothy Doyle, Mrs. Bess Agor,
Winifred Williams, Alfreda McPrang,
Floreine Reed, Florence Lewis, Doro
thy Pierce. Dale Refnhardt, Richard
Spangler, Karl Hildebrand, Elmer
Witte, L. R. Ioyle, Glenn Gardner,
Jack Halahan, and Ross Hammond.
Winifred Williams and Dorothy Doyle
have solo dance numbers.
This will be a very clever produc
tion, and well worth attending. It w ill
be presented two nights only, no mat
inee. Those who remember yast year's
performance will look forward with
pleasure to witnessing the Folliies,
tonight or tomorrow night. The scene
is laid at a summer resort, and so one
may expect all sorts of originality and
ingenuity on the part of every one in
the cast.
