Every team is not given a fair
chance in the one game elimination
plan and tho increasing of playing fa

away of this custom.Tho majority of
universities who have this tourna

and find it more advantageous than
tho former system.

It seems thnt tho Kansas scorers
fix the score books to suit them
selves. Three sport writers laiiea to
credit Schmidt, leading Valley scorer,
with a basket in the Nebraska game
Saturday night. However, the Daily
Missouri seems to have stnrted at
last in tho conference race. Tho Ti
gers turned in a defeat over the Kan
sas Aggies, one of the stronger teams
of tho conference.
According to tha Attociated Prett
dispatches, Ted Page, elongated Ne
braska center, played a nice game in
the tilt against the Kansas Aggies on
Tuesday night. Pago has not been
in the game much thi jnar, but his
size should make him ' iable man
to Coach Bearg.
Tho Inter-fraternity basketball
tournament is to start next Tuesday.
This tournament always causes much
interest at Nebraska, and although
somewhat late this year, it will have
mnny followers.
The tournament will be run on the

Smaha, Nebraska's scoring ace, has
climbed still higher in the individual
scoring column. In Tuesday night's
game against the Kansas Aggies, the
former Ravenna athlete scored
twelve points. This gives him a to
tal of fifty-four for the season, and
places him in sixth place.
more than one game.
The Husker basketball team has
slipped nnother notch. Tuesday
night the Kansas Aggies administer
ed a neat drubbing to the Nebraska
flippers on the Manhattan court.
Although the Nebraska five held the
advantage at the opening of the
game, they lost 41 to 25.

POLLUTING GRADUATE SCHOOL
(Columbus Spectator)
The mad scramble for sheepskins
and the consequent commercializa
tion and cheapening especially in
the eyes of scholars of baccalaur
eate degres is maifesting itself in tho
higher schools. Dean Woodbridge in
his annual report to President Butler
views the process with some alarm.
He sees an influx of students in the
graduate schools who are neither
prepared nor anxious for thorough
research but who, capitalizing the
worship of the laity for academic
degrees, are merely after the preci
ous M. A. or Ph. D. titles.
Teachers College authorities come
in contact more frequently with the
wholesale seeking after higher de
grees than the head of the graduate
faculties. School boards of pro
gressive American cities persist in
raising the requirements for teach
ers. In many places no one will be
permitted to teach in the high school
who has not a Master's degree. Al
most universally there is a differ
ence of $1,000 or more in the salarieF
of a person who has only a B. A. and
one who is the possessor of a high
er degree. It is absurd to suppose
that tho members of the School
Boards who set the standurds for
their teachers should bo the judges
of tho ability of their employes.
They can, however, distinguish be
tween a higher and a lower academic
honor. It is up to the institutions
to see that superior ability and a
broader information accompany the
higher degree, so the directors feel.
Consequently it is no miracle that
tho graduate schools of our univer
sities should be crowded with per
sons seeking diplomas which will en
able them to command a greater bar
gaining power with their employers.
Most of the persons who thus seek
degrees are endeavoring to benefit
themselves in their profession, that
of teaching. Certainly their efforts
are just as laudable and as irresist
nl,l0ns those of people trying to
improve themselves in any other pra-
fession.
The widespread use which teach
ers are making of the graduate
schools to accomplish their ends if
naturally dissonant with the concep
tion of those places as recluses for
scholarly reascarch. But surely it
does not follow that aspiring teacherf
should be excluded from the benefits
of the higher schools merely to pre
serve the traditional scholarly exclu
sion of those places. From, the stand
point of usefulness to society, teach
ers obviously perform ns great a ser
vice, perhaps even a greater one than
research workers. Possibly the only
solution of the problem lies in the
creation of two graduate scnoois.
Let there be one for research and
another one of training and educa
tion for teachers.
TRADITIONS, EAST AND WEST
(New Student)
Students who would become col
legiate must pay the price. New
comers must serve their novitiate
before thev may assume the blase
bearing of the Holy Order of St. Col
legiate. At Penn State College Mr.
Frosh must eshcew communion with
co-eds, except at stated periods; he
must go about the campus with his
hands in his pockets, wearing coat
unbuttoned, keeping off the grass
and displaying no gaudily colored
socks.
A freshman found guilty of break
ing these rules is escorted to the pub
lic square and publicly shorn. Ho is
then "adorned in women's regalia"
for two weeks and in tho spring of
the year given a molasses bath.
Out in the wide open places a col
lege editor looks askance at this type
of initiation into tho mysteries of
higher learning. Tha Daily Nebras
kan calls attention to Penn State Col
ditions tn an editorial entitled Cul
ture, which concludes:
"At this school a few years ago
some far-sighted . Btudents attempt
ed to introduce a distinctive dress
for each class an extension of the
noble institution of the green cap.
The students, however, had so recent
ly emerged from the barbaric stage
out hero in tho untutored West that
they failed to enthuse over the idea
and it died. The green cap, how
ever, had such a pronounced cultural
influence that its advantages were
readily recognized, and it was adopt
ed years ago.
"Yes, We of the West, do not know
what we are missing. It takes some
such revelation of intelligence as that
at Penn State to wake us up."
The Tenn State Collegian rises to
defend the thrusts at the Alma Ma
ter's tradition.
"Many, many years ago, good old
Noah Webster defined culture as
follows: 'The training, improvement
and refinement of mind and morals.'
And we should be willing to stack
Penn State's mind and morals against
those of Nebraska any day. When
a freshman emerges into' the sopho
more class here, he at least knows
snmpthinr of collcire tradition. At
Nebraska, he probably wearx plU8.
fours and smokes Lord Luckyfi.ldj
But, of course, that's the West's de!
nition of culture."
