SATURDAY TILT
Oklahoma Aggies Is Third in
Valley With Good Chance
For Championship
PRACTICE IS FAVORABLE
Freshmen Are Unable to Make
Showing Against First
String Wednesday
Flashing: a highly improved brand
of offensive play, the Varsfty basket
ball quintet turned in a convincing
victory over the yearling basketeers
Wednesday afternoon. As the game
with the Oklahoma Aggies draws
near, the Huskers are getting down
to hard work in preparation for the
third place Valley team.
With such men as "Ab" Wright
and Wilkie Collins in their Rneup,
the Aggie team is a potential candi
date for Valley honors. Having most
of their hard games played and rid
ing in third place, the Stillwater
farmers are figured to have an ex
cellent chance for the lead in Miss
ouri Valley basketball affairs.
Forward Wright on the Sooner Ag
gie team is well known not only in
basket circles but in Missouri Valley
football. Wright played in the back
field of the Western team which de
feated the Eastern football stars in
California a month ago. His flash
ing play there brought special men
tion to the Aggie sophomore, and his
playing in the cage game has given
him second place in the Valley scor
ing table. Holt, Sooner pivot man,
leads the scoring pack with 102
markers to his credit. Wright has
S6 points.
By winning the Saturday contest
with the Oak Aggies, the Nebraskans
can pull up to the top of the sec
ond division. If the Varsity main
tains the peak of form which it has
been disolaying during recent prac
tice drills, a victorious outcome is
quite a possibility.
Game Will Be Hard
According to Harvey Grace, for
ward on the basket team, the Blacky
men Know tnat tne coming tut is
likely to be the hardest yet, but are
prepared to win or die in the at
tempt The combination of Brown and
Witte, forwards; "Shorty" Munn,
center; and Holm and Lewandowski,
guards was much in evidence during
the Wednesday play. This team,
with the addition of Grace at one of
the forward berths, reeled off a big
lead over the young basket tossers,
who were making every chance they
had at the basket. The lineup named
will probably get the call for the
week-end tustle with the Aggies as
they have been showing proficiency
in all departments of the indoor
sport and play well together.
Lacking their usual stars, the
freshman team failed to put as good
a fight as usuaL However., tho'ejj

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1928.
Two Fellow Member Conform to
Ruling Made by Committee and
'Pass the Candy' at Regular
Meeting of the Group.
A short time ago the Student
Council passed an important measure
whereby, all members of the student
council who became engaged to any
persons whatsoever should as an in
dication of their sincere desire to
work effectively with the council, fur
nish the council with a box of candy.
The action was retroactive and post
facto lest members who had already
reached the engaged state should fail
to furnish satisfactory evidences of
their continued whole-souled interest
in the council.
The measure, when presented by
a self appointed council committee,
met with the heartiest approval of
the council members and was unani
mously passed in spite of the biased
and prejudiced council members.
But, alas, today the council mem'
bers are in a "bad way". Regardless
of their high positions elected on
their representative abilities from
their colleges they were apparently
mere children at heart. Not that they
indulged too extensively in the flav
ored candy which was presented to
them by the engaged, in fulfilling
their contract. But who wouldn't be
tempted when a luscious box of candy
is put before them?
In other words, the engaged mem
bers, complying with the unanimously
passed petition, presented the stu
dent group with a box of candy at
their meeting last evening held in
Temple 201. Before opening the bus
iness session of the meeting the
Council president proceeded to open
the large box of chocolates (?) and
pass them to the group. Oh, it was a
sorry sight indeed when the dignified
president as well as the editor and
business manager of the Comhusker,
the managing editor of the Daily Ne
braskan, the business manager of the
Awgwan and others took their first
bite into the petitioned-for candy.
Those delicious looking chocolates,
those candies which were to prove co
operation, had for their "creamy"
centers Bermuda's best onions! Not'

Grads Plan to
Commemorate
Charter Day
Almost three score years of ener
getic existence and still growing by
leaps and bounds, is the record of
the University of Nebraska. Febru
ary la, hundreds of JMeDraska
"grads" all over the United States
will meet to commemorate Univer
sity Charter Day, the fifty-ninth an
niversary of the date when Governor
David Butler signed the legislative
bill granting a charter to the Uni
versity, Harold F. Holtz, alumni sec
retary, declared Wednesday.
The plan to broadcast a Charter
Day program from the University
studio has had to be given up due
to the recent reassignment of broad'
casting wave lengths. This will not,
however, Mr. Holtz said, prevent al
umni clubs from meeting to observe
the "birthday" of their Alma Mater.
In Nebraska, county Cornhusker
Clubs will meet at a score of cities.
At almost every one of these some
member of the faculty will be pres
ent to strengthen and recall old
memories of the school to its former
students. These county club meet
ings will be held at the following
cities: Albion, Tekamah, West Point,
Fremont, Curtis, Beatrice, Grand
Island, Aurora, Alma, Fairbury,
Norfolk, Columbus, Crete, Seward,

After a two weeks layoff, the Okla

team will get back into the Missouri j
Valley conference this week-end.1
Two games are on tap, the first with
the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan on
Friday night and the other with the
University of Nebraska at Lincoln
Saturday.
Practice was not quite so intensive
last week because of final examina
tions and registration for the sec
ond semester, but hard workouts are
scheduled for this week, according to
Coach J. F. Maulbetsch.
Most of the coach's effort this
week will be devoted to speeding up
the Aggies' offense and improving
the defensive work of the forwards.
Coach Maulbetsch is not at all sat
isfied with the way in which his
team breaks. He declares this is the
slowest breaking team be has had
since be came to Stillwater.
Defensively, the Aggies are not
as strong at they might be, Maul

this department of the same.

Notables Unable to
Officiate at Derby
Considerable disappointment
was experienced at Intramural
headquarters late this week when
all three, of the notables invited
to officiate at the ' Cornhusker
Derby wired their regrets. Henry
Ford, the Prince of Wales, and
One-eyed Connley were the trio
who were expected to be on hand
for the first Indoor Derby in the
history of this inritution. Until
the last minute, it was hoped Uiat
they would still be able to be pres
ent but substitutions have been
procured as a precaution.
Through reliable sources, it has
been learned that Henry Ford was
forced to cancel this engagement
because he must get new models
' on the market while the Prince of
Wales failed to fall for our prop
osition. One-eyed Connley wired
that he could not see his way clear
to make the trip.
