Second Payment to Memorial

Days Past Due.
That 8o0 students have not paid
their second installments on their
stadium pledges, more than sixty

Memorial Stadium Association last
night The second , payment was

An possible means are being used
by members of the stadium commit

fll naturally affect the credit of

"Every student who signed a sta

eemt that many of them do not re

transaction. They should -not

of Pan-Hellenic are promised by the
party committee.

by the combined orchestra which has
been secured for the formal. If pos
sible, a medley of favorite fraternity
songs will also be included on the

Corsage Barred.
"Corsages are barred," was the
edict sent out by the Klub in re
sponse to questions asked by some
of the organizations. Men are re

the cost as far as possible, reducing
the price of the tickets . 50 cents.
The movement, inaugurated this
winter by the Kosmet Klub, to have
couples at University dances trade
partners frequently during the eve
ning, will culminate at the Pan-Hel
lenic dance. Men are asked to keep
this in mind Saturday as the Pan
Hellenic is given to acquaint all fra
ternity men and women with each
other. A distinctly Nebraska spirit
cannot be shown if all do not co-op
erate in trading dances.

Intensive Study
Heralds Coming
of Final Exams
The one armed paper hanger from
Oklahoma who has the cigarette habit
and the itch is probably a man of
leisure in comparison with the 1924
Cornhuskers from holidays to the
twenty-first.
The instructor greets his returned
students with the hope that they have
made a New Year's resolution to
study diligently. He is met with grim
expressions and tightened lips. The
happy relaxation of vacation has pass
ed and the throaty growl of semester
examinations has come too close for
comfort; it wakens the dreamers and
stirs the plodders.
The weather has also heeded the
faculty prayers and tardy winter has
put a razor edge on the outdoor air
and turned inviting walks to a chilly
crispness. If a student is seen outside
it is a safe assumption that he is aim
ing straight for the nearest open door
The Library has doors that swing
easily, and they are swinging all the
time. Inside it is comfortably warm
and truly academic ; noses are not to
be seen for they are all buried in
textbooks.
The newcomer hears only the whisk
ing of leaves and the scratching of
pencil and the shuffle to from the
reserve desk. He receives an uneasy
impression that if he were to revive
his habit of the lazy warmth of Nov
ember and December, the habit of
freauent halts from the scholarsnip
race to indulge in pleasant medita
tion and reverie, the wrath of the
powers of justice would descend upon
him with suddenness and ferocity.
His remembrance of languid aatumn
is only a misty dream of former in
carnations. So he studies with the
rest.

HUSKERS LEAD
SOONERS 35-21
Captain Usher Leads Attack
in Fast Game for Sec
ond Victory.
NEBRASKA IN FRONT
FROM FIRST OF GAME
'
By John Hollingsworth.
The Oklahoma Sooners, who would
sooner beat Nebraska than any other
team in the Valley, were forced to
retire from the fastest game that
has ever been played on a Husker
floor, with the wrong end of the
pleasant score. The Sooners were all
set to win, but soon after the whistle
was blown, Usher, Nebraska's di
minuitive captain, sunk one from the
side and from then on Nebraska led.
The season's launching was exe
cuted on the home rectangle Satur
day night when the Nebraska cagers
turned back the invading Tigers from
Missouri with the short end of a 24
to 18 count, was reinforced and Ne
braska's stand i.i the Valley remains
at 100 per cent, two games won and
none lost.
Ahead at Half.
The Huskers were leading at the
close of the first frame 20 to 9. The
offensive combination of Captain
Usher, Black, and Goodson was one
that the southejrners were unable
to solve. The Oklahoma coach called
on his total supply of reserves in a
vain effort to halt the onslaught, but
the Nebraskans were hot and they
weren't hankerin' for a cooling. In
the first half Captain Usher sunk
four baskets and two free throws,
Black connected three times on two
point baskets, and Goodson made a
difficult overhead shot. Tipton and
Volz were invincible in the Husker's
back' court and the invaders were
held to two baskets from the field.
In the second half Wallace, in
serted in the Sooner lineup for Mc
Bride, got on a shooting streak and
made four baskets before the Husk
ers could stop him; His basket
shooting and floor work, and the
floor work of Ruppert and Goodwin
were the features of the opposing
play.
Usher Start.
The floor work and basket shoot
ing of Captain Usher belong in the
headlines and with it the floor work
of .Black, Cozier and Goodson. Cozier
had been in the game but a few sec
onds when he caged the first of
three baskets. Then impenetrable
guarding of Tipton and the fast ad
vancing of Voltz after he had
stopped opposing plays were factors
in the Huskers defense that remained
a puzzle to Oklahoma throughout the
contest.
The Huskers hit the basket from
all angles and passed with lightning
speed. Like Missouri, Oklahoma was
outplayed in all branches of the
game.
Friday night Nebraska crosses
goals with the Kansas Aggies on the
home court.
