With the Missouri game last
nigb. tbe Nebraska cagers have
yet one more Big Six foe to meet
on thai schedule and that, the
Kansas Aggies from Manhattan
whe come to the H inker court on
Saturday nlgbt. The Aggies have
previously defeated the Scarlet on

predict that the Nebraska quintet
will take the count on the Aggies In
this week's eonfllcL A preliminary
gum between Coaeh "Bunny"
Oakes' freshmen team And the Col
lege or Agriculture five -will be the
curtain raiser Saturday night.
The fast stepping Oklahoma
Sooners enter this week to make
the final dash down tbe borne
stretch to the championship. Coach
Hugh McDennott has bis Sooner
five In the best of condition and Is
going to pat everything In Okla
homa basketball on the court Sat
urday night at Norman to snow un
der the Missouri Tigers; and win
the first championship of the Big
Six conference and the eecond con
secutive basketball title. The Tiger
quintet is doped as the underdog
in the Sooner game at Norman but
should the Misson five turn In a
win, it would throw the conference
into a tie between Oklahoma and
Missouri.
Sooners Defeat Kansas
Last week the Sooner opened
the week's play by losing a game
to Washington of St. Louis and
then ending 119 the week by de
feating the Kansas Aggies In a
vertlble landslide. The Insas
Farmers were the ateth Big Six ric
tlm of the southern crew and the
uecond. time they were forced to
take a beating from the Okla
homans. Missouri took the once
powerful Kansas Jayhawkers to a
'.rimming to tbe tune of 33 to 20 to
remain in the running tor the title.
At bUf-ttBse of the Tla-crsJaybawa:
game, tbe sorre wm knotted at U
all but the second half flash of tbe
Columbia crew ended In disaster
for D Tbog" Allen and bis men
from toe Kaw. This made the
third defeat Cor Kansas at tbe
bands of Missouri, the first contest
was a noa-eonference.
There are five conference games
remxlnlns; oa the Big Six schedule
and four of them will be played
this week. Nebraska met Missouri
at Columbia last night, Kansas will
meet Iowa State At Ames Thursday
and Nebraska will meet the Aggies
Saturday.

Nebraska's Scarlet basketeers
had a bit of trouble on the Iowa
Invasion last week and Incidently
dropped Into the second division in
the Big Six conference. The Husk
ers are now classed with the Jay
hawks and Kansas Farmers only
Nebraska has turned In a few more
victories than the Kansas quints.
The lews tfrtp resulted In a win
and A alsfeit but the win was not
standing In the conference. From
Dee Moines Coach Black took his
cagera to Columbia where they
game. The Nebrasksns have one
-.are enf erenee game and that
comes off Saturday night en the
Coliseum hardwoods with the Kan
sas Aggies from Manhattan. The
Aca'es have once taken the count
en Nebraska but the Saturday dope
favors A win for the Scarlet.
Last week's sthletic events were
n reptiticn of tbe week before
wheu Nobraaka made a clean
sweep of all svonts entered which
were basketball, track, and wrest
ling. Last week Coach Schulte's
trackstors were the only unanim
ously victorious team although the
basketball loam broke even lu
their trip up north. The wrestllug
team dropped a conference match
to Oklahoma to end- the week's
activities. In track the Husker
thinclads made a good showing and
are rated as one of the leaders In
the conference Indoor boards. In
wrestling the Husker grapplers
were outclassed against the Soon
ers
And now comes a report from
the eastern Nebraska alumni that
at last has picked a football coach
that ahe has nsedsd for years. In
other words, Coach D. X. Bible
made a big hit with New York
alumni of the Cornhuskar school
and until D. ., loses a game they
are going to be strong for him. But
they of New York think D. X., has
come to Nebraska to stay. His per
sonality which won a great follow
ing In Lincoln has done the same
at Manhattan. The Husker grid-
Iron mentor hat been in New York
during the past week meeting with
the National Rules committee on
football. Clyde Elliott writes to the
Lincoln Star the report of the
alumni banquet in New York at
which Coach Bible was a guest Ha
states that the new coach at Husk
erland will establish a reign of suc
cess such- as Fielding Yost haa
done at Michigan for thirty years.
We all get enthusiastic when a
new coach takea up his duties with
the Scarlet men of Nebraska. We
predict all kinds of successes
that he will go a long ways In put
In Nebraska fotball on top of the
world. He Is tbe super-human and
has no faults be will never make
a uiioUke. Ha Is uiaced on a
pedestal and after the dust has
died away from the gridiron and
the new Nebraska coach has lost
his first game, will all these alumni,
all these faithful followers of the
Scarlet and Cream stick behind
their football coach? Coach Dana
X. Bible has been given one of the
greatest ovations ever to be ac
corded a Nebraska coach and It Is
evident that it bas not been limited
to the state of Nebraska as tbe re
port from New York shows that
tbe eastern alumni have likewise
been won over to Coach Bible. It
Is our suppressed desire that when
Coach Bible turns in his Initial de
feat next year or year after next
or whenever It Is slated, that Husk-
erland will rise up unaminously
and back D. . Bible until the sea
son or seasons is bygone history.
Basketball season will be over
for Nebraska fans Saturday night
when Coach dlack's Scarlet cagera
meet the Kansas Aggie five. The
8crlet five Is booked to win the
Aggie tilt and will climax the 1929
Big Six cage race. The Huskers
now In fourth place still have a
chance to climb up Into the first
division with the moouls of the con
ference hardwoods but the chance
Is slim and the Staters from Ames
who took the Friday night game
and third place will have to drop
their Tuesday conflict with Kansaa

INFIRMARY PLANS
Money Used for Maintenance
Comes From Students,
Not Legislature
Recently a letter appeared in the
editorial columns of local news
papers which attacked tbe policy
of the University in supplying free
medical service to students. Tbe
letter was signed by a taxpayer of
the state and is partially quoted as
follows:
"What occasion or condition ex
ists that demands this socialistic
policy at the University of Ne
braska? I assume that the free
hospital and free medical service
s made possible at least to a large
extent by the appropriation of the
legislature for university main
tenance." Students Pay Fees
Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of the Col
lege of Pharmacy, wishes to cor
rect this erroneous impression of
the free medical service. "The
money which id needed to supply
this service," he 3tates, "Is ob
tained from the students alone. The
legislature makes no appropriation
for this purpose." Dr. Lyman goes
on to say that beginning next year
the Infirmary will be supported by
a fee of one dollar which all stu
dents will be required to pay. The
service has already been estab
lished by a special' donation.
Dr. Lyman also wishes to correct
the misunderstanding that students
who are ill must submit to the serv
ices of a university doctor. A stu
dent may call In any physician be
wishes, he said. He may even es
tablish himself in the infirmary at
the regular cost but under the at
tention of his own personal doctor.
Students should remember, how
ever, that in case, a city physician
is called la, the University will not
bear tbe expenses Involved.

The New York press Is favorable
to and Interested in Nebraska's
new coach. It Is taken for granted
that they will watch his work at
Nebraska. A team mat nas provec
to be a perpetual stumbling block
for tbe University of New York
will need watching, Is their view
point. Significant among the recommen
dations of prominent men In foot
ball Is that of E. K. Hall of the
national rules committee, who, al
though not able to attend the ban
quet given to Mr. Bible, sent his
recommendations. Mr. Hall said
that he Is easily one of the out
standing coaches of the country to
day. He is secure In the belief that
Bible Is a coach who puts the In
terests of the boys and the inter
est of I he game before tbe mere
fact of winning the games. Besides
this, lie characterized the new
tuaih as a man whose influence
In the University itself would be
continuously and definitely to the
good. His influence both on and
off the field will be far-reaching,
he said.

Scarlet Team Prepares for
Meet at Kansas City
Set for Friday
IS FIRST BIG SIX MEET
Fresh from a dual victory over
the Iowa State cinder athletes.
Coach Henry F. Schulte's hrariet
and Cream tracksters resumed rig-
Id tranlnr. Monday, for tne rum
Big Six conference meet, scheduled i
for this Friday on the convenuou
hall Indoor boards at Kansas City.
All the schools of the recently
formed conference will vie for
chamDlonshlDS honors In this an
nual event, the headlining event of
this week's athletic activities.
Sneculation as to the possime
wlnnlna combination is somewhat
up In tbe air as practically all of the
conference teams have assembled
well balanced squads to throw Into
the competition. Kansas. Missouri,
Iowa State and Oklahoma seem the
strongest, as the Kansas Aggie ath
letes, hampered by lack or inuoor
facilities, have not shown much
strength to date.
Sooners Lack Number;.
Tbe Oklahoma Sooners, according
to reports from the southern school,
lack numbers, their team being
small In the early season workouts.
The Jayhawk victory over the Mis
souri Tigers In thlr annual dual
meet last week end was very im
pressive and last year's Missouri
Valley conference outdoor cham
pions appear to have a winning ag
gregation in the field again this
season.
Coach Schulte plans on taking a
large squad to the Kansas City
meet, with the hope of picking up
several extra points. Comparative
dope indicates that the Cornhusker
strength will He In the ability or
the scarlet jerseyed athletes to pick
up Beconds, thirds, and fourths and
will make a strong bid for first

Try-outs for the fifty yard dash,
