m made inside for all to hear the
program.
Between courses entertainment was
furnished by Gayle's "Rag-a-Jazz" or
chestra, the University Quartet, a
cabaret dance by Herbert Yenne. and
tb Orpneum number. The Nebraska
songs BDd yells which were ln vogue
during the whole evening left no
doubt in the minds of all but that tho
banqiet was truly a Cornhusker Ban
quet.
After the last course Dr. L. D. Young
of tbe First Presbyterian Church took
harge and acter as toastmaster. He
ipoke ol the part athletics play In any
university and impressed upon the
men that the east no longer holds
supremacy over the west in football
but that Nebraska is known through
the east as well as the west for the
type of football teams she turns out.
He then introduced Chancellor Samuel
Averj as first speaker of the evening.
The Chancellor stated that his
topic, "The Kick Off" was not as joy
ous a subject to talk upon as the one
to follow for it is the beginning of the
game and Nebraska's beginning was
not as joyous as her comeback. He
dwelled upon the circumstances that
confronted the football team this
year. He closed with the statement
that it was the spirit of the students
not on the team that was responsible
for tbe overcoming of these obstacles
o! hating a new coach, a new system
of coacbio", and the stiffest schedule
that Nebraska has ever gone up
apainst, and which caused the final
success with which this year's football
schedule closed.
Highest Scholastic Standing
Dr. J. T. Lees was the next speaker
and went back to the first football
teams that upheld Nebraska's fame.
Here be mentioned the one man who
was bere with the first teams and is
still bere Jack Best. A standing tri
bute and an applause lasting for sixty
wonds was made for the little old
n who although hardly able to get
around, dispels all the pains and
bruise which the football men re
Dr. Lees compared the days
hea it was necessary for him to go
to a bank and borrow the money with
hich to finance the football season
itb those of today when the visiting
team does not so much as question
the financial side of the game. Dr.
then spoke of the scholastic
tanding of the men on the team and
tae statement that. "This year's
football team had the highest scholas
tic standing of any team in the his
tory of Nebraska athletics."
Owh Schulte who was introduced
the most Influenclal man on the
fcMs then spoke of his impres
sions of Nebraska and the type of
football which Is played here. After
dmiuiBg that he came here with
roe Impressions as to the spirit at
Nebraska he declared that he now

All fraternities who expect to
participate in the inter-fraternity
basketball tournament are
requested to file their applica
tions and an entry fee of one
dollar with Secretary Farley
Young as soon as possible. The

ROAD INSTITUTE TO
BE HELD THE FI3ST
WEEK IN MARCH
The third, Nebraska Road Institute
will be held during the first week of
March on the city campus of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. All Nebraska en
gineers, surveyors, draftsmen, high
way commissioners, county commis
sioners or supervisors, road builders,
contractors, and other persons inter
ested in the improvement, construc
tion, and maintenance of Nebraska's
pubic roads and bridges are invited
to attend.
This institute will be conducted by
the College of Engineering of the Uni
versity of Nebraska with the co-operation
of the Nebraska Department of
rublic Works and a number of promi
nent Nebraska road builders. There
will be no charge for attendance but
it is hoped that the various counties
will defray the expenses of one or
more delegates of this institute. The
Nebraska Road Institute was inaugu
rated in 1918 with an attendance of
nearly 200 persons representing nearly
every county in the state. Nearly 300
persons attended the institute in
1919. The attendance of the third
Nebraska Road Institute will be in
the neighborhood of 500 of Nebraska's
"highwaymen."
This state is now actively engaged
in the construction and maintenance
ot approximately 5,000 miles of State
Aid Road System. This system will
put every county seat on a permanent
road and will provide means for
transportation of which the state is
now greatly ln need. The funds for
building the Nebraska State Aid Road
System will be provided by Federal
Aid, State Aid. and automobile tax
and will aggregate approximately
$:.,000,000 for the year of 1920. The
main object of the work of the Ne
braska Road Institute is to aid in the
dissemination of knowledge of the
construction and maintenance of
roads and bridges and of materials to
be used in their construction.
The program for the third Ne
braska institute will be a live one.
Some of the subjects being: Organi
zations of State Highway Department,
Bridges, Culverts, Earth Road Con
struction an Maintenance, Construc
tion and Maintenance of Permanent
Improved Roads, Motor Transporta
tion, and Inspection of actual work
being done in Lancaster county.
CLASS ON REFRIGERATION
IN ENGINEERING COLLUUIU
Refrigerating has been studied by
one of the classes in the engineering
college this semester and in a recent
test the young men manufactured a
eoodlv display of ice. Prof. A. A.
Luebs takes up with his students the
different types of machines used in
refrigerating. In all there are four.
The compression type gets its name
from the fact that a compressor is
used to restore the refrigerating me

is used as a refrigerating medium in

WOMEN MAY ENROLL
FOR SHORT COURSES
IN AGRICULTURE
An error was made when it was an
nounced that "women would not be ad
mitted to the University of Nebraska
winter short course in agriculture.
Several women poultry raisers were
planning to attend the course when
they saw the notice. They com
plained to university authorities and a
correction was immediately ordered.
No work will be given in home eco
nomics, but women may register for
the courses in poultry raising and
dairying, or any of the other courses.
It is expected that most of the women
attending the four weeks' course will
specialize either In poultry raising or
dairying. Nebraska women have been
especially successful ln poultry rais
ing and their interest in this line of
agriculture has increased rapidly in
the last year or two.
University authorities are expecting
a large enrollment for the short
course in agriculture. C. A. New
terry, of Alliance, has announced that
he will defray the expenses of four
teen Box Butte county boys to attend
the course. He will select one boy
from each township in the county.
Students must be at least 18 years
ulu and have an eighth grade educa
tion. They may specialize in any of
the following courses: Poultry rais
ing, dairying, animal husbandry, horti
culture, crops and soils, farm manage
ment, and farm bookkeeping.
One hundred and twenty men regis
tered January 5 for the university
short courses in automobiles, tractors,
trucks, and the farm shop. These
courses run four weeks and may be
entered any Monday. More than 200
men have registered for these courses
so far this year.

DEAN ENGBERG GIVES
MUSEUM GIFT OF SHELLS
The state university museum has
been enriched this week by the gen
erous gift of about 200 ocean shells.
This is the result of exchanges made
by Dean C. C. Engberg who began the
collection of marine specimens about
four years ago in the neighborhood of
Tuget sound. His summer vacations
spent in gathering these have brought
him both pleasure- and fame. He has
a large collection of specimens in his
own home about which ihs guests tell
wondrous tales. He has, besides, on
several occasions, enriched the univer
sity museum - with valuable gifts so
that the museum director smiles with
joy and pride when his marine speci
mens are mentioned.

WESTERN TRIP A SUCCESS
Boulder School Team May Play
at Lincoln on Trip
East.
By Orvin B. Gaston
Taking two hard-fought games from
the University of Colorado team, the
Husker basketeers completed a suc
cessful invasion of the west, winning
four games out of five. Rallying from
a defeat at the hands of Colorado Col
lege by a margin of two points on
Thursday night, the Cornhuskers came
back strong and trounced ths Boulder
ites by scores of 27 to 16 and 24 to 13.
Reports from Boulder describe the
playing of the Nebraskans as the best
passing and floor work ever seen on
a Boulder floor.
In the first game at Boulder,. Coach
Schissler started his pony team, with
the exception of Bailey, whose guard
position was filled by Captain Schel-lenberg-
The Colorado team held this
combination at bay and after fifteen
minutes of play were leading the Hus
kers 6 to 4. The Huskers spurted for
a time but ten minutes before the
final whistle blew the score was tied
at 15 all. At this stage of the game
Russell was substituted for Smith and
thus reinforced the Nebraskans gave
a brilliant exhibition of teamwork
which completely bewildered the Colo
rado guards and resulted in goals by
Russell, Patty, Schellenberg and
Bekins. Before the game ended the
Cornhusker score was boosted to 27
while the Colorado total was 16.
Bekins was the chief goal tosser of
Schissler's team, tossing the ball
through the hoop four times New
man and Russell wer each a edited
with two baskets. Jesse Tatty regis
tered one basket and five foul goals.
The Saturday fray was played in
the afternoon instead of the evening
in order to permit the Huskers to
catch an early train home. Again the
Huskers completely outclasred their
Rocky Mountain opponents, displaying
superior strength in all departments
of the game. The generalship and
peed displayed by the Nebraskans
vis too great for the wearers of the
Silver and Gold. The ball was in pos
session of the Cornhuskers most ot
the time. The big team was selected
by Coach Schissler to start this fray
and they did not allow the Westerners
a look-in at any stage of the game.
Pickett, at forward, was the chief
scorer, making four baskets. Russell,
Paynter, Smith. Bekins and Bailey
each accounted for one basket and
Patty md Jungmeyer each aerounted
for three foul goals. The popy tea i
was sent in near the end of the game.
Colorado also used ten men, playing
their freshmen team the last part of
the game.
Before the Cornhuskers departed
from Boulder, Coach Schissler invited
the Colorado team to plaj in Lincoln
later in the season. No definite ar
rangements were made but if the
scheme materializes the Colorado
tossers will probably be seen in Lin
coln during the week of the state high
school tournament.
