THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
PROSPECTS FOR
TRACK ARE FAIR
Eleven of Last Year' Letter
Men Will Form Nucleus
Of 1928 Squad
With eleven letter men of last
year available for this year, track
prospects for this season are mod
erately bright for Nebraska. In ad
dition to this squad there are several
last year's varsity men who may re
turn for the second semester and
also a number of very promising
sophomores.
Nine men of last year's team were
lost via the graduation route. They
were Harold Almy, shot put; Frank
Dailey, 440; Frank Hays and Ellis
McCartney, two milers; Roy Uand-,
ery, javelin ;Ted Page, high jumper;
Frank Pospisil, Missouri Valley
champion in the shot r'-c; Bobby
Stephens, broad jump and dashes;
and Frank Wirsig, Missouri Valley
champion in the pole vault. Wirsig
set a new record in this event for
the Valley with a jump of 13 feet, 4
inches, and also placed in the A. A.
U. meet last summer.
Wyatt ia Captain
Captain Perly Wyatt will be on
hand for the 440, supported by Bob
Davenport, and a younger Wyatt,
Earl, who made a very creditable
showing on the yearling squad last
season.
In the mile, Norris Chadderdon,
and Glenn Johnson will be available.
Sophomore milers include Griffin,
Cummings, Sprague, and Januelwicz.
Glenn Johnson in the half mile will
be a bulwark of strength for the
Huskers. . Other 880 men are Dexter
and Sneathen, sophomores. Sprint
ers who will fight for berths on the
team are Art Easter and Leslie
Lowe. The two milers are Chadder
don, Griffin, Cummings, and
Sprague.
Practice Begins Soon
Weight men who will bear the
burden of this department are Ash
burn, and Hurd. Hurd will also
labor with the discus along with
Richards. Trumble, Krause, and
Fleming are the leading hurdlers for
the 1918 team. George Shaner, sen
ior football man, will be out for the
broad jump, and Benbrook, sopho
more, will try out for the high jump.
Ossion, member of last year's
freshmen squad has been showing up
well in the pole vault.
Coach Schulte has not yet begun
intensive training but in a few weeks
the training grind will begin in
earnest in preparation for the indoor
season. Nebraska will participate in
a number of the indoor events.
IN THE VALLEY
Bj JACK ELLIOTT
Every basketball quintet in the
Valley got into action last week and
taking a look at the prospects for
a 1928 champion, it seems hard to
pick a winner out of the ten For
six ..years., the ..Jajrhawker five has
carried off the honors on the court
but so far this season "Phog" Allen's
five hasn't given enough proof of
f their 1928 calibre.
1 The two quintets from down south
in Oklahoma look plenty good on the
hardwood so far this season. The
Sooner and' the Oak Aggies just
completed a most successful invasion
of Iowa, winning a. hundred percent.
The Sooner from Norman are prob
ably the strongest in the conference
with Missouri, Kansas Aggies and
Kansas university close behind.

The Oklahoma Sooners have dis
played one of the strongest offensive
combinations in the conference while
the defensive work of Coach Ed
ward's Tigers has stamped them as
one of the strongest defensive ma
chines. In Drake, LeCrone and Holt
the Sooners have three of the best
scoring aces in the Valley.
The dual system of refereeing will
bo in vogue in the Valley all season
and so far this season it has proved
a big success. This new system of
basketball officiating was adopted
by conference officials this year. In
tho Kansas-Kansas Aggies game, E.
C. Quigley, referee, tossed the ball
up in the center and handled the
game in one half of the court, while
when the ball was taken to the other
end, Louis Men re, umpire, took
charge of the game. This system is
more effecient and saves the referee
a great deal of exertion in following
tho ball up and down the court. It
also gives the officials an opportun
ity to catch all fouls.
Coach Hugh McDermott is coach
ing his seventh Oklahoma Sooner
basketball quintet. McDermott has
had successes on the court at Okla
homa in large quantities and is
Phog" Allen's greatest jinx. Twice
in 1924 and in 1926 the Sooner chief
gave Allen a real run for the flag.
This season McDermott has one of
the most powerful basketball quints
in the Valley. The Sooners invasion
of Iowa last week was most success
ful and in Holt, LeCrone and Drake,
the Oklahoma coach has three of the
best scorers in the conference.
pha Delta Pi, i Delta Gamma, and
Zeta Tau Alpha were winners in
their first round battle. Gamma Phi
Beta, Alpha Xi Delta, and the Dorm
itory located at 1437 S street had
games forfeited to them, and Sigma
Kappa and Delta Zeta postponed
their game.
Of the games scheduled for 2
o'clock, Delta Delta Delta forfeited
to Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Delta Pi
defeated Alpha Delta Theta by a ten
point margin, 18 to 8, and Delta
Gamma crowded out the Kappas in
a hotly contested battle, Which enaea
4 to 1. Darleene Day, right for
ward, starred for the Alpha Delta
Pi's, with a total of 14 poincs to her
credit. Frances Holyoke was re
sponsible for both of the Kappa bas
kets.
Only one of the four games set
for 3 o'clock came off according to
schedule. This was the 'Zeta Tau
Alpha-Phi Mu meeting, which ended
14 to 8 in favor of the Zeta Tau's.
Of the other sororities . slated to
play, Alpha Phi and Cottage C
dropped out, Chi Omega forfeited,
and the Sigma Delta Tau-Alpha Xi
Delta came was postponed, and will
probably be played Tuesday at 5
o'clock.

Huskers Upset Dope
And Win from Missouri
(Continued from page 1)
column. With Craig, Yunker, and
Ruble setting the pace, Missouri
moved up too close for comfort of
Comhusker adherents. With the
score standing at 33 to 12, Nebraska
did no more scoring until the latter
part of the game. Missouri gained
rapidly and increased its lead when
the Husker second team went in with
five minutes to play.
Captain Tom Elliott, "Jug" Brown,
"Dutch" Witte, Elmer Holm and Bob
Krall received applause as they left
the floor and Kenny Othmer, Carl
Olson, forwards; Glen Munn, cen
ter; George Gohde and Adolph Lew
andowski, guards took their places.
"Army" Armstrong took Lewandow-
ski's place near the end of the tilt
and played a fighting defensive bat
tle. With the score sheet reading 85
to 25, Othmer sank a foul shot and
Craig followed with a similar shot
for Missouri just before the end of
the game which ds Nebraska's first
victory of the present season.
No Individual Stars '
No mention can be made of indi
vidual stars for there were none.
Missou had no outstanding playeT
for, like Nebraska, the Tigers sac
rificed (individuality for team work.
Yunker, Welch, and Ruble each con
tributed six points to the Tiger total,
while Brown and Witte rang up nine
markers apiece, Captain Elliott lag
ging not far" behind with eight points
and Krall chalking up five markers
in his evenings workout.
The Nebraska quintet was espec
ially proficient at hitting the hoop
from every angle, while the Missour-
ians had bad luck in this regard.
Time after time, the Tigers man
euvered the ball into set-up posi
tions only to miss. At the present
time, the series is even and Nebraska
has a percentage of .333 in the Val
ley table.
