REDS AND BLUES IN DECIDING GAME
Girls' Basket Ball Teams to Settle the Championship Game Today
The third match game between the Crimson and the Blue women's basket ball teams will be played off this afternoon in the gymnasium. The teams are composed of members of the Women's Athletic Association and each team has so far won one game. The team that wins the first two promises to be interesting and each side is claiming the best chances for victory.
Interest in the women's swimming classes is picking up and the young women are learning the different strokes in expert style. Racing and will be startled the first of this week and match contests will soon be held.
Dr. Margaret Johnson, head of the women's athletic department, said today, "I have had several inquiries as to whether thegirl's gym work will continue through May or not. I wish to say that it will and that most of it will be out of doors. We are now practicing on Association foot ball on the open field. The game, as we plan it, is much modified in its relation to the soccer game played by the men's teams. All rough work has been eliminated and we use merely the foot work. The Idea is more to give the classes the out door exercise than n to make professional soccer players out of them."

"Wanted—Nine eligible men to represent Nebraska on the baseball team."
Delinquency Committee Get Half the Cornhusker Baseball Squad
With about half of the entire squad declared ineligible by the delinquency committee, the Cornhusker baseball situation has taken on a serious aspect. The team was nearly demolished and Nebraska will meet Donane today with only about half of the men who were counted on to play at home. With those ineligible, however, expect to be able to make up their work within a week or so, but it will handicap Nebraska in its first game.
LEAVE FOOTBALL RULES TO STAGG
If He Approves Chicago Will Make Her Own Gridiron
NEBRASKA WANTS ELIGIBLES
Code
Coach Stagg, who will return from the South next Friday or Saturday, will determine the position of the University of Chicago faculty on the question of "big eight" football rules. The maroon professors asserted yesterday that the director would be the chief figure in the deliberations over the latest recommendations of the conference representatives, who wish to bar athletic men from their ranks and frame independent football laws.
The Chicago coach, who has been a member of the standing national rules committee for years, is not expected to approve of the proposal to break away from the national committee. Although he would be the logical head of any western body that might be formed, Coach Staghg has always favored unified rules, and the maroons affirm that he regards the opposite tendency as unfortunate.
STAGG OPPOSES FOUR DOWN RULE
It is no secret at the maroon camp, that Coach Stagg does not favor the 1912 rule permitting four downs in ten yards on the ground that it will tend to increase mass play, and that he opposed the innovation before the last meeting of the rules committee. The maroons are waiting to hear the coach's opinion, however, before protesting against the rules.
The maroon baseball team worke out with a team of alumni and ineligibles yesterday and will play the Joliet Standards this afternoon at Marshall field.
The professors who urged independent rules most at last Saturday's conference gathering were in favor of reverting to the 1911 code so far as possible. Experienced football men at the Midway oppose the whole plan on the ground that it is impracticable, as it would result in confusion among the players and officials.

Over sixty freshman have responded to Coach Plank's call for candidates for the freshmen base ball team. As there is but one vacant diamond to be had for their practice, it is almost impossible to get any line on their respective playing ability.
FRESHMEN SLABSTERS HEAR DIAMOND CALL
The men will probably be picked to a large extent on their hitting ability. It is intended to keep as large a squad can be conveniently worked. On account of the lateness of the season it will be hardly possible to pick teams before they will be gin practicing with the varidity.
In order to overcome this lack of space, it is planned to fix up a new field directly west of the present diamonds. If it not found sufficient to supply the needs of the present would-be pill chasers, it is probable that an attempt will be made to secure two or three more diamonds this summer.
Coach Plank in speaking of his men said that he expects a team that will make the varity hustle. Several men have reported their ability have reported for practice.
HAWAII WILL NOT PLAY
Foreign Team Not Heard From Since Arrival In This Country.
The game scheduled with the College of Hawaii for Thursday of this week has been called off. The game was scheduled the early part of the season, but as no word has been heard from them since their arrival in America, Coach Sherwin thought it advisable to cancel it.
FIRST TO SIGMA CHIS
It is too late to secure another, game to take the place of the one cancelled so no game will be staged this Thursday.
It is not known whether the students of this University will be given a chance to see the Chinese ball players in action at a later date or not, as no definite word can be seen from them as to their intentions.
Lack of Practice Space Makes Choosing of Team Very Difficult
Initial Game in the Inter-Fra-
ternity Series Goes by a
17 to 7 Score
In the first game of the inter-fraternity baseball series played yesterday afternoon, the Sigma Chis took a running start and got well in the lead for the season's pennant by allowing the Sigma Nus to hold down the small end of a 17 to 7 score.
Try the cherry marachine at Wiedmann's.'-Adv.
The score:
Sigma Nu. ...100 051 0----7
Sigma Chl. ...460 700 0----17
It was not until the fifth inning that the Sigma Nu hopes took a new lease on life and decided to come back. At this time they awoke from their lethargic mood and got five men across the home plate.
The second game of the series is being played this afternoon on McCook between the Phi Delts and the Sig Alphs.
Harlan and Wilson were the "heavy's" for the Sigma Chi aggregation and slammed the horse hide out in far field nearly every time up. The star play of the game was pulled off by Heil in the first inning. He drew down the laurels by scoring a double-out assisted; tagging one man between third and second, and counting counter-clockwise and tagging another man making a slide back to first. The way was easily one that could come under the head of "The Greatest Play I Ever Saw."

OVAL CHASERS APPEAR Twenty Men Answer First Call For Spring Football Practice.
In addition to the regular routine of spring practice, it is intended to stage a practice game with the red skins from Haskell the latter part of May.

Jay Bond will assist Coach Sherwin,
who is at present busy with the base ball
team and is unable to devote all of
his time to the foot ball squad.
BIG CHORUS AT FINAL
VESPERS WAS A SUCCESS
Spring foot ball will officially open tonight when the first real practice starts. It is expected that at least twenty students are in every man checked out suits last night.
"I consider this service one of the greatest things we have had in years," said Chancellor Strong, Sunday after the recitation of the "Holy City," song by the Garnett Oratorio chorus, and the University Vesper chorus.
Everybody Liked The Special Music-Chancellor Strong Said it Was The Best in Years.
The recital is in every way a success, and was enjoyed by a large audience.
The special solo work done by Miss Gail Westcott was a rare [rank to] Kirk,
The quartett composed of Miss Cora Reymolds, Miss Ethel Hess, Mrs. Pickens, and Mrs. Learnard all of Lawrence, with the soprano obligato by Mrs. Lyons and the bass by Professor Hubach, rendered one of the best parts of the difficult parts of "The Holy City," in a pleasing and commendable manner.
Professor Preyer and Miss Maude Cook played the piano and helped materially in making the program a success.
The chorus work of Mrs. Blanche Lyons and Miss Bessie Raymonds was beyond expectations and their solo parts were sung well.
"Although we were much disappointed that only about half of those expected came over from Garnett," said Professor Hubach this morning, "all who same expressed themselves as more than pleased with Lawrence."
Team Shall Play Only Baseball The candidates for the baseball team at Syracuse University have been forbidden to bowl or play basket-ball during the training season.
Michigan Engineers Flees Math Quiz An engineering student at Michigan fearing that he might flunk in mathematics, ran away from the university. He could not be located for some time, but finally was heard from in South Bend, Indiana.
