Captaia Hay Lead Stitt ia
Preliminary Trial. Held
Friday Afternoon
Prospects for this year's cross
country team assumed a rosier hue
after the preliminary trials Friday
afternoon. Captain Hays, led the se
entecn starters over the course in
fine early-season time despite the
cold wind.
Captain Hays was running in rnid-
season form and left the rest of the
croup without difficulty. Glenn John
son, Varsity half miler last spring,
running in sweat clothes, finished an
easy second. Sprague, sophomore
from Crete, running in hia first Var
sity competition, finished third
Sprague showed unusual promise, not
having been out for cross-country
last fall. Before the race, he was un
known to the coaches.
Gates Locked
The others finishing in the first
group in the order named were:
Chadderdon, McCartney, Dickson.
Cumings, Dietrich, and Jones. Lesser
and Betxer ran the course earlier in
the afternoon in slightly over thirty
three minutes. Time was not avail
able on the regular trials. The gates
were locked so the men had to run
around to the front of the Stadium
before getting onto the track for the
final laps.
Despite this, the team averaged
around thirty minutes for the five
mile course. Any of the first group
are likely to show up well before the
season is over.
Drake Meet Postponed
The cross-country meet with Drake
scheduled for this Saturday has been
postponed until October SO. It will
be held here in conjunction with the
Nebraska-Iowa State football game.
Tryouts for the cross-country team
will be held Friday afternoon of this
week. The first meet will be with
Missouri here the following Saturday
All men interested in cross-country
should report at the Stadium a'
about 4:30 o'clock in the future
Although the representation in the
first trials vras satisfactory and the
time better than expected, Coacl
Schulte is anxious to have a larger
number of candidates out.
Yearling Squad Has
Well-Earned Rest
The freshmen squad received a
long-awaited layoff Monday after
noon, running signals occupying the
whole of the two hour session.
The snappy play exhibited against
the Varsity Saturday was absent,
many fumbles marring the practice.
Miller, McBride, Sloan, and Farley,
backfield regulars, polished up on
Drake formations while the linemen
rested on their well-earned laurels.
Their work against the Varsity the
other day was a sensational feature
of the game.
No definite plans have yet been
formulated for the naxt Varsity
yearling tangle. Probably they will
come together the latter part of this
week, to help prepare the Varsity for
the Drake tussle next Saturday.
Engineering Department Make Tests
A series of special tests on various
types of fifty-one-inch re-enforced
concrete pipe was recently completed
by Prof. N. I. Evinger and E. A.
Grone of the department of civil en
gineering. The work was done in co
operation with the engineering de
partment of Iowa State College
which is engaged in extensive expeii
ments in this line.

Chores of Student Managers are n
Many; Holding Down Job No "Pipe
A championship football team,
such as Nebraska hopes to have this
year, depends on a number of indi
viduals. Among those who make
practice effective Bre the student
managers.
In charge of all managers is the
senior manager who is appointed by
the athletic board. Under him are
two junior and several sophomore
managers. This year "Windy" Cam
eron is the senior in charge of all
managerial activities. It is his duty
to route the team for the various
away-from-home games and to make
the necessary train and hotel reser
vations. Besides this he acts as
referee during all practice scrim
mage and sees that the practice runs
smoothly.
Holding Down Job No "Pipe"
The junior and sophomore man
agers cany on the more menial part
of the work. A valet can sympa
thize with the student managers
whose business it is to see that shoes
fit properly, that jersies are dried
after each practice, that shoulder
nnH nrp smooth and fit firmly and
that all football suits are in good
condition. Shrunken jersies fit as
tightly and take as much effort to
put on as a straight jacket. Cries
of "Manager, help me put this jersey
on," come from all parts of the dress
ing room before practice. After
much tugging on the part of the
manager, the team is ready to take
the field.
Before each practice the ground
under the dummies must be spaded.
After fifty football candidates have
taken fifteen tackles at the dummy,
thp cround resembles well packed
asphalt. By dint of many persistent
thuds on the spade the ground again
resembles a garden and is ready for
the usual dummy practice.
Seven footba'ls well inflated and
thirty or forty headgears are taken
to the practice field each nignt. ine
student manager must see that no
time is lost from the lack of equip
ment. He must anticipate what will
be needed next and aee that it is
GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT
ADDS MANY SPECIMENS
Six hundred specimens, gathered
from the mines of South Dakota,
Wyoming, and Utah by Prof. E. F.
Schramm, have recently been added
to the geology department's collec
tion of minerals. Specimens of sixty
distinct minerals were taken from t
spodumene mine in the Black Hills.

there in readiness for use.
The work of an errand boy is the
role for one ofthe managers. "Man
ager, call the backs for signal prac
tice," or "Manager, tell the fresh
man team to come to the stadium
for scrimmage," these and other or
ders are given by the coach to his
errand boy, the student manager.
Footballs have a manner of pick
ing up huge chunks of mud during
rainy weather. A slippery ball
means- inefficient practice. With
towel in hand the manager may be
seen wiping off the pigskin which
resembles more a chunk of gummy
stadium clay. This process is re
sorted to after every down which
should be qualification enough for
any manager who has been assigned
this task to get a first class job as
bootblack.
The boy watering an elephant to
work his way into a circus has no
harder job than the manager who
has run out on the field with a pail
of water to quench the thirst of two
teams during scrimmage.
When the freshmen and varsity
tangle all the players are used,
which means that the practice drags
long into the evening and that the
managers must remain to gather up
the equipment long after many of Those with low percentages, by that

some other school are the same as courses they will be allowed to take
for practice with the exception thatwill be determined by other tests,
the dummies are not put out and all
equipment must be in better shape.
All of which is done under more
tension because a mistake during a
game may have more serious effects
than during practice.
Although a managers routine de
mands that he be the first on the
field and the last to leave, he feels
that his untiring efforts have not
been in vain if his team experiences
a successful season for success in
football as in any other sport de

has made possible.

New Method of Giving Te.t. to

Next Year
Intelligence tests which have been
given to all University freshmen for
the past five years will not be given
this year or at least will be given
onlv to those whose professors are
willing to undertake the work them
selves.
"Conditions under which they have
been given in the past have not been
favorable," said Professor A. A.
Reed, chairman of the University
Extension Division. J'Next year they
will be part of a freshman week pro
gram which we are planning.
"We have given them to students
to check up on their college work. Of
those taking the test we have found
that those whose grades were in the
lower fourth do not, as a rule, last
longer than the freshman year. Only
two of. those in the freshman class
two years ago this fall whose grades
were in this lower division were still
in school at the beginning of their
fourth semester. v
Will Restrict Number New Student
"By giving these intelligence tests
under different conditions next year,
we hope to restrict the number tt
new students entering the university.
which will tell for what kind of work
they are best fitted. They will not
be allowed to take the more difficult
courses.
"We also have a system whereby
anyone can take these tests to deter

course, his tendencies, and the cours
es for which he is best fitted."
