REPORTER IS QUESTIONED Gillespie and Akin Will Try Proving Innocence of Nebraskan. Proceedings in that epical law suit involving Congress man H.

They intend to call Robert Sticfler. the reporter who is said to have written the alleged libelous article; George Piper, head of the Know-Nothing party: Gayle Walker, head of the school of journalism and the university pub lication board: Lamoinc Bible, editor of the Nebraskan; Mary Lu Peterson, woman's editor; Irwin Ryan, managing editor; and others to the stand. In examining these witnesses and presenting their case it is rumored that Gillespie and Akin, the counsels for the defense, will bring forth startling testi mony to the effect that the charges made in the Nebraskan story were j absolutely true and consequently their clients are free from blame. They will also probably attempt to j break down the strong prima facie made out by the plaintiff. For the information of those who (Continued on Page 2.)

A "hole" is a tin cup in the center of a "green." A "green" is a small parcel of grass costing about $1 98 a blade and usually lo cated between a brook and a cou ple of apple trees, or a lot of "un finished excavation." The Idea is to get the golf ball from a given point into each of the eighteen cups in the fewest strokes and the greatest number of words. The ball must not be thrown, pushed or carried. It must be prop-lied by about $200 worth of curious looking implements, espe cially designed to provoke the owner. Each Implement has a ppecific purpose and ultimately some f olf ers get to know what that purpose Is. They are the exceptions. After the final, or eichbeentn hole, the golfer adds up his score and stops when he has reached 87. He then has a swim, a pint of gin, sings "Sweet Adeline" with six or ei?ht other perfect liars and calls It the end of a perfect day id thM i that.
