Sabers are being issued this week to' company commanders and staff officers in the cadet regiment. This is the first step in preparation for the spring review which will be held in six or seven weeks, preliminary to the annual competitive drill. Com panies are organizing now for the compet and the gold star inspection by army officers this spring which is to decide Nebraska's application for rating as an honor military school. Gold stars will be placed in all military science lecture rooms this week as a reminder of the inspec tion. The department ' is making every effort to make a good showing in the inspection on the results of which will depend Nebraska's chance of securing the rating as a distin guished school. In order to attain the ratine Nebraska must be superior to some school that already holds the honor as the number is limited to 20 ner cent of those that have senior R, O. T. C. units. If Nebraska is given the rating some other school will have to be dropped. Last year Nebraska was . handi capped in the inspection by incle ment weather which prevented out door drill. The inspection .itself was conducted during rainy days which put the cadets under a disadvantage. This year the companies are utilizing every fair day for outdoor drill, and regr'f outdoor work will be taken up as soon as winter lets up. Spe cial emphasu will be placed on the nomenclature of the rifle, close order drill, extended order, and military courtesy.

RIFLEMEN ADD TWO VICTORIES TO LIST Illinois and Pennsylvania Are Latest Victims of Husker Team. The Universities of Pennsylvania and Illinois are the latest victims of Husker marksmen, according to re turns received yesterday from these schools for firing ending last Sat urday, which show that Nebraska beat Pennsylvania by 152 points and Illinois by 164. The Pennsylvania score was 3557 and the Illinois was 3535. Nebraska made 3709. The two victories bring the Husker total for the season up to 23 with only two def eats to mar the record. The Michigan "score cet 3023 which was telegraphed to Lincoln last Sat urday was made 100 points too high by a mistake in transit. A letter of verification received yesterday gave the correct score as 3523, 186 points less than Nebraska's mark. Returns have not yet been received from Knox college and University of Cal ifornia. Different Ammunition Ued. The Illinois rifle team used 22 long rifle ammunition, a note of ex planation attached to the score sheet stated. More accurate shooting is possible with 22 long cartridges than with the 22 shorts that Nebraska uses and Coach Eggers estimates that the Nebraska total, if 22 long rifle am munitions had been used would have been 3800 or more. Nebraska is firing against eleven schools this week. Missouri is in cluded in the schedule and is the opponent that Nebraska is most anxious to defeat this year. Rivalry in military athletics between Ne braska and Missouri has been heated for several years at the R.O.T.C. camps. The Missouri team has not done much intercollegiate shooting this year, and little is known about its ability. Ten other schools on the program are Minnesota, Arkansas, Coe .Col lege, Fairmont, Wichita, Ark.; North Dakota, Kansas Aggies, University of Kansas, South Dakota state, Iowa state, and North Dakota Aggies. There remain only two more weeks of intercollegiate shooting as firing stops the week ending March 15. Corps area matches and the Hearst trophy matches will be completed in April. - The gallery will be closed May 1 and all shooting after that date will be done on the outdoor range at Bennett. The pistol team, and men who are going to camp will be given special instruction in out door shooting in preparation for shooting at camp. Hugh McLaughlin to Manage Stock Show Hugh J.

T HUSKERS WIN BY SCOREOF 18-16 Ames Baskeaball Team Is De feated by Two Point Margin. NEBRASKA THIRD IN VALLEY LIST Nebraska defeated Iowa State 18 to 16 at Ames last night in a slow game, the only feature of which was the inability of Nebraska forwards to locate the basket and register a score that would indicate the Husker superiority over the Cyclones in floor work. Nebraska outplayed the Iowans all through the game. The half ended 14 to 10 in Nebraska's favor. Goodson was high point man for Nebraska. He made three field goals nd three free throws, for a total of nine points. Cozier was next with seven points, making three field goals and one free throw. Black made a field goal. Jacobsen made most of ' Ames tallies, shooting two field goals and making four free throws. Captain Usher, Tipton, Vols, Co zier and Goodson were in the Husker lineup. In the second period Kline substituted Black for Cozier, an,d Eckstrom for Usher. The victory over Ames last night cinches Nebraska's position in third place in the Missouri Valley pennant race. Washington lost to Kansas Aggies last night at St Louis, 83 to 30. The defeat puts the Pikers three games behind Nebraska, and only a succession of defeats for Nebraska in the remaining games of the season and a row of victories by Washing ton could tie third place. A return game with Ames will be played here next Monday. The Drake game Wednesday night will finish the basketball season.
