SEMESTER TESTS
HAL! CAGE PLAY
N INTRAMURALS
Stronger Teams Forge Ahead
As League Competition
Takes Shape.
Leadership in league competition
tvas fairly well established this
weekend when interfraternity and
barb basketball came to a tempo
rary halt of two weeks, stepping
aside because of first semester etf
animations. Intramural cage play
will be resumed Feb. 1.
Keen rivalry still exists among
the Greek letter houses who have
weathered the initial storm and
came out undefeated. Ten quintets
are unbeaten in Class A play and
five cage teams in Class B have
yet to lose a single game. The
thinning out process in B competi
tion has been more severe than in
A, where interfraternity rivalry
finds the better quintets com
peting. Delta Tau Delta, holding a 27-3
Victory over Acacia in Class A,
appears to be the outstanding
team in League 1. Alpha Sigma
Phi, with a 14-13 win over Acacia;
Phi Gamma Delta, with a 20-10
victory over Theta Chi; and Phi
Sigma Kappa, with a 9-2 triumph
over Theta Chi, are the other un
defeated leaders in League 1.
Beta Sigs Lead League 2.
Beta Sigma Psi and Pi Kappa
Alpha rank top in League 2 of
Class A. Beta Sigma Psi defeated
Farm House 12-9, and Phi Alpha
Delta forfeited to them. Pi Kappa
Alpha upset Phi Alpha Delta 13
13. Neck and neck, Alpha Tau Ome
ga and Phi Kappa Psi are racing
for L?ague 3 laurels. ATO holds
victories over Chi Phi 16-11 andi
Sigma Alpha Mu 38-4. Phi Pai
hoopsters have wrecked the cham
pionship hopes of Chi Phi 21-7,
Kappa Sigma 16-9 and SAM 22-2.
Betas and Phi Delts are leading
the contingent in League 4. Beta
Theta Pi has scored victories over
Delta Upsilon 13-10 and Theta. Xi

League Leaders.
Acacia, Sig Alpha, Sig Nu, ATO
and PIKA are league leaders in
Class B strife, but which of the
five teams will go to the top in
the finals remains an open ques
tion. Beta Theta Pi was eliminated by
Acacia, 10-7, giving the Acacia
cagers League 1 honors. In League
2 Sig Alph has dropped Beta Sig
ma Psi 20-1 and Sigma Chi 11-6.
Sigma Nu's hoopmen have also
stemmed the efforts of Farm
House 17-10, Phi Gamma Delta 14
0 and Sigma Phi Epsilon 13-11 in
League 3. Pi Kappa Alpha and Al
pha Tau Omega share leadership
in League 4, ATO defeating Delta
Upsilon 25-16 and Zeta Beta Tau
38-5 and PIKA eliminating Delta
Upsilon 11-7 and Phi Kappa Psi,
17-12.
Barb intramural basketball has
been better organized this winter

States. After the lecture, he told
the writer: "I enjoyed the attacks
in several columns oi me uany
Nebraskan. Sorry to say, I can't
reform. I'll always be a whole
hearted German."
Nothing could be more indica
tive of Dr. Sehoenemann's
method of "meeting such oppo
sition." But the "meat" of this
story lies in the following dis
cussion of the American press,
left for this part of the story to
avoid the dangerous emphasis
that the lead sentence of a stroy
enables a writer to wield.
Dr. Schoenemann condemned
unconditionally the policy of sen
sationalism practiced by the ma
jority of Ameiican newspapers,
particularly as that policy relates
to the reporting of news from the
Cerman nation.
Speaking of local newspapers,
Dr. Schoenemann remarked, "The
Star is fairly decent in reporting
foreign news. But the Journal bas
been unfair." (In a previous dis
cussion, Dr Schoenemann referred
to the editorial columns of the
Journal as being outspoken in an
anti-nazi policy.) "There was an
excellent artide, however, that ap
peared in the Sund.iy Journal by
Miss Betty Paine. It was quite
fair."
Miss Paine's article was pub
lished in the Sunday Journal and
Star, published jointly by the
newspapers.
"Take it easy," interrupted Dr.
W. K. Pfeiler, associate professor
of Germanic languages. "Making
an attack on the local press is no
way to promote friendly relations."
"Politics, politics!" Dr. Schoene
mann laughed.
Then talk turned to his general
indictment of the press, fortified
by reasons and examples. For in
stance:
"If I were half as malicious as
most American Journalists, I
would make a terrible case against
the American civilization. Judging
from the front pages of American
newspapers, life here is Just a ',
series of crimes and political cor-1
ruptlon.
"In Germany, there is a restric
tion on th news printed. No di
vorce reports are published. The
writers are careful in treating
crime stories And you must be
careful what you say about the
head of a foreign government. For
instance, you could not attack Mr.
Roosevelt or the head of any other
nation. You ran, however, attack
a nation's policy in an objective
way.
"Your people have such a
wrong impression of Germany.
Reporters seize on some minor
lact. overemphasize it, and lose
the truth of the story. Sometimes
It is the sub-editors who take out
a single paragraph in a story and
change its whole meaning."
Dr. Schoenemann places
much responsibility for such dis
tortion on the translation of
news. In a previous discussion
he cited the translation of
"Kultur" In World war days
to "Culturs" as a fact that "led
to much undeserved hatred of
Germany." A mora recent ex
ample, he quoted Hitler's recent

reads: "The rhythm of Miss Cr.lh-1

By distortion, he said, American

speech had been printed, it
would have shown, he said, that
the reference was to holster
German spirit to overcome their
difficulties, even though tT.cy
fought against greater odds
than neighboring countries.
"Tne American definition of
news is extraordinary fiom a

to Americans, news is what should
not have happened.
"Reporting news of other na
tions is especially difficult, since
you must now why that country
is different from yours, and then
take these farts into consideration
in writing the story.
"If journalists and the press at
large realized the responsibility
they have toward the world, they
would be fairer in their treat
ment of others. Fairness in news
papers would guarantee peace
much more than all the pac.flcst
meetings you could have."
Dr. Schoeneman always laugh
ingly refers, in speeches and con
versation, to the "evil propagan
dist" that he is.
Webster defines propaganda
as "effort directed systematic
ally to the gaining of support for
a principle or course of action."
"If you call me a propagandist

Wintry Blals
.May Blow If
To keep your complexion as soft
and orchidaceous as you wish it
despite wind and snow and ice, re
quires special treatment.
I have designed a very simple
but efficient treatment for you
which will require little more than
five minutes every day to take and
which I know you will find most
beneficial to your skin.
Because the complexion is
generally drier and more liable
to chap and parch in winter than
in summer, because cold air and
wind has a still further drying
effect on the skin, your face
. should be washed only at night
when you will not again be going
out. In the morning face and
neck should be cleansed with a
rich gentle cleansing cream like
pasteurized face cream. This is
a very thoro cleanser which not
only removes every particle of
dust and dirt but which also
leaves the skin softer and
smoother than before.
After cleansing with the pas
teurized face cream, .oak a small
strip of cotton wool in your skin
tonine lotion snecial and eo over
vour face with it verv thoroly.
I The skin toning lotion is a very
gentle astringent that gives a
smooth mat finish to your face
and also closes the pores against
dust and grime. It is thus not only
a beautifier but a protective. You
will find it an invaluable aid
again.'
which
that painful raw look
is often such a distressing
sign of winter.
Now, if you have a founda
tion, you will be careful to pat
it all over face and neck. A town
and country makeup film in
peachbloom or mauresque will
be most useful and attractive.
Not only will it hide small lines
and little blemishes, but it will
he'd makeup for hours. Into the
bargain it is a real help in en
abling you to blend your makeup
easily and artistically. I recom
mend town and country makeup
film to you especially for winter
use, because it contains many
valusb'e and beneficial bio
loiical ingredients which seep
quickly into the skin and re
place those natural oils which
keep the skin supp'e and elastic.
If you have not yet invested in
this excellent foundation, a thin
film of your pasteurized face
cream will make your rouge and
powder stay on longer and will
also afford your complexion some
protection against chapping and
flaking.
Another point to remember is
that your face needs special con
sideration after every outdoor
jaunt in this winter weather.
Whenever you have been sleigh
riding, ice skating or risking your
life and limbs on skis, be sure to
cleanse your face with the pasteur
ized face cream as soon as you
come in. Then, if you are taking
a bath, seize the opportunity to
give your complexion the added
lubrication it needs at the same
time. Just massage in more of the
pasteurized face cream and leave
one for the 15 minutes or more
that you are steaming yourself.
You will be surpr ised at the added
loveliness this will give your com
plexion. By Helena Rubenstein.

Knight Brothers Win Only
Decisions in Husker
Loss to K-Ags.
Their first Big Six title hopes
having been jolted to the tune of
a 9' s to 18' 2 defeat laat Saturday
by Kansas State. Coach Jerry Ad
dams' wrestlers are pointing to the
Iowa State battle, which will be
staged here Jan. 30. Mentor Hugo
Otopalik's Cyclone bonebenders
will invade the Husker lair with
a team composed mostly of vet
erans. In last Saturday's dual, the
Cornhuskers were only able to ob
tain two victories, Milbourn Knight
decisioning his opponent, and his
brother, Jim, pinning his adversary
in 59 seconds. Had the match been
20 seconds shorter, Don "Flaah"
Flasnick would have won his 165
pound go with Ernie Jessup. Hav
ing a scant one point margin on
Jessup and with seconds left in
the battle, Flasnick apparently
i forgot himself and as a result the
j Cat matman obtained a get be-
i hind, which scores five points, on
him and naturally victory.
Hutcherson Goes to Draw.
Footballer Jack Hutcherson
found that inertness does not pay
victory dividends as he drew with
the K-State heavyweight, Rolland
I Holland. Jack, like Flasnick, had
, the triumph cinched, but the K-
Stater nut on more fight and ag
gressiveness than the Cornhusker
! and as a result Referee Kellogg
awarded him two extra points tor
this, which was enough to give
him a tie with "Hutch."
The Kansas State battle plainly
! evinced that the Adamsmen are in
! dire need of practice. Bill Luke,
I Jerry Adams, Ray Larson and
i Carl Yost, all of whom dropped
, their matches along with Don
Flasnick and Jack Hutcherson, re-
ported yesterday at the sub-coli-1
scum floor and immediately began
i the task of polishing their strides
for the Iowa State meet.
