THE DAILY NEBRASKAN DBS IJOINES HOW ATHLETIC CITY Many of Country's Bert Are Ready for Relays Starting Today COME GREAT DISTANCES TIES MOINES. Ia.. April 22. All roads are leading to Dea Moines this week-end as far as the athletic cen ter of the nation is concerned, for 2,500 of the country's ablest univer sity, college, and high-school athletes are assembling here for the seven teenth annual Drake relay carnival which will be held on Friday and Sat urday. Oregon Aggie The Oregon Aggie four-mile team, coached by M. H. (Dad) Butler ar rived Monday morning and has been working out daily at the famous Drake track and getting accustomed to "Old Sol's" rays on Iowa soil. The Devitt Preparatory school of Wash ington, D. C has had a squad of men working out here since the first part of the week. Other teams from the more remote regions of the states are expected to arrive almost hourly from now until the starting of the carnival at 10 o'clock Friday morn ing. Late Entries Last minute entries have been re ceived from Washington University of St. Louis and others. The St Louis school will compete in the 100-yard dash, broad-jump, high hurdles, pole-vault, high-jump, discus throw, javelin throw and hop, step and jump, of the special events, and the half-mile and one-mile relays for universities. DePaul University, Chicago, will compete in the medley and two-mile relays for colleges and the shot put and discus throw of the special events. The DePaul entries were re ceived over long distance telephone and accepted by E. C. Lytton, mem ber of the relay committee. IN THE VALLEY . .by ... "Zim" and "Zim" BLUES AGAIN Will IN TRACK EYBNTS Athletes may or may not be as in telligent as the average run of stu dents This column stands aside at such useless discourse pro and con. But there are a few facts that need sighting. Crinnell College boasts that of the nine men who won Phi Beta Kap pa honor this spring, three of them were members of athletic teams. Track, football and tennis were the sports represented. Missouri elected a star track and football man by the name of Bond several years ago to the honor of Rhodes scholar. Bond was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Not more than four years a sub stitute guard on the Hutker football team ranked among the honor stu dents. His success did not stop with Phi Beta Kappa, also included Sigma XL And when we get through naming all the athletic stars who have shown brilliant in the class room, than a sufficient list of men who are unable to gather more than . a sufficient amount of numbers in the grade per centage column to tide them through three seasons of competition. It is just another case of "tread mill" and no logical conclusions are possible from facts at hand. The Kansas City Star picked up a clever tale in their columns "Star Beams" which might define the popu lar opinion of the supposedly "dumb" athlete. The way the story goes, the college star "flunked" a chemistry examination. In the make-up quizz he was supposed to make fifty per cent. The professor gave him an oral test of two questoos "What color is blue Vitrol?" The pride of the grid iron said yellow, and that was wrong. The second question was "What is the chemical formula for sulphuric acid?" The famous half-back ad mitted than he didn't know, and that was right, so he passed the examina tion and made four touchdowns the next day for his team. The world record set by the Hus ker half-mile relay team is now com mon news, but back in the 1925 sea son, crops out the prediction made by Nebraska' coach that when the weather condition would be coupled with the perfection of the baton passing by the quartet in the sprint races, Nebraska would shatter some marks. Last year the weather was fair, but the Scarlet and Cream sprinters failed to connect on the touch-off in proper fashion. At Drake, with two yards to the good over the rest of the field, Hein and Locke fumbled the baton, and incidentally fumbled away chances for the coveted world mark. In the quarter-mile race at Kansas last week, the Cornhusker sprint crew threw the race away by losing the stick. It looked like a long after noon, but thoroughly disgusted with their early impression, the same four some paraded to the finish line with the real goods in the 880-yard class- They go to Drake this week with that reputation to live up too. Be sides that a quartet of quarter-milers have the Griffith mile relay trophy to defend, which Nebraska won last year. The rest of the athletes have nothing to lose," and everything to win, with the possible exception of Locke, Weir, and Wirsig in the spe cial events. Folks are going to be disappoint ed if Locke does not grab some re cords in the century dash, and all Valley followers will be pulling for all-American, Weir in the hurdles. Wirsig, with the two other Missouri Valley stars have the conference honors to hold up in the pole rault, and they are certainly capable of that bit of task, too. Beat White end Reds Easily For Third Time Since Meets Started The Blues again emerged from the tri-color meet with the most points on their side of the column. They won with fifty-seven points with the Reds second having forty-nine and one-half points and the Whites trail ing with forty-two points.

March in a special symposium on Remaking the College published as a supplement to The New Republic of Anril 14. that so much enthusiasm is given to the sports that the intellec tual activities can find no place in the scheme of life of the students. L is situation is sometimes trua, but such a position often exposes the teacher, who emphasizes the contrast between the uninspired reiteration of the verities and the bounding joy of the game. There are teachers who disclose the adventure of learning and even arouse enthusiasm for the conflict of ideas in the classroom. Students who have experienced such glowfng teaching may leave the class with a thrill not unlike that gained on the field. It is the problem of 'our emerging education to join these sep arate thrills. Extra Credit for High Grades The committee on scholarship at the University of Iowa recently ruled that for every four hours of "A" earned by a student he should auto matically receive an extra hour of "A" toward graduation credit Thus a student who maintains an unusually high average may graduate in three years. Creighton Gets Gift Creighton University has received $1,000 from the estate of the late Dr. James S. Foote, a professor in the college of medicine for over thirty years. It is to be used for purchas ing books for the dentistry library. Increasing Population Limits High Education With an increasing population, the MirhMfc educational opportunities can not be granted to all, says Presi dent Ray Lyman Wilbur In a special qvmnosium On Remaking the College published as a supplement to Thei New Republic of April 14, nor is desirable to do so. Tha variability in human qualities is great, and high intellectual ca pacity is not common enough to ex that many will profit by ad vanced university work. The devel opment of the Junior College, per mittinir a stopping point for students at the end of the sophomore year of college work, will take care of the largest burden of students. Univer sities will more and more come to limit themselves to students beyond that period and to exact a higher quality of work from them. WANT ADS ATTENTION : Sororities and Fra ternities.
