Schulte'a program for the Con.hnsker cindermen who will meet the cream of the other Valley schools' tracksters in the Missouri Valley indoor championship meet at Des Moines, Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10.

Promising Material In Krause and Thompson, Coach Schulte has two promising hurdlers who should give their opponents at Des Moines some fast competition. Easter and Snyder, sprint men, have been setting up some good marks in the dashes.

SEVERAL TEAMS ARRIVE FOR TILT More Than 2,000 Athletes Are Expected for Annual High Tourney PREPARATIONS ARE MADE (By Jack Lowe) With the opening round of the state high school basketball tourna ment but two days distant, the bas ketball fever has gripped Lincoln, and athletic officials are working overtime, preparing to accommodate the vast host of athletes expected. Several teams from the western and northern parts of the state arrived in Lincoln yesterday, and by tomor row noon, over two thousand high school athletes will probably be in the city. 130 Games Thursday This year's meet, although not the largest in the history of the state; is by far the largest high school event that will be sponsored this year. Two hundred and sixty two teams will play 130 games on Thursday, and when the smoke of the first day's activities clears, half of the contest ants will have been eliminated from further participation. The growth of the Nebraska high school basketball tournaments is con sidered marvelous. From the 1911 tourney, when 21 teams were enter ed, the event njoyed a steady growth until 1925 when the district cham pion form of tournament was held. (Continued on Page 3.) Spring Causes R. O. T. C. Men To Resume Drill ' (By William Westfall) Military commands mingled with the familiar "tramp" of marching feet, are again being heard across the campus with the resumption this week of outside drill by the Reserve Officers Training corps of the Uni versity. Lectures have supplemented the usual outside drill for the mem bers of the corps since Armistice Day, when cold weather drove the men inside. If figures don't lie, however, the large number of student cars appear ing on the streets recently must be an indication that spring cannot "be far behind." With this in mind, the commanding officers are again drill ing their companies outside, in an ef fort to remove some of the unavoid able "lustiness" of movements which accumulate during the period of in side work. "We're Ia the Army Now" According to the freshman cadets, they get more than their share of the work, for they must drill three hours a week, while the sophomores get only an hour a week of "It" not the Elinor Glyn kind. The sophomores, too. will soon be thinking "You're in the army now," for they will drill three hours a week, starting shortly after the first of ApriL But there is a reason for more things than "postum," and the mil itary department is not without its reasons. In two months the annual military inspection will be held, in which Nebraska will compete with other schools in the United States to retain its rating as a "Distinguished Colleee." and wear the blue star of distinction in military work. The "blue star" ratine was won in 1924 and also in 1925, but in the inspec tion of 1926 Nebraska lost the right (Continued on Page 2.)

COOPER FAVORS MORE OUTLAWRY OPINIONS Cotner Professor Gives Impression Of Three-day Conference Oa "War Outlawry' That student groups should con tinue to hold outlawry of war con ferences was the opinion expressed by Professor Vernom Cooper, of the history department of Cotner college, speaking before a group of students at the Temple Sunday afternoon. "What Can We Do About It?" was the subject of bis lecture, which marked the close of a three-day con ference on the "Outlawry of War.' Summing up the impression of the conference on the group as a whole, Mr. Cooper stated that the confer ence had brought out in clear relief the magnitude of the obstacles that must tbe overcome to put into effect any practical plan for the outlawry of war. Help Create Public Opinio "Although the temptation is to feel that any discussion as that car ried on here is futile," he declared, "I wish to urge very strongly that such an impression is false since the ultimate solution of the problen must depend upon the creation of an enlightened public opinion." Such conferences as the one held here last week end, uwfer tl4 aus pices of the Y. M. C A. and Y. W. C. AM and Cosmopolitan Club, are very effective in the creation of such public opinion, according to the speaker. It is for that reason he suggests tbe continuance of such conferences. Two foreign students attending (Continued on Page 2.) Bengston Speaks to ' Teachers Tonight Professor Bengston will speak to a meeting of Pi Lambda Theta this evening in Teachers College 320.

What About the Grades Bring Grief and Joy For Scholars (By Bill McCleery) "Its a great old school what?" was heard from the lips of some thousands of undergarduate students on the receipt of grade cards yester day. A number of embryo Ivy Day orators burst forth in rare praises (etc, ettc,) of their respective in structors on the memorable occasion. Regular as Clockwork As regularly as clockwork the grade cards come out anywhere be tween the first and twelfth weeks of the second semester to inform stu dents of their various individual scholastic accomplishments.

'Hell Week Is Slowly Fading Out on Campus Of Sooner University Norman, March 5. (Special) The bungling footstp of Old Man Civilization is threatening to put a crimp into one of the most ancient and honored traditions on the campus of the University of Oklahoma "Hell Week." The picturesque period in the life of every fraternity freshman, with its long midnight searches for black cats, mustache cups, and yellow dogs; its broken barrel staves, and all its tomfoolery, has seen the beginning of the end, campus sages say. Recently one of the men's fratern ities abolished the practice enitrely, and several others are threatening similar action. Most of the women's organizations have already done away with the annual affair. Tbe modern conservative move ment which has for some time been in power at eastern universities has invaded tbe western schools, it is be lieved, and it will be only a matter of time until "Hell week" will be done away with entirely here. The chief objection to the practice has been that it disrupts a student's xchovl Yrc?k ia Ixi Liui sp fel late hours and preventing efficient study during the period.

With two minutes of the tussle still to be played, the Cornhuskers were two points to the good. Just before the final gun sounded. Collins t slipped in a basket from the side and tied up the contest. Brown Plays Last Game In the extra-period playoff, "Jug? Brown, playing his last game in Ne braska togs, scored on a long shot and it looked like a win for the Cornhuskers. Collins and McCoy got busy for the Oklahomans before the period ended and rang up three bas kets to put the Ag-men out ahead. The work of Brown and Munn was outstanding for the Huskers. In ad dition to taking high point honors, Brown's floorwork made the Monday game one of the best ever played on the Stillwater court. Grace, Husker sophomore, and Holm, guard, also contributed offensive and defensive strength to the Nebraska five.
