been in big demand by Lincoln fans
and university students ever since
they went on sale Monday morning
and prospects Wednesday evening
were that the entire house would be
rrabbed before the doors open for
:he program at S:20 Friday evening.
A one-aight performance seems to be
far from being enough to accomoda'e
tie ( !J)arid for tickets.
L'vfry o:ie of the nine acts making
n; tl,e Friday night program is of
character rarely seen in amateur pr
duttions. Several of the actors hare
bad chautauqua experience and the

Leading acts are "Hints to the
Heavy," "Comme-ci, Comme-ca," enter-airier.-.
"The Crystal Gazer," "The
Mystic aza." "The Violin Girls" and
special dance and musical number
ly two pretty co-eds.' A particular
ffcatu:e of the "Comme-ci. Comme-oa"
eturtainers is the fact that they wilJ
lay emphasis on songs of Wilbur

"The Crystal Gazer and "The Mys
:Jc Zoza' are both acts of a rcysteno'i?
latere. The unknown man pliyin;;
lbi lead with Floyd Johnson in "The
Cryttal Gazer" has been the talk of
tie Caznuptu since his picture ap
pearAij in the Daily Nebraskan before

Handicap Meet to Follow
Which All Wrestlers May
Enter

An open wrestling meet, in which
any Husker except those who have
won leters in wrestling may compete,
will be held next Wednesday, April
12, Dr. Clapp announced yesterday.
A large number of mat men have sig
nified their intention of entering the
meet, and a closely-contested meet is
expected. Dr. Clapp and coach Tro
endley are in charge of the meet.
Numeral sweaters will be awarded to
the winners in this meet.
Following the open meet, a handicap
contest will be held in which all
wrestders may compete. The handi
caps will be determined in such a
manner that every mat artist enter
ing the meet will have an equal op
portunity of winning the honors.
These two meets are expected to
help keep up the interest in the mat
game. The varsity wrestling squad
will also work thruout the spring
under the disection of Coach Troend
ley, and any man who is expecting
to go out for the team next year is
invited to join the squad and get the
benefit of the workouts.

and one third place in the champion
ship western inter-collegiate wrest
ing meet heln at Wisconsin March 17
and IS. Troutman won first honors
in the 175-poundclass, while Thomas
copped third honors in the 145-pounl
division. The following is the com

K. U. Says "
Valley
In bold black type and inserted in a boxed attractive looking
lead at the head of a story on the K. C. A. C. indoor track meet,
which Kansas University won by a scant five-point margin over
Nebraska, the University of Kansas News Letter conies out with the
statement "We Own the Valley." tl then lists a group of two cham
pionships which the K. U.'s rold at the present time. It fails o
mention the fact that Nebraska cleaned up on them in the foo'.ba'l
battle last November although it does make note of the schools which
Kansas defeated in the 1S21 football season. It also fails to make
any mention of cross country' or wrestling championships which Iowa
State happens to hold at the present time.
In the box under the bold, bad assertion of the K. U. N-ws
Letter is listed the following:
Track, indoor champions, 1922.
Basketball, tied for the title 1922.
Football, defeated Missouri, Ames and Aggies, 1921.
Baseball, champions 1921.
On this record of two championships, a tie for the basketball
title and a record no better than Missouri in the football race and
considerably poorer than the Cornhusker record for the season, the
News Letter asserts that the Universit yof Kansas has it all over ths
other schools in the valley.
Just why the statement should be made is puzzling. Kansas has
a record no better than that of Ames which holds two championships
taken more recently than the Kansas ones and which had a football
record which compared fayorably with Kansas. Nebraska is right
fully recognized as having had one of the finest football teams in the
entire country in the 1921 season, one which carried off the Valley
honors at 1000 par. Missouri had a basketball team which was nigh
unbeatable and which would stand a big show of carrying off the
honors were Kansas and Missouri to meet And the new baseball seas
on which will in all probability see a new champion school has al
ready started. Yet in face of all of these facts, Kansas asserts "We
Own the Valley."
No lengthy story accompanies the article. The little one column,
two inch deep box, with the black head line in quotations, is the only
reference made to the assertion. The story following the box tells
only of the K. C. A. C. track meet and makes no reference to the as
sertion in the box. The University of Kansas does not "Own the
Valley" and there are plenty of schools in the Missouri Valley Con
ference which stand prepared to give the K. U. athletes a great tumb
ling down.

is to be given to Miss Maude Klatte
the secretary who has taken over the

Klatte's salary for the year and it
is very necessary that this amount be

Every girl in the iinlversity will

from the students.
The greatest obstacle to Christian

people is the first and greatest virtue-
Many men and women of China
who are really Christians at heart are
prevented from taking any public
