JIMMY BEST WILL BE
SENT ON A VACATION
Trcphies to be Purchased For the
Championship Track Team
and Grid Squad Last Lear
Action taken by the "N"' club Mon
day resulted in a decision to adopt
the student manager system at the
University of Nebraska, a motion to
secure trophies for the' championship
track team of 1921 and th? foot ball
team of 1921-22, and a plan to carry
on a campaign to send Jimmy Best
on a vacation.
The adoption of the student man
ager system is one of the most im
portant steps ever taken by the stu
dents of the university of Nebraska.
When all of the details of this plan
have been worked out there will be
a chance for every student to qualify
for one of the positions created uniler
this system.
The money required to" purchase the
trophies for the track and foot ball
teams will be secured through charg
ing a nominal entrance fee to all in-
tra-mural 'athletic events. The two
teams represent the true Nebraska
ideals and prowess in athletics and
the fact that there have so far been
no trophies to commenorate the rec
ord hung up .by these extraordinary
artists of the cinder path and the
gridiron.
The plan to send Jimmy Best on a
vacation will give every student in
the university an opportunity to help
preserve the best tradition that Ne
braska has on her campus. For a
longer time than most of the alumni
of the university of Nebraska can re
member Jimmy has been faithfully
on the job. He has trained the most
famous athletes that Nebraska has
ever turned out and remembers them
all. He has been connected with the
athletic activities of the university
ever since the university first entered
athletic activities. In nany ways
Jimmy has been responsible for the
victories that Nebraska has piled up
in past seasons on the gridiron track
and cage.
Boxes will be placed on various
parts of the campus where each stu
dent may contribute as much as he
cares to pay the expenses of sending
Nebraska's "Grand old Man" on a
vacation.

Relays
The University of Nebraska track
team made an excellent showing at
the Drake relays at Des Moines last
Friday and Saturday, their perform
ance being surpassed only by that of
the Illinois and Kansas cinder-path
athletics. The outstanding achieve
ment of the Cornhusker tracksters
was winning the quarter-mile relay,
which the Husker 4iO team. (Capt. Ed

who represented Nebraska in the dis
cuss throw, placed well.
In this event, Weller, holder of the
Valley record, placed second with a
toss of better than 132 feet. On his
last tnrow, the big Husker made a
record toss, but he touched the line
of the circle and the heave was disal
lowed. Moulton won fourth honors
in the discus.
The Scarlet and Cream athletes
first came into the limelight in the
relays when the quartermile relay
was run. Dave Deering. Husker lead
off man, ran a pretty race, and held
his own well. Lukens, who followed
him, stepped off the 110 yards in fast
time, and was slightly in the lead
when he handed the baton to Dave
Noble, 'third man. Noble increased
the lead considerably, and Captain
Smith, anchor man, finishing with a
burst of speed, won by a margin of
twenty feet. The Huskers won this
race in three-fifths of a second faster
than the Notre Dame team, the vic
tors in the other division. The teams
were divided into two sections be
cause of the large number of univer
sities entered. The quartet of win
ning Huskers were awarded gold med
als. Nebraska placed a good second in
the mile relay race. The Cornhusker
quarter-milers, Layton, Bechord, Ted
Smith and Hawkins, ran a fast 4i0
and the Huskers were a close second
to the victorous Illinois team, which
broke the Drake relays record by fin
ishing in 3:30 2-5.

Rumors of organization of the arts
and science students which have been
floating about the campus during the
past week are entirely correct. The
largest college in the university is to
be organized at last. Though the

of co-cperaiion on the part of the
studecs. This final attempt is pre
dicted ty al! persons who have an
inkling of the methods to be used,
to be a compb-te success.
LIMIT TIME FOR CO-ED
BASEBALL PRACTICES
Girls! You have until Friday. May
5, to get in your ten required base
ball practises. The list of practises
to date is posted in the gym. Check
over the list. If you find you have
only a few, why, just practise a little
oftene-r, thats all. From now on there
will be an out-door practise at four
o'clock.
The girls have some new balls now.
They are real balls too. They don't
turn into oblong hunks every time
they are batted. Its real tun to play
with them. Come on girls, get in
the rest of your practises with the
new ball.
Its not too late to start to practise
now, if you have no practises to your
credit, because only two a day are
credited. There is a possibility of
making eight practises this week yet,
so there is no excuse for the girl who
started in the sport, not to have a
chance to make her class team. The
very best sluggers will be the ones
chosen to uphold their clas honor in
the final series to be held soon.
