'No games scheduled 'for Wednes- The Came Three very uneven contests and one in which the result was doubtful featured the interfraternity basket baH games last evening. Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa, and Sigma Nuall ran up buge scores on their oppon ents. The Delta Upsilon-Phi Kappa Psi game was a little more contested but the D. U.'s emerged victor. Delta Theta Fhi could not do much to stop the onrush of Phi Delta Theta with Lindell as their main threat. They could not do much in the score column cither. The first half ended without a counter for ' Delta Theta Phi and twenty-five for their opponents. Lindell scored twenty-two of the thirty-five points made by his team. Teale was the only Delta Theta Phi man who could hit the hoop from the floor. Hull caged to gift shots for the other two points. Firit Defeat Delta Upsilon gave Phi Kappa Psi its first defeat. They were in the lead throughout the game and while not by many points, the guards al ways kept the ball out of danger. Kelley was the best man for the D. C.'s. The Phi Fsia ha1! quite a num ber of shots but lacked accuracy. They did not circulate around under the basket as well as their conquer ors and could not work up for close shots. Reeves played a nice game for Phi Karma Psi. Besides spoiling many plays at guard, he snared the three ' field goals that his team made. Near the end of the tilt. Swenson. Phi Kappa Psi, took offense at the man-; ner in which Wostoupal was guard-: big him. A fistic encounter ensued, j but did not last long. Both men re- j mainea in iie game.

DOUGLAS MYERS IS FOUND DEAD Well-Known Husker Athlete Asphyxiated Sunday in New Orleans, La. FUNERAL IN BEATRICE Word was received Sunday morn ing of the death of Douglas Myers, former student of the university. He was as phyxiated Sun lay while tt sleep in a o a r d i n g house at New Orleans, La. Myers was as sistant coach at Loyala Uni versity. The details of his death are not aeii- nitely known, but it is believed that when he re tired for the night he turned off the gas heater in his room. It is believed that instead of turning off the gas at the wall cut-off, he turned it off at the stove. In some manner this connection broke while he was asleep. Myers evidently had awaken ed and had made an effort to reach fresh air as his body was found on the floor near the door. He was dis covered Sunday morning by students of the university who made desperate efforts to revive him. Spectacular Athlete Myers, while in Beatrice high school, was one of the most spec tacular athletes in the state. He was captain of the Beatrice football team in 1920, the year of his graduation. He attended De Pauw two years. He came to Nebraska in January 1923, and played end and fullback on the Nebraska teams of 1923 and 1924. He also made his letter in track in 1923 and 1924. He received honor able mention on all-american foot ball teams. Myers was freshman football coach in 1925, also assistant trainer under Doctor McClean. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Myers of Ellis, Nebr. He was engaged to be married within six months, to Miss Florence Sturdevant. He is survived by one sister. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta frater nity. The funeral will be held at Bea trice, Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Methodist church. Members of the Delta Tau Delta fra ternity will attend and will act as pall bearers. Members of the N club and coaches are also planning to attend.

Professor Blair discou-.t-d the pre- A,rtinnm at so-call.-d "weather p-o- rhets" who have declared that 1J27 will be a year withot'5 a summer; that the months of June, July and August will beun.r.uail chilly.

BEARG ATTACKS COMMERCIALISM Hutker Coach Say Small Eastern College Only One Paying Salaries to Athlete College football, except in some small eastern schools, is not ii fused with commercialism, as implied in a newspaper article written by an east ern sports writer, declared Coach E. E. Bearg last Sunday in a talk on "Sportsmanship and Athletics," giv en before the Sunday Morning Breakfast Club at the City Y. M. ;C. A. Upholding the onor of athletics at Nebraska anJ ..her middle-western schools, the coach denied that offers of money were made to high school athletic stars to secure them for the football teams of these schools. At several small eastern col leges bids are admittedly made for football players, because of the scar city of material available to the large number of colleges, and such prac tices are hardly condemned, accord ing to the Husker coach, but where ' r 1 - 1 t J 1 coniereiicea nave vtrcu luimtru ujcae conditions have largely disappeared. Tribute to Football Coach Bearg paid a tribute to the character of the football coaches and athletic authorities in this section of the country, asserting that "the ath letic director in the Middle-West is a high type of man, with a sense of honor." As a result of the linking to gether of schools having similar in terests, the good moral character of such officials is demanded, and foot ball is being "cleaned up," with the over-emphasis Jn sports decreasing and scholastic standards for athletes being strictly enforced. Football fulfills many of the pro visions of the Bible, in that it teaches clean living, clean habits, and proper care of the body. It is a powerful builder of stamina, and often brings out characteristics which might otherwise remain hidden, the Ne braska coach declared. "We have no more frontiers to conquer. If we are to have a rugged, sturdy, red- blooded type of men, we must have football." In conclusion, he !iuded the mem bers of the 192G team for their sportsmanship and character. " I 4 . .I.

CRAWFORD IS ' ENGAGED FOR ANNUAL BALL Noted Orchestra Booked for Pan-Hellenic Formal On February 5 300 TICKETS ON SALE Charge is $4; Distributed To Fraternity Houses This Week Jack Crawford, "America's gigan tic orchestra conductor," and his ten-piece orchestra have been engag ed by the Kosmet Klub for the Pan Hellenic ball February 5 at the Scot tish Rite Temple. The Klub has been able to secure Crawford due to the fact that he has just ended a six-month engage ment in San Francisco and is going to open a new dance resort in Mil waukee. Tickets for the ball will be $4, due to the heavy cost of bringing Craw ford's orchestra here. Famous on Coast The band is famous on the Coast and in Chicago, where it formerly played. The orchestra plays in clown and blackface costumes and presents ten acts of vaudeville. The slogan of the Crawford or chestra is "Dance Music and How!" Judging by their success in San Francisco the music is all that it is reputed to be. The orchestra went to San Francisco under a four-weeks contract, and this was later extended twice. Crawford, is supported by mem bers of his organization, who present high class amusement Since the party will be in tne Scottish Rite Temple none of this need be misseu as' it might be in a larger hall. The full benefit of the orchestra and its personality may be gained. It is planned to erect a special stage or platform so the orchestra will not be handicapped in its work'. Seniority Rule Tickets for the ball are limited to 300. They will be allotted to the fraternity representatives some time this week. Seniority in the frater nities will be respected in the sale of tickets. The limit to 300 is made necessary by the size of the ball room at the Temple. A smoker for the fraternity repre sentatives, who make up the com mittee in charge, will be held Tues day evening at the Delta Tau Delta house. Plans for the ball will be discussed and if possible the tickets will be allotted at that time. The smoker will begin at 7 o'clock in order that it may be over early. The allottment will be about seven to each fraternity. In cae any fra ternity does not take all its tickets they may be obtained by members of other fraternities.
