Arlington, Neb., broke the record for the shot put with a toss of 38 feet 10 inches. In the 60 yard dash George Smutny, Seward, Neb., ran the 50 yard dash in 6 seconds flat. Both of these per formances are remarkable consid ering that the men are competitlng in the regular army uniform.

The to tal po'ais in each event are aver aged, thua determining the com pany's score. Company "H" won the competition last year. Breaks Winter Program. The purpose of the meet Is to break the winter training program of the department of military sci ence and to discover any possible material for the varsity team. Last year this meet disclosed many po tential candidates who otherwise would never have gone out for track. Under this plan the mini mum number of track prospects will be lost to the University each year. At the close of the meet, high point men from each compauj will lake part in an indoor track meet. A cup Is presented to the company taking first place, and prizes will be awarded to first, second and third men scoring the highest num ber of points. Each week two events are run off. This week the shot put and 50 yard dash will take place. The complete company averages have not yet been compiled, but there have been some very good records made In the events.

I OU GfrLLtY I L. . ' Now that tne new year has been ushered in, track coaches in the Big Six are getting organized for the first year in tne new . confer ence. Prospects at Iowa State look favorable with a loss of nine letter men from last year's cinder team. Coach Bob Simpson expects a well balanced team this season and says the prospects look bright. Down at Kansas. Dr. Huff will be troubled slightly with weight men and will have a strong representation in the distance events with captain "Poco" Frazier heading the list Oklahoma looks to be one of the istronaest for the Indoor meet. Ths Sooners captured the indoor title last season and have an abundance of veteran material to start off the 1929 season. Nebraska's track pros pects are quite in the dark at the present but it is certain that "the grand old man of Nebraska," Coach Henrv F. Schulte. will turn out a track team that will be represent tive of the Cornhusker school. "Phog" Allen and his Kansas basketball team returned from the disastrous trip to the western coast to take ou the Oklahoma Sooners last night to open up the Big Six court season. The Allen crew from down on the Kaw got off to a poor start, losing five games out of the first six played. Members of the Big Six conference were looking forward to Allen doing big things with his basket snaggers this sea son as last year the Kansas coach used quite a number of sopho mores in his lineup to give him seasoned material for this year. Washburn officially opened the sea son for the Jayhawkers by taking the Kansas five into camp at To peka. Notre Dame came out to Kansas City to take the count on the Allen crew and Missouri like wise slipped in for a win. A long trip to the coast netted Kansas two defeats and their first win. Allen claims the reason for the poor rec ord so far is that the offense has been poor. "Rub" Thompson, stel lar Jayhawk forward, is one of the outstanding court men in the Big Six and at present before the Big Six gets well under way, the Kan sas forward is leading the scoring column. . Coach A. N. "Bo" McMillin, foot ball mentor at Kansas Aggies, it considering for the head coachship at Texas Christian university at Fort Worth, Texas, to take the place of Madison Bell who went to Texas Aggies. McMillin Just came to the Wildcat school last fall and although he did not win a game In the Big Six, he turned out a fast team of gridders considering the material he received. D. X. Bible, the new Nebraska tutor, has a great deal of respect for the Aggie mentor down at Manhattan. He thinks that McMillin will take the offer at Fort Worth as that is his home and the school offer more opportunity than the Aggie school at Kansas. It is quite evident that Coach Bible will give Nebraska football lovers all they have been asking for during the past four years. At a luncheon Friday noon, the new Cornhusker football coach outlined a brief bit or his ideas on football. The new grid mentor is strictly against outlining to a quarterback what plays to use on the field. The book fashion does not rate with Coach Bible as the opposing team must be considered more than the chart idea. One of Coach Bible's pet theories Is passing, and passing on the second down if the passing game can be used to any advan tage. With two yards to go and the second down he advocates passing. as It is touchdowns that are needed, not first downs. Coach Bible is a member of the national rules committee but he declined to mention anything on that phase of football. The rules committee meets sometime the latter part of January or first of February. Coach Johnny Kellogg's Husker grapplers performed for the first time last night in the Coliseum, The Nebraska mat men look good for early season competition and hould be one of the strong con tenders in the Big Six conference. Iowa State, Oklahoma and Missouri will all have powerful mat teams this season and should furnish plenty of fight for the conference title. Four veterans were lost to the Nebraska squad by graduation last year but Kellogg has replaced these men with new material that looks good. Boy Named for A Gridiron Hero Now Plays Game Columbus. Ohio. (IP) In the football season of the year 1916, when Ohio State won its first Big Ten championship, Tony Acquilla, local trainer, was the proud father of a baby boy, the first heir of the Acquilla family. And what is more, the proud parent was comfortably sealed on the special, bound for Urbana, III., where the annual Ohio State-Illi nois came was scheduled for the following afternoon. As the train sped on, some one asked Tony what his son's name was to be. Acquilla answered, on the spur of the minute, "We will name htm after the Ohio man who makes the first touchdown." Later. The score was 6-0 in favor of Illinois, and with the game n earing Its end, baby Acqulla seemed doomed to go down through life without a name. Then Chic Harley, now a mem ber of the Ohio State coaching staff, saved the day. He tied the score with a touchdown, and while the crowd waited breathlessly railed time out while he changed his muddy shoes before kicking the winning goal. Chic Harley Acqulla Is now twelve yaaxs old. And is It any wonder that Chic Harley, who saved htm from a nameless life, is his hero? and that he, too, want to play football when be gets t? college? Chic Acqulla Is getting an early start. He is on the second squad at bis high school, and hopes to make the first team next season.

SECOND DRILL STAGE Coach Oakes Leaves First ; Fundamentals for More Technical Points Freshman basketball squad has been showing up very well In the nightly scrimmage with the-Varsity this week. Although the turn out has not been as great as was expected the squad is a good sized group. Coach Bernard Oakes said, "The material in this squad is very good but the men do not have the excep tional ability as did the men of last year. The size of the average player is somewhat smaller than those of last year but they may be able to overcome this difference in size by speed and deception." The squad has advanced beyond the fundamentals and have Just be gan to develop an offense. Later in the season Oaks plans to divide the squad into teams according to their ability and these groups play a regular schedule and. decide the champions of the freshmen. Among those looking good were Rhea, former Arlington high school star; Hokuf, malnBtay in Crete's lineup last year; Koster and Gross man, a pair of Lincoln high stars; Skov, graduate of Kearney high school; Conklln, from Wenth worth Military academy; Ju...ovlc from Ohio; Smith and Wilson. Although Oaks was disappointed in the num ber turning out, he has some very valuable material and several ought to be Varsity men next year.
