Advantage of Systems.
Under the first system three days
at Thanksgiving, six days at Christ
mas and three days at Easter all of
the students living close to Lincoln
are enabled to go home for all three
vacation periods'. They miss out. on
the final football contest of the sea
son under this system. This game be
ing that with Notre Dame will be one
of the most important of all those on
the Cornhusker schedule next year.
There are, however, many students in
the University, who cannot conven
iently go homo and get back to Lin
coln in this short period. Those who
live in the far corners of the state or
beyond the borders of Nebraska where
train connections are none the best
must stay over Thanksgiving and are
deprived of at least two days at Christ
mas time. They can do little or noth
ing while in Lincoln for this vacation
and the vacation time iz nothing but
a waste to them..
Under the second system one day
at Thanksgiving, eight at Chtisitmas
and three at Easter thoso students
living dose io Lincoln cannot go home
for Thanksgiving while all students
re given a much better vacation for
Christmas. This will keep all students
in Lincoln for the Thanksgiving foot
ball contest and it gives all of them
longer Christmas holiday. This
system also gives those students who
ork during the holidays a longer
Period. This system is'a distinct ad
vantage for those students whose
tomes are a great distance from Lin
ln as it gives them fully two more
days to spend with the home folks.

AG STUDENTS PLAN
Recent Meetings of The Ag Club
Show Interest in Increased
College Spirit.
At two succeeding meetings of Ag.
club, December 6 and 13, many steps
have been taken for the future prcg
rress of the agricultural college in
tho development and adoption ot
measures of vital interest to every
Ag. man, in college publicity, in col
lege athletics and in a college or
chestra. College publicity backed by
faculty and students is materializing
into a campaign that should put the
agricultural college on the map as
one of the most important colleges
of the University of Nebraska.
Interest in basketball was instilled
into the men by Mr. Nefson who rep
resented Ag. college at the recent
meeting called by Director Luebring
in regard to an taitra-mural basket
ball tournament. Promising material
for a championship team will soon
be in intensive training and with good
coaching the, farmers should win the
tournanttnt. A report of the men or
ganizing the Ag. orchestra was ap
plauded as was the report of Mr. Ball
concerning the Ag. mixer after the
holidays.
The need of a V. M. lounging room
for Ag. men was discussed and an ef
fort will be extended by the club offi
cials to procure such a room some-
whtre on the campus. A campaign for
the sale of more subscriptions to the
Cornhusker Countryman during the
Christmas vacation was outlined by
Mr. Stenger, circulation manager of
the college magazine.
Almoc one hundred Ag. men were
at each of these meetings and the
spirit and pep that overflowed shows
that Ag. college is alive and coming
into its own as a college of the Uni
versity of Nebraska.

DEFINITE LINEUP
NOT YET SELECTED
Freshman To Be Ready To Scrim

Next Week.
With the basketball activities in full
;wing at other Missouri Valley schools,
Nebraska 'iige men a.u rapidly round
ing into shape for the coming season.
Coach Frank has been giving tho
Varsity siiff workouts and long pract
ices all of this week. No definite line
up has been picked as yet as thero
are practically two teams oi equal
rength.
At Ames, Coach Kent has spent tho
last week scrimmaging the Varsity
gainst the yearlings. The Ames aggr
gation have been showing exceptional
good early season form and trimmed
the F:osh without a great deal of hard
work. Last season's quintet is back in
full force and worked with their old
time speed. Crien and Paxton are the
choice at forwards with Innes working
at center. Currie and Woodward have
been doing the bulk of the work at
the guard positions. Elliott, Martlett,
Stauffer, and Butcher are expected to
bid strongly foe any vacant positions
in the first string.
Dr. F. C. Allen, head coach of the
Jayhawkers, has had his proteged
working behind "closed doors'' during
the past week. The Kansas mentor an
nounced previously to this step that
he was not afraid of any secrets get
ting out but on account of the noise
and confusion attending opening
scrimmage work.
The Jayhawkers are cap'ained this
season by George Rody, the only third
year man on the team. jMiuacoii,
guard from last season, is the only
other man back from last year's quin
tet. Speck, Woestemeyer, Lonborg,
McDonald, Mifflin, and Black are all
showing up well in the pre-season
workouts.
Coach Pickett ofthe freshman squad
gave his men a short scrimmage pract
