Defence While Jayhawkers
Have Strongest Offense
The University of Kansas Jay
hawks and the University of Nebras
ka Cornhuskers will meet Saturday
night in the first basketball game to
be played in the new field house.
This court classic will mark the first
meeting of these two powerful teams
this year.
A floor has been laid in the field
house which is as nearly a regulation
tK as possible. The seating capac
ity will be five thousand and no seats
will be reserved, although a section
will be set aside for university stu
dents and professors.
Entrance to the Field House will
be made from the south. Spectators
may reach the entrance by going on
.Fourteenth street to Vine, where
temporary walks have been con
structed that will lead to the door.
The game which starts at 7:30
o'clock will be perhaps the best to
be seen on the Nebraska court this
year. Kansas comes to Lincoln with
a veteran team composed of seven
lettermen from last year's champ
ionship quintet. The Jayhawks re
cord this year is seven games won
and two lost. The two loses being
inflicted by Washington and Okla
homa. Nebraska, although slow to start,
has been going at a fast clip the past
two weeks and as a result is tied for
first place in the conference with
Oklahoma.
Each team has played the Iowa
members of the Conference at prac
tically the same time, the Jayhawkers
playing them first, Nebraska second,
and each won all the games. Rela
tive ability may be found by com
paring the scores of the two teams
as against the same teams. This
comparison shows that the Kansas
team has displayed the greater of
fensive ability, while the defensive
play goes to the University of Ne
braska. The figures show that the Jay
hawk team was able to score 107
points or an average of almost 36
points a game; while the Ncbras
kans were able to score but 89 points
or an average of 29 points. In oth
er words on the offense, Kansas is
almost rpven points stronger than
Nebraska.
On the defense, opposing teams
were able to score a total of C4
points or an average of 21 points a
fame, while against Nebraska, 61
points were scored, or only 17 a
ramc, showing that on the defense,
Nebraska in about four points strong

fames have been played, 27 have
been won by Kansas, and Nebraska
has won the other 19. Kansas has

Former Nebraska
Urange Uver-rated
A Dozen Men Better than Famous
Red-Head, Declares Ex-fCornhut-ker,
Now One of Country' Great
est Professional Player
."Red Grange is an over-rated
football player, in my estimation,"
declared Guy Chamberlain, '16, fa
mous Nebraska all-American end,
and recognized as one of the greatest
open-field runners in footbajl his
tory. "I have played against Grange,
and watched his work during his ca
reer at the University of Illinois.
There are a dozen men I consider
better football players and this year
Wilson of Washington is his equal,"
Chamberlain told a Daily Nebraskan
reporter.
"Do I think that Grange ha3 earn
ed the small fortune he is credited
with? Well Jack Dempsey gets
$600,000 for a single fight, and that
is the same question. If Grange
earned all that he has made, lots of
others in the professional football
field are sadly underpaid, and I have
been playing for practically noth
ing." Chamberlain received a A. B. de
gree in 1916, playing on the Husker
team in '14 and '15. He is six feet
tall, weighs nearly 200 pounds, and
was a ten second man at that time;
unusual qualities even in an athlete.
Although he has played for more
than nine years he had never been on
a team that lost a game until last
fall. During their 1925 season, the
Philadelphia Sky Rockets, the team
which he coached and played on, lost
four and won twenty games in an
overburdened schedule.
"Judging from the completely fill
ed stadiums at college games, it is
folly to think that professional foot-
bal will ever hurt them. The two
gnrnp nre completely different. The
big secret is to make the men forget,
about the money they are making out
of the game. A successful coach
can do this."
"When four of my 200 pound
huskies came into their locker rooms
and sat for thirty minutes with their
heads in their hands crying, you can
see that money is not the only idea
of the game. This was the case in
one of my defeats Inst season."
"Most players usually stay with
the game only a year or two," de
clared the professional coach, who
has studied this new type of football
player. "Many of them are striving
to pay a debt contracted in gaining
their education at college. After
that they leave and enter the busi
ness world."

Freshman Bible Study Group Takes
Place of Old Freshman Commission
Fifty freshman and sophomore
Y. W. C. A. members sat down at the
long green and white tables in the
Faculty room of the Temple last
night nt six o'clock. It was the old
freshman commission and the new
freshman study group meeting to
gether for dinner and to meet each
other and exchange ideas.
A freshman training group is
formed each year of freshman wo
men interested in the Y. W. C. A.
work. Until this year the members
of the group have been elected, but
this method seems unsatisfactory in
that it included too few and too
many; too few because the most
valuable were often overlooked and
too many In that it incl'.Jed some
who sought it only as an honor. It
has become apparen the greatest
weakness in the training of univer
sity Y. W. C. A. women has been
a lack of comprehensive Bible study,
so at the ' beginning of Irn school
year a freshman Bible study group
was formed. The thirty-four who
remained in the group now form the
new freshman 3tudy group and the
group is closed.

Former Provost Had Break

Death Unexpected
TAUGHT HERE SINCE 1891
Was Onetime Head of Greek Depart
ment and Member of Ath
letic Board
Dr. James T. Lees, a member of
the faculty of the University of Ne
braska, died at Coronada, Cal., Wed
nesday, after four years of suffer
ing with a serious breakdown while
he was still connected with this Uni
versity. A wire received in Lincoln
indicated that his death was entirely
unexpected.
Dr. Lees was born in Middleton,
Lancashire, England, on August 17,
1859. He came to America when he
was eleven years ' of age and was
educated at Adelbert College at
Cleveland, O. After receiving his
master's degree at John Hopkins in,
1889, he came west and in 1891 was
made head of the department of
Greek at the University of Nebraska,
a position he held until he was made
provost in 1919.
Thirty Years a Teacher
The May number of the Alumni
Journal, 1919, said of the appoint
ment: "Dr. James T. Lees, who has just
rounded out thirty years of teaching,
was appointed provost of the Uni
versity in the reorganization that the
Board of Regents have inaugurated.
Dr. Lees' duties will be that of teach
ing auditor. He will be a member
of all faculties and of all courses of
study.
"Dr. Lees came to the University
in 1889 from John Hopkins univer
sity where he had just received his
Ph. D. He is a graduate of Western
Reserve and also spent the summer
of 1888 in the University of Berlin
finishing up his thesis. The first
'two years nt Nebraska he was prin
cipal of tho Latin school and associ
ate professor of classical philology."
Before he had progressed far with
his newly created position, Dr. Leer
was possessed -with a peculiar mnl
ady which forced a partial retirement
for four years. He taught during
the first semester a year ago but he
could not continue.
The 1920 Cornhusker, which was
dedicated to Dr. Lees, says of him:
"To Doctor J. T. Lees, who for
thirty years has devoted himself to
the making of a Greater University
and who, during that time, has been
a true and respected friend of every
student, this book is respectfully
dedicated."
Was Prominent Figure
Dr. Lees was very prominent in
activities outside his teaching. He
was, for many years, a member of
the athletic board of the university.
He had spent his summers for many
years conducting parties of tourists
to Europe and he became very well
known in that field. He also lec
tured widely on the passion play and
other art rejects through which
field he became famous.
Besides beincr a department head
nt the university, ho was also nt one
time dean. He was also a member
of many regular nnd special com
mittees and had a great part in shap
ing the policies of the institution.
Dr. I.oes made a grout many
friends during the thirty yenrs thnt
he was connected with the university.
Many of these have preceeded him
to the grave bu: those that are left
will certainly mourn his death.
Y. W. C. A., spoke on "Our Con
ceptions of the Kingdom of Heaven."
"We spend so much time on the lit
tle things of life," she said, "that we
haven't much time left for the im
portant ones. I hope that you will
find something in life which is big
enough and spend the rest of . your
school career working towards it."
Mary Kinney and Caroline Buck
welcomed the freshmen women into
their work and spoke on what the
freshman group had meant and could
mean. "Of your own volition -you
have joined this group," said Misr
Bu.k. "You have stated your
ideals and purposes, now you may
bring these before others, leading
them to faith in God through Jesus
Christ."
Presiding was Marguerite Forsell
who has been a leader of Freshman
Commission this year. Martha Far

reading. Marion Eimers was in
charge of the music for the dinner.
Margaret Walker was general chair
