Delta Upsilon Wins Champion
ship in Exciting Game with
Delta Tau Delta.
Three Extra Jive-Minute Periods
Were Necessary to Decide
the Contest.
The D. U.'s won the Inter-fraternity
tournament by nosing out the Delts
8 to 6 after, the game had ended in a
tie and three extra periods were added
The Delts led throughout the first and
second halves until Budd Smith tied
the count with a free throw. Five
minutes were added. The Delts
grabbed the lead again when Hubka
donated two points. One minute re
mained and Budd Smith again saved
the day by netting a neat one. An
other five-minute period was played
without result, the count remaining 6
and 6. Both combatants were deter
mined to battle it out and for four
minutes of the third extension it was
neck and neck until Paynter plucked
the winning pale on a long shot from
the middle of the court.
Never, in the memory of the Coni-
husker Greeks, was there staged a
closer, cleaner, more exciting inter-fra
ternity contest. The sidelines were
packed with yelling, shrieking sup
porters who went wild and overflowed
the court when the Delts snatched the
lead at the beginning of the first ex
tension and again when Budd Smith
evened it up at the end.
From the first jump the fast and furi
ous pace of both contenders indicated
the true nature of the contest. Stro
mer drew first blood for the Delts, but
Paynter quickly evened the count. A
foul on Stromer gave the D. U.'s a
chance to snatch the lead, but Smith
missed and Hubka pushed the Delts
two counts ahead by breaking through
for a lollapaloozer. Time was taken
out to allow "Hub" to exchange his tat
tered shirt for a new one. "Hub" was
proving to be the engineer, of the Delt
steam roller, but the aggressiveness of
the two fighting teams was split fifty
fifty and the ball was at one end as
much as the other. Five minutes of the
first half remained. A technical was
called on Stromer, but Smith missed.
Carson was tapped for a personal, but
Hub failed to locate and the half ended
with the Delts leading 4 and 2.

Cornhusker hopes of a Missouri
Valley championship this season died
a dismal death last night when the
Jayhawks took the measure of Dr.
Stewart's team, 31 to 17. This unex
pected defeat drops Nebraska to third
place in the valley race and the Corp
huskers will have a hard fight for sec

The .game- at Lawrence yesterday
was a freak. Coach Stewart played
the first half with the second team,
which held the K. U. five to an 11 to 9
score. The regular, Cornhusker line
up took the floor in the second half
and instead of running off with the
match they were totally smothered
and 20 points scored against them,
whereas only 9 had been snatched
from the second string team. The air
tight game of the K. U. guards- kept
Jackson and Gillilan out of range and
the 8 points earned by the Cornhusk
ers in the second half were hung up
by Shelly, Newman and Bailey. The
fierce nature of the battle is shown by
the fact that Referee Quigley called 22
fouls on the K. U. five, and finally
threw Bunn out of the game. Patty
was Nebraska's star point winner,
ringing up nine altogether, seven of
which were free throws.
Coach Stewart doubtless counted on
his second string men to tire the Jay
hawks and hold them to a reasonable
count and then overwhelm them with
the fresh regulars. The result of the
maneuver proved once again that the

French Call Y. W.
Bluebirds Symbols of Happiness
The French delight in calling the
American Y. W. C. A. secretaries 'the
bluebirds' because the color of their
uniform overseas is about the same
as those worn by the French army,
and the bluebird signifies happiness,"
Madam Bernard said to a reporter
for the Daily Nebraskan who inter
viewed her yesterday. The French
invited the American Y. W..C. A. to
help them in the recreation work for
the French women working in the
factories to relieve the men for ser
vice. In August 1917, they came and
opened the first recreation center for
the powder or Canary women, so-
called because their hair and skin
become that color while making the
munitions. In October, 1918, there
were more than fifteen recreation
centers. . This was thoroughly appre
ciated by the French women and
girls.
The American Y. W. C. A- was In

ENGINEERS WILL HAVE
USE OF LIBERTY MOTOR
The University of Nebraska will
probably have a Liberty motor in the
department of Mechanical Engineer

States Senate has recently passed a
bill whereby it will be possible for
state universities to obtain for educa
tional purposes the loan of Liberty
motors such as are used in airplanes.

of the city have been able to keep
their work progressing without diffi
culty.

beatiful personality.

now running two big hostess houses
in Paris. Miss Mary Dingman who
has been over there from the very
beginning is known as the "mother"
of all recreation "Foyer." She re
ceived a personal letter in September
from the French Minister of Interior
thanking, in the name of France, the
Y. W. C. A. for its unselfish work.
Madam Bernard then told a little
of her own work In France and about
her mission to the United States.
She was sent to St Etienne to help
with the Y. W. C. A. work. After
spending several months there she
was asked to come over to America
on the United War Work campaign,
speaking for the work and of the
French appreciation of the Y. W. C.
A. When the campaign was over she
was invited to visit the universities
and colleges in the southwestern and
