ATHLETES On the evening of December 18, Governor Morehead of Lincoln gave a spread at the Lindell Hotel to the athletes of the Sophomore class. The prowess of these athletes is receiving universal recognition and Governor Morehead predicted a brilliant future for Cotner. Special mention was made of several of the fellows. It was predicted that as ai guard, Pete Witham would eclipse' the brilliant work of Bell and that Darner resembled Norgren in his ability to throw baskets from almost impossible angles. Many complimentary remarks were di- rected to one member of the team, in particular, who promises to be- come a renowned citizen of the United States. After the eight course luncheon at the close of the last speech, the boys gave three long- rousing cheers for the governor, who had so royally entertained them. 1 6'S CHOOSE OFFICIALS Saturday afternoon the Fresh- men met and elected the following officers. Pres., Orville Johnsong V. Pres., Clyde Darnerg Sec., Mar- garetta McCrayg Treas., John Oeschger. The time was well chosen for other classes would have been im- possible amid the howls and gen- eral disorder. FRESHIES VS. SOPHS In the interclass B. B. game the 16's overcame the 15's by a score of 25 to 12. The defeated showed a lack of practise and experience although they put up a plucky fight. FRESHIES 11, SENIORS 41 13's won an easy game from un- derclassmen. FRESHMEN LOSE DEBATE TO SOPHS The 16's put up a team of com- ing debaters but succeeded in get- ting only one of the judges. WATER TOWER ESCAPADE On Wednesday morning about 5:30 several of the bravest mem- bers of the class were seen climb- ing the water tower. Much time and energy was spent in decorat- ing the tank with 1-9-1-6. After- ward the class enjoyed a bounte- ous breakfast at McCray's. The next day they discovered there was an eight instead of a six. HAPPY My EVENT CELE- BRATED After the game Thursday even- ing the Sophs and Seniors follow- ing the direction of Conley reached the home of Floss Strain. Old- fashioned games were indulged in, each class vied with the other in trying to make things appear live- ly. The afair was a success, con- sidering the fact that both the defeated and defeating teams were present. Oyster stew was much in evidence and every one de- parted tired out. Strange to say, only half of the bunch wished that the evening's performance might be repeated. -50.. PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT STARTED A new movement has been started among the young men of the Soph- omore class which will probably be followed by them next year. Here- tofore the ladies have been allowed to attend the social functions un- escorted. Brumbaugh and Funck are the originators of a little plan by which a scratch list will be used. This will do away with any embarrassment that might arise from two fellows asking the same girl. Certain members of the fac- ulty are urging the adoption of this plan as a necessary fart of col- lege training. JOHNSON WINS FIRST PLACE In the oratorical contest held in the chapel Tuesday evening Or- ville Johnson amazed the entire audience with his marvelous pow- ers of oratory. His unexcelled eloquence outclassed that of all other participants and first honors were awarded him.
