Nebraska Mat Team to Meet the
Hawkeyes in Dual Meet Here
Saturday Night.
TSOJTMAN AND HUNTER
MEET IN FEATURE MATCH
Two Gladiators Met in Semi-finals
of Western Intercollegiate
Meet Last Year.
The Cornlmsker grapplers heid an
other strenuous workout at the arm
ory yesterday in preparation lor the
the Hawkeye invasion Saturday. The
meet with the Iowans promises to be
the hardest meet remaining on the
Scarlet and Cream schedule, and Dr.
Clapp and Coach Harry Troendley
are drilling the Husker squad of mat
men continually in an effort to round
the Husker team into winning shape.
Several weaknesses in the Nebras
ka team were discovered in last Sat
urday's meet with the Gophers, and
the coaches have been busy this week
strengthening the weak spots In the
Husker team. The Cornhusker grap
pling crew it still handicapped by the
ineligibility of the regulars in the 115
pound class. Dr. Clapp is expected
to have Pickwell, a 125 pounder, train
down to the featherweight class, or
use an inexperienced rasslerin this
division.
The feature match of the meet with
the Hawkeyes Saturday will be prob
ably be the bout in the light heavy
weight division between Troutman of
Nebraska and Hunter of Iowa. These
two grapplers met in the semi-finals
of the western intercollegiate meet
last year, and after a fierce battle,
Hunter secured a decision over Trout
man. The speedy Husker has im
proved since last year and is expected
to turn the tables on the Iowan in
the meet Saturday.
The Hawkeye school has an unu
sually strong wrestling team this
year. Five of the men on the Iowa
team are veterans, whfi.ei the two
men wrestled on the freshman team
last yean. The Jowans Jtriumphe.d
over the Purdue mat men last Satur
day, 36 to 14, in a dual meet. The
Hawkeye captain, Sweeney, is a
clever grappler of the highest calibre
and he never fails to put up a strong
fight. Iowa has a strong, well-balanced
team, which has visions of go
ing through the season undefeated.
The meet with the Iowans win be
held Saturday night at the armory.
Student tickets will admit to the
moft. All 'university students are
urged to attend.

GREEK TOURNAMENT
UP TO THIRD ROUND
Exciting Games Mark Close of
Second Round With Winners
Meeting Today.
Three games were played Wednes
day in the inter-fraternity basketball
tournament. The D. U.'s eliminated
the Phi Delts by taking tho best end
of a 30 to 5 count; Delta Tau Delta
won from Sigma Nu, 24 to 7 and Al

have been changed. The Delta Sigs
will meet the Delta this afternoon and
the Betas and Phi game will also mix
today. After the winners of these
two games have been decided the en

PROF. MASON TALKS
TO FROSH ENGINEERS
First Year Engineers Hear Ad
dress on Structural and
Bridge Engineering.
Professor Mason of the civil engl
neerine department addressed the
freshmen engineers last Monday eve'
ning at the Orientation lecture. He
spoke on the two subjects that he
teaches: structural and bridge engi
neering. 1 "People frequently confuse struc
tural engineering with architectural
engineering," stated Professor Mason.
Architectural engineers have full
charge of the design or a building as
to height, size of rooms, spacing of
the grounds and appearance. The
structural engineer has charge of de
signing the building as to strength
for safety and material to be used
Architects and structural engineers
always work together, generally in
the same office or room, as they have
to confer frequently.
Structural engineering is the
science of designing and erecting
structures for housing and storing
purposes. In designing a building
the engineer works from the roof
down, whereas In building, he nat
urally has to work from the ground
up.
Highway and railway bridges are
the most common (types built now;
they can either be made of timber,
steel or masonry. Timber bridges
are generally used for short spans
where cheapness is the chief object.
They are often put up temporarily
until more traffic develops to war
rant a better structure when steel cr
concrete Is used. In Europe there
are many stone slab bridges.
Steel lr!iges can be divided into
four types: suspension, truss, piaie
and cantilever. These have become
possible by the great development
in the steeljndustry.
The first two years of an engineer
ing student's work at school are de
voted to the fundamentals while the
last two are spent in doing practical
problems, machine drawing, etc. A
graduate engineer may secure Jobs in
the following order, as a structural
draftsman, junior structural engineer,
assistant engineer, associate engi
neer and on up to the senior engi
neer who Is a specialist in the work
from the ground up.
Fraternities Lay Down On Their
Duty By Not Teaching Uni Songs
Fraternities and sororities at the
University of Nebraska are laying
down on their duty to the schol by
substituting teachjing bf their own
songs for those of the University.
There are few if any of the Corn
husker students who know any Ne
braska songs other than the "Chant",
and possibly the "Cornhusker". Yet
there is a large song book filled with
Nebraska songs.
Mass meetings at the university are
practically obselete. This is partly
the result of the lack of a suitable
meeting place for students. But even
when a large group of students Is
brought together, seldom are any
songs other than the "Chant" and the
"Cornhusker" sung. The Cornhusker
song book is practically never brought
Into U:'6.
The burden of teaching songs to
University of Nebraska students reals
with the organized societies. Fra;
ternities, sororities and literary socie
ties should make it a requirement that
their members know. the most of the
Nebraska songs. University spirit to
a great extent rests in the fraternities
and singing is the greatest known
builder of spirit.
Students from other universities,
large and small, can sing a string of
six or eight songs without even think
ing of the words. Ask a student from
Nebraska to sing a half dozen Corn
husker songs. He will be able to sing
the "Chant" and a few of them will

NEBRASKA SWIMMING
Movie Have On The University Co-ea
Do moving pictures have any in
fluence on University co-eds? This
is a question that has been asked
time and time again but has never
been successfully answered. There
is a movie in town at present that
really shows that University girls
are susceptible to the lure of the
screen.
Every one knows that Mae Murray
is one of the most extreme stars on
the silent Btage. Her costumes are
most ultra-modern. In the, play Pea
cock Alley Miss Murray is in her ele
ment because she plays the character
of Cleo, a French dancer, and wearf
all the latest Paris gowns, which are
without a doubt, very "charmante",
and attractive.
The management of the theater
where Peacock Alley is being shown
says that this picture (has attractei
more University women lhan any
other picture this season. Naturally,
one girt tells the others where she can
get idoaB for her new spring gown,
and thus the patronage of the theater
is increased. All yon who saw this
be able to sing the "Cornhusker"
Those two out of a volume chuck full
of good, live, peppy Cornhusker songs.
No one can deny that Cornhusker
spirit has not been at its best the last
few years. The greatest display of
spirit seer at Nebraska for several
seasons was that shown at the return
of the 1921 football team from Pitts
burgh game. Students throughout the
parade felt the Impulse to sing, yet
there was nothing for them to sing.
They gave the "Chant" and some of
the Husker yells and their stock was
drained dry. They wanted to sing
more songs but they did not know
them. The present crop of students
has not been taught the Cornhusker
songs and they were not to blame.
But they are to blame If the coming
crop of students do not learn the
songs. It is up to the students now
to learn the songs and then pass
them on to those following them.
Singing of popular songs is a com
mon diversian among fraternity and
sorority members. It would not take
long for them to learn the many
Cornhusker songs if they would prac
tice a few minutes each noon or ever
ing. Fraternity houses are one of
the few places where students at Ne
braska can easily b etaught the Ne
braska songs and it Is they who will
be blamed if a more complete know
ledge of the Cornhusker song book is
not gotten by the students. They have
laid down on the job in tre past, let
them make up for lost time now.

picture think back and remember
those gorgeous white boots Mae wore
in one of the scenes. Now, this is the
part that had the influence on Nebras
ka's college girls.
It is rumored that the young wo
man who wore the high black boots
with red patent leather trimming, to
school yesterday, saw the picture
starring Mae three times in succes
sion. You remember that yesterday was
a rainy, April-like day. Galoshes
were out of the puestion, because
there was no snow; anyway, galoshes
are getting rather "passe", the thrill
is nearly gone. One simply could not
run the risk of catching cold and
when some rich relative sends you a
pair of the late Prals boots, why not
take advantage of the spring rain.
A rescrlptlon of said boots: Black,

CONVERSATION DEPT.
WORKING ON BIG MAP
The conversation and surve;. divi
sion of the university is now preparing
a detailed map to show the position
of the Missouri river along the eastern
border of Nebraska. The river has
shifted its position more than one
mile during the last year. This change
has afected the area of the state, it
has also meant the destruction of some
very valuable agricultural leantl. This
map which is being prepared shows
accuratelf the position of the river
fifty years ago and the changes oc
curing since that time.
STEELE S.
WRITES FROM EGYPT
Bill Day Receives Interesting
Letter From Nebraska Man
in African Region.
Secretary Bill Day received the fol
. owing letter from Steele Holcombr,
the representative of the Y. M. C. A.
in Egypt. This bit of news is particu
larly interesting to us at the present
time because of the recent political
disturbances in Egypt.
January 18, 1922.
The Secretary,
Y. M. C. A.
University of Nebraska,
Lincoln, Nebraska.
Dear Sir,
I presume you have seen in the pa
pers ftiat Egypt is once more the
scene of rioting and upheaval. This
started two days before Christmas
as the immediate result of the arrest
of Saad Pasha Zaghloul, the National
ist leader and idol. The country it!
now under martial law, and the au
thorities seem to be determined to re
store order. Underneath all the dis
turbances is the failure of negotia
tions between the British anr Egypt
tian Governments to come to agree
ment as to the relationships which
sha'.l exist between the two countries.

Outplaying Oklahoma in eveiy de
partment of the game Nebraska s bask
et tossers defeated the Soonee flip
pers 39 to 34 In a fast contest on tne
coliseum floor last night. The ac
curate goal shooting of the Scarlet and
five, combined with their fast pass
ing game, was responsible for the vic
tory over the Oklahoma quintet. Cap
tr.in Austin Smith, flipping seven bask
ets, starred for the Huskers.
Soon after the opening Thistle
sounded, Capt. Smith registered a neat
goal from the side, and the Huskers
were never headed. Smith soon land
ed another goal, which was followed
by a Sooner basket. Both teams then
began to drop the leather through the
hoop with surprising regularity. At
the end of the first half, Nebraska
was leading by ten points, 30 to 20.
At the beginning of the second half,
Oklahoma spurted, and threatened for
a time to overcome the Husker lead.
The Huskers rallied quickly, and pull

the final whistle blew, the Huskers
were holding the long end of a 30
to 34 score.
Captain "Tony" Smith and "Slim"
Warren shared the point-getting hon

fifteen points and Warren ten. Rid

ADAM AND EVA GETS

Omaha Daily News Reporter Gets
Wild Idea Concerning Uni
versity Production.
The University Players' next pro
duction "Auam and vn" which goes
on March 2, 3, 4 at the Temple
theater seems to be causing a great
deal of excitement. Some reporter
from the Omaha Daily News while
sauntering carelessly and aimlessly
about our campus chanced to see the
sign advertising "Adam and Eva," and
being extremely keen on the wondei
ful news scoop he had made, submit
ted this startling item, together with
some other bits aboutUniversitynight
to his paper in Omaha:
It seems that the night editor was
on his vacation or somewhere be
cause some Industrious individual in
their offices where writing up the
item an overwhelming urge to make
a real story out of the innocent "Adam
and Eva." The result of this unguided
activity was that a story graced the
front page of the Omaha News that
did credit to their reputation as a
spreader of the latest and most start
ling news. The worthy young person
who wrote the story must have been
to the Strand that evening for his ad
jectives were running wild. He or
she referred to the lack of costumes
which he recalled the historical Adam
and Eva wore. The Players accord
ing to him are to 'out-Ziegfled Zieg
felu' fthiicVer that may mean. ThS
whole choice bit of news covered a'
great deal too much y;pace 6ince it
was nothing but a Jumbled up mesa
of words and press, agent adjectives.
The Players are not attempting to
startle the world as our ill informed
friend would have everyone believe,
