HUSKER BASKET MEN PREPARE FOR TIGERS Black Sends Squad Through Scrimmage in Spite of String of Wins MISSOURI THREATENS As the first Big Six conference basketball encounter next Saturday night with Missouri, is but a few days away. Coach Charles Black sent his proteges through a stiff practice session last night. Fresh from two victories during the Christmas holidays at the ex pense of Colorado College, played at Colorado Springs, the varsity squad last night showed a spirit of enthusiasm and ginger in their workout which forecast winning team. According to Coach Black, the boys are progressing well In con sideration of the fact that the sea son is Just opening, and although several rough spots in the Corn- husker play has been noticed by him, he hopes to have a smoother working aggregation to face the Tigers Saturday night, than fans were treated 10 in me couin ua. koU State game. In Coach Black's estimation, Maclay and Munn are scheduled to fight it out for first string center position with odds fairly even at the present time. He expressed the opinion that the guards were on a par. From the. scrimmage last night, Olson, Krall, Holm and Lew andowski appeared to be the lead ing contenders. Fisher Tops 8corra Fisher, the former Lincoln high ace, Is leading the Nebraska scor ers, his strength lying in tip-in hots. Wltte and Grace, veteran basket tossers along with Fisher, will assume the scoring responsi bilities for Nebraska if paBt per funnances -are aBJndlcatlon.- - For -reserve material to bolster the first stringers. Black has been relying on Davey and Jensen, mem bers of the varsity squad. Of the three games played by the Corn busker warriors,, all three wins have been by decisive margins, al though the offense has not been working according to mid-season form. When Missouri takes the floor Saturday night against Nebraska, fans will witness one of the veteran quintets In the Big Six title race. Welch.

T Gift Of $100 Is Offered Non-fraternity Man Of Junior Ranking DONOR IS NOT KNOWN A gift of $100 to be presented in gold to a non-fraternity man of the Junior class has been an nounced by Chancellor E. A. Bur nett of the University of Nebraska. In announcing the gift Saturday, Chancellor Burnett Bald that for the present It Is the wish of the donor that the giver of the prize be known as a friend of the uni versity. This gift came in re sponse to an Invitation from uni versity authorities for aid In estab lishing one hundred scholarships of $100 each for aiding needy stu dents. In the letter telling of the prize, the donor said, "It would give me a great deal of pleasure to present to the non-fraternity man of te Junior class, who shall best exhibit those qualities of initiative, self reliance, and persistence in the obtaining of an education, the sum of $100 In gold, the award to be made at commencement time or such other time as may seem ad visable." He stipulates certain other con ditions surrounding the award, stressing the fact that while schol arship and character should be taken Into consideration, he desires to emphasize particularly the trl uniph that the student is making over heavy odds In obtaining his education. Juniors Eligible "I have limited the prize to met. of Junior sianaing," writes the donor, "in the belief that a man who has been wholly or largely self-suporttnR during the threw pre ceding years will be rather deserv ing of recognition.- This will also narrow the selection to a certain extent. I hope that the $100 will serve to make the senior year of this student a little more pleasant. "I have limited the prize to non- fraternity men (men who do not belong to social fraternities," he continues, "througn no antipatny to such organizations but rather-rn the belief that the non-fraternity man receives too little attention. The man who can afford to belong to a fraternity is not generally in need of assistance, and if he Is, he can often obtain It through his fraternity affiliations."

Tall mountains have sprung up Jn the drill field during vacation tall snow-capped mounds of dirt. No, there has been no glacier period or volcanic eruption that we have heard ".bout, but it doesn't take a geolc it to tell up that this sticky yellow dirt Is Just surface dirt of the stickiest and most yel low kind of sticky yellow genl, and that to all appearances, it Is being excavated by those same obliging stearr. shovels that entertained us last srring when Andrews hil was a mere hole In the ground sur PRICE 5 CENTS FAMOUS RUSSIAN WILL GIVE TALK Son of Leo Tolstoy, Noted Author, Speaks Today At 11 O'clock RED RULE IS DISCUSSED Russia Before and Since Bolshevism' Is Topic Of Address Count Ilya Tolstoy, ion of Leo Tolstoy, Russia's most famous writer and philosopher, will deliver an address on "Russia Before and Since Bolshevism," before a Uni versity convocation in the Temple theater this morning at eleven o'clock.

List Of Candidates Who Have Failed To Apply Is Large All candidates for degrees in June who have not yet notified the office of the registrar must do so at once, according to a statement made Monday by Registrar Flor ence I. McOahey. Applications for degrees should be made in the Administration building, room B9. Office hours are from ten to three on week days and from eight to twelve on Saturday.

It is essential, however, that they do so, as there Is a faculty ruling that all students must be recommended as within eighteen hours of graduation at the beginning of their last semester. The following seniors apparently are planning to be graduated in June, but they have not yet made application for their degrees. Any student whose name does not ap pear on this list, who has not made application for his degree, should do so at once. If any of those listed do not wish their degrees in June, they also should notify the office ot the registrar. Llit Is Large Ethel L. Albert, Philip C. An derson, W. C. Endres Bahls, Leigh ton S.
