LEADS RACE FOR
' VALLEY HONORS
Sooners Remain (Undefeated ;
Tigers Stand Second,
Nebraska Eighth
Oklahoma Sooners continue to
lead the pack in the Missouri Valley
basketball race for 1928 champion
ship honors. The Sooners from Nor
man have a perfect percentage col
umn, having won in eight starts.
The Missouri Tigers are pursuing
the Sooners with one lone defeat and
that handed them by the Nebraska
Huskers. The two leaders meet this
week at Columbia. A wfti for Coach
Edward's Tiger crew will tie the two
quintets for first place and a set
back for the basketeers from Col
umbia will mean that they still con
tinue to hold second place alone.

Oklahoma Aggies and Washington
are tied for third place, each with
five wins and three defeats. This
week end the Stillwater Aggies trek
to the camp of the Cornhuskers for
a game on the Coliseum floor. This
will be the first time Nebraska has
met an Oklahoma quintet this sea
son. The Aggie floor men are led
by "Ab" Wright, sophomore flash
who has been leading the scorers of
the coference all season.
Holt High Point Man
Coach McDermott's Oklahoma five
presents one of the most formidable
basket shooting quintets in the Miss
ouri Valley if not in the entire
country. The Sooner five have
scored 341 points in eight games
and have held their opponents to but
186 points. Ld by the tall "Vic"
Holt, Sooner pivot man the Sooners
have ran rough shod over all Valley
fives they have met this season. Holt
has taken the leading in the individ
ual scoring and is now leading with
103 tallies while Wright of the Oak
Ag .ies is close behind with 96.
i'he Sooners come north this week
for the thair first real test against
the Tigers and Washington. The
southern quintet boast of four men
over nix feet nd hope to make thpir
northern invasion entirely success
ful. In the eight games .o far the
Oklahoma five has scored an average
of 43 points a game.
Last week's games affected the
Valley standing very little with the
exception of the dumping of the
Kansas Jayhawkers which set the
Allen crew down in the second divi
sion. The victory for the Washing
ton five put them into third place.
Nebraska is well down in the sec
ond division with two wins out of
seven starts. The Huskers took the
count of the Iowa State quintet on
the Coliseum floir Saturday, putting
the Ames team into the cellar posi
tion. Grinnell and Ames have eked
out but one victory out of seven
games.
Games this week:
Thursday: Kansas at Grinnell.
Friday: Oklahoma at Washington,
Oklahoma Aggies at Kansas Aggies,
Kansas at Iowa State.
Saturday: Oklahoma at Missouri,
Oklahoma Aggies at Nebraska, Kan
sas at Drake.
game for 1928 and possibly a game
for Memorial Stadium in 1929 it will
be a huge step forward for Nebraska
in the sport light of the world and
we don't mean 'if."
"It won't be long now," until Ne
braska has a baseball nine on the
diamond representing the Cornhus
ker institution. It will not be this
year but is a sure thing for next
season. Baseball has been extinct at
Nebraska for three years now and
the grand old American pastime is
coming back. The spring of 1929
will see aspirants for the horsehide
nine working out on the Nebraska
diamond somewhere west of the Col
iseum. The Cornhusker carnival at the
Coliseum Friday night, sponsored by
the N-club, is one of the high lights
on the intramural athletic program
at Nebraska this year. The big event
will include the fraternity relays,
wrestling and boxing.
Coach Henry Schulte is taking
stock of his varsity track material
for the coming season. Tryouts for
the frosh were held last week and a
number of varsity candidates were
on exhibition also.
Roland "Gip" Locke and Fait
"Chief" Elkins, Nebraska's two
Olvnmic men are working out on the
I track nrior to their leave for New
I York for the Olympic finals.
Coach Charley Black's revamped
lineup on the hardwood looked plenty
neat in the Iowa State game and
from all indications the same quintet
will face the powerful Oklahoma Ag
gies on the Coliseum floor this Sat
urday. Munn has replaced Elliott at
center, Lewandowski has replaced
Krall at guard and Grace is working
in the forward hold with "Jug'
Brown in place of Othmer.
Munn, the tall sophomore center
showed up better in the Cyclone
game last week than he has all sea
son. There are great prospects for
Munn at the pivot position and we
believe that with more experience he
should rival the tall Holt from Soon
erland. Nebraska opens its Missouri Valley
wrestling season Saturday at the
Coliseum when the Kansas Jayhawk
er grapplers come to Lincoln for a
Valley mizup. Coach Guy Looka
baugh has a promising squad of mat
men this season but Coach Kellogg
has a likewise promising squad at
Nebraska so the meet should be
everything but one-sided.

Housekeeping
At Wisconsin U.
Is Gigantic Job
The University of Wisconsin af
fords a housekeeping job that would
have appalled the most efficient major-domo
of the largest medieval cas
tle. This job falls to the lot of A.
F. Gallistel, superintendent of build
ings and grounds at the state uni
versity of Wisconsin, who keeps
things ship-shape in the academic
home of the university's 9,000 stu
dents. Mr. Gallistel has oversight of the
university's 110 buildings of all
kinds, valued at some. (10,500,000.
Exactly ninety-one of these buildings
are heated from, the central station
which generates 4,800 horse power,
and burns 150 tons of coal each win
ter day.
The steam from the heating sta
tion travels through thirteen miles of
pipe laid in two one-half miles of
tunnels large enough to walk in and
one one-half miles of smaller con
duits. The 2,000,000 gallons of water
which the university uses on an av
erage school day is carried through
three miles of lake water mains and
two miles of city water mains.
Mr. Gallistel's establishment has
700 acres in the campus at Madison,
and another 700 acres in experiment
al farms, etc. The lake shore front
age is 13,000 feet. Roads and drives
on the campus measures approxi
mately ten miles.
