The fast stepping Oklahoma
Sooners eater this week to make
the final dash down the borne
stretch to the championship. Coach
Hugh McDermott has his Sooner
rive in the best of condition and is
going to put 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 tbe Big
Six conference and the second con
secutive basketball title. Tbe Tiger
quintet Is doped as the underdog
in tbe Sooner tame at Norman but
should the Mlsson Ave turn In a
win. It would throw the conference
Into a tie between Oklahoma and
Missouri.
Sooner Defeat Kansas
Lent we-k tb Strs opened
tb3 week's play by losing a game
to Washington of St. Louis and
then ending up the week by de
feating tbe Kansas Aggies In a
vertlble landslide. The Kansas
Farmers were the ninth Big Six vic
tim of the southern crew and the
second time they were forced to
take a, beating from the Okla
homans. Missouri took tbe once
powerful Kansas Jayhawkers to a
trimming to th tune ot 83 to 20 to
remain la the running for the title.
At ha) Mime of the Tlger-Jayhawk
game, the score was knotted at 18
ail but tbe second half Cash of tbe
ColunuMa crew ended In disaster
for Dr. "Rior" Allen and his men
from the Kaw. This made the
third defeat tor Kansas at the
hands of Missouri, the first contest
was a noBrOonference.
There are five conference games
remaining oa the Big 81x schedule

Nebraaka's Scarlet basketeera

Nebraska has turned t a few more
vteiortes than the Kansas quints.
The tews trip resultad In a win

game, The Nebraskans have ens
more conference game and that

Last week's athletic events were
,r.-r;Ma r the week befm-e
STILL ON HUSKER
w ben Nebraska - made a clean
sweep of all evinl entered which
were basketball, track, and wrest
ling. Last week Coach Schulte's
irackstera were the only unamln
otisly victorious team although the
basketball team broke even In
their trip up uorth. Tbe wrestling
team dropped a conference match
to Oklahoma to end the week s
activities. In track the Husker
thluclads made a good showing and
are rated as one of the leaders In
the confercneo indoor boards. In
wrestling the Husker grapplers
were outclassed against the Soon-
ers
And now com a rtport from
the eastern Nebraska alumni that
at last has picked a football coach
that she hsi needed for ysars. In
other words. Coach D. X. Bible
made a big hit with New York
alumni of the Comhusker school
and until 0. ., losss a gams they
are going to be strong for him. But
they of New York think D. X, has
coma to Nebraska to stay. His per
sonality which won a great follow
ing In Lincoln has dona the aame
at Manhattan. The Husker grid
iron mentor has baen 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 He
states that the new coach at Husk.
erland will establish a reign of suc
cess such as Fielding Yost has
done at Michigan for thirty years.
We all get enthusiastic when a
new coach takes up bis duties with
the Scarlet men of Nebraska. We
predict all kinds of successes
that he will go a long ways In put
In Nebraska fotbalt on top of the
world. He is the super-human and
haa no faults he will never make
a mistake He is nlrl on a
pedestal and after the dust has
died away from the gridiron and
the new Nebraska coach has lost
his first game, w ill all these alumni.
all these faithful followers of the
Scarlet and Cream stick behind
their football coach? Coach Dana
X. Bible has been given ODe of the
greatest ovations ever to be ac
corded a Nebraska coach and it is
evident that it has not been limited
to the state or Nebraska as the re
port from New York shows that
the 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 unamlnously
and back D. . Bible until the sea
son or seasons Is bygone history.
Basketball aeason will be ever
for Nebraska fans Saturday night
when Coach Black's Scarlet cagers
meet the Kansas Aggie five. The
Scarlet five Is booked to win the
Aggie tilt and will. climax the 1928
Big Six cage race. The Huakers
now in fourth place still have a
chance to climb up into the first
division with the moguls of the con
ference hardwoods but the chance
Is slim and the Staters from Ames
wtto took the Friday nloht aame
and third place will have to droo

INFIRMARY PLANS
Money Used for Maintenance
Comes From Students,
Not Legislature
Recently a letler appeared in the
editorial columns of local news
papers which attacked the policy
of the University in su implying free
medical service to students. The
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
is made possible at least to a large
extent by the appropriation of the
legislature for university main
tenance." Students Psy Fees
Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of tbe Col
lege of Pharmacy, wishes to cor
rect this erroneous impression of
the free medical service. "The
money which is needed to supply
this service," he slates, "Is ob
tained from the students alone. The
legislature makes no sppropriation
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 s university doctor. A stu
dent may call in any physician he
wishes, he said. He may even es
tablish himself in the infirmary at
the regular cost, bnt under the at
tention of his own personal doctor.
Students should remember, how
ever, that In ease a city physician
is called in, the University will not
bear tbe expenses involved.

STATE CAGE TOURNEY
STARTS ON MARCH 1
New District Plan Restricts
Entries; Over Hundred
Teams Entered
GISH ASKS FOR HELPERS
Nebraska's slate high school bas
ketball tourney will get under way
Thursday, March 7, with approxi
mately 128 teams entered In the
play for championships. This year's
tournament will be run off In a dif
ferent manner from the 1928 cham
pionship flight for in place of let-
tnig any team that has won a cer
tain percentage of games enter, this
year's district plan will restrict
over two-thirds or last year s en
trees. Ths athletic office is cslling
for man who wish to work dur
ing the high school basketball
tournament. Referees, umpires,
scorers and timekeepers will be
needed to handle the tourney
and Herbert Glen, director of
athletics, requests that all msn
sign up st the athletic office.
Have Eight Classes
This year's tournament will con
sist of eight classes with sixteen
teams to a class. With the small
number entered in comparison to
the larger number last year, tourna
ment officials will be able to handle
the play in a more efficient manner.
Athletic Director Herb Glsh does
not expect the full quota of teams
to enter. There are at present 128
teams eligible to enter the meet but
he does not expect some of these
to enter.
Tournament Play will be in the
Coliseum with games starting in the
morning at t o'clock and 2 o'clock
in the aflettioon. The arangement
of courts in the Coliseum will be
different from past years, in that
the Varsity court will be used for
games throughout the tourney. The
freshman oourt on the main floor
will also be used as well as the
stage court and the floor in the
basement. Tournament officials be
lieve this plaa will be more effec
tive in that it will create more In
terest to tourney followers.
Use New Classifications
The classification of the teams
will be made up the latter part of
this week and C-lsh stated that tbe
same classification that held for the
district tourneys will not hold for
the state meet In Lincoln. Ths
teams entering will be re-classed
and entered In tbe seven or eirhi
divisions.
Classification will be based on
tbe following:
Season's record.
District tourney.
Size of town.
Number or men in high school.
Number of seniors In high school.
Previous tourney experience.
There were 24 district tourna
ments in the state which have for

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 Henrv K. Schulte's .scarlet
and Cream tracksters resumed rig
Id training. Monday, for tne nri
Big Six conference meet. sch-Uul-U
for this Friday on the convention
ball Indoor boards st Ksnsas City.
All the schools of the recently
formed conference will vie for
championships honors in this an
nual event, the headlining event of
this week's athletic activities.
Speculation as to the possible
wlnninr combination Is somewhat ,
up in tbe air as practically all of the i
cccferenc tms hsve senin'i
ell balanced squads to throw into
the competition. Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa State and Oklahoma seem tne
strongest, ss the Kansas Aggie ath
letes, hampered by lack of indoor
facilities, have not shown much
strength to date.
Soonsrs Lack Number..
The Oklahoma Sooners. according
to reports from the southern school,
lack numbers, their team being
small in the esrly season workouts.
The Jayhawk victory over the Mis
souri Tigers in their 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 i
large squad to the Kansas City
meet, with- the hope of picking up
several extra points. Comparative
dope indicates that the Cornhusker
strength will lie in the sbility of
the scarlet Jerseyed athletes to pick
up seconds, thirds, and fouiths and
will make a strong bid for first
place honors.
Try-outs for the fifty yard dash.
hurdles, and high jump w ill be run '
off Tuesday afternoon while the
other events will find practically
the same men competing as took
part in tbe Iowa State meet.
