Seventeen entries came in Thursday and by Monday afternoon the list will be complete. Twelve o'clock tonight is the time limit for the mailing of entry blanks. The flood cf entries has begun to roll in and fifty more schools are ex pected to enroll at headquarters by Saturday night. Coach Stewart said: -The tournament this year will be fully as large as that of 191S, which broke all records." Many schools have found it impossible to organize their, teams on account of the pro longed vacation caused by the "flu." Several of last year's entries have dropped out, notably Fairbury and Kearney in class "A." The complete list will probably be out next Tuesday. A sight to make the gods glad the respect everybody yields to a splendid young man or woman. Earth has noth ing better to show than the homage paid to genuine worth. 1919 Annual to Feature Photos and Biographies of Cornhusker Warriors The Nebraska students and alumni will be indebted ir years to come to She staff of the 1M9 CORNHUSKER for the effort they have put forth In obtaining pictures and biographies of the Nebraskans who were killed, wounded or decorated while in the service. Nearly a thousand letters were written in order to obtain this infor mation and the hundred and fifty pho tographs which are now either on their way to the engraver or have been fin ished. The majority of the student body will not be able to realize the necessity of having such a history oT ihe real Cornhuskers who did their honest share in this Great War.

Aden, chairman of the commit tee which has charge of the community meetings now being held at the Or pheum Theater each Sunday after noon, announces that the program Is completed for the thtrd meeting." w hich will be held March 2d. The speaker of the afternoon will be Governor S. R. McKelvie and his topic will be "State Legislation."

At 2:45 in the afternoon there will be a thirty-minute concert given by Miss Shanefelt. well known harpist of Lincoln, accompanied by member of the university orchestra, and Miss lie nors Burkett will sing. A motion picture will be shown of the state institutions, their location and work. These pictures will graph ici.ll.v show how vitally these Institu tions are a part of our community life. The interest in these Open Forum meetings is increasing with each pro- j pram given.

Shire, piano, who presented Schutt's Trio. Opus 27, in a very pleasing man ner. The following movements were played: Allegro vivace. Andante tranquillo Scherzo. It has been suggested that roads in this country be lined ith trees as a lasting memorial to the Americans whofought in the war. Yes, and now and then might be placed a sour apple tree in memory of the Germans. shows tbat the work on it has been thorough in every detail. Even the fra ternity brothers or very close friends of men who have been wounded or have obtained distinction on the other side are astonished to learn of these incidents through our offices, so-well tave the parents responded. .This thoroughness 'which character izes the service record will be foand In every section, as the staff Is deter mined that no detail will be omitted. Every page will go to make up the most complete Cornhusker the Univer sity students have ever had occasion tn huv. It will truly be a COK.-s- HL'SKER. of CORNHUSKERS, for CORNHUSKERS and by CORNHUSK ERS. OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY NOT TO HAVE ARTILLERY Rumots afloat thiit Ohio State Uni versity is to be furnished with equip ment for a coast artillery unit, n branch of the chemical warfare serv ice and signal corps and aviation units, were denied Friday by Lieutenant Colonel Charles F. Leonard and Cap tain Griffin Halstead cf the military department. Captain Halstend, acting adjutant, says that the department has never received orders to this effect and that it is absolutely absurd for one to think that the war department is contem plating establishing such complete units at the university. One story has it that 120 guns, rang ing in size from 155-millimeter how itzers to 4.7-inch field pieces, and all sorts of radio apparatus, telephones, wave meters, etc., will be sent here for the use of the students. Captain Hal stead said that this is as much equip ment as is usually furnished a brigade and that it would take nt least 1,500 horses to transport the field guns. Ex.

Cornhuskers - Next Week GREEK TOURNAMENT AT HALF WAY POINT Delta Tau Delta, Beta Thea Pi and Phi Delta Theta Are Winners. Nine Teams to Be Matched for Second Whirl on Saturday. Inter-fraternity basketball simmered down to the halfway point Thursday evening when Delta Tau Delta. Beta Thetu Pi and Phi Delta Theta elimi nate Phi Gamma Delta Kappa Sipma and Sigma Chi respectively by decisive scores and brought the preliminaries of the Grek tourney to a close. The nine teams which emerged victorious from the first inning will be matched In a second whirl and the winners will then be advanced to the semi-fiinals. The Deltas completely calcimined the Fhi Gams in the opening rough and tumble bout by a score of 16 to 0. Ernie Hubka was the whole 6how, the former football captain tossing all of the eight baskets except one during the entire game. The Phi Gams put on a good comedy at any rate and slid down to the dressing rooms covered with bumps and bruises. Dog piles and individual wrestling matches marked the game throughout and at times team play was as unknown as straw berry shortcake in a German prison camp. Stromer started the scoring, but Hubka promptly grabbed the reins and tended to the scoring personally after that. Waters. Hall. Lawlor and Stro mer exhibited evidences that they could, or at least had at one time played basketball. The first half end ed S to 0 in' favor of the Delta Taus.

Betas, 12; Kappa Sigs, 9 The second bout was more of a bas ketball game, in which the Beta Theta Pi quintet triumphed over Kappa Sigma by a count of 12 to 9. The score hovered around the 50-50 mark nearly all the way through, with the Betas n:aintaing a slight advantage. At brecht opened the scoring for the Kappa Sigs with a long dribble down the floor and through the hoop. Haver Iv tied the score a moment later and Brown hoisted the Betas into the lead with another goal and they were never headed, although the Kappa Sigs were close on their heels up until Kauff tossed the final basket. Substitutes: Vinsant for Triplet!, Sharp for Sloniger. Linn for Samuel- Haverly and Albrecht were the stars of their respective teams, the Beta representative annexing seven points and the Kappa Sigma man counting five. Roberts and Kauff showed real fighting ability. At the end of the first half the score stood 6 to 5 for the Beta Theta Pis.
