The Daily WEATHER FORECAST For Lincoln and vicinity: Partly cloudy Tuesday- ' GET YOUR CORNUUSKER EAR. LY THIS WEEK Nebraskan nnPESTERS ARE NOT PREDICTING VALLEY-WINNER Coming Meet Ejected to Be One of Most Hotly Contested Events in Years N1NE SCHOOLS ENTERED Institution Has Favorites nut Wins Not Even Con ceded to Leaders with high school meeta and dual Beets out of the way. the eyes of Cornhusker trackdom are focused on the annual Missouri Valley confer, ence track and field meet, to be held ,t the stadium Friday and Saturday. Stars of nine schools -will take part in what promises to be the most hotly contested valley meet in years. Ne braska won the , championship last ar after losing by a narrow margin to Missouri the previous year. This year Oklahoma, third place winner Ust spring, sprung into the favorite's position by nosing out Nebraska and Iowa State at the annual indoor meet. Dope From Indoor Meet Dope from the indoor meet, relay carnivals, and dual meets since) that time indicate that four schools have t fine chance of copping premier honors. They are Nebraska, Kansas University, Oklahoma University, and Iowa State. Missouri, although not conceded a chance of winning, has efficient point winners that they are considered likely to beat out some of these four highly touted teams. Kan sas Aggies, Oklahoma Aggies, Drake, and Grinnell are coming to Lincoln with several strong point winners al though apparently with little chance for winning team honors. Picking a winner this year requires roch intricate figuring that as yet the dopesters have contented them selves with general statements on the meet. The points . are going to be well split up. That is the only thing they agree on. Pick the Winner Take the sprints for example. Kansas has Grady, Cooper, and Mc Inerny. Missouri has Farley and Edgington. If Captain Stephens of Nebraska succeeds in getting into shape he must be counted " in, rnd "Perly" Wyatt may run in the dashes to further complicate matters. Okla homa Aggies indicated that they would help make the sprints real races when Joe Bull won the 100 Tard dash last Saturday at Norman, Oklahoma, in even time. He had to beat Hewitt of Oklahoma, co-holder of the valley indoor record for the 50-yard dash to win. Take another example. The mile. Raymond Conger, Iowa State, has beaten everything in valley competi tion for several years and is gen erally admitted to be the pick of the conference at the mile. But Glen Johnson, lanky, Cornhusker has al ready pushed the Hawkeye-state run ner and is set to turn in his best work of the season Saturday. Niblack, giant Oklahoma cross country run ner, should not be overlooked. He tripped the mile in 4:29 Saturday against Oklahoma Aggies. If Coach Huff of Kansas should enter his di minutive two-miler, "Poco" Frazier, in the mile, even an Iowan would &te to forecast the winner.

Old University Land Mark Now Seen No More Another University landmark has seen its last days. Although the steel smoke stack over the east side of the power plant has no historic age, it has stood watch over the Uni versity and has been the calm spec tator of all of Nebraska's home grid and track struggles for the past ten years. Early this spring when power plant officials were inspecting it prepara tory to giving it its annual coat of paint, they found that it was unsafe and would have to be replaced. A week ago yesterday the work of tear ing it down was started, and today only a scant few feet of it former hundred foot height remains. Erec tion of the new stack which is to re place it will begin soon, and is ex pected to be completed in about ten days. The condition of the stack which necessitated the wrecking of it was caured by the sulphuric acid which is formed by the mixing of the, gas fumes from the boilers and the mois ture in the air.

ANsSouthern GSrl Monologue, Elizabeth Woodbury. 4. The Wolf Eugene Walters, Jack Rank. This is the last of the senior dra matic recitals to be presented this semester. Each graduating student, majoring in dramatics, is required to give a recital. These students have not necessarily appeared in these plays in public previous to their senior recital RUSSELL SPEARS TO AG STUDENTS Director of Agricultural Experiment Station in England Gives Talk Monday The importance of colloidal sub stances in soil structure and the re lationship of the various soil organ isms to the nitrogen content of the soil wire the main points brought in the speech given by Sir John Russell, director of the Rothamsted Exeri- ment Station at Harpenden, England, Monday afternoon at the Agricul tural College campus. Slides were used during the lecture to illustrate the results obtained from the scienti fic investigations carried on at the Rothamsted Station. Dr. Russell is on a tour of the Agricultural Colleges of the United States, and will also attend the Inter, national Soil Congress. He will give two lectures while in Lincoln, the first being on "Some Investigations in Soil Fertility," and the other, "Systems of Agriculture in England," which will be given at a special con vocation in the Student Activities building at the Agricultural College at 11 o'clock this morning. Mineral in Soit In speaking of the structure of the soil, Dr. Russell said that it was com posed of various sized mineral par ticles, and also colloidal substances of different kinds. These coHtids are gelatinous and are comparatively new as a soil class, having a very great water absorbent capacity. Water in this absorbed form is re tained longer in the soil than it is in the free state. A slide was shown which indicated graphically the amount of power nec essary to pull a plow in different parts of a field. The addition of calcium carbonate to the soil reduces the amount of resistance of the soil to plowing and other cultural oper ations. The colloids in the soil are influenced by an electric current, and give up water to a variable extent. An electric current passing from the tractor to the plow has the effect of reducing the resistance of the soil to plowing 8DOUI v lo ou perceiiu -"uslcnjna is a very important item in heavy soils. Experiments In fertilizer experiments with phos phate, potassium, and nitrogen, it was shown that an increase in amount of fertilizer applied did not always (Continued on Page Three.)

PRICE 5 CENTS OFFICIALS GIVE HINT THAT BLUE STAR IS GAINED Although Nothing Definite Is Known Now, Indications Point to Best WORK HIGHLY PRAISED Majors Say That Close-Order Drill Was Best Seen On Their Trip Accompanied by the much hoped for clear weather, the University o Nebraska R. O. T. C. regiment went through the annual Government in spection Monday morning. Although the definite results of the inspection cannot be know until some time in the middle of 9bne, all indications seem to point to Nebraska as the proud possessor of a blue star rating next year. The inspecting was done by Major R. M. Danford of the Field Artillery, and Major C. H. Bonesteel of the In fantry. They declined to give infor mation in regard to the results of their inspection, but they did make statements to the fact that the close order drill done by company G and the drilling of the squad picked from that company was the best that they had seen on their trip. They also' said that the work done by the ad vance course men was unusual and the best that they had seen so far. Command Facilitiies The inspecting officer also com mended the facilities for instruction that the Nebraska military depart ment has this year. In the estimation of Captain Foster, connected with the Nebraska R. O. T. C, this will go a long way toward winning the coveted blue star for Nebraska. Poor facilities were one of the main causes of the loss of the blue star last year, Foster said. Inspection of the junior and senior advanced courses took place Saturday morning. Companies L nd M were also- given class room inspection that morning. Inspections The seniors went through class room work in military history, wea pons, combat principles, company ad ministration, military law, and rules of warfare. The juniors did theoret ical work in military history, infantry weapons, military sketching, map reading, and field engineering. In practical work the juniors gave a ma chine gun drill and the seniors drilled with trench mortars and seventy-five millimeter guns. In companies L and M the fresh men received class room work in hy gene, sanitation, first aid, rifle marksmanship, and in parts of the rifle. The sophomores gave demon stration in scouting, patroling, guard duty, musketry, and some work with the automatic rifle. Monday Work The entire regiment was included in the general inspection held Mon day morning. The regiment was called to attention at eight o'clock. After severl preliminary orders were given, Cadet Colonel Judd Crocker ordered that the regiment pass in re view before the stand. Lead by the band, the entire regiment went into platoon front formations and paraded before the officers. Members in the reviewing party were: Major Bone steel, Major Danford, Colonel Jewett, Miss Marie Bowcjen, the honorary colonel, and Cadet Colonel Crocker and his staff. After the review the detailed work was taken up. The band and Com panies A, B, E, and I were given in dividual inspection. Company F gave a demonstration in physical drill.
