Coach McMaster Tells of Cross
Country Prospects at Nebraska
Coach McMaster of the Nebraska
cross-country squad is an old Ne
braska man at cross-country running
and is therefore a real authority on
he history and prospects of cross
country at Nebraska. The following
article was written by Coach Mc
Master and portrays cross-country
work at Nebraska in a very clear
way:
In the past few years, jhe sport of
cross-country running has not been
given the prominence in the Univer
sity of Nebraska, that it has had in
the days gone by. In the years prior
to 1912, when Dr. Clapp had charge
cf the cross-country, anice squad of
men reported, and a team that was
always a runner-up for the Missouri
Valley campionship resulted. Men
like Louie Anderson starred In this
sport, standing out as high lines in
the history of the sport at Nebraska.

Often Valley Leaders.
At various times the chami ionship
of the Valley has rested with Ne
braska. Beginning with about 1912,
Guy Reed had charge of the snort
and under his direction a number of
good men were developed and a
credible team represented the school.
However, Mr. Reed was manager of
athletics, and a great deal of his
time was required for football in the
peiiod of the year when much time in
cross-country is needed. For that
reason, the men 1 rained by them
selves to a large extent and the in
terest, in the sport greatly decreased
until about 1915, which was the last
year that Nebraska had a cross
country team. During the war no
attempt was made to place a team in
the Valley competition, and the in
terest in the sport was dormant during
that period.

Prospects Are Great
Cornhusker Squad Will Participate
In Practice Games Early
in the Season.
About twenty-five men reported for
basketball yesterday afternoon. Coach
Schlssler drilled his ,men on the
various shots and on fioorwork. He
is well pleased with the showing
made by the men. Last year's letter
men showed their usual efficiency and
several new men also are showing up
well. Stiff setting up exercises were
given at the close of practice.
There will probably be one or two
practice games played before the first
scheduled battle. There is some
chance of the Huskers meeting either
Wesleyan pr Omaha University a
week from next Friday. Coach
Schissler will have to drill his men
to the utmost in order to have them
in the proper condition and training
for the Eastern trip. This trip comes
early in the season from January 2 to
7, and the Huskers will battle some
of the strongest teams in the Big Ten.
Prospects Are Rosy.
Nebraska has a chance to develop
the best basketball quintet this year
that has ever represented the schooL
They have games scheduled with the
strongest teams in the Big Ten and
Missouri Valley conferences. Last
year the Huskers went through the
season practically undefeated. The
team this year should be as good, if
not better than last year's five, be
cause the old squad is nearly intact
and the men have the benefit of hav

quality of American tools and mechan

is frequently heard that American
goods rank first in quality but are
somewhat higher in price than the
same type of goods from the United

United States now ranks first in the
trade in metal manufactures as a
whole. Before th; war Germany
ranked first, the United Kingdom sec

States has long held a foremost
place, but before the war the imports
from Germany were practically three
times as large as those from America.
Now, however, the United States has
swung into first place. During re
