Guards Not Scoring
Coach F. C. Allen is doing his best at the present time to induce his guards to shoot more.

Nebraska comes here tonight with only a fair record for the season but with the information that the team is on the up grade. The Cominckers defeated Drake the first of the week to win the game from Kannapolis here, last Friday night.

The cost of grading an irregular surface is as much as the area of the building and near the University is found to be more satisfactory for the making of tennis courts.
One hundred tennis courts is the goal of the University Athletic Association. Two new courts are being made now on some newly purchased ground on Illinois street, and two others are being made only a layer of chat which will be added before the spring season opens. Because of the recent additions made to the stadium, the total number of courts was reduced from 21 to 18, however, new ones will be made suitable property is purchased.
"The original cost of a court | about $500 and the upholder requires a much time and money to build and move way above any sport," Dr. F. C. Allen said today, "but the athletic association considers it a good investment and does not want it to be cut." Some schools, however, impose an hourly charge upon the players." Concerts courts are being planned for the future. They will not only reduce the cost of uplease but also will send students to play in damp weather.

Delaware seemed intent solely upon ending the conference in a friendly spirit, trying to forget the underlying tone of bitterness that broke out on
the latter the one that Tecquenia caused Dr. Horacio Puypredon to resign as Argentine ambassador at Washington and Argentine conference delegate.
