ond semester was launched early this
week by the members- of the W. A. A.

were on hand to get each extra SI. 25,
Those girls who are selling sub
scriptions report that the armory
floor was thoroughly canvassed Wed
nesday and many students subscribed,
including hosts of new first year stu
dents. Every one ty'ho went Into
the registration hall yesterday was,
at one time or another, queried by
a subscription-taker. Girls were sta
tioned in the building at all hours
of the day, and in this way the six
hundred students who registered Wed
nesday were not lost in the rush
Irene Springer has charge of the sale
of subscriptions by members of Ihe W.
A. A.
A new policy has been adopted this
year with regard to the sale of Ne
braskan subscriptions. Heretofore
some inducement has been offered uni
versity women who would be willing
to canvass the student body for new
names on the Nebraskan account
books. Various prizes have been of
fered at one time and another for the
girl who sold the largest number, and
in some cases a cash prize was of
fered for the largest number of Indiv
idual subscriptions secured by one
person. This year the girls are sell
ing subscriptions without any moine
tary incentive or inducement, but are
doing it because they have the true
Nebraska spirit.
Because the subscription list of te
Nebraskan was larger the past semes

HUSKERS CANCEL
SIOUX CITY TRIP
Examinations and Influenza Pre
vent Schissler's Victorious
Ponies from Meeting Morn
ing side Maroons.
PREPARING FOR HOOSIERS
With ten victories out of eleven
games to their credit the Nebraska
Cornhuskers are taking a vacation
this week and will not make the Jour
ney to Sioux City to meet the Morn-
Ingslde Muroons who they so decisive
ly defeated In the fiist games of the
season. Semester examinations and
several cases of illness are given as
the reasons for car celing the two
clashes with the Maroons. Several
of the Husker veterans are suffering
from attacks of the old reliable Influ
enza and the squad is by no means
in shape to hit the road Friday. If
the games should be played, tbeie is
little doubt but that the Cornhusker
tosseds would have an easy time In
snaring two more victories. Coach
Schissler has announced that there is
a possibility of the Huskers meeting
the Maroons in Sioux City when they
make their eastern trip. If this should
materialize the Huskers and Maroons
will mix on the Morningside court
February 24 and 25.
While the Huskers expected stiff
opposition in the two games with
South Dakota University, they found
little trouble in winning both frays
by large scores. In the first game
the Coyotes were practically helpless
against the clever v ork of the Ne
braskans. The work of Jesse Patty
completely bewildered the Coyote
guards ad the star Husker forward
registered basket after basket. In the
second game, In spite of the absence
of Patty, and Coaci Schissler, the
Coyotes were again humiliated with a
one-sided defeat. Coach Schissler was
unable to be present to direct the sec
ond game with the t?oyotes. He was
confined to his bed at home, threat
ened with pneumonia. His ailment
proved to be only a touch of the Influ
enza, however, and he Is once more
back on the job. The team was very
ably handled by Coach .Schulte in the
absence of Schissler.
Preparing for Indiana
On account of the registration equip
ment, which now occupies the Arm
ory, Coach Schissler's men were un
able to use the gymnasium for prac
tice yesterday and consequently held
the daily grind at the city Y. M. C
A. Schissler does not intend to slacv
up on the practice work merely be
cause of the cancellation of the Morn
ingside games. A great deal of bard
work is necessary to prepare the Corn
'makers for the tilts with "Jumbo"
Stiehm's Indiana Hoosiers, who come
to Lincoln for two mes with the
Huskers next week. The Hoosiers
are looming up as the "dark hcrse
team" of the Big Tl conference, re
cently winning from Purdue and the
strong Ohio State team, which boasts
of the famous "Chick" Harley.
Stiehm's five stop in Omaha Tor a
grace of games with Tommy Mills'
Creighton flippers before coming to
Lincoln, and this will give the Corn
husker fans a chance to see how the
Huskers line up with the Omaha Cat
olics. LUTHERAN STUDENTS HOLD
GET-TOGETHER MEETING
Rev. C. H- Krause, Secretary of
the Lutheran Student Activities for
the United Lutheran Church gave a
survey of the conditions and organ
ization of the church over the country,
before thirty-five Lutheran students
who attended a get-together meeting
held in Faculty Hall last Friday eve
ning.
Plans were discussed to form a
Lutheran student organibation here.
There are about 280 Lutherans at Ne
braska, and a live organization could
be formed. Rev. Krause stated. E.
H. Streiter was appointed to represent
the Missouri Synod; Matt Christen
sen, the Danish Synod; Prof. J. E.
Alexis, the Swedish Synod, and Walter
M. Wolff, to represent the United
Lutheran Church.
A final organization meeting of all
Lutherans in school will be held in
the near future.
