evening at 7 o'clock in the gal
lery. The schedule as far as it has
been completed will be announced
by Captain Egfrers, coach of tVe IIus-
ker shooters. Practice hours will be
assigned to candidates and team
members. One of the questions to
come up will probably be election of
a enptain.
Thirty-nine schools have accepted
Cartain Egger's challenge to fire
against the Husker team. They in
clude the best rifle teams in the
country. Teams from southern
states where squirrel-shooting devel
ops expert riflemen will again appear
on the schedule. Many Nebraska de
feats have been at the hands of these
southern student marksmen.
The new Springfield magazine-fed
rifles which were added to the gal
lery last fall are being reserved for
the intercollegiate team. With these
new rifles in the hands of a group
of the most promising marksmen in
the last three or four years, the Ne
braska team may make a season re
cord season.
Firing in the temporary gallery is
slow this year on account of the lack
of target carriers which are used to
convey the targets to and from the
firing point by means of pulley and
cords. The shortage makes necessary
a detail system of firing. At the
end of about five or ten minutes of
shooting, the signal is given to cease
firing. Every one then s.oes forward
to get his target and hang a new one.
The ground floor location and ad
dition of extra equipment including
new rifles, better ammunition, and
fatigue clothing, has made the gal
lery more popular this year than ever
before.
The gallery is reserved certain
hours each day for the members of
the Women's Athletic Association.
Unusual interest in the sport bos
been shown this year by the women
students. Usually there are not
enough firing points to accommodate
them alL
One feature of the intercollegiate
rulet, it a plain "bust." That is, the
intercoleriate wrestling rules. To
speed up the match, and keep out as
much as possible, the stalling for
time that bet been experienced in
intercollegiate rules,
! the new system in use in the Valley
requires that the wrestlers go back
on the mat with the same hold with
which they rolled off and under the
ropes The old plan was to allow
them to come back with the (man
with the advantage placed behind his
opponent.
This also sounds well, but beyond
that, amounts to more than soft mu
sic, as we have said before. To
break, and place the wrestlers back
on the mat giving them the same hold
is impossible. Though there are
distinct types of holds in the wrest
ling, there are also variations and
combinations which cannot be dupli
cated by the referee, who is busy
watching the other points of the
game. As a result some man is giv
en the advantage who in reality had
not earned the advantage over the
other wrestler. The result, is that
perhaps, the best man does not al
ways win. t
Though the old method did not
discourage stalling, it at least gave
the wrestlers an opportunity to win
by their own ability. And there is
a bit of head work and initiative in
stalling after all, which is at least
a point against the system which
might rob one man of his match, yet
it takes up more time than the old
system when the crowd is tense and
wants to see the competitors wrestle, I
and not the referee, wrestling to
give them their proper holds again.
not the Husker captain is capable.
Ties in several conference and relay
records are not held of the story.
Three ties with world records, twice
in the 100 and once in the 220-yard
races is the real proof.
Discussion jf the technique of the
start leads to discussion of starters.
Locke and the coach agree that the
best starter in the country is no other
than Dr. Grover, of Washington uni
versity, St. Louis. Grover will not,
and does not tolerate a man jump
ing the gun, or taking unfair advan
tages of the other runners by the
tricks of the start. He gives every
man an even break for the start and
that is the idea of the sport. This
fact has made track a great sport,
the fact that every runner has a J
fair chance and if he wins, while if j
he losses he loses. Wrestling will
never grow in college sports until
the same rule is applied 're.
If we want to foster sportsmanship
we must give the referee definite
protection against the crowds, eo
that he can defend his actions. This
method of wrestling lays him open
for all sorts of unfavorable razzing
which is not only bad, but ofen war
ranted, partly due to inability to
recognize the hold, and partly due to
partiality to one of the two contest
ants in the ring. If the crowd wants
a fast match, and it does, this system
will kill the soprt; for it will slow it
up double the extent that the West
ern intercollegiate rules do.
shape. The Iowa, coach must not
consider Nebraska a hard nut to
crack as he let his players off with a
light work out. Chances are that
Coach Chandler will say his team has
played the three hardest games of
the season after Saturday night, Ne
braska being included with the two
teams from the "show me" state.
It seems that a new find has been
made in the Ames camp. A sopho
more bearing the name of Mr.
Klinge seems to have made a great
showing in the Missouri game, in
fact, he won the game by caging a
basket with 10 seconds to play. The
report continues, stating that
Klinge's speed and cleverness are his
greal assets. Saturday night Mr.
Klinge will be introduced to Messrs.
Lawson and Brown and forty min
utes later he will probably find that
his speed and cleverness were to no
avail.

To illustrate the point, take for
example the match in the Husker
tryouts. On one occasion, Weber in
the 125 pound class was given some
what of an advantage over Buck
when the two were brought back on
the mat Arain. toward the close
of the match Buck was given a de
cided advantage over Weber. In
fact, he was given a half nelson and
body hold which won a fall, and the
match for him.

"Gip" Locke was working on his
starting methods yesterday under the
sharp eye of Coach Schulte. The
fact that the "Indian" knows sprint

Just mention such men as Scholz and
Simpson and the statement is proved,
for they are both world record men
and Olympic stars of years gone by.
