In speaking to the workers at the
meeting last night Arthur Jorgensen,
general secretary of the "Y," point
ed out that increased subscriptions
from the Lincoln Community Chest
and from Nebraska alumni were se
cured on the strength of the belief
that University of Nebraska men
would support their own organiza
tioa at least to the extent of $2,000.
At the University of Kansas, a
such smaller school than Nebraska,
more than $3,000 was raised for the
Y. M. C A in a short time. Other
schools have very much larger bud
rets. That workers tafie time to really
erplain the work that the Y.M.C.A.

President of the association, Hugh
Cox.
Formal organization of the cam
paign machinery was completed by
Jndd Davis, finance chairman, at the

Laboratory Classes To
Move Into Nebraska
Hall In Short Time
The work of remodeling and re
inforcing Nebraska Hall has been go
ing on rapidly and some of the labor
atory classes are now ready to move
back to the building. The rooms oc
cupied by the military department
are oeing entirely renovated and will
iuuauiy ue reaay tor occupancy
some time next week.
Nebraska Hall is the second oldest
building on the campus and recently
was condemned because of a faulty
roof that was causing the walls to
spread. The entire third storv of
the building has been removed and
the rest of the building strengthen
ed, making the structure good for a
few more years.
PLAN CHANGE IN
HARWER LINEUP
Jack Ros May Run in Place of
Lawson, Star of Previous
Races
MEET DRAKE SATURDAY
The Husker cross country team,
three times winners in dual meets
this fall will enter the meet with
Drake on the Efes Moines course
Saturday with a probable change in
the lineup. Lawson, Scarlet and
Cream star of previous races was
decidedly off form against Oklahoma
and Coach Schulte may not run him
in this week. A check up on the time
for the race Saturday shows that
the Oklahoma leaders of the race
Saturday ran the 5-mile distance in
26 minutes 41 seconds instead of 27
minutes 41 seconds as was previously
reported.
Jack Ross, winner of the time
trials Monday evening, will probably
run in the place of Lawson Satur
day. Ross was one of the best run
ners on the squad last year but has
been handicapped with an infected
tooth this fall which did not permit
him to run up to usual form. Ross
fcompleted the course in 28 minutes
45 seconds last evening. McCartney
gave Ross a good run, leading until
the last quarter mile when Ross
came through with a good sprint and
won easily.
A request has been made to the
Husker athletic management asking
that Nebraska allow Iowa State
college to run in the meet with
Drake, making it a triangular race.
The Husker authorities are willing
to do this and the possibilities are
that Nebraska will be matched with
the two schools Saturday.
Mako Correction ia Scoring
Contrary to reports due to a mis
take in the scoring, the Husker run
ners defeated Oklahoma 30-27. Law
son, sixth Husker to finish was ahead
of tbe ninth Oklahoma runner.
Though his score does not count for
Nebraska his placing raises the
Sooner score, making the last two
runners for that school finish tenth
and eleventh instead of ninth and
tenth.
Drake has experience two defeats
this fall at the bands of Oklahoma
and Ames, but there is a possibility i
that they might score ahead of Ne-!0f
braska depending on the power of
the Iowa State team. Conger and
Drew are both fast men. Conge- be
ing of tbe quality f the two Okla-
"homer runners here Saturday. On
the Drake team, Wahl is their best
runner. These three men and others
will be giving tbe Husker harriers
plenty of trouble in keeping a clean j
slate.

"Hell Bent For Heaven," Hatcher
Hughes' Pulitzer prize drama, is to

and 14.
The leading role is to be taken by
Herbert Yenne, who plays the religi
ous fanatic Other parts are played
by Ray Ramsay, Harold Felton, Har
old Sumption and Ruth Schrank.
"Hell Bent For Heaven" is a tale
of hills such as Kipling might have
vritten had his impressionable years
been spent in tbe Blue Mountains
ather than in an army camp in India,
tt is good, old-fashioned melodrama
of tbe Blue Ridge Mountains, filled
ith interest.
That the play ranks up well among
the best of American plays is evi
denced by the fact that Benjamin Le
Casserer, dramatic critic, says that
''as an all-around comedy, drama,
melodrama, thriller, profound psy
chological study and human interest
transpscription of real life, it would
be bard to beat "Hell Bent For Hea
ven" in any season."

In Missouri
Dickinson Rating
Missouri Valley teams rate this week
in the order given above. Of course
future games will decide definitely
where each team stands.
The Dickinson system, originated
by Prof. Frank G. Dickinson, of the
University of Illinois, departs from
the usual custom o. deciding cham
pionships by percentages and uses
an index number determined in tbe
following manner: All teams who
have to date won more games than
they have lost are termed first di
vision teams. The other teams be
long in tbe second division (to date
only).
From there the process goes some
thing like this: when a first division
team loses to a first division team it
receives a certain number of points;
but if it loses to a second division
team (one which is rated a weaker
than tbe first division teanr by virtue
of tbe percentages), it geU only two
thirds as many points as in the first
instance.
In this manner, arranged to giv
an accurate number of point to each
different "type" of victory or defeat,
