The morning's fun started when the freshmen challenged the juniors for a game, of ball, which resulted in favor of the latter by a one-sided score. sumtuous dinner was spread promptly at the sound of the penitentiary whistle and the Laws waded through the delicacies in the same manner they do Blackstone. E. J. Burkett Talks Dr. E. D. Maxey was master of the noonday ceremonies. Former U. senator E. J; Burkett addressed the coming practioners in which he men tioned a number of legal secrets which will be valuable to the men In future practice. An athletic program was the feature of the afternoon. The opening even was a baseball game between a picked team representing the junior and senior classes.

DEPICTS CIRCUMSTANCES OF EX HUSKER'S DEATH The' following letter was written to Mr. Saunders, father of Lieut. Ray mond Saunders, by Lieut. W. S. Mc- Clintock, and relates to him the cir cumstancea under which Lieut. Saun ders was reported missing. 185th Aero Squadron, A. P. O. 758, A. E. F., March 22, 1919. Dear Mr. Saunders: "Am Just in receipt of your letter which was addressed to the 94th Aero instead of the 185th so that it went up into Germany to Raymond's old squadron and lost much time in being directed back to me. Raymond was originally in this squadron but was transferred to the 94th Just after the St. Mihiel drive, when they were badly in need of pursuit pilots. After the war some of his mail still came to us and I. remailed the photographs to you because I knew you would be most anxious to have them. "I regret exceedingly that we still have no news whatever of Raymond's death and that no record has ever been found of his grav or plane. He certainly fell in German territory and wag buried by the German sir service which they invariably did. If he were injured, they would have tenderly taken him to one of their hospitals for every attention, for many of our Pilots who fell and later returned after the armistice, reported every courtesy and care by the German officers.

GIRLS TO KEEP CINDER TRACK HOT SATURDAY Girls Expect to Shatter Old Rec ords in Annual Interclass Tourney. The girls' annual interclass track meet will be held Saturday afternoon, May 10, at two o'clock, on the uni versity athletic field, under the aus pices of the Women's Athletic Asso ciation with Mary Stephens as sport leader. The final tryouts for entrance in the meet will be held this afternoon at 5 o'clock on the athletic field. Every girl must sign up sometime today on the poster in the gymnasium, for all the events she wants to enter and must appear at this time to tryout for them. Nearly fifty girls have already signed for entrance in the various events of the meet and the competi tion for places in the meet will soon be closed. Some of the co-ed ath letes are doing some remarkable high jumping and pole vaulting. The cin der-path artists are cutting down their time in every day's practice. In the meet last spring two girls broke the former state record in the high jump and other records will probably be broken Saturday afternoon. The entries for the meet will be published later with the officials and the events. Everyone who is inter ested in girls athletics should come out to Saturday's meet and see the girls' display of skill. students of the University who have dreams of rising to the top in the world of business. The following ar ticle which is taken from the Omaha Daily News gives a vivid picture of the spectacular rise of this graduate of our Alma Mater: "Whatever success I may have had," he explained without hesitation, "is due to the fact that 1 have kept close to my work and never for a moment have I lost faith in the future of Om aha and Nebraska. "I have kept busy, but don't take it for granted for a moment that by merely being busy all the time may one make the greatest progress In business or a profession. One cannot be really successful if one does not have time to participate in the affairs of the community as well as in one's own line of endeavor. "But in my own case it is due to the fact that I have kept busy more than to anything else that I have per haps been moderately successful." The Omaha Daily News man, Inter viewing Mr. Gamble, reflected that to be the vice-president of the First National bank at the age of 39, at a salary in keeping with the traditions of one of the oldest and largest finan cial institutions of Nebraska and the middle west, is being something more than moderately successful. "You were without financial assets, I understand, when you began your business career?" he suggested. I had had a good' start. I had the ad vantage over many men in the fact "Yes," exilained Mr. Gamble. "But (Continued on rr" Foor) THREE GIRL TEAMS ENTER TOURNAMENT Co-Eds Will Battle Next Week for Supremecy in Nation Game.

YALE VARSITY CREW TOO MUCH FOR TIGERS DERBY, Conn. While the victory of Yale University's varsity eight over the Princeton varsity crew on the new Housatonic course of two miles gave unbounded satisfaction to many Yale followers and proved that Prof. M. A. Abbott, Yale8 rowing coach, had achieved a distinct im provement in the seating of the se nior crew, since their disappointing showing against Pennsylvania two weeks ago, the eight is still untried over the four-mile distance, which they must row against Harvard Uni versity at New London on June 19. However, the victory has strength ened the feeling of confidence in Pro fessor Abbott's ability to pick a win ning combination from the wealth of material at hand, so that the task of Yale's coach will prove easier than would have been the case had the varsity lost to Princeton. Yale's time over the couse, 10 min utes 16 2-5 seconds, was Just 41 2-5 seconds better than -that made by the Crimson crew which rowed against Yale over the same course one year ago and 10 3-5 seconds better than the best time made by the same crew about a week ago. Princeton's tlma was 10 minutes 20 3-5 second and would have been better, had not H. H. DeGray, '20. rowing at 7 in the Princeton boat lost his stroke, check er the speed of the shell a quarter of a mile from the finish, enabling (Coottnopd on Ptre Tow)
