Our Part In the
Big Tournament
Today In 'tween fifteen hundred ami
two thousand high school students of
Nebrusa are coming to Lincoln for
the highest high school basketball
tournament in the world.
.Tust how many ol' these athletes
and visitors will choose Nebraska
University fr.r their alma mater de
pends largely on the students who
have already made the choice. Many
of the contestants in the basketball
festival which will engage our atten
tion until Saturday night have never
been on our campus before. First
impressions are lasting.
University buildings will be open
for inspection all during the tourna
ment and it is hoped that a large
number of the high school men will
take advantage of the opportunity to
become acquainted with the many ad
vantages offered here. But there are
many who will not take the necessary
step unless there are University stu
dents to direct. For this reason every
one should be on the alert to guide
and assist the visitors around the
campus. Courtesy counts.
If the buildings are open for in
spection, no less will the students be
inspected by hundreds of prep stu
dents who have only hazy ideas of
what a college student is like. False
and damaging reports, it is known,
have in the past been circulated con
cerning the character of student ac
tivities at Nebraska. Actions speak
louder than words, aud one action
which in any way bears out these
false impressions will be remembered
vividly. In a like manner actions of
the right kind will do more for the
benefit of the school than volumes of
newspaper stories telling of athletics
or other activities of merit.
Teams from "the home town" will
no doubt receive attention but let the
teams from the other fellow's "home
town" not be neglected. Many team3
will be eliminated tomorrow, others
on Friday, and student organizations
will not be able to entertain these
men during all their leisure hours.
Individual effort is needed to make
the Lincoln visit memorable and
worthwhile.
Fraternities have responded royally
to the call for housing facilities. The
"N" club has admirably arranged for
a smooth-sailing system of timing
and scoring. Plans have been made
by the Y. M. C. A. to meet the visit
ing teams at the station today. Let
there be no slackers in our whole
hearted effort to boost Nebraska.

Nebraska should keep him at any

"This ancient silver bowl of mine
it tells of good old times, of Joyous
days, and jolly nights, and merry
Christmas chimes."
This verse was brought to mind by
a very melancholy Incident the othet
evening. I saw hid far away in the
rubbish heap and ancient and honor
able loving cup. It was a real loving
cup. A product of the days when a
loving cup was something useful and
not merely a pretty engraved orna
ment. This was a masculino-looklng
affair. It was big and solid and looked
as if it would hold a considerable
amount of celebration. It did not
have dainty handles and artistic
lines but we will surmise that loving
cup did more good in a single night
of use than one of the modern sort
dofs in its effiminate and ornamental
lifetime.
What is more pathetic than an ath
letlc team bringing the cup to the
school or the individual bringing it
to his house and then putting it on
the shelf to be shown to visitors?
In the famous "good old days" all
was different. In those days ath
letic victories were really celebrated
and the loving cup fulfilled a useful
and frequent part in the ceremony.
How it must have seemed to have
the historic bowl passed round and
round mid the songs of the partici
pants. How the heart of the loving
cup must have filled with joy when it
realized the wonderful service it was
performing.
But now evil days have fallen upon
the race of loving cups. Thank good
ness as yet no one has descended so
low that he has dared to fill it with
insipid milk or still worse grape
juice. We wonuer wny cups are sun
given. Embroidered doilies would be
more appropriate.
Bringing back the remembrance of
deed that has caused world-wide
comment, Col. A. S. Rowan, tne man
who carried the "Message to Garcia,"
will address the officers and students
of the University of California to
morrow at 4 o'clock in Wheeler
auditorium.
Elbert Hubbard has immortalized
Colonel Rowan in his famous "A Mes
sage to Garcia," written on February
, 1S99, during the Spanish-Amer
ican, war. Over forty million copies
of "A Message to Garcia" have been
printed, a-larger circulation than any-
other literary venture has ever at
tained during the lifetime of an au
thor, in all history.
Colonel Rowan's trip through Cuba
during trying times, to find General
Garcia and deliver an important dis
patch to him, is the subject matter
of the booklet, but the latter is more
than a mere narrative of Colonel
Rowan's shrewdness and daring It Is
a preachment which bears an import
ant message.
President McKinley merely said to
Rowan "Carry this message to Gar
cia," and without the multitude of
questions which usually accompany
such a command Rowan did his work
quietly and efficiently. Obeying the
creed of the soldier, "Not to renson
why," Rowan carried his message to
Garcia.
Hubbard says "It Is not book-loam-lng
young men need, nor instruction
about this or that, but a stiffening of
the vetebrae which will cause then,
to be loyal to a trust, to act prompt
ly, concentrate their energies: do the
thing -'Cary a message to Garcia.'"
