Cornhusker Management Gives
Students Chance to See the
"Beauties with Personality"
The photographs of the twenty-five
University of Nebraska co-ed "beau
ties with personality" that were sent
to James Montgomery Flagg, from
which he chose the six pictures that
will appear in the Vanity Fair section
of the 1922 Everybody's Cornhusker,
are now on exhibition in the show
windows of Magee's clothing store,
Thirteenth and O streets. The pic
tures will be displayed for several
days.
Students are urged to visit Magee'3
windows to view the pictures, which
will give them an idea of the way the
poses will appear in the annual. Each
picture has been carefully done by
an artist of exceptionally ability, and
they exploit the talents of Nebraska's
"fair women" to perfection.
Many faculty members have com
mented on the beauty of the pictures.
The six photographs that will appear
in the Vanity Fair section will be
printed on rotogravure and will re
flect the popular tapestry design of
workmanship.
Although James Montgomery Flagg
selected the six most beautiful girls
several weeks ago, by sending the
winning numbers to Editor Randol
of the Cornhusger, the announ nent
of these selections by noted artist will
be made known until the books ap
pear on the compus next month.
The acceptance of the invitation
to judge the Vanity Fair contest,
shows that Flagg thinks highly of the
Nebraska girl from a standpoint of
beauty and personality. It is gen
erally known that Flagg's office was
f'ooded with other offers when he ac
cepted the offer from the Cornhusker
management to judge the contest.
Many of these he turned down be
cause of lack of time to devote to
them.
University of Minnesota Baseball,
Tennis, horseshoe, golf and track are

AGS IS TUESDAY
"What about Farmer's Fair?" is the
current question now on Ag Campus.
Ideas and suggestions are running
wild and but few definite plans have
been made. The firecracker of Ag
enthusiasm will be touched off Tues
day evening in a great mass meeting
of every Ag man and woman. In the
open, on the campus if the weather
man permits, each committee is going
to meet and work with the general
supervision and assistance of the Fair
board. It is only three weeks till the
greatest Farmers Fair of history will
be staged.
Preparation for the groat event will
take every spare minute of every
body's time for these three weeks.
Every Ag is in on some part of tile
undertaking and every one is going
to work. "No one shall sluff" is the
watchword.

METHODISTS LOSE
BY 26 TO 7 SCORE
Capt. McCrory Features Game
With Fine Runs Before
Crowd
The first home game of the 1922
season for the Cornhusker baseball
squad resulted in a 16 to 7 victory
for the Huskers over the Wesleyan
Coyotes at the Rock Island Park yes
terday afternoon. The game which
was really to be called at 2:30, was
postponed an hour because of the
visit of Marshall Joffre to this city.
The game started with the Nebras
kans going fast and gaining a long
lead ahead cf the Methodists. The
excellent work of Munger on the
m;und was a main feature of the
came. Munger held the Coyotes in
a tight position and they were unable
to make any progress to speak of the
first few innings of the contest. He
struck out ten men, the first six Coy
otto batters up were struck out in
direct succession by the fast Nebras
ka hurler.
The work cf Captain Wm. McCrory
was also a big feature of yesterday's
game. Capt. McCrory made five
scores in his first five times at bat.
Donahue and Hinman were among
the stellar players of the Methodists.
The game was not as fast as many
will probably be in which the Husk
ers will participate before the season
is over. An unusual number of errors
on the part of both teams were made

nothing else but snap peoples pic

is almost unheard of in this day and
