GRID PRACTICE STARTS MONDAY Husker Line Weakened by Loss Of Regulars, but Talent Among Freshmen EQUIPMENT READY NOW The equipment for spring football was ready to be checked out Mon day, and candidates will be able to get their suits and lockers the rest of this week. Practice will start on Monday, March 15 at 3:30. The Huskers line has been consid erably weakened by the loss of Weir, Hutchinson, Wostoupal and Dover. However, a good number of experi enced men are available from last years varsity squad, and seme good year's freshmen, who will be eligible for competition next. fall. Center Is Weakest The loss of two centers has left this position the weakest in the line. Some men may be shifted from other positions to fill this gap. Merle Suver is the only regular candidate for center that remains with the squad. There is an abundance of guards, though, among whom are Frank Pospisil, Clarence Raish, Wal ter Scholz. Roy Mandery, Robert Whitmore, Morrill Reller, Reuben Maaske. Carl Naffziger. and G. R. Fish. The tackles are not so numer ous, although many guards can play this position also. Captain-elect Alonzo Stiner, Cecil Molzen, and Walter Scholz have played this posi tion considerably. The ends are Leon Sprague, Joe Weir, Vinton Law son, and Dorsey Mclntyre. Freshmen Make Good Showing The freshman squad shows con siderable promise. Some of the men who are expected to make a good showing are: I Centers: Hague, Reeves, Holmes, i and Grow. I Guards: Krause, Sopher, Drath, j Gates, Wood, McMullen, and Still. - Tackles: Durisch, Lucas, Harbaugh, Hunt, and Cast Ends: Skinner, Higgins, and Krall. FARMER'S FAIR WORKERS MEET Committee Chairmen and Board Gather To Speed Plans Prof. C .W. Smith of the Agricul tural Engineering department will be the main speaker on the program at the meeting of committee chairmen and the Farmers' Fair Board, Tues day evening, in room 206 in the Home Economics building at 6 o' clock. The program will be short and snappy throughout, and it is hoped that every chairman of a committee will be present in order to get the work of the fair moving as rapidly as possible at this time. m I anncar: ana since geoiogmui reckon the rate at which the glaciers move, they can determine when the bodies will reappear. One case that wag mentioned was that of a party of eight all of whom fell into th fissure of a glacier in 1820, and whose bodies did not reappear until 1S61. after having moved 69,000 Vet. Find Animals in Ice "Various animals, particularly the wooly elephants, have been found preserved in blocks of ice," said the lecturer, "which gives an idea of the kind of animals which lived at the time that these glaciers, which made them prisoners, came down and en trapped them." The tinted slide, used to illustrate this lecture were particularly beau tiful and were very interesting in mnnection with the address. "The Salton Sea in the Desert of the Colorado? is the subject of the address which will be given by Frank Shoemaker, at the Museum, next Sunday afternoon, March 14, at three and at four o'clock. Frederick Collins will speak on "Half an Hour In Other People's Shoes," on March 21, and the last Sunday in the month, March 28, Marjorie Shar.ftfelt will speak on "Living Gold." PLAYERS NEXT PRODUCTION IS ASIATIC DRAMA 'He Who Gets Slapped" Begins Thursday Night; Plan Five Performances ADVANCE SALES HEAVY Andreyev Is Intellectual Skeptic, Trying to Understand Life; Play Very Intense The University Flayers will pre sent the four-act drama, "He Who Gets Slapped," by Leonid Andreyev, for five performances this week-end, March 11, 12, and 13, at the Temple theater. An extra matinee will be given Friday afternoon at 2:30 because of the heavy advance ticket sale. The play, in spite of its French setting, is Asiatic in its atmosphere, Asiatic in its plot, and in its attempt to peer in to the metaphysical myst eries. Andreyev's Work Symbolic The author of the play is a famous Russian playwright. John Macy, in his "Story of the World's Literature," says of Andreyev: Andreyev is known as an intel lectual skeptic, not fighting with life, but trying to understand it, and turn ing on it in the light of disillusion and doubt. His best stories, "The Seven That Were Hanged," and "The Red Laugh," are terrible in their in tensity and his plays, "The Life of Man," and "He Who Gets Slapped,' are pessimistic symbolism of a strain that is almost too sad even for Rus sia. It is said that the performance of "The Life of Man," in its sinister gloom caused many suicides among the students of Leningrad." Seats may be reserved at the R. P. Curtice Music store. The admission fee to the play will remain as usual, seventy-five cents for the evening, and fifty cents for the matinee. SOCIAL WORK IS TOPIC OF STUDY Prof. Cameron Observes Similar Problems in AH Northern Nebraska Counties, (University News Service) Similar social problems of health, dependency, delinquency, and recre ation were observed in practically all of the northern counties of Nebraska, through which Miss Anna M. Camer on, University of Nebraska Exten sion Division instructor m social work, made a three-week lecture and conference tour in February. In some counties one problem was more acute than another. Miss Cameron returned last week, and is now com piling a report of her investigations which will be broadcast March 9 and 19, and published later for general distribution. Sixteen counties in the sixth dis trict were surveyed on the tour which was made for the three-fold purpose of collecting information regarding general social conditions and the lo cal resources for handling the prob lems; of finding ways in which the University Extension Division, the State department of public welfare, the state conference of social work ers, and other agencies can direct lo cal efforts for more effective ser vice; and of organizing informal committees for the state bureau of child welfare. One of the most common problems is the boarding situation produced by the consolidated high schools in big counties where many of the students homes are as far as thirty and forty miles away. Unsupervised boarding conditions, Miss Cameron found, cre ated serious problems. The com munities are alive to the problem and are trying to solve it. At Bassett a county-owned dor mitory for twenty girls has been op erated for the past five years as an experiment. Supervise Case-Work Family case-work is being ade quately handled in Dodge cunty, where Miss Laura Rhone, former secretary of the Red Cross, has been engaged by the county supervisors to investigate thoroughly all families which receive aid from the county to find out if additional service can be rendered the destitute family which will help it get back on its feet . Miss Rhone is also adult probation officer so that practically all the so cial work of the county i. cleared through the same office in Fremoat. This centralization, Miss Cameron thinks, takes poor relief out of the realm of mere financial aid and en ables the worker to solve the family problems and families to aid them selves. In Iowa many counties have such full-time workers. Dodge coun ty is the only one in Nebraska. As is i.he case of the dormitcry at Bas sett, other counties feel the need of .he work but are not yet quite ready to undertake it University Art Club Presents Its Third Annual Exhibit in Library N Men and Helpers In Tourney Meet Tonight A meeting of all men helping with the High School Basketball Tournament will be held Tuesday evening, at 7:00 o'clock in the Armory. It is necessary that all scorers, timers, clerks, floor man agers, policemen, referees and um pires attend this meeting.

PUPILS COVER CAGE TOURNEY Preferences of Teams Are Due Today; List Bulletined Early Wednesday PREVIOUS WORK ON FILE Journalism students, members of the University's Correspondence Bu reau, who are preparing to cover the basketball tournament, are checking their assignments on three bulletins in U 105 and 105 A: (1) Roster of Students; (2) Towns, Newspapers, Classes, Copy Record; and (3) Sche dule of Game (time place, class.) Students who have not sent in their preference as to teams to cover were requested yesterday in a bulletin from Prof. M. M. Fogg, to do so to day. The complete assignment list will be bulletined by Wednesday morning. Referred To Files To the file (in the Journalism Readir.g-Room, U 105) of stories clipped from some twenty-five of the i newspapers that published stories on the 1925 tournament, correspondents this year are referred. The file of copy (U 105 A) sent on the 1925 tournament by Journal ism students shows that most work was done by the following: W. F. Jones, '27, McCook, 12,150 words; Robert Lasch, '27, Kansas City, 4,100; John Boyer, '27, Pawnee City, 2,250; Norma Carpenter, '26, Lincoln, 1,800; Helen Simpson, '27 Casper, Wyo., 1,800; Gecrge H.

Child Tells How Father Killed Boa Constrictor to Another coincidence in the history of the great tree boa constrictor, dis played at the head of the stairway on the fourth floor of the Museum, occurred last Friday afternoon, March 5, according to Frederick Col lins, assistant curator at the Museum. When Mr. Collins asked a large party of school children who were visiting the museum that afternoon, if any of them knew the story about that boa constrictor, one of the small boys told the story in an unusually authoritative manner, which was explained when he said, "And then my father stepped into the cage and strangled the snake." Mr. Collins thinks it was a real coincidence that the son of the man who killed this boa constrictor, and from whom the museum purchased it, should chance to be in this party of children whom he asked about the snake. Label Tells Story There is a unique label on the All Displayed Work Shows Wider Variety of Talent; Alumni and Active Members of Organization Represented in Collection The third annual exhibit of the Art Club of the University of Nebraska is being given this week at the Art Gallery, on the second floor of the Library. The exhibition will last until March 14. . The works displayed, which were all done by active or alumni mem bers -of the University Art Club, shows a wider variety of talent than previous exhibits. There are ex- i. - r :m t . : 1 , ! ,. , , . . . . , termirs. applied design, interior de - corating, composition, china painting, modelling, craftswork, and photo- graphs, done in charcoal, pen and ink, water colors, and oil. The sixty active members of the Art Club are all represented in the colection. Since its purpose is mere ly to display the talent of the stu dents, there are no prizes offered for the best exhibits. The Art Club is an honorary or ganization for students in the Fine Arts College. Membership is based on scholastic standing and the votes of the active members. The purpose of the club is to further work in Fine Arts in the University. TEAM FOR VALLEY MEET HOT PICKED Results of Try-Outs Not Up to the Usual Standard, Due to Wet Track Coach Schulte has not picked the team that will represent Nebraska at the Missouri Valley indoor meet to be held at Ames March 12 and 13. but should make his choice early this week based upon the try-outs held last Thursday. The results of the try-outs did not come up to the usual performances of the team but may have been due to the wet track. This was especially true in the distance runs. Nebraska's chances of again win ning the indoor meet are as bright as any other school in the valley and much brighter than some of them. Missouri, winner of the outdoor title, will present a well balanced team while Kansas and Ames will be very str in t)ie distance runs. Nebras- ka should capture the dashes and place well to the front in the other events. The high jump is the Hus kers weakness and it is a hard one to cover up. The team is in the very best of shape and strengthened by the return of Ed Weir, who has been sick for the past two weeks. The new mem bers of the team, Wyatt, Davenport, Searls, and Johnson, have been per forming in excellent style this year, and are another reason for Nebraska placing in the foreground at the meet. ; CLUB GIVES "ORPHEUM" ACTS Program Incl udes PUy, Chalk Talk, and Musical Numbers The Young People's Club at the First Plymouth Congregational Church, 17th and A, will present an "Orphium" Wednesday evening, March 10, at 7:30. The program will include a one act play by the University Players, a skit "Columb," cartoons and chalk talk by Oz Black, orchestra music under the direction of Fred Cardin. of the University School of Music, travel pictures by Walter Kiener, Swiss mountain climber and a min strel show. Save Trainer s Life case which contains this boa constric tor, consisting of a true story about it, written by Mr. Collins, and print ed in the Lincoln State Journal. Briefly, it is this: In September 1012, at the State Fair, in a side show the snake charmer was winding about her body this boa constrictor which was about thirteen feet in length. Herbert Holmes, a former English soldier who had fought in India and Africa, but now living in Lincoln, was in the audience and he saw that the snake was slowly kill ing the snake charmer. He finally convinced the stage managers that he could save the girl, having been taught as a young recruit how to strangle boa constrictors, which be did successfully, when he was per mitted to enter the cage. Mr. Holmes was given the boa constrictor, which the museum bought from him. Many years later, after Mr. Collins, came to the museum a few years ago, the museum again heard from Herbert Holmes who came to the museum and then told Mr. Collin, a true story of the event ENTERTAINMENT FOR CAGE HEN WELL PLANNED University Organizations Will Take Charge of Visitors Here for Tourney MEET CAGERS AT TRAINS Officials Assigned for Tournament Duty with Alternates; Begin Playing Thursday University organizations are all set to entertain the several thousand 'prospective Huskers who will be here ;' ' . . . v... for the sixteenth annual State Bas ketball Tournament, which gets into motion Thursday morning.
