Decisive wins for Theta Chi, Phi
Amha Sijrma Phi featured
the second day afternoon play in the
.nnual inter-fraternity basketball
tournament Tuesday. Leading by a
12-4 score at half time, Theta Chi
continued to pile up a winning mar
gin over Acacia in their first game,
winning handily 19-8. Bignell starred
for the Theta Chi's, scoring 9 of his
team's total while Kresinger was the
important cog in the Acacia ma-
o..ci,ooa ive for the basket
brought the Phi Kappa's victory. He
rang up a total of 12 points while
his team mates contributed their
share in trouncing Pi Kappa Phi 34
13. The floor work of Janulewicz
and Hecock also featured the Phi
Kappa's play while Sloan did the
best work for Pi Kappa Phi.
Alpha Sig Win.
The Alpha Sigs had little trouble
with the Lambda Chi's, scoring a
29-11 victory. Konkel, dimunitive
Alpha Sig forward, led the scoring
of both teams with 10 points. Hol
beisen and Norling. also featured
while Sharpe, lanky Lambda Chi cen
ter, played the best for his team.
Delta Tau Delta won by forfeit in
the other afternoon game when
Alpha Chi Sigma failed to put in
their appearance.
Phi Kappa Psi easily won the first
game of the evening from Zeta Beta
Tau by 39 to 11. The powerful
scoring combination of Tagg and
Wells proved too much for Zeta Beta
Tau and in a short time after the
first whistle they were well in the
rear. The Phi Psi's sent in their
second team for the last few minutes
of the first half.
Score Fifty Points.
Kappa Sigma, last year's second
place winners, won the outstanding
contest of the evening from Delta
Theat Phi by 50 to 13. The game
was far more interesting than the
score would indicate and due credit
should be given to Hull of the Delta
Theta Chi team. Hull made several
field goals from near the center of
the floor but lacked support. Mo
nday at center and Roper at forward
starred for the fast Kappa Sigma
team.

Are Being Conducted in Laboratory
The research and household man

now has a newly established Purnell
laboratory in the Home Economics
building. Here Professor Greta Gray
and her assistant, Mrs, Snyder, are
working on problems of great inter
est to the people throughout the
country, especially in Nebraska.
This fall a series of tests is being
made on different types of oil
stoves. The purpose is to determine
which type gives the best service
from the standpoint of economy as
well as efficiency.
There are two types of oil stoves
one type having short burners and
the second, long ones. There are
three kinds of short burner stoves,
the wick type, the asbestos-ring type,
and the wickless type. The second
Principle type, having long burners
has, as its name implies, long burn
ers which place thi flame farther be
