COACH RESTS
TIRED PLAYERS
Husker Squad Will Start Training
Today for Dual
Contest.
IRISH FAST ATHLETES
Nebraska Will Try to Hand a
Defeat Similar to Last
Year's.
Coach Schissler rested the Huskers
yesterday after their strenuous Iowa
trip last week. The squad returned
in fairly goa condition considering
the four hard games they played.
The team will start training today
for the two contests with the Notre
Pame team on Friday and Saturday
of this week. The Huskers will
probably scrimmage with the best
teams in the city league in prepara
tion for the "fighting Irishmen."
Reports from Notre Dame indicated
that the Catholic school is' repre
sented by the fastest basketball
quintet this year that has repre
sented that school for a number of
years. Followers of the cage sport
will remember the two games Ne
braska played with the Irishmen on
the Armory floor last year. The
Huskers sent the Notre Dame team
home with the short end of the score
in both contests last year.
Huskers Forced to Limit
Nebraska was forced to the llinl.t
o defeat the Indiana school last year.
The Catholics put up a real battle
and both contests were hard fought
and both teams used rough tactics
throughout the two games. Nebraska
had a much heavier team to put
"against the Notre Dame quintet last
year b'it Coach Schissler feels that
the speed of the pony five will make
up for this advantage that the Husk
ers had in weight.
Just what the lineup will be that
will face the Notre Dame men will
not be decided until the eve of the
first game on account of injuries re
ceived to some of the men on last
week's trip.
' Captain Bailey has a bad foot at
present but should be in condition to
battle against the Irishmen. Smith
was forced to leave one of the games
on the Iowa trip on account of a bad
hand. Bekins, who started on the
trip with a bad leg Is rapidly recover
ing and will be in first class shape
for the Notre Dame contests. Warren
received a sprained ankle at Grinnell
and had to be carried from the floor.
There is some question as to whether
he will participate against the Catho
lics. The remainder of the squad is
in good condition for the contests.
Armstrongs vs. Hardys.
A game that will interest a large
number of University students will be
played on the Armory floor this after
noon at 4:15. The Armstrong team
of the city league will meet the Hardy
All-Star team. Armstrong's Is prac
tically made up of University men.

TARDY STUDENTS DELAY
PROGRESS ON ANNUAL
Failure to Identify Pictures and
Supply Information is
Troublesome.
Work on junior and senior and or
ganization sections of the 1921 Corn
husker is being delayed by the failure
of some of the students to turn in
some of the necessary material for
these departments of the annual.
There are a half dozen organiza
tions' pictures at Townsend's studio
which have not yet been identified
and proofs have not been accepted.
Officers of organizations who know
that proofs of their group pictures
have not yet been accepted as yet
should go to Townsend's at once and
identify the pictures so that they may
be sent out to the engravers at once.
Thi3 trouble is probably due to an
oversight on the part of officers of a
few organizations. Unless these pic
tures can be identified, they may have
to be omitted from the book in order
that the work of laying out the or
ganizations section may go on.
Fail to Fill Out Cards.
Probably thirty junior and senior
students who have arranged for pic
tures in the class sections of the
annual have not turned in "junior and
senior honor cards. It may be that
the cards were turned in, but were
mislaid.
It is necessary that these cards be
filled out in order that the data used
in this section opposite the picture
can be obtained. The full name, the
college and the home address of all
students is needed on these cards if
students have no other honors that
they wish to have published.
In order to facilitate matters it is

Aggie meet at Ames,
where the Cornhusker and Aggie
grapplers competed in the presence
of 2,500 Ames students, a gathering

cidentally, that the Ames attendance
was not exceptional, citing the fact
that at many western and middle
west schools the wrestlers perform
before packed houses.
The case of Penn State college may
