The high school boys are also 60
ing to have an opportunity to see the
Husker athletes in action. The annual
wrestling tournament between the
Aggies and Huskers comes Saturday
afternoon at the university gymna-
SUM. Iowa fell victim to both Ne
braska and Ames, but the Aggie squad
is the more experienced.
In addition Nebraska and Ames will
play two basket ball games-one Fri
day night and the other Saturday
night. The Huskers fell before the
Farmers on their own floor and have
a score to even here.
Playing starts promptly Wednes-
day afternoon and an effort will be
made to reach the semi-fnals late
Friday evening or early Saturday.
University athletics have been
forced into the background by the
demands of the high school tourna-
ment upon the time Of the Husker
authorities. Spring track work is
proceeding under favorable weather
conditions, but base ball has Jagged.
With the tournament out of the
way, Coaches Stewart and Reed plan
to inaugurate busy season of work.
The basket ball men will be called
together and arrangements completed
for the squads practice. Spring foot
ball work will also occupy the at
tention OF DR.. Stewart, who antici-
pates he will have the largest squad
in recent years. Stew-rt wants to
keep his foot bali men training un-
til the weather becomes 90 torrid and
he will introduce special course OF
training, which will tighten the work
next iall.

CREIGHTON TURNS
TRICK ON IOWANS
Blue and White Flippers Win
From Drake Quintet by
Al to 20 Count.
LUTEs IS THE BIG FACTOR

The Creighton basket fippers kept
up their string OF victories at the ex-
pense Of the Drake university team
at the Creighton gym. last night by
the score OF Al to %. The big con-
ference team seemed unable TO hit
their stride, and after the first FIVE
minutes of play the outcome was
never in doubt. During this period
Drake took the lead for the first and
only time OF the contest.
Lutes and Kearney opened the
game with field goal each, and Haw-
ley, the speedy Drake forward, tied
up the count with two more. Lutes
put Creighton back in the lead with
free throw, but Drake came back
and took the lead on beautiful shot
by Eddy from the center of the floor.
Platz annexed field goal and from
then on the Blue and White squad
were never headed.
The game was void of thrills and
was not as interesting to the follow
ers OF the game as the contest Of the
night before. The fans expected a
closer contest and were somewhat
disappointed at the. showing of the
Drake quintet. The Creighton team
did not play up to the standard set
by them in previous games, and it is
difficult to see how the squad they
trouneed last night could have handed
them a 38-to-27 defeat only few
weeks ago. The Mills aggregation
were going at top speed until they
found themselves far in the lead, and
from then on played an indifferent
game. After the regulars had an
nexed comfortable margin the Blue
and White second team were sent into
the fray.
Lutes, the big guard, playing a
classy floor game and caging six field
goals, was the big factor in the un-
doing OF the Iowans, although Kear-
ney was close behind him with five
field goals, Hawley easily carries off
the Drake honors with his five field
/ goals and his clever floor game.
The game last night wound up
Creighton's schedule for the week,
with victories over Wesleyan, Bran
deis and Drake. Next week will see
Wesleyan and Brandeis on the
Creighton floor on Wednesday and
Saturday, and there is a possibility
that the Trinity team, who recently
defeated Dubuque, will be here on
Thursday. Lineup:

MAXINE ELLIOTT
HAS BIC ROLE IN
FIGHTING ODDS
THE MEGRUE-CoBB PRODUCTION
GIVES NOTED BEAUTY REAL
ACTING PART.

In presenting Maxine Elliott as the
star in its big photodrama, Fighting
Odds,- written especially for her by
Roi Cooper Megrue and Irwin S. Cobb
and which is the attraction at the
Apollo theatre Thursday, Goldwyn
has carried out the expressed wish
| of the famous beauty herself.
When Miss Elliott returned to
America from the battle fields OF
western Europe to become a star in
Goldwyn Pictures and make her de-
but on the screen, she expressed at
once a desire to be cast for an emo
| tional role in which the dramatic, ele-
ment was uppermost.
81 do not feel like playing in so
ciety comedy OF any of the lighter
roles with which / have been identi-
fed" she said.
She desired particularly to get away
from drawing 0 roles, which she
believed exploited her beauty at the
expense Of her dramatic ability, She
felt that she had gained during her
experience in the great human strug-
gle in Europe a deeper appreciation
of the drama, and she felt that in this
direction she could do the best work
of her career.
Accordingly, Fighting Odds" was
prepared for her, providing her with
an emotional opportunity to display
her wonderful dramatic talents with
out in the least s~ubordinating her
beauty. 1t will be seen in this produc-
ton that she did not overestimate her
own powers, for she probably has
never done more distinctive work as
an actress.
In Fighting Odds" the famous
beauty of the stage, now of the screen,
is seen as the wife of a millionaire
manufacturer in a busy industrial city
in a story which tells of the struggle
of a woman TO outwit the powerful
enemies seeking the destruction of her
husband. AS the title indicates, it is
a struggle of a woman against great
odds, against the financial powers of
the country. Her only resources are
her beauty and charm. The biggest
figure in Wall Street falls before these
attributes.
In all her many successes it is
doubtful if Miss Elliott ever had a
role which made greater claims upon
her dramatic talent. She at times ex-
presses the very depths of sorrow
and again rises supremely to the
heights of emotional citation.
To this role Miss Elliott brings not
only an exquisite beauty and majestic
carriage, but also a wonderful tenn
mime sweetness which gains at once
the sympathy of the onlooker. 1t is
a beauty and sweetness ripened by
maturity and expressing the depths OF
feeling of a soulful woman
Miss Elliott is supported by Charles
Dalton and Henry Give. both dis
tinguished actors, among a well-bal-|
anced cast. AS the director of the
production, Allen Dwan has upheld
the Goldwyn reputation for distinc.
tiveness and individuality.

WHY DO YOU KEEP cows?
Pertinent Questions Asked Farmers
BY State Livestock Specialist.

The dairyman keeps cows to con
vert the cheap roughage of his farm
into milk and butter to sell, and into
manure to keep up the fertility of his
land
The beefman keeps cows to convert
the cheap roughage of his farm into
calves to sell, and into manure to keep
up the fertility of his land.
The dairyman should keep cows,
such as Holsteins, Jerseys, etc, that
are efficient producers OF dairy
products
The beefman should keep cows, such
as Shorthorns, Herefords, Angus, ETC..
that produce good calves.
The dairyman should breed his cows
to a dairy-bred bull. The beefman
should breed his cows to a beef-bred
bull.
Purebred bulls should always be
used. High-grade cows are as econom-
ical producers of milk or beef as pure
breds.
: purebred bull will increase the
value of the calf crop $40 per calf,
or $500 per year. for herd of 80 COWS.

The fact that in many places

LOOK OUT FOR
THE FIFTH YEAR.
"This Is the Danserroint in Mar
riage" says Cosmo Hamilton.

Il have written my new story
The Turning Point" says Cosmo
Hamilton, famous English author
and playwriter, for the young
husbands and wives of America,
and | hope all young husbands
and wives will read it,"
Mr.. Hamilton is now over in
this country looking after the pro-
duction of some of his new plays,
having received special furlough
from army duty for this purpose.
With his plays he brought several
short stories for the American
public, one of which THE Turn
ing Point" is to appear this month
in Hearst's Magazine. Mr.. Ham,
ilton, himself, is particularly in
terested in this story because it is
not entirely fiction but deals with
one of the real problems of our
age-marriage and divorce.
Il am hurting this story ont
like a hand grenade" says Mr..
Hamilton and l hope it bursts. "
It is the story of a young hus-
band who in the fifth year OF
marriage suddenly comes up
against one of natures danger
spots. He is a very decent fell
low kind, generous, loving and
loyal. His wife is a charming
girl, beautiful and inspired to
motherhood. Yet they come to
the very edge of separation and
divorce. 1t takes staggering
surprise to open the man't eyes
to his one glazing fault, which is
the cause of it ala fault, Incl
dentally, which Mr.. Hamilton be-
lieves is very common among hus-
bands.
"The Turning Point" is being
published in Hearst's Magazine

summer seasons each section is
looked after by a force of from
ten to twelve men. The use of
the right-of-way for gardens
would enable several hundred
families to have vegetables during
the summer and, in many instan-
ces, the gardens along the right
of-way will be the only reliance
these forces will have for garden
truck. The land has never been
in cultivation, and along some
stretches of the road should bring
splendid results.
The orders are to the effect that
section men and other mainten-
ance of way employees may cult
vate the land wherever such Gull
tiyation does not interfere with
the operations of the road. That
such an order will be the means
of reducing the high cost of living
to several hundred families is ap-
