HUSKERS TO HAVE
BASE BALL TEAM
Summer Rule Revised and Ne
braska Will Again Take
Part.
BASKET BALL SCHEDULE

Lincoln, Dec. 9.-(Special.) BASE
ball will again take its place among
collegiate sports at Nebraska, Athletic
Manager Guy E. Reed announced
this afternoon, following his return
from Manhattan, where he and DR..
E. J. Stewart attended the Missouri
Valley conference meeting as the Ne
braska representatives.
The Huskers quit base ball as col
leg sport following the enactment of
the summer baseball rule, which it
was charged was not seriously lived
up to, but. which put the schools in
the attitude of falsifying the scholas-
tic standing of man by certifying they
had never played summer base ball.
This the Nebraska management re-
fused to do so the rule spelled the
doom of base ball. The rule was re-
vised at the conference meeting so
that Nebraska thletic authorities feel
justified in taking up the national pas
time again
Mr.. Reed announced he had ar
ranged a tentative schedule calls for
sixteen base ball games, seven of
which will be played in Lincoln.
Reed succeeded in arranging four
teen basket ball games for the Hus-
kers. The Kansas Aggies will open
in Lincoln, January l9 and 20; Ames
comes here February | and 2; Mis-
souri,, February 9 and 10, and Drake,
March g.
Nebraska plays the Jayhawkers at
Lawrence, FEBRUARY 10 and II, and
may play the Jayhawkers here in
March.
Other games away from home are
the Kansas Aggies. at Manhattan,
February IA and Is; Ames at Ames,
Februry p and %, and Drake at Des
Moines, February a.
: Nebraska's track schedule was also
definitely arranged by Reed with the
Huskers sending a team to the Drake
relay meet, April q, to Ames against
the Aggies, April %, Drake coming to
Lincoln for dual meet, May 5, and,
Minneapolis will be met at Minneap-
oils on May II. The Jayhawkers
come to Lincoln for the annualIdual
meet May 49,
Ames>gets the MissourIValley con-
ference meet, May 25 and 70, and the
Huskers will also be represented at
the Western conference meet, Junt
i and 2, at Madison.
Only two foot ball games have been
definitely arranged, Reed said, with
Missouri Valley Missouri on
November 10, in Lincoln, and Kansas
at Lawrence, November II.
Reed said the athletic field would
be converted into skating rink be-
fore the Christmas holidays.

District Soccer foot ball league comes
to a close this afternoon at Miller
park. when the Caledonians and
Townsends clash to decide the cham
pionship OF the city. The game will
start ats o'clock. -
The Caledonians now have slight
edge on the Townsends, having won
seven. lost one and drawn one game
The Townsends have won seven and
lost two. In points the Caledonians
lead by teh narrow margin Of one.
Neither team ranks a favorite in
today's conflict. The Townsends,
some assert, have a better technical
play, but the Caledonians team work
all year has been of the finished va
riety and the outcome is considered a
hfty-Afty proposition.
The winner of the game today will
earn possession of the c. L. Combs

Sophomores Quit
When Freshies Get
Big Lead Over Them

With the score Sc to "a against
them, Bellevue college sophomore de-
clined to go on with the Olympic
contests between them and the fresh
men which had been scheduled for
Saturday morning. The lightweight
wrestling and the light and heavy
weight boxing events won by the
freshmen Friday night, cinched the
meet for the first years mean, and as
victory in the class rush and the tug
o'-war on Saturday morning could
have raised their score to only forty
four points, the sophomores decided
not to 20 on with the Olympics.
Jhons, star foot ball man who had
been relied upon to do heavy work
for the second year men, injured his
leg, still sore from foot ball, while
practicing wrestling with Gustafson
Wednesday evening in the gym.

CREIGHTON FLOOR
FIVE STARTS WORK
First Basket Ball Practice Will
Be Held Monday, With
Twenty Candidates Out.
SCHEDULE SOME BIG GAMES

Basket ball practice starts at Creigh-
ton tomorrow
For the first time in the history
of the school candidates will turn out
to strive for places on floor FIVE.
But despite the fact that basket ball
is new sport for Creighton, Coach
Tommy Mills expects to tutor a quin-
tet that will be fully capable of hold
ing up the honors Of the Omaha in
stitution.
Twenty men have promised to turn
out for the inaugural practice tomor-
row. All Of them have had previous
experience, and some of them can be
rated as stars. Mills anticipates no
difficulty in rounding out formidable
team, and if he can get the men to
play together, believes the blue and
white quint will make every foe they
face hustle for honors.
Mills has six stars of proven worth
to work his team around. They are
Platz, Mulholland. Parrish, Klepser,
Lutes and Mccarthy.
Platz and Lutes are former Omaha
High school stars, and they also
played on the championship Brandeis
team last year. They have worked to-
gether for several years now, and it
is believed will be able to more than
hold their own at the guard positions.
George Parrish and Klepser played
with the Clarks in the Tri-city league
last year. Parrish also formerly played
with Omaha university. They are for
wards. Walter Mccarthy, who played
tackle on the gridiron squad, is a cen
ter. He played at Hastings college.
Eddie Mulholland, the diminutive
end on the foot ball team, is also
some basket ball sharp, according to
reports. In fact Eddie is so skillful
it is believed he will be chosen cap
tain of the team.
Election of a captain will not oc-
cur for a week or two yet. There
aren't any veterans to choose from
SO it was thought best to wait until
the squad had been practicing for
some time before selecting a leader.
But it is said Mulholland is a ia
vorite for the job, and will in all prob
ability be awarded it when election
day comes around.
Creighton expects to bust right into
the basket ball limelight with a good
schedule of games. Already negoti-
ations are under way to play games
with Notre Dame, Drake, Iowa, Ames,
Beloit, Nebraska Wesleyan, Univer-
Sity of Nebraska Sork and Duhu1ue

Gross Lightest
Center Playing
Game This Year

To Dan Gross, center of the Creigh-
ton foot ball eleven, falls the distinc-
ton of having been the highest cen
ter in college foot ball in 1916. For
some time this was disputed, as it was
claimed that Burns Of Georgetown
weighed less even than Gross. A let
ter from Washington received yester-.
day, however, gives Burns weight as
l59, while Gross weighs only $50.
1t has long been the popular be-
lief that a center must be made up
of beef in great quantities, Gross and
Burns, however, upset this theory,
Right along side and against men who
outweighed him forty or fifty pounds,
Gross held his own and played re-
markable foot ball in every game he
entered, and he played Creighton's
full schedule. He was in every con-
test every minute and at all times he
fought for all there was in him. This
made up for his deficiency in weight

Crete Will Have Strong
Basket Ball Team

Crete, Neb., Dec 9.-(Special.) J.
The Crete High school basket ball
team has been putting in some stiff
practice for some time now, and the
prospects seem to be for another fast
team, perhaps even faster than last
year. Len Frundell, who is this years
captain, is the only first team man
in the game this year, although about
fifteen of last years squad have re-
turned. Coach Squires has been ar
ranging a heavy schedule, games be
ing certain with Geneva, Beatrice,
Wilbur, University Place, Hastings
and State Farm.

WRITES OUT RULES BY WHICH
SHE WILL SHAPE HER CONDUCT
Fiifteen-Year-Old Virginia Girl Resolves
to Be Kind and Gentle and to
Avoid Bad Company.

How many girls, fifteen years old, or
of any age, for that matter, try not to be
vain?
to everybody even though they are cross
and unkind to me?'
How many have resolved mot to read
wicked novels or mot to be too fond of
lively times" or mot I'd associate with
bad company, nor go with a man unless
he goes to church and is really nice re-
spectacle MANI"
These are suggested by the RULES I
Intend to Observe which a little Virginia
girl fifteen years old has drawn up for
herself to follow, and 1t would seem from
the list itself. through which spirit Of
naive sincerity breathes, that little Miss
Bessie Virginia Moore will probably OBJ
serve her resolutions.
Her Home in Charlottesville.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Mary S.
Moore, who for several years has been
employed in one Of the government de-
partments. Her daughter lives with
other members of Mrs. Moore's family at
a country place near Charlottesville, Va.
Bessie recently wrote her mother let
ter and in it were her rules Of conduct. as
follows:
Go to church as often as 1 can.
Read a chapter in my Bible each day,
try and read some portion Of my prayer
book and some other nice book each day
also.
Not to neglect my prayers nights nor
mornings, not to hurry over them. Pray

Messenger Boys Adventure.

The story is recalled of one of the
boy on bicycle was pedaling along
toward the cable office. when he looked
around and saw big Zeppelin appar-
entity right behind him. The pIucky
little fellow put on more steam, but
when he looked around the second time
the Zepp was still there and, if any
thing, was gaining on him. He spurted
forward then with all the might In his
slim little legs. but the hum of the air
ships motors grew louder and louder
in his ears.
Then q great thought struck the boy
He hoped off his wheel, blew out the
light. and at the ve-y first turning
darted down a darkened side street
To his great relief, the Zepp gave up
Its terrifying personal pursuit and
kept straight TO its course over the
main highway. Triumphantly the mes
senger delivered his dispatches and
his hair-raising story of escape at the

different affairs from those of year
and more ago. Then the defenses Of

ships could loiter over their victims for
hours with little or no regard for their

hot reception soon after they cross
the coastline. and every foot of the r

bursting shraDnel and blazing incendi-
airy shells. AS to the effectiveness of
The defenses in the vicinity of London
il is known that of the five or six
Zeppelins which reached this district
m the raids of September and %
= three were brought down mass of
wreckage from the skies.
: Call for Better Defenses.
Press comment upon the latter raid
is generally in agreement that the
defenses must be so strengthened that
every enemy airship which crosses
from Germany must be destroyed. The
Daily Mail says the raids will be aban-
doned only when they are made too
risky for the Zeppelins and when the
enemy airships are attacked not only
after reaching the British coast, but
when crossing the sea"
AS to terrifying Londoners, it can
truthfully be said that the most COM
mon comment heard upon the streets
the day after the last raid was this:
Yes. 1 heard the guns, but didn't
get up"
