Henry F. 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. The Nebraska team
is not a favorite among track pro
phets to win the Valley indoor track
title, but Coach Schulte is working
hard to develop the material at hand,
and should cause the other Valley
mentors a great deal of worry before
the title is awarded.
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. This is the first year of

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.

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

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.

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. T h e
tradition, (probably started by Doc
tor Condra,) has become so well es
tablished that students are not at all
surprised to receive the official doc
uments. They are sometimes mistak
en for bids to the Phi Delt formal.

'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.

On Week-End Results
Losing the last game of the 1928

Stillwater Monday night. Both teams

Nebraska clearly outplayed the
Aggie quintet the greater part of the
game but lacked the final punch to
repulse a last minute Sooner Aggie
rally. 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. Stat

play for the Oak Aggies and aided in
