THE : HESPERIAN Gii-l'H BtiKlcet Bull 'JCdim. 'VARSITY TEAM TO PLAY COUNCIL BLUFFS. For the first time in the history of the University of Nebraska, or for that matter, in the history of the west, there is to be a formal match between girls' teams at basket ball. On Friday March 4, Mrs. E. P. Floore of Council Bluffs, their chaperon, will bring down an experienced team of Iowa girls to contest for supremacy with the 'Varsity first team. Lin coln ladies who will act as patronesses on this occasion arc Mrs. Chaucellor MacLean, Mrs. W. J. Bryan, Mrs. G. M. Lamberlson, Mrs. L. C. Richards, Mrs. W. B. Ogden, Mrs. A. S. Raymond and Mrs. C. H. Gere. These will be prominently seated in the west end of the armory or in the first row of the balcony, where they may best view the game. At the close of the playing a luncheon will be served to patronesses, players and officers in the armory. Mrs. W. B. Ogden, assisted by Misses Helen Harwood and Lena Deweese have the preparation for these in hand. While they are in Lincoln the Council Blufl's players will be entertained at the homes of Mrs. F. 31. Hall, Mrs. J. II. MacMurtry, Mrs. A. M. Lambertson, Mrs. L. C. Richards and Mrs. A. S. Raymond. The "Midget" teams which played on Charter day will play at the opening of the program and between halves, and will en deavor to repeat their previous success. Just at present there is some uncertainty as to the rules to be followed by the Iowa girls and the first team in the evening's play. The Council Bluffs' girls are used to playing by the men's rules, while the University girls have been playing by the Smith collego rules, which do not allow any knocking of the ball from the hands. Probably some sort of a compromise will bo effected, and the first half will be played according to the men's rules, for the sake of the loiva girlo, and the ccohJl accord ing to the women's rules, for the sake of the home team. This should add interest to the match, for the two styles of playing can then be contrasted. As to admission, the girls have decided that football prices should be charged. Owing to the style of the game,basket ball, the authorities have to exercise care about the kind of audience present, and have sent out i this announcement: Any lady may come, and any gentleman who is accompanied by a lady. About the case of "single gentlemen" they have not yet decided. Tickets will probably be one remady. Demands for reserved seats have been received alreadj', and many from out of town have sent word that they are coming in for t'.ie match. "University colors will be worn and a yell is being made for the occasion. The names and positions of the Council Bluffs flayers have not yet been sent in.
