ty and pretty, every woman is going

Fashion seems to have done her best
to popularize one-piece embroidery
and lace dresses for spring. Seldom
have styles been so cleverly designed
to meet the preferences of every type
OF woman and yet please all. The
styles vary, as a matter Of course
some are simple but beautiful, others
are beautifully elaborate-you will
like every one OF the them.
And you will like the prices at
tached to every one of them, for
every one of them have been marked
with due regard to maintain our

BOYS PRACTICE DRIBBLING
Important Feature Of Basket Ball is
Not to Be Overlooked.
SOME ARE NOW ADEPT AT IT
Officials Agree that Dribbiing Has
Come 10 stay and II Destined
to Play Important Part
In Contests.

"Drlbbling" promises TO be one Of the
strongest assets Of the Omaha High
school basket ball quintet this season
and Coach Clark has been paying specia
attention to this important feature Of the
game during the last two weeks Of prac'
tice. -'
The knack Of acquiring the art oil
''dribbling'' is just as hard for an eX'
perienced hand at the game as a begin
ner. for, although simple IN its appear
ance. It Is exceedingly hard to pull of
such play while n hard game Is In prog
ress and every move must be made with
out interruption from an opponent.
Leslie Burkenroad. left guard. is be-
coming very adept at this feature OF the
game. as he practiced II for some time
prior to the opening Of the season. His
ability to evade his opponents Is what
makes his "dribble" playing so full Of
action. Beryl Croker, captain and right
forward. and Mark Hughes. center, are
also putting in extra practice At this part
Of the floor game.
II is the aim Of Coach Clark to i'm
press upon hts pupils the need OF more ac-
ton TO their playing other than the usual
jumping and running about the floor In
their efforts to shoot a basket. Like all
other branches - athletics he believes
that II an aspirant for honor In any
special branch Of sport can improve on
the old methods of play the game will
prove more interesting and full of fea-
lures.
Prominent basket bail officials all over
the country have agreed that the dribble
feature of the floor game has come to
stay, and that II viii play an important
part Of the indoor sport this season.

SCHEDULE is MOVED AHEAD GRAPpLERS READY FOR GONG
Basket Ball Dates Changed to Avoid
Festivities at Easter.
DRAWBACKS ARE NOT EXPECTED
quiries Concerning Coming
Meet and Big Entry
List IL Expected.

LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 2o.-(SpeciaD-
Owing TO conflict OF dates. Manager
Earl o. Eager OF the state university
has found II necessary to change the date
Of the annual interscholastic basket ball
meet between the high schools in the
state. lie has moved the meet ahead Just
one week.
The original date was March II. Is and
49, but Eager has found II necessary to
hold the high school meet March 5, .
and TO- The Easter holidays at the state
university are responsible for the change
In the time OF the meet. 1t was found
upon investigation that the original date
would bring the meet during the Easter
recess when practically all Of til. unit
yerslty students are at home and as one
object of the meet is to bring the high
school students in closer teach with the
state school it was found necessary
10 put the meet ahead.
Greek letter societies provide entertain
ment and lodging for the high school
men so that their absence from the city
during the holidays would have forced
aonther large item of expense on the
management.
Manager Eager does not believe that
thu change in dates will seriously inter-
fere in the entry Of any high school in
the meet. BY the first Of March It Is be-
lieved that the majority of Nebraska high
schools win have completed their regular
schedules. and the date finally decided
upon will not interfere with any contests
which have already been scheduled BY
high schools. +..-
Eager has been delayed again in send
ing out the letters notifying high schools
Of the big meet. The choice Of officials
will be made as soon as entries are COM
pleted. -.....
Letters continue TO inquire as to the
date Of the meet and Eager expects the
entries will be much larger han in l9ll.
