BADGERS DEFEAT IOWA QUINTET BY 28 TO 19 SCORE

Wisconsin Team Wins Easy Victory Over Hawkeyes On Madison Floor

RESULTS NEVER IN DOUBT

Finlayson, Olson and Brown Chief Point Getters for the Iowa Team

   Iowa lost the second game of its recent trip Monday night when the Wisconsin five surprised fandom by trouncing their visitors easily in a score of 28 to 19.
   At no time was the result of the contest in doubt. Evidently the hard battle against Minnesota Saturday, was too much for Bannick's men, because they were outclassed by the poorest basketball team in the conference. The Badgers started things off with a rush the moment that the whistle blew and took an early lead. During the first half they maintained almost a two to one count over the Hawkeyes. The initial period ended with the score 13 to 7 in favor of the Madison cred.

   When the second frame opened, Iowa began to play a far better game. Team work and passing aided the Old Gold team to narrow the margin in the scores but the big handicap was too much for the visitors and they were unable to get into the lead. Captain Berrien again failed to start for Iowa, but was substituted for Cotton before the game was over. Finlayson, with four baskets to his credit, was the chief point getter for the Hawkeyes. Olson made a basket and Brown scored five points from the foul line out of ten attempts.

   Captain Zulpher, center, was the start of the Badger team, with six field goals the result of his brilliant shooting.

NURSES DISCUSS IMPORTANT TOPICS

Red Cross Instruction Should Be Taught By Others Than School Nurse

   The Nurses' institute opened Monday under the auspices of the extension division, with an attendance of sixteen delegates. Previous to the lecture of O. E. Klingaman, director of the extension division, the visitors were conducted on a visit over the University in the afternoon.
   Infant care was discussed by Gyda Bates of Cedar Rapids at Tuesday's meeting. The afternoon's program was composed of three addresses on bacteriology, public health agencies and sanitation, given in the medical laboratory by Prof. Henry Albert, Dr. D. C. Steelsmith, and Dr. J. H. Hamilton.
   In his address before the convention, Wednesday morning, W. F. Russell, dean of education, defined teaching as, "changing a person from what he is into what he ought to be." Sarah A. Howell told of the possibilities for a nurse in social work while serving patrons.
   "Who pays the bill for hiring a school nurse? Is her salary paid by the school board or does it come out of a contingent fund? Is she a teacher or a janitor?" These were questions put by Emma C. Wilson, which elicited many opinions regarding the duties of the Red Cross nurse, the public health nurse and others. Miss Wilson declared there was a demand for Red Cross instruction but some one beside the school nurse should teach the Red Cross instruction.
   The balance of the program consists of addresses by Minnie H. Ahrens, director central division of the bureau of nursing; Mary D. Gaston, school nurse, Cedar Rapids; Jettie Stahl, school nurse, Iowa City; Dlly Twitchell, associate director of the bureau of nursing; Laura Chennel, University nurse; Nellie Stoner Parks, assistant principal nurses' training school; and Helen S. Hartley, Des Moines.

   The Y. M. C. A. cabinet will meet at a luncheon in the Burkley hotel today at twelve o'clock. Important details will be discussed.
   The following new members were initiated: Viola Kleinwort, Beatrice Gates, Jenny Parr, Juliette McIntosh, Cledah Wright, Ruth Huntington, Marcia McKee, Lillian Dettoff, Florence Meldrin, and Marcella Lindeman.
   Prof. E. D. Starbuck will read a paper on "Education and Democracy" at the meeting of the Political Science club Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the liberal arts drawing room.
   Carl Wigdohl, freshman pre-medic is sick at the University hospital.

COMMUNITY SINGING WILL BE FEATURE OF SUNDAY VESPERS

Audience Will Participate In Program--Miss Cooper Helps Direct Chorus

MRS. STARBUCK TO SPEAK

Service to Be Entirely Musical, With Numbers By the Choir and Orchestra

   Community singing will be emphasized at the University vespers in the natural science auditorium Sunday afternoon.
   Sufficient copies of song books will be provided for everybody to participate. Miss Bertha Cooper of the school of music will assist the choir in leading the choruses.

Opens Program
   The University orchestra, under the direction of Dr. O. E. Van Doren, will open the service with Braham's "On an Autumn Day.' This will be followed by the singing of "America" with orchestral accompaniment.
   The Rev. Herbert L. Searles, student pastor of the Presbyterian church, will deliver the invocation. Prof. W. E. Hays will direct the vesper choir composed of seventy-five members, including both the Men's and Women's Glee clubs, in an anthem, "Send Out Thy Light," by Gounod.

Why We Sing
   Mrs. Anna Diller Starbuck will give a short talk on "Community Singing," pointing out the reasons why group singing is gaining prominence throughout the United States and more especially in the west where music has developed more slowly. Community singing is said to express the new feeling of democracy more than any other medium, and binds us in a closer relation to our neighbors.
   The War Camp Community service proposes community singing as a preparation of the nation-wide jubilee in celebration of the anniversary of Peace Day. The committee in charge of Vespers has decided to encourage the sings, and Sunday's program is designed to stimulate further interest.

PROFESSOR NUTTING COMPLETES LECTURES

   "Our stay in the English harbor in the West Indies was the most interesting spot that we were in," said Prof. C. C. Nutting in his lecture last night in the natural science auditorium.
   He told of collections of animals which were collected by using electric lights to attract them. They visited a cave which had never been explored and found thousands of bats.
   This is the last of a series of lectures which Professor Nutting has been giving in the auditorium. However, he expects to receive 7,000 feet of films soon which will cover the trip.

CERTIFICATES ARE HERE
   Certificates for membership in the senior division of the R. O. T. C. have arrived at the military department and students who wish to sign the contract with the government for the senior division may do so by calling at the military department.
CAPT. LANE,

ENGINEERS WORK ON SPRING PLAY
   "Safe at the Colleges" will be the annual production offered by the engineers this spring. The parts have been assigned and practice has begun.
   According to the author of the production, features in singing and vaudeville will be presented with the play this year. The cast will consist of Dethlefs, Boynton, Maruth ,Stanton, Gallaher, Wright, Rich, Hohl and Schenck.

MUMMA TO DISCUSS MILITARY PLANS
Will Speak to Discharged Officers and R. O. T. C. This Afternoon
   Col. Morton C. Mumma, who has returned to the University to take charge of the military department, will speak this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the natural science auditorium to all members of the R. O. T. C., all discharged officers and men, and every student who is in any way interested in military activities.
   A strong desire to meet at this time every man who wore the uniform during the recent national crisis, has been expressed by the colonel, who will emphasize above all other things, the necessity and splendid possibility of cooperation between the department and those men who have been in the service.
   “It is up to the men of the University either to make or break the military future of the school,” stated Col. Mumma, “and I am here to see that they make it. I am detailed here for a period of four years by the war department, and I desire to stay as long as it permits me. My first object is to lay the foundations this year for the largest, best, and most efficient military organization that Iowa has ever had.”
   The senior section of the R. O. T. C. will be fully explained and plans for the summer encampment will be outlined. The R. O. T. C. may be more than an infantry school, according to the colonel. In his lecture today, he intends to outline his plans for the installation of an artillery unit, both coast and field, a calvary unit, an engineering unit, and an infantry unit, in the military department.
   Capt. A.L. Lane who has been at the head of the military department, pending the arrival of Col. Mumma, is to be retained as a chief assistant.

FOURTEEN WILL COMPETE IN PRELIMINARY TRYOUT
   The University oratorical contest will be held March 4 instead of Feb. 27 as has been announced before, but all orations must be in on or before Feb. 17.
   Fourteen speakers are now in line to compete for the honor of representing the University at the N.O.L. contest, which will be held at Oberlin college May 2.
   The preliminary will be in the natural science auditorium Feb. 27. Each of the fourteen competitors will be allowed four minutes to give the best part of his oration. From the preliminary, six or eight persons will be chosen for the final contest.
   Contrary to a previous announcement, there will be no Hamilton [ratorical] contest this year. The department of public speaking has not received any information from the Hamilton club at Chicago.

ATHLETIC BOARD WOULD STIMULATE INTEREST IN TRACK
“I” Club Hopes to Get Results Equal to Success of Last Year’s Mixer
JUSTIN CITED AS EXAMPLE
Watson Urges Men to Try Out Regardless of Number Competing
   Under the auspices of the “I” club of the University a track mixer to promote interest in that sport was held last night at the armory.
   As a part of a definite policy of the athletic board this gathering was of the same order as the mixer held last spring which brought out the material that later made up the successful track team of 1918. Among the speakers last night were Director Howard Jones, Trainer Jack Watson, Chairman H. J. Prentiss, and Lawrence Dutton, a former captain of the track team.
   Wrestling and Boxing .. ..
   Scores of ice cream cones were devoured at the close of the meeting. Wrestling matches and a boxing bout furnished further entertainment.
   The importance of getting together in a mixer men interested in track was forcibly demonstrated last spring when the first state champion track team was developed after twelve years of comparative inactivity. In the spring of 1917 there were only about twenty-five men out for practice. As a result of a rousing mixer held late last winter 176 men turned out for the track squad of 1918. The success of this team in taking the state meet at Des Moines is testimony to the advisability of holding these [miers].
   Good Team Hoped For
   If the mixer last night brings out as much good “green” material as last spring’s meeting, a winning freshman and varsity team is assured, according to the board. The case of Raymond Justin, Iowa’s star dash man, is an example of the effect of these mixers. Justin had never worn a track suit or a pair of spikes before, but he came out for spring practice and made a reputation for himself and for the University. All men in school whether they have receive special invitations to do so or not are urged to try the 1919 track team if they think they possess any natural ability.
   Members of the “I” club composed the committee which had charge of the mixer. Glenn Greenwood, captain of this year’s team, was chairman of the committee, made up of the following men: Herman Holliday, Raymond Justin, Allan Wallen, Bruce McDowell, Ernest Wahl, Charles Mockmore, Richard Young, L.D. Killinger, Lowell Smith, Leon Brigham, and Harold Stoner.
   The track schedule for the coming season is as follows:
   March 8--Quadrangle meet at Ames.
   March 29--Conference meet at Chicago.
   April 26--Coe or Cornell here.
   Sometime before April 11 home meet.
   May 3--Open.
   May 17--Ames here.
   May 24--State meet.
   June 7--Conference meet at Chicago.

   Dora Ohde and Ruth Rogers will spend Saturday in Cedar Rapids.
