ordered that each camp be provided
with a detachment ot regular army
men to perform these tasks. It has
also been decreed that the students
shall receive the West Point allowance

Quarterly Examinations Come
Shortly Beior spring vaca
tion Begins.
Mid-semesters begin March 15 and
end March 20. -; The dreaded quarter
ly examinations will be held a wee
and a half before spring vacation be
gins. The few weeks that remain
before the testa would be profitably
spent if devoted to studies instead of
social affairs and aimless ponderings.
It is not unusual for a student to de
mote the first eight weeks Of each
oemi-semester to the pleasantries that
swarm about hint and to forget that
there is always a penalty for his
frivolity and that the Judgment will
be upon him ere be is aware of its
nearness.' The last week of the half
semester is spent In burning the mid
night mazda and cramming the learti
of weeks into hia head In a few short
hours. It doesn't pay. The jumble''
facts twist themselves into myriads
of phrases, become more Jumbled and
are not only useless but detrimental

RUMORS CIRCULATE
THAT THE RAO PICKER
IS UP TO HIS OLD PRANKS
It has been rumored that many stu
dents have lately contracted the habit
of visiting Station A each morning and
receiving the day's issue gratis under
false pretenses thus prohibiting , the
legitimate subscriber from securing his
copy of the Daily Nebraskan. If such
i rumor is true, and it probably is, the
practice should be nipped in the bud
before the whole student body em
ploys the same methods of a "Rag"
picker.
The circulation department states
that 1200 papers are printed eaeh day
Nine hundred are distributed at the
sub-station while the remaining 300 are
mailed to out-of-town subscribers and
"xchanges with Other college and unl
verslty papers. There are plenty of
Nebraskan8 for all students who have
extracted $1.25 from their wallets.
Many more can be easily printed for
those who wish to fall in line with the
900 on the circulation lists.
Are you a "Rag" picker?

Tourney 14 to 8.
In a fast and strongly contested
fame ot basketball Delta Tau Delta
defeated Phi Delta Theta by a score of
12-13, thereby winning the inter-fra-
terntty championship for 1920. The
same was plajted on the Armory floor
and the bleachers were crowded with
cheering1 Spectators.
The Delta entered the fray the
favorites over their opponents and
proceeded to take the lead from the
start. The fast floor work and bns-
ket shooting of Haverly ind Weimar
completely baffled the Phi Delt
guards. Haverly connected tor aina
points and Welmer was good tor
seven, Hunger from a guard posi
tion added four.
The feature of the gime was the
playing of 'Chick" Hartley, fresne-
man football star of 1919. and star of
the freshman basket squad. Hartloy
was responsible for nine ot his team's
points, thrownig seven free throws out
of nine attempts. In the :rco of dafe&t,
he maintained his cool-hoadedness and
showed himself a true sportsman at all
Urnles. Bob Hall also played an ex
cellent game for the Phi Delts. The
plucky forward fought hard through
out the game and accounted for ono
Celd goal.
The work of Haverly, Welmer. Wyn
coop, and Munger, is deserving of great
praise. Excellent teair work .as evi
dent and time after time they wcrked
tbe ball down to the soal and regis
ter1 two points. In team work, the
winners were far superior to their op
ponent-). The defense ot the Delts was
pr-jctii-a'Iy impregnable and very few
ihots were allowed the Phi Deltn

VALPARAISO, Ind., Feb. 2S Th
Nebraska Corhhuskers took tb . first
gam on the local floor from the Val
paraiso five by the score of 30 to 17
here last night. A large crowd at
tended the battle favoring the home
team and meeting one of the greatest
surprises of the season.
Contrary to expectations, Coach
Schissler held Captain Schellenberg
and Russell out of the lineup and
started his fast "pony" team against
the big Valparaiso five. This com
bination played rings around the
Hooslera and accurate basket shoot
ing by Bekins and Patty soon put
the game on ice.
ValnnraiHO led onlv once, when two
long goals by Goheen placed the In-
dlanans on top for a minute. Patty
gave the HuBkers a lead with a corner
shot a moment later and the Huskers,
once In front, maintained their advan
tage to the finish. The score:

FHI DELTS 7i:i RIGHT
TO BATTLE Kl FINALS
Defeat Phi Delta Theta Five
22 to 13 in Hotly Contested
Battle.
The Thi Delta Theta basket quintet
downed the fast Sigma Alpha Epsilon
team to the tune of 14 to 8 Friday
afternoon in the semi-finals of the
Inter-fraternity meet. The excellence
of team work displayed by the Phi
Delts and the skill in looping field
goals contributed to the defeat of the
Sig Alph aggregation. The scoring
started soon after the ball was in play
when Koehler of the Phi Delts caged
a basket from the center of the court.
Fast playing by both teams featured
the first half which ended 7 to 8 in
favor of the Phi Delts. A scare was
thrown into the leaders camp after
the Sig Alpha gradually scored but
the lead was clamped when Hartley
f the Phi Delts threw two field
goals In the last two minuteB of play.
The Delta Tau Delta flippers had
everything their way against the
Alpha Sigma Phi team, easily win
ning by the score of 19 to 7. The
Delts scored from the start looping
the basket with comparative ease. A
superb brand of team work rarely
shown in fraternity games by the
Delts scored from the Btart. looping
throughout the conflict Field goals
by Etter and Dobson and foul goals
by Nixon touted 7 points for the
Alpha Slgs. Wlemer and Haverly of
the Delts contributed to the score
column for the Delts.
Why I Am Always Broke or
Down With the Lunch Hound
The last bars of the fox-trot died In
crash. The dancers applauded raad
y for another encore. The "more" of
the stiff-legged dancers was plainly
heard above the applause of the more
conservative element. It was of no
avail. The musicians were giving no
thing more than they were paid for.
Do not the rules of the unions say that
all dances shall cease at eleven thirty
tnd It was the eleven thirty-one. Not
having learned as yet the art of the
stiff-legged dance I was not as enthu
siastic as some ot the others for some
more so I hurried my girl off to the
"loak room so that we could get our
pick of the coats and hats there. We
bettered ourselves considerably in the
line of wearing apparel (I got a new
derby) and then tripped lightly up the
street toward home.
on our way borne we passed a
popular restaurant. ,My girl got real
clubby as we passed in front of the
place, squeezing my arm severely. I
understood these signs ot emotion as
desire to have something to eut at
my expense. I regretted very much
that the place was crowded and that
we were unable to find a table but
such was the case. My girl was a vet
eran Lunch Hound however and was
not daunted in the least by this. Was
there not some other place farther up
the street where a person could dine?
Wte would go to a drug store up the
street which she knew of where one
could get perfectly adorable sand
wiches. On our way there she confided in me.
Her sorority had Just that day bought
a new piano. Wasn't that simply
grand? ""Oh, yes, that was fine," I
replied. My own personal convictions
were different however. They ought
to be able to buy a new piano every
year or so. The girls never did have
but two meals a day at the house.
Their dates always bought them their
