"The work of Vera Barger, na

who will conduct the Grace Coppock
Memorial drive which is to be

he University Y. W. C. A. supports

or ten cities, ,for playground possi
bilities and other public health work.

HUNDREDS OF PLEDGES
FIVE MONTHS OVERDUE
Second Installments Have Been
Owed by 720 Students
Since October.
Seyen hundred arid twenty ttu
dents have not paid the second in
stallment on their stadium' pledges.
This installment has been due since
October 24.
"I believe that the students who
have not made their stadium pay
ments do not realize the seriousness
of the situation," Coach Schulte said
recently. "Some of the students who
say that they cannot pay their ovei
due obligations are among the best
"fussers" of the school. Money that
they should have paid, we have to
borrow, and the interest we pay does
not go into equiping the stadium as
it should."
"The stadium office tells me that
it costs $14.40 for stamps every time
they send out monthly statements to
these students. This means that $72
has already been lost, so far as the
the stadium is concerned. Besides
stamps, there is the cost of the state
ments themselves and stenographic
expense. These three items plus in
terest on the borrowed money make
a considerable total loss to the sta
dium and therefore to the school and
to those of us who have kept up our
payments."
Coach Schulte said that he does
not believe that many people would
allow their ordinary bills to run four
months without paying them. This
obligation is no ordinary bill, it is
a pledge guaranteed by the honor
of the maker.
"I certainly hope that the students
who are back on their stadium pay
ments will clear up this obligation at
once. Every day I realize more
what the stadium means to our Uni
versity. Next year, for example, I
will have 500 men doing track work
in it if the construction now in prog
ress is finished. Delinquent students
should make every effort possible to
pay their pledges and help equip our
stadium."

FOOTBALL TACTICS
FEATURE NEAR END
In a game that at times resembled
a football melee rather; than a bas
ketball contest the Husker five over
whelmed the Cyclones last night at
the coliseum 27 to 14. Coach Kline
turned his second team looe in the
final period giving every man on the
squad a chance to figure in the game.
Cozier and Usher were high point
men on the Nebraska team. Each
of them made 8 points. Jacobsen, star
for the Iowa team, was lield to 1
points by close guarding.
Nebraska took the lead eaily in
the game. Usher made 2 points from
free throwsibefore the game get hot.
Jacobsen made a free throw for
Ames and then Cozier dropped one
in the hoop for the inital fiel dgoal.
Another free throw by Tipton put
the Huskers four points ahead. A
free throw, by Anderson and a field
goal by Jacobsen brought the Cy
clones w-ithin one point of the Ilu: k
ers. Nebraska then opened up with a
brand of ball that put the Huskers
ahead 12 to 6. Kline substituted the
entire second string squad at this
juncture of the game. The Husker
offensive with the reserves in the
lineup continued unabated and tie
half ended 14 to 9.
In the second half the play bean
to assume a rough and tumble tone
with both sides grappling for the
ball. Voltz of Nebraska thought he
was on the gridiron for a moment
when he made a flying tackle at ort
of the Ames players. Ames was
making a last desperate effort to tie
the score and keep Nebraska from
scoring, and fouls were committed
right and left by both teams. Ames
was penalized 8 times in this period
of the game and Nebraska 4 times.
In the last five minutes Nebraskas
second string men were again in the
lineup. Rufus Dewitz was the big
man on the Nebraska. reserve' squud,
making one field goal and one free
throw in the few minutes that lie was
in. Beerkle made a free throw.
The victory over Ames put the
Huskers a few per cent higher in the
percentage column, but did not
change their relative standing in the
Valley pennant race. Ames was en
trenched a bit deeper in cellar posi
tion. The Washington defeat ET

The final game on the Nebraska
