Coach Schulte stated Saturday evening that it would take a miracle for Nebraska to win. i ' Should Place Near Top The Cornhuskers should place up near the top of the heap but to hope for another championship from as green a team as will represent Ne braska at Des Moines is almost too much. With only three members of last year's point-scorers on the squad, Johnson, Wirsig, and Wyatt, and one of those, "Perly" Wyatt in question able shape, the Nebraska team will be one of the newest aggregations to represent the University on the track in years.

W. C. A. spoke before the Ag College World Forum on "What Science has done for my Religion" yesterday noon. In discussing' the various attitudes toward the old and new testaments of the Bible, he divided them into those who beljeve it from "kiver to kiver"; those who regard it merely as bits of Hebrew literature; and the most worthwhile' class, those who study it to find the "trunkline prin ciples" of human conduct and exper ience. He stated that if the books of the Bible weie arranged in the order of their appearance, it would show a progressive development of the prin ciple of life. It would bring out a develoDment of the idea of God and an evolution of ethical standards, idea of a future life, sound ideals, after life, redemption, worship and other important principles of right eous living.
