APPROVES LATER
CLOSE OF BALL
Military Formal Will End
At 12 Instead of
11:30 p. m.
BECAUSE OF ORCHESTRA
Sponsors Think Extra Time
Desired on Account of
Lee's Band.
Military ball will close at 12 in
stead of 11:30 o'clock, according
to an announcement made by the
military department yesterday. An
extension of a half hour to the
regular closing time for all dances
in Lincoln has been approved by
Amanda Heppner, dean of women,
and has been secured as an addi
tional feature of the ball, stated
the sponsors of the affair.
The sponsors said they thought
an extra half hour of dancing
would be especially desired because
f the fact that George E. Lee's
Brunswick recording orchestra is
playing for the ball. Besides that,
they said, the Military ball is the
opener of the formal season at
Nebraska as well as an important
activity of the military depart
ment, and should be given more
time than an ordinary party.
First Time for Years.
This is the first time an exten
sion has been made on the clos
ing time of the ball for several
years, according to the sponsors.
Only a few other major parties
have had an extended time limit
in the past lew years.
Lengthening of the time of the
formal will not affect the time
when coeds must get in their
houses, according to Miss Heppner.
The 12:30 rule passed last fall will
be observed as usual, according to
'he women's dean.
Final preparations are now be
ing made for the ball. Erection of
decorations, which are to resemble
a medieval castle, has begun and
enough favors for the large crowd
expected to attend have been
secured.
OBSERVERS SEE K. U.
Adoption of Amateur Rule of
Big Six Believed to
Be First Step. '
Approval y the University of
Kansas athletic board Monday of
th? Big Six conference amateur
resolution was construed by con
ference observers to be its first
move to get back in the goou
graces of the other schools.
The Kansas board at a three
bour meeting late Monday after
ntzon emerged shortly before 7
o'clock to announce it had ap
proved adoption of the resolution
but to decline to make any com
ment upon just what this action
might mean in the way of declar
ing any Kansas university athletic
ineligibility.
The resolution adopted, which
was suggested at the special Big
Six conference meeting last week
of presidents, faculty representa
tives and athletic directors, is:
"Resolved : .That it is the sense,
and will be the policy of the M. V.
I. A. A. that students to be eligible
to participate in intercollegiate
events of this association, shall not
receive any subsidy, either directly
or indirectly, or any advance pay
ment or guarantee of salary from
any source
"This policy shall not be inter
preted to preveat any student from
obtaining legitimate employment
at reasonable and current rates for
the service rendered.
"That membership in the M. V.
I. A. A. be limited to the institu
tions subscribing and adhering to
this policy."

1931 GRID CARD
STILL IN DOUBT
Can't Tell About Schedule
Until Fate of Kansas
Is Determined.
WILL DECIDE THIS WEEK
Gish Still Hoping to Build
Season Around Jayhawk
And Iowa Tilts.
Prospects for an attractive grid
menu to be feasted upon by Uni
versity of Nebraska footbali play
ers and fans next fall are still in
the "dark," in spite of the at
tempts made by Cornhusker ath
letic officials to complete their
next season's schedule.
That is what Herbert D. Gish,
athletic director, announced Tues
day, adding that there is no possi
bility of filling in games for the
three remaining " open dates until
after the meeting of thfe Big Six
officials at Kansas City Friday of
this week.
At this time the conference of
ficials expect to finish their job
with the University of Kansas bad
boys. From that time on the Kan
sans are supposed to know
whether they are in or out as far
as the Big Six is concerned. And
the ultimate decision of the circuit
will have a direct bearing on Ne
braska's schedule, Gish declared.
Would Fill the Date.
If Kansas succeeds in being re
instated, then one of the blank
dates on the Husker card will be
filled Oct. 24. This was originally
intended for the Jayhawk visit to
Lincoln, but when the conference
heads began to discuss the rights
of the Sunflower representatives
to remain as members in good
standing, the date was automatic
ally declared "open."
The chances for filling in the
other two dates with headliners
might be better, too, after the
standing of Kansas is finally de
termined. The Cornhusker athletic
officials, according to Gish, have
been' holding out, more or less, on
games for Oct, 3 and Oct. 17, on
account of the uproar from the
southland.
The sports directors of Nebraska
have been hoping all along to work
up their schedule around the Kan
sas and the Iowa games as the: two
best home contests for next sear
son. and this, too. has had Its ef
fect on possible ticket sales for the
1931 term.
Attendance Drops.
During the season just now fin
ished a loss of 18.568 attendants
over the years before was experi
enced at the home games, accord
ing to John K. Selleck. business
manager of the student athletics.
The total for the 1930 season
was 76,967 as compared to 95,535
last year.
"Every school in the country
with the exception of Notre Dame
has shown a decrease in attend
ance this ycai," dec-lured Selleck.
There are four factors, in his
opinion, that govern crowds at the
games. They are the condition of
the home team, condition of the
opposing team, general business
conditions, and the weather.
Weighed Heavily.
All of these factors weighed
heavily in the decrease for this
term, Selleck believes.
The Pitt game was the drawing
crowd this year, 24,965 attending
the game. Missouri was second
with 15,589. These were considered
to be "sellouts ' earlier in the sea
son, but fell through, since the sta
dium will amply seat 30,000.
Other attendance figures: Texas
Aggies 15,693: Kansas Aggies, 10,
162; Montana State 8,174, and the
Nebraska-Okyaboma fresh nu.n
game, 4,984.

PLANS STILL HANG FIRE
80 Schools Ask Sectional
And Regional Meets;
43 Approved.
The site for the 1931 Nebraska
state high school basketball tour
nament will have to be selected
from one of three cities, Walter I.
Black, secretary of the state asso
ciation, announced Tuesday. The
places applying for the final
rounds are Hastings, Lincoln and
Omaha.
Nothing definite concerning the
place where the "big" meet is to
be held will be known until the
nest few weeks, Black stated. The
same holds true with the regional
and sectional tournaments, he
said.
For the past several years the
final rounds have been held at the
University of Nebraska coliseum,
but with two other places in the
running, the chances for holding
the next meeting here are far from
being cinched.
Many Apply.
Fifty outstste schools have ap
plied for sectional meets, which
are scheduled for Feb. 19 and 21,
but only thirty-two of them have
been approved by the board of con
trol according to Black. Schools
desiring , regional meets numbered
thirty, but only sixteen were final
j ly sanctioned ' by the association.
; The regional eliminations will take
! place March 5 and 7.
The final designation of the
various centers will come later,
Black indicated.
"Theoretically," he declared. "aP
sectional tournaments should be
held in towns that are entering a
sectional competitor. Last year
we found it necessary to deviate in
this policy in a few instances. With
but one or two exceptions, we are
pleased to state thst the tourna
ments for small schools held in the
larger towns were very successful.
Gym Facilities.
"On the other hand," he con
tinued, "it was our experience that
many of our teams would prefer to
confine the sectional tournaments
to the smaller towns. We shai;
work out this problem to the best
of our ability and judgment, taking
into consideration all gymnasium
physical facilities, road conditions,
support of the chamber of com
merce of other years and expressed
support for 1931."
March 12. 13 and 14 have been
tentatively set aside for the state
finals, wherever they are to be
held. Feb. 27 and 2S have been
reserved for sanctioned county
meets, but if invitational basket
ball tournaments are to be con
ducted by the high schools, they
must be played prior to Feb. 8.

League of4 Nations Sponsors
Compet; Dr. Pfeiffer in
Charge in State.
Dr. Laura B. Pfeiffer of the de
partment of History urges ambi
tious Nebraska students to enter
the First National College Contest
of ths League of Nations Associ
ation for theses on the League.
Miss Pfeiffer is Nebraska's repre
sentative on the national commit
tee for the contest, and will be
glad to advise interested students
as to the proper procedure.
The first prize offered in the
competition is a trip to Europe of
over a month's duration, including
some time in Geneva while The
Assembly of the League of Na
tions is in cession. Second and
third prize3 of $100 and $50 are
also promised.
Association Aids.
The League of Nations associa
tion, of New York City, sponsors
the contest and will send complete
information to those who register
on the requirements, as well as
some reference books and papers.
This first annual college contest
is being held concurrently with
the sixth national high school con
test, and the third national normal
school competition.
The program presents a choice
of seven topics concerning the
League of Nations for the thesis,
and offers to consider any other
related topic for approval before
the Jme of judgment. The dead
line for registration in the contest
is Feb. 2, with the typewritten
papers due exactly a month later.
"People dislike those things of
which they know nothing," said
Dr. Pfeiffer, "and the reason why
so few Nebraskans like the League
of Nations is because they know
so little about it."

MEET IS IN WORCESTER
Dr. Nels A. Bengtson. profes

the department, has been invited
to present one of the principal
papers at the coming meetings of
the Association of American Geog
raphy which will convene at Wor
cester, Mass., Dec. 29 to 31 inclu
sive. The feature of the report, "Phy
siography of the Upper Maracaibo
Basin of Venezuela" by Dr. Bengt
son will be his presentation of a
large scale map showing the exact
locations of lake shores, principal
streams and tributaries of the re
gion. To date all maps which
have been published of this area
have been based on conjecture
rather than actual field work.
Based On Field Work.
The paper as a whole will be
based on original field work which
the doctor carried on during a
leave of absence a few years ago.
It will issue fundamentals of the
structure and topography of an
area that is attracting wide atten
tion because of its petroleum pro
duction and possible stores waiting
development.
While on leave to do this origi
nal research work. Dr. Bengtson
was in charge of various mapping
parties. In addition to giving
general supervision of the several
parties it was the doctor's task to
correlate the previous work with
that in po-res. From this he has
been able to formulate an original
map based on facts. It will be dis
closed for the first time at the
coming convention.
