Ill) and to the students a bulletin of twenty-seven instructions was issued concerning getting the news, the form of copy and time of submitting it, tho structure of stories, and ac curacy. A half-hundred papers were signed up for by students in News Writing 82 Tuesday morning; and the stu dents in Newspaper Editing 182 and Country Journalism 188 have been given the assignment by Prof. J. E. Lawrence. On the bulletin board in the office of the correspondence bureau the students are directed to sign three lists: the list of contests for the day, the alphabetical list of towns and papers, and the roster of the students of the School. Passes for Journalism students who are covering the games will be issued on authority of the School of Journalism. DR.

Condra of the con servation and survey division in Rep resentative Hall of the Capitol this evening. Detailed industrial films will first be shown, describing the process of beet sugar production in the western part of the state. The second part of the lecture will set forth the land scape in the southwestern part of Nebraska, and along the picturesque Republican River valley. The public is invited to occupy the balcony seats of Representative Hall to hear the lecture. Faculty Men's Gym Class Is Enlarging Attendance in the faculty men's gymnasium class has picked up great ly in the last few days. For a while there were many men unable to come out because of vaccinations, but late ly the class has been steadily grow ing. It was started about two weeks ago, and since that time it has been held at noon every day in the Ar mory. Light gymnasium work and eames are given under the direction of Dr. Clapp. About fifteen faculty men attend the workouts daily.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, GAGE CAPTAIN TO BE CHOSEN Selection Will not be Made Until Board Meet The captain of the 1926 Basket ball squad will not be chosen until a meeting of the Athletic Board, it was announced at the Athletic office yes terday. The Board has not yet de cided on the method which will be used in the future in the election of the captains of athletic teams. The list of letters awarded for basketball this year will probably be announced this week. The amount of work which the annual High School Basketball Tournament brings to the Athletic office has made ear lier announcement of letter men im possible. WRESTLING MEET TO OPEH FRIDAY Ames and Oklahoma A. and M. Will Have Decided Ad vantage in Annual Events. When the annual Team and Indi vidual Championship Wrestling meet opens in the Armory Friday, Ames and Oklahoma A. and M. will have a decided advantage. Neither team has been defeated this season and will come to the tilt with a crew of veterans. Oklahoma has the best team in the southwest, and Ames holds a similar position in this part of the country. ' The Iowa school is tied with Ohio State, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, and Wisconsin in the West ern Conference. The jinx is still with Nebraska, and the Hus-kars are not considered contenders for a high place in the meet. Dale Skinner. Nebraska cap tain, and most valuable man on the team, will probably be out with his injured rib. Mincer is in bed with a crippled leg; Brannigan is injured but it is uncertain whether he will be in shape at the last of the week; and Blore is in the hospital troubled with infection. Only one old man, Highley, re mains on the uncertain list of en tries. New men will have to be used in all of the other classes. Last year the meet was very close Nebraska took it with a score of nineteen points against eighteen by Ames and Oklahoma A. and M. Indications point to keen coinpeti tion at the meet this year. The fol lowing contenders for each class were given out by Dr. Clapp. In the 115-pound division Boyvey of Ames, Skinner of Kansas Univer sity and Campbell of Oklahoma are on top. In the 125-pound clas3 Stur ton of Kansas University and Kurtz of Ames are high men. In the 135 pound class Bringham of Oklahoma is the best contender from a field of dark horses. If Dale Skinner is able to compete he should take the 105 nound class with little difficulty. Woodhull of Ames and White of Ok lahoma are other possible contend ers. Prunty of Ames and Lookabaugh of Oklahoma will probably fight for the 168-pound class championship. Lookabaugh, an indian, was on the United States Olympic team, and has done much wrestling. Pillard of Ames who won last year, and High ley of Nebraska are the best men in the 175-pound class. Roberts, sec ond in the event last year, should have little trouble with holding his own with the heavies. He is from Oklahoma. Install New Engine In Tool Laboratory A LeBland heavy-duty engine lathe, one of the most improved types on the market, has been in stalled in the machine tool labora tory at the Mechanical Building. It was purchased to replace a smaller machine that has been in use during the past thirty years. A few of the professors and in- structors admitted that they were lamruasres. One professor gaj,i that he read about tweive western European languages. 'Another professor said that he had .t.irlioH eleven languages, "but it - - ty.a doesn't mean pet languages he lted were Portuguese, Italian.

TO NAME FOLLOW-UP COMMITTEE THURSDAY Alumni contributions to the Grace Coppock Memorial Fund have swelled the fund to ?1430. The follow-up committee will be announced in Thursday's Daily Nebraskan, by Ar villa Johnson, chairman of the Grace Coppock Memorial Fund Campaign. In Miss Vera Barger's last report, recently received by Miss Irma Ap pleby from the National Headquar ters at New York, Miss Barger gave a report of her work during the months from January to December, 1924. The money raised in the Grace Coppock Drive goes to the support of the work of Miss Barger. consequent ly her work is of singular interest to the girls on the Nebraska campus. The two most outstanding features of her work for the past year have been her experiment with the play ground and the merging of the physi cal education school with the Ging ling College. "I have had a very unusual oppor tunity to watch the development of physical education in China through my very interesting visits to the graduates of our school. In all the places the doors of the government and mission schools have been opened and both have been eager for both help and guidance," wrote Miss Bar ger in her report. In speaking of teaching girls to nlav. Miss Barcer writes, "There is no better method for moral training than that which we can get through play. In this way the Y. W. C. A. has a unique opportunity in develop ing education in China. COMMITTEES ARE NAMED Sophomore President, John Boyer, Announces List for Second Semester.

Differences In Grades At Ohio State Are Recently Investigated A recent investigation conducted at Ohio State University by two graduate students in the department of psychology, under the direction of a faculty member, shows that greater interest in their work, better study habits, and better health have been, found to be the chief reasons for the differences in grades received by "A" students and "E" students. The only method of investigation that has been used to any extent in this investigation of students' study habits is that of personal interviews with the "A" students and the "E" students. The "A" students have been found to be in consciously better health. This was not interpreted by the de partment of psychology to mean that the "E" students are to be excused from work because of ill health, but that students generally should main tain the highest possible level of RIFLERS WIN AND LOSE IN MATCHES Reports on Last Week's Shoot ing Show Two Victories and Two Defeats. Reports received yesterday from the intercollegiate rifle match firing of last week brought tidings of two victories, over Clemson Agricultural college and Indiana University, and two defeats, at the hands of Iowa State College and the University of Cincinnati. The Nebraska team score was 3594, which was bested nine points by the Iowa State mark of 3603, and thirty-nine points by the Cincinnati University score of 3633. Nebras ka's advantage over Clemson Agricul tural college was 449 points, and the Husker score was eighteen points better than the Indiana team score of 3576. Another new season record, this time in the standing position, was es tablished yesterday by W. T. Lammli, who shot an official standing target score of 92. Two other riflemen, R. M. Currier and D. P. Roberts equalled the old official record of 91. A marked recovery from the slump of last week, when the Husker marks men dropped below 3600, seems to be indicated by the targets fired MonHav and Tuesday. Besides the three high records in the standing positions there are several combina tions of high scores in various posi tions. Lammli added a 98 in the prone position to his standing mark of 92. About the best group of tar gets so far is by W. D. Dover who has fired 97 prone, 91 sitting, and DU standing. This week and next are the last on the Nebraska rifle team's intercolleg iate shooting, and the shooting in these two weeks will more than like ly prove the deciding factor in the determination of the six letter men on the squad this year. As the shoot ing stands, some of the high marks men are R. M. Currier, Harold Sha fer, W. T. Lammli, D. P. Roberts, W. D. Dover, R. F. Russell, P. E. Tread- well, B. F. Kossek, and E. L. Plotts. The matches this week are with the University of Kentucky, Univer sity of North Dakota, South Dakota, Western Maryland University, South Dakota State, and Virginia Military Academy. BENGSTON GIVES GEOGRAPHY SPEECH Speaks to Extension Depart ment Workers at Regular Monthly Luncheon. Prof. N. F. Bengstori of the geog raphy department spoke at the lun cheon of the workers in the Univer sity Extension Division held Tuesday noon at the Grand Hotel. The subject of Prof. Bengston's speech was, "Geography as a College Subject" "Dean Davis of Harvard was the first man in the Unite J States to introduce the idea of geog raphy as a college subject," said Pro fessor Bengston in outlining the his tory of the introduction of geography in American colleges and universi ties. He brought out the idea further that as yet American universities had not developed the subject to the de gree foreign universities had. This point was illustrated by the examina tion of the credits of students coming from foreign universities. A Rus sian student coming to America had twelve credits in United States ge ography. He could not speak Eng lish but he knew enough about Unit ed States geography to teach it in any university. Director A. A. Reed of the Univer sity Extension Division presided at the luncheon. The next luncheon will be held the first week in April. health because their physical condi- tion has such a decided effect on the effectiveness of their study hours. It was also discovered that thc"A" class had several better study habits than the other groups. It was said that many of these better study hab- its could be learned by the others without much effort. Some of these better study habits are: A review of the work every two weeks or so; efficient interpretation of the chap ter headings in the text books; bet ter ways of gathering data for re ports; and neater and more organiz ed methods of taking notes. Further inquiry into the custom ary study habits of students is con templated by the department, in the interests of better studying by the student body. A brief handbook may be published next year giving the students the benefit of this re search work. Sophomore Meeting Called For Today There will be a meeting of the Sophomore class at 11 o'clock this morning in Social Sci ence 302. All persons who do not have classes are asked to attend. WRESTLERS LEAVE FROM OKLAHOMA Six Grapplers from Southern Universiyt Start for Lin coln This Noon. (Special to The Daily Nebraskan) NORMAN, Okla., March 10. Six Oklahoma wrestlers leave Norman Wednesday noon to compete in the Missouri Valley tournament. Cap tain E. E. Schwien, coach, is in charge of the team. Sooner entries in the meet are Bond, 115-pounds; Landon, 125-pounds; McElyea, 135 pounds; Daubert, 145-pounds; Boothe, 158-pounds; and Cooke, 175 pounds. Oklahoma is pinning her hopes for victory on Landon,.- Daubert and Cooke. CaDtain- Daubert has not lost a match this year, garnering three falls and one decision for the season. Cooke has won two falls but because of injuries has been out of the last two matches for the Sooners. He has been moved up from the 158 pound class to the 175-pound class for the Valley meet. Landon has also won two falls during the year. The Sooners have won and lost two matches this year. They defeat ed Southwestern State Teachers Col lege, 19 to 6, and the University of Missouri, 16 to 2, and lost to Indiana University, 18 to 5, and to Oklahoma A. and M., 18 to 5. WOOD WINS PRIZE IN ESSAY CONTEST Production Is Judged Better Than Those of Illinois University Professors. His essay judged better than those of college professors and politicians, Raymond D. Wood, '24, University of Nebraska, was awarded a second prize of $100 in an essay contest sponsored by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations on "The Signifi cance to America of the Geneva Pro tocol." Every citizen in Illinois was eligi ble to enter the contest, but second honors were carried off by a very young man who had recently gradu ated from a university in another state. Mr. Wood was senior assistant in geography previous to his gradua tion from the University of Nebraska at mid-year in 1924. He has since been a graduate student at North western University, Evanston, Ill inois. The Geneva Protocol, sponsored by the League of Nations, represents a movement toward international agreement upon disarmament. The United States' non-participation in the League has perhaps given the movement less publicity in this coun try than it would otherwise have re ceived. The depth of the subject may perhaps be indicated by the fact that the winner of first prize in the contest was Quincy Wright, profes sor of international law at the Uni versity of Chicago, while honorable mention, corresponding to third prize, was awarded to Professor James W. Garner of the University of Illinois. If the present plans work out the University of Oregon will have the honor of participating in the second radio debate in history, so far as is known, where two troadcasting sta tions are used and the teams are hun dreds of miles apart.
