GRID PRACTICE
STARTS TODAY
Sixty Candidates Are Ready to
Begin Spring Training
This Afternoon
FUNDAMENTALS STRESSED
(By Douglas Timmerman)
Spring football practice starts
this afternoon on the south stadium
field with a squad of sixty gridsters
ready to report and a quintet of
coaches on hand to direct the pro
ceedings. Many uniforms are still
available, according to the stores de
partment, and Coach Ernest E,
Bearg is still calling for more volun
teers.
Spring drill will consist of passing,
blocking, and setting-up tactics cal
culated to give the squad a founda
tion for the more strenuous practice
next fall. Fundamentals will also re
ceive must stressing, according to
Coach Bearg, and a punting drill
will be furnished each day in an
effort to correct a Husker weakness
in that department last year.
More Men Out
Coach Bearg, who just returned
from a trip to Illinois, was concerned
about the Husker football outlook.
"With only fourteen letter men
back, we need a lot of new material
to fill up about twenty vacant places
on the squad. For that reason I'd
like to see more men out than the
sixty odd that have already checked
out suits."
Starting a day early in his prac
tice drill, Leroy Lucas, giant tackle
on the Varsity eleven last year, went
through a prolonged drill tackling
the dummy Tuesday afternoon. The
huiky Nebraskan put in the after
noon at hard practice and lost sev
eral pounds from his strenuous drill.
"Bunny" Oakes, line coach, will be
on hand to drill the linemen who re
port. In addition to Oakes, Charley
Black, Leo Scherer, and Ray Lehman
will be on the field to give the candidate-'
a strenuous workout during
the fifteen day practice period.

Co-Eds Gather
To Join Mystic
New Auxiliary
(By Bill McCIeery)
"Mah-ah!" Don't run, boys, you
don't have to hold the baby that's
just the Nanny Goat password. For
the benefit of those University stu
dents who have been ill, out of town,
or just illiterate, we will explain that
the Nanny Goats is just the Billy :thenext presidjent,
Goats auxiliary. If you don't know'
about the Billy Goats come down to
a special night class at The Daily
Nebraskan office New Year's eve.
This is no horsefeathers. Every
lady in the registrar's office has
joined the sacred order of Nanny
Goats under the registrar lodge. llWeibaldt Foundations, with head-
you expect to rate at the registrar's
office (nobody does anyway) you'll
have to be a Billy or a Nanny Goat.
The only thing on male students'
lips is "Bah-a-a-1" And practically
(get that practically) the only
thing on co-ed's lips is "Mah-ah".
O K M N X we're twenty thousand
(20 comma 000) strong! One lodge
has offered a little variation on the
password it is "O. K. Emma
necks". If Emma will please call
please.
All Men Take Oath
Practically every fraternity on the
campus is represented in Billy Goats,
Barney Google, exalted angora
might be mad if he saw some of the

Any student in school is eligible
for the position, although upper

Factions Will
Not Matter in
'Straw9 Voting
Students Abandon Sides for
Election Today; Groups
Have Favorites
To-day is the day that Nebraska
university political factions are no
more. Perhaps they will reappear
for the annual spring elections and at
the Pershing Rifle try-outs but to
day, Wednesday, leaders of the north
and south parties cannot dictate. Ne
braska students will have an opportu
nity to "vote as they please" when
the ballots are passed at the nine o'
clock classes to decide the student's
choice for our next president.
The political science department is
to be congratulated on its work ir
promoting the vote and realizing that
the college and university students of
today are the voters of to-morrow
(not excluding those that have the
privilege of voting now). 1940 em
bryo political kings will have their
first opportunity to "swing into ac
tion," as the saying goes.
New Men Appear
The Phi Gams have reigned su
preme for the past seven years since
"Cal" has been in office and their
strong rushing talk is getting weaker
and weaker as November draws near.
The Betas no doubt are backing Low
den and Borah strong, seeing that
they are brothers of the "maybe'1
presidents while the D. U.'s are pull
ing for Dawes and Hughes. There
may be a split in the political faction
vote and who knows, maybe "Al"
Smith will win. But then again!!
The Phi Gams have had their day and
"Cal docs not choose to nfh."
It will really be a pleasure to nor
be molested by the usual election cry
of "vote for me", "vote for her", or
"remember how things are going".
Anyway the Temple building and the
corner of Twelfth and R will not be
bothered with the usual election pro
ceedings.
But it's a real "straw" election
which may indicate which way the
wind's blowing. Some anti-collcg-ians
have even charged that it is an
attempt of college youth to dictate

JAMES A. REED
By CHARLES G. ROSS
Washington Correspondent, the St. Louis
1'ost-Dinpatch
Declared an outcast by his party
in 1920, Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri, bitter-end opponent of the
Wilson policy of international co-op
eration, today has the unanimous in
dorsement of the Missouri State
Democratic Committee for the presi
dential nomination by that party.
In 1910 Reed defeated David R.
Francis of St. Louis for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
Senator and was elected. It tells
something 01 his aDUity as a cam
paigner to lecall that he has never
been beaten on a direct appeal to his
constituents; all his political defeats
have teen , at the hands of conven
tions.
Unbound by Rules
The record shows that Reed was
not long bound by the unwritten rule
that a new Senator shall be seen
and not heard. He soon gave evi
dence of the oratorical power and
debating skill that have helped to
bring him to his present prominence..
Several tf his earlier upeeeheo were
in favor of downward revision of
the tariff; this reminds one of the
planks of his platform today. He

addressed to the Republican Nation
al Convention in 1920, Frank B
Willis, senator from Ohio, caught
the fancy of the weary delegates in
the old Coliseum in Chicago. He
placed in nomination the man who
was to emerge victorious from the
deadlock caused by the adherents of
Gen. Leonard Wood, Frank O. Low
den and Hiram Johnson. He also
brought attention to himself. Not
long afterward he was nominated
and elected to the Senate scat which
was then held by Warren G. Hard
ing. Today Senator Willis is himself
a candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for president in 1928.
He takes an interest in the farm
problem of today. But he does not
favor the McNary-Haugen farm aid
bill, which President Coolidgo vetoed
because of its equalization fee pro- training of the Teachers College, has
