HUSKER QUII1T
MEETS TIGERS
ON LAST TRIP
Will Play Missouri Tonight
And at Washington Uni
versity Saturday
SQUAD IS IN GOOD SHAPE
Brt Men O-t Wk cf Stiff
DriH Her Expect Hard Came
Thi. Wk-End
The Husker basketball squad,
headed by Coach Ernest Bearg, is
off on its last trip of the 1826 sea
son. Tonight the. team will meet
the Missouri Tigers in their lair at
Columbus, and Saturday the Squad
will continue on their journey to St.
Louis where the Washington Bears
will be met.
The Nebraska five has played
both of these teams this season, hav
ing lost to Missouri and turned in a
victory over Washington. Coach
Bearg's men should find tough sled
ding in both cities and the Huskers
must play a fast brand of ball if
they are to return victorious.
Missuori perhaps offers the stif
fest competition. After getting off
to a poor start in the Valley race,
the Tigers have found themselves
and are now playing a neat brand of
hall. This was quite evident to Ne
braska fans in the Missouri game
here. After trailing the Huskers the
major portion of the second period,
the Tigers got enough baskets in the
final minutes to give them a win.
Washington on its own floor is
always a threat. Although the Bears
succumbed on the Lincoln floor it
was only after a hard struggle and
it must be remembered that Wash
ington is the team that has victories
over both Oklahoma and Kansas.
The Huskers left Lincoln in good
physical shape, the .entire squad
rounding out a week of stiff practice
in nice style. These two games close
the Nebraska season.

The record total exceeds any of
the early estimates made by optimis

The Grace Coppock campaign was
one hundred dollars nearer the goal
set at $1700. as reported at the
luncheon for the team members and
team captains Thursday noon at
Ellen Smith Hall. The total amount
taken so far is $425.50. Several
team captains and members of the
Grace Coppock staff admitted that
they were disappointed as the drive
progressed slowly, but expressed a
belief that on the third day the drive
would gather momentum and make
up for lost time.
Wilhelmina Schellak is captaining
the leading team with $51.00 to her
credit. Ruth Barker heads the sec
ond team which has turned in $33.00
to date, while Elva Erickson's team
has shown a total of $31.75. Each
team captain is responsible for a
hundred dollars of the sum set as a
goal, and although work for the
Grace Coppock fund will be carried
over to next week, all money to
count on the drive must be turned
in by 6 o'clock Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Hinman Speaks
Mrs. E. L. Hinman, who knew
Grace Coppock well during the years
she spent at the University of Ne-
braska, spoke to the campaign work
ers at the luncheon at Ellen Smith
HalL These luncheons are given
dailv to encouraee the team mem-
bers and also to give the workers
an opportunity to turn in money.
Wilhelmina Schellak led devotionals.
"The University of Nebraska has
held a splendid record in the work
! of the Grace Coppock memorial, so
far," declared Mrs. Hinman vho
spoke on her remembrances of Miss
Coppock on the campus of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Mrs. Hinman
characterized Miss Coppock as one
who "always had her feet on the
ground" in spite of the fact that she
was quite idealistic. '"Grace knew
how to rouse girls to their full capa
city for real things," said Mrs. Hin
man. ""I wish that you all feel this
message for worthwhile things, and
I wish that you could get it through
this campaign."
Grace Coppock was graduated
from Nebraska in 1905, and went
to China soon after her graduation.
She became national secretary of
the Y. W. C A. in China, and died
there in 1921. The memorial fund
which the women of Nebraska sent
each year to China goes to a work
in which Miss Coppock was greatly
interested, the physical -education
of Chinese women. Miss Vera Bar
ger who visited Nebraska last month
on her way back to China, is the
national physical education director
of the Y. W. C A. and uses the
money sent her by the University of
Nebraska to promote physical educa
tion programs all over China.
Kingsley Chen, a Chinese student,
will be the speaker at the last lunch
eon, Friday noon in Ellen Smith Hall.
Elsie Gramlich will lead devotionals.
All team members should attend this
luncheon so that .an accurate check
may be made of the campaign
money.

AVERY LECTURES
ON LEGISLATION
Chancellor Says He is Not in
Favor of Legislation
Fixed Curricula
TALKS TO ORGANIZATION
"Legislation compelling a certain
fixed curriculum and legislation for
bidding certain things is along the
line f limiting our freedom of
thought as individuals, institutions
and communities. It should be ex
ercised sparingly," declared Chan
cellor Samuel Avery in a talk on
"Legislation on Curricula" before
the meeting of the Horace Mann
club last evening at the City Y. M.
C. A.
The Chancellor explained that be
was not arguing against the imposi
tion of a certain fixed currkulumT.
"
on bt rather from outside legis-
r r u T .
lation. He pointed out the result
of giving the central government a
chance to say what should be taught.
"It is a question which should be
Ieft to each school and each locality
to work out, he continued, some
will work it out wrong but it is
better it seems to me to have the
curricula expanded within.
"Everybody must, if he is going
to reach his full mental develop
ment, be intellectually free.
Americans Have Taken Lead
"Generafly speaking," Chancellor
Avery cited, "America has taken the
lead in the free public school system
of the world. I think it is also true
that the general genius, so to speak,
of the schools in America has been
local initiative, under guidance, of
course stimulated by bulletins from
Washington, etc." He compared cur
system with the system f Latin
America where a highly centralized
ministry of education is trying to
impose education on the ouiUJ-ing
provinces. The people of these pro
vinces resist this educational prog
ress. It is being imposed from a
central authority and not from the
initiative of the people.
The Chancellor discussed several
spicific attempts of legislation in
curriculum and commented upon the
subject in general, "I would oppose
restrictive legislation either way. I
want the individuals to be just as
free as they can. That is, as free
as we can without interfering in
thought and that does not mean un
limited freedom of propaganda or
a license to teach something against
the existing order. Everybody must
if he is going to reach his full mental
development be intellectually free." 1 in the TemPle Theater. There

William Speich, president of the
Horace Mann Club presided at the
meeting. At the clos of the Chan
cellor's talk the meeting was thrown

subject.

PART IN Y. D.
C. A. CAMPAIGN
Organization Unable to Give
Report of Success of
One-Night Drive
MANY MEN FAIL TO WORK
Others Tnrn in Amonnt Varying
From Fifteen to Twenty
Dollars
Failure of a large number of the
men working in the University Y. M.
C A.'s one evening finance cam
paign to report Thursday evening on
their success made it impossible to
make any accurate estimate at mid
night as to how near the 'V had
come to attaining the thousand dol
lar goal which had been set.
Many of the men who did report
turned in amounts ranging from
fifteen to twenty dollars. Others
did not do quite so well.
Between ninety and one hundred
men attended the banquet at the
Grand hotel with which the drive
opened. Gerald Davis, finance chair
man, and Prof. O. R. Martin, chair
man of the 'Y advisory board, made
short addresses explaining the neces
sity of the drive and plan on which
it was conducted. Ed Weir, who
was also to have spoken, was unable
to attend, due, it was said, to illness.
Decline to Make Estimate
'Y officers declined last night to
make any estimates as to what the
total amount raised will be, prefer
ring to await check before making
any statements.
The campaign, the second one f
the year, was deemed necessary be

held early in the school year. It
had been expected to secure at least
two thousand dollars from students
at that time, but only one-haif that
amount was secured. It was hoped
to secure the other thousand dollars
in the drive last night.
Professor Martin in his short
speech indicated that outside sup
port for the Y had been secured
with the understanding that the stu
dents "would do their share." A
deficit of about a thousand dollars,
it was pointed out, has been hanging
over the Y since last spring. Pro
vision for taking care of this was
made in the budget planned last
fall in which at least two thousand
dollars was counted on from the
students.
Just what the effect on the Y's
activities will be if the thousand
dollars was not raised in the cam
paign last night is not known. Cabi
net members indicated, however,
that it may mean a general curtail
ment of activities and that failure
of the students to "carry their share
of the burden" may mean the -withdrawal
of outside support.
