ENGINEERS SEE
FILM OH. POWER
Depicts Progress that Man Has Made
In Procuring the Energy
' v From -Steam ,
The progress man has made in the
development of power from steam
was depicted in the film entitled
"Power", which was shown by the
American Society of Civil Engineers
in Nebraska Hall, Friday morning.
The picture was obtained through the
courtesy of Stone & Webster, Inc.,
of Boston.
Only a hundred and fifty years
ago, power as we know it was un
known. Watt pointed the way with
the iirst steam pumping engine, and
there folowed the first industrial
Evolution. Further developments in
the mechanisms, led to the second in
dustrial revolution, and finally to the
man-els of electricity of the present
day.
The pc-neration of electricity was
shown in the film, beginning with
the experiments that were made by
Faraday. How water power is used
was explained, together with the
power made possible with a small
stream falling a long 'distance, as
Big Creek, which falls 2062 feet, or
a large body of water falling only
40 feet as is the case of the Mississ
ippi river at Keokuk, Iowa.
The methods used in making the
electric light bulbs were pictured,
nd the improvements made in them
o that one bulb now gives eighty
times n much light as it did In 1895.
The fiim concluded with the de
piction of the various improvements
hi the machinery used in the devel
opment of power and of the con
struction of the Weymouth plant for
" Edison company.

Of American
That American poetry, born by

University of Illirois auditorium at
Urbana recently.
After having previously given the
two fields a "worms-eye view" the
New York anthologist announced his

William Butler Yats, credited
with being a leader ' in the Celtic
Renaissance); Rudyari Kipling and
Gilbert Chesterton, classed together

HIGHEST SCORE
Thirteen Men's Teams Defeat
ed in Rifle Tournament
Held Last Week
FINAL RATING OF 925
Who said women can't shoot?
A woman's rifle team defeated
thirteen men's teams in the annual
interfraternity and newly started
non-fraternity tournaments which
were held last week in the University
gallery.
The five women made a team score
of 925 as compared with 915 made
by the best non-fraternity team, and
910 by the winner of the fraternity
tourney. And the shooting was not
in the easy positions of tournament
shooting. The women fired in all
four standard positions of tourna
ment shooting. Their standing
scores, the most difficult of any,
were as good as the men's.
Mu Sigma fraternity repeated last
year's performance by winning the
fraternity tournament. Pi .Kappa
Alpha was second with a team score
of 884. Eleven fraternities fired.
Four were disqualified when their
last man to fire reported to the gal
lery after the deadline hour.
Shafer Is High Scorer
The two teams entered in the non
fraternity tournament made an en
viable record. The winner scored
f ive points more than the champion
of the fraternity tournament, and the
second team mie nine more than
the second fraternity team. Shafer!
on the winninsf team "made the high
score of the tournament, 193..
The five womei on the lone wo
menfe team of the tournament were:
Ethelyn Colwell. who scored 182;
Helen Sehrader, who fired 14; Hel
en Moorhead, 183; Katherine Jensen,
190; and Estey Cox, 186.
Members of the Mu Sigma team
were Madsen, 183; Dwyer, 187; Wa

students particularly qualified to do
the work wanted. We believe that
this has led to increasingly better
results."
Mr. Trumbull also states that a
larger percentage of the students
seeking work have had more actual
experience than in former years.
This sometimes results from the ne
cessity to work while in high school.
The training gained in . that way
proves of great value in earning ex
penses at college. Such persons are
much better prepared to face the
stiff competition offered by older
men with more experience.
"Oar problem is primarily to help
the younger men who must work all
or part of their way through school,"
the secretary declares, "for they
often come as strangers unaccustom
ed to their new environment. We
urge that they make a special effort
to equip themselves with as much ex
perience as possible before coming to
the University."
HUSKER TEAM
WINS SECOND
VALLEY GAME
Iowa State Quintet la Defeated
By Nebraska Before 2,000
Spectators
FINAL SCORE IS 13 TO 18
Defensive Play by Cornhusker Cage
sters Is Responsible for the
Victory
The Nebraska Cornhusker basket
ball quintet continued on its march
for Valley honors by outscoring
Iowa State 18 to 13, in a hard fought
and exciting game Saturday night.
Two thousand fans packed the Ar
mory and saw the Huskers come
through with their second conference
win in as many starts.
Jumping into the lead when Elliott
made a gift toss early in the game,
the Nebraska five was never headed.
Half time found Nebraska with all
to 6 advantage and although Ames
men scored on even terms with the
Huskers during the second period
they could not overcome the five
point handicap.
Excellent Defense
Although the Husker offense was
working in a fairly smooth fashion,
it was the defensive playing of the
entire team that was responsible for
the victory. The Ames forwards
were smothered every time they at
tempted to shoot and were somewhat
lucky in gathering two of the five
baskets allotted them.
Vint Lawson was again the big
noise of the Nebraska defense. Pitted
i against Earl Elliott, Ames ace and
second high point man in the confer
ence, he clearly demonstrated that
they didn't make them to fast for
him- When the game was over Elli
ott had tL? grand total of one point
to add to the thirty some odd points
he has made this season. So close
did Lawson cover his man that he
was indeed lucky to get a shot at the
basket
Smaha Is High Foint Man
Smaha continued to lead the Hus
kers in making points. He gather
ed three baskets and a free throw for
a total of seven points, which made
him high man for the game. Tom
Elliott, who started the game at cen-
ter, followed Smaha with five points
and Brown added four points by
.dropping in two pretty shots from
the side of the court
Kling, with three baskets, was high
point man of the Iowa team. He
got away fairly well at the start of
the game, but Brown put a stop to
his scoring before the second half
was far underway.
Fennema, who started the game
for Iowa State at center, was in
jured so badly in the first minute
of play that it was necessary to
carry him from the floor. His back
was sprained when he and Lawson
went into the crowd after the ball.
Elliott Starts Scoring
Tom Elliott, Nebraska center, op
ened the scoring of the evening with
a free throw. Smaha sank two bas
kets in rapid succession and the Hus-
