The Missouri Valley basketball
race has evolved at least for the pres
ent into a match between the Kan
sas, Nebraska and Washington cag
sters. The three top-placers drew
further away from the crowd as the
result of last week's games and will
probably retain their positions there
for a time.
Washington fell from a tie in first
place to a tie in second place after
Kansas defeated Ames. The Jay
hawks stepped out a few points in
front but have three games this week J
which will test their fitness for the
position. They meet Grinnell, Wash
ington, and Missouri.
Nebraska has one remaining game
this week before starting on a trip,
which includes Kansas, Washington,
and Missouri, the three leading con
tenders for the title. The jaunt will
be a stiff one and the standings after
that will be interesting to note.
The Kansas Jayhawks, leading the
conference, won from Ames with lit
tle trouble Monday night, 33 to 18.
The leaders are slated to meet Grin
nell tonight, Washington Friday, and
Missouri Saturday. The Washington
team will stack up against them on
their home court in a game which will
probably decide whether Washington
will remain in the race or not. At
present the Pikers and the Cornhusk
ers are on even terms.
Washington has a week of rest be
tween two hard games, Kansas and
Nebraska. They stand third in of
fensive and second in defensive work
and are in a tie for second place in
the standings.
Missouri elevated its position from
seventh to third by defeating the
Kansas Aggies Monday night. The
Tigers won by a 28-24 score, dispos
ing of the Aggies only after a hard
fight. Missouri meets Kansas, Grin
nell, and Nebraska this week and
next.
Kansas Aggies and Grinnell are
tied for fourth place. Both teams
lost games Monday night and now
stand on a fifty-fifty basis, although
the Aggies have played eight games
and the Pioneers only six.
Drake and Ames, the Iowa schools,
and Oklahoma are footing the list.
The Sooners dropped to fifth place
after their defeat at the hands.of the
Cornhuskers last Saturday, but still
have a chance to come back into the
running. Drake and Ames, however,
fan ontertjiin fpw hones. Ames has
lost ten games.

"Doc" McLean Known to Athletes
Because of Readiness to Give Attention
"Thanks very much. That feels a
lot better." This came from a Notre
nHm athlete at the Kansas City Ath
letic Club meet Saturday night, af
ter "Doc" McLean, Husker trainer,
had "fixed up" an injury received in
the meet. But it could have come
from most any athlete there, because
they all know "Doc" McLean of Ne
braska. "Doc Mack" has been giving
attention to athletes of other schools
when they request it, just as the
Husker athletes have been receiving
expert care in the past three seasons.
One man, a Kansas runner, had re
ceived a bad "spill" on the board
track and the Husker trainer was
called upon to care for his injuries.
That was last spring, and Dr. Mc
Lean became known throughout the
Jayhawker athletic squad. Since then
he has received many calls and has
given his services gladly.
If a man receives some injury,
thev call on the Husker trainer. Sat
urday night he was as much in de
mand by athletes from other schools
Sports in commenting on the appoint
ment of Ernest E. Bearg of Illinois
head football coach at Nebraska. An
expression of confidence that Mr.
Bearg will ably fill the position left
by Mr. Dawson is tempered with the
statement that "Mr. Dawson, who has
turned out many champions, will be
hard to replace, bub at the same time
Mr.-Bearg has no mean record be
hind him."
Wrestling as an intercollegiate
port is growing tremendously and
. i
promises to run tne long-popuiar
basketball a close run for popularity,
according to the Big Ten Weekly.
The reason for the popularity of the
mat sport is perhaps the tainted qual
ities of professional and commercial-
zed wrestling.
Valley Sports
Coach Ossie Solem of Drake is re
newing Drake's basketball hopes this
week. The Bulldogs will have had a
ten-day rest before they meet Okla
homa at Des Moines, February 12
With the eligibility of Harry Eilcrs
former Des Moines high school star
the second semester, the Drake team
was strengthened considerably and
thpir mentor believes that a new
brand of playing will be seen from
ncrv on.
Preston Lawless is another second
string Bulldog who is showing up
well. Lawless replaced Captain Jack
Snarks at ruard and looks like good
material. Captain Sparks completed
his three years of Valley competition
at the end of the last semester and
will be succeeded by Art Ashby, an
other euard. elected by his team
mates to lead the Bulldogs.
In an effort to retain the famous
Drake Relavs at the Des Moines
school, Des Moines business men and
alumni and students of Drake are
uniting in building a new stadium.
Work will begin on the new athletic
bowl immediately after the Relays
this year, on April 24 and 25.
Professional wrestling as con
trolled by the trust is believed by the
Big Ten Weekly to be the absolute
zero in sport. "But intercollegiate
and amateur' wrestling is a great
innrt At many Biir Ten meets it
is not uncommon to see crowds at the
meets almost equal to those at bas
ketball games."
The new Nebraska coach has
turned out several Illinois tennis
stars as well as football men. and is
a competent tutor in all sports. His
work is confined to the backfield,
and combined with that of Coach
Henry F. Schulte on the line, ought
to' produce a dangerous Cornhusker
machine.
"The Big Ten is the loser and the
Valley is the winner!" So says a re
cent issue of the Miss.jri Valley
as he was by his own men. His activ
ities ranged from the rubbing of sore
muscles to the treatment of bruises
and open wounds. He has been
called upon to give attention to both
athletes and coaches. The Missouri
track coach had a pain in his shoul
der, so Dr. McLean offered his 'serv
ices. A high school athlete had dis
regarded training diet and as a re
sult was sick after a race. Dr. Mc
Lean was called.
When he first offered his services
to Nebraska, Dr. McLean came to fill
the place of Jack Best. For the past
six years his time has been spent in
connection with the State Hospital.
He works with the Husker athletes
because he enjoys it. Before that
time he was connected with a large
hospital in New York City.
His work with the Nebraska ath
letes has brought him distinction
throughout the scope of Husker com
petition, and he is known and held in
esteem by all athletes of the Valley.
He is not only giving expert atten
tion to the athletes, but he is build
ing up a true hospitable spirit for the
University of Nebraska among her
competitors.

Good news for all
lovers of graphic pie
Graphic pie enough to satisfy the hunger
of a life-time ; no end of graphic mountains
to scale and toboggan down. That's what
the man who loves to analyze graphs and
statistical symbols can look forward to
when he comes with the electrical industry. -
Economic studyis oneof many branches
in this broad field. If you have thought
of electricity as limited to engineers, this
other side of the picture will interest you.
The commercial organization with its
problems of distributing, selling, adver
tising; the manufacturing end with its
opportunity for trained technical men ; the
legal and accounting branches all this
and more totals electrical industry.
It may pay you to keep this in mind
against graduation.
