READY FOR VICTORY
Jayhawkers Look to Tennis
Championship; Coen
Looms Strong.
WIZARD PLAYS STARS
The University of Kansas is all
set to make away with still
another championship, in addition
to its supremacy in football and
basketball this year, if the enthu
siastic reports emanating from the
Lawrence institution can be be
lieved. This time the sport is tennis,
and optimistic as the Jayhawks
are, they seem able to back up
their talk with plenty of potent
statistics. First of all, they point
to the presence of one Wilbur F.
(Junior) Coen, who calls Kansas
City his home, and who two years
ago ranked No. 8 in the national
tennis scoring.
This young net wizard, who has
Ixeu the protege of Big Bill Til
den, has spent the greater part of
the past two or three years in Eu
rope, playing many of the great
stars of the game.
Coach Walter R. Smith of the
Kansas team is therefore counting
upon Coen to become the outstand
ing racket wielder in the Big Six
this season, which won't be such a
difficult job for a performer of
Coen's recognized ability.
With Coen, moreover, there will
be Ted O'Leary of basketball fame,
who was the No. 1 man for Kansas
last season. Besides O'Leary two
additional lettermen will be back
in the persons of Leonard Prosser
and George Hurd. To top this off,
George Allred, captain of the Jay
hawk team two years ago will be
back for his final year of competi
tion. So it can be seen that the Ne
braska netsters will have their
hands full, when they encounter
the Jayhawks at Lawrence on
May 11. The Husker squad meets
Kansas on that date in a trip
which finds them confronting Mis
souri at Columbia May 9, and then
completing the swing against the
Kansas Aggies on May 12.
Answer Is Given to What
Type of Instruction
Should Be Had.
fSyrcut Dally Orange )
Syracuse's answer to the prob
lem of what type of instruction to
give the superior freshmen admit
ted to the Untversity is presented
in a release received j'esterday
from the office of Dean Griffith,
head of the lower division. Ac
cording to the dean the solution
Is to take the form of a course,
entirely tutorial in nature and de
signed to give 30 chosen freshman
of the class of '35 a new cultural
outlook on life and the world
about him by acquainting him with
the earlier civilizations through
discussions with his tutors.
The instruction in this new
course approved by liberal arts
and which goes into effect in the
fall will be in the hands of Profes
sor Capper-Johnson of the school
of citizenship. Dr. Fisher of the
department of sociology, and Mr.
Abraham of the college of liberal
arts, the tutors appointed to help
carry out the scheme. The thirty
freshmen under these men will be
chosen mostly by recommendation
of their high school principals and
by the co-operation of the admis
sions office.
Readings from Great Writers.
The work to be done under these
men will necessitate each student's
meeting his tutor not less than
once a week for an hour confer
ence, reading widely under the di
rection of the instructor and pre
paring one essay every week or
two of reasonable length on an
assigned subject. Finally he shall
be prepared to discuss thoroughly
the subject of his essay with his
tutor and be ready to defend his
assertions with competent argu
ment. As far as possible, the required
reading on the problems under
consideration will be taken from
the great writers of all periods.
The essays submitted will be rig
orously criticized and high stand
ards required in accurate expres
sion, logical development and good
composition. To this end the Eng
lish department has offered to co
operate. Nine Hours Credit Given.
Finally, the work shall be such
as to cause the student to approach ;
modem problems witn logical
thought and with a critical mind.
The reading shall be in part de
signed ot illustrate the develop
ment of scientific methods and il
luminate the problems of the pres
ent with a brief study of the past.
This work will take up three
fifths of the time of the first year
and the chosen freshmen will re
ceive nine hours credit for the
course per semester. This work
plus a language and science to be
taken in the regular manner will
constitute the work for the year.
The language and science are to be
given by class room and laboratory
study because it is thought that
the material under consideration
can be handled better in this man
ner thau by tutorial instruction.

ORE than 46,000 persons
watched the University of
Kansas basketball team in action
this season, according to figures
issued by Dr. F. C. Allen, director
of athletics and basketball coach
at the Javhawk school.
Tn eight games at home 18,843
invaded the palatial coliseum De
longing to the Jays, while 27,234
watched the Kansans perform
away from home. And the largest
crowd that Allen's men worked
before gathered at the Husker
coliseum here in Lincoln when
6,650 persons saw Kansas defeat
Nebraska 34 to 29. It would look
as if interest in basketball was on
the up and up trail.
Imagine twelve foot baskets,
and all players but the centers be
ing restrained from coming within
ten feet of the center of the floor
when the ball is being put into
play. Yet these are among the
suggested changes that the bas
ketball rules committee will pass
on in New York soon.
JIMMY Lewis tells one on Nuer
enberger. It seems that Gor
don was browsing around en
armored in spikes and sweat suit
the other afternoon when he dis
cerned an untied shoe lace. He sat
down on a bench to remedy the
"sitchiation" and had taken off
both shoes before remembering
that the original intention was to
retie the unruly lace. Tbey say,
however, that absent mindedness
is a symptom of the power to con
centrate and anyhow there is noth
ing absent minded about the way
Nuerenbeiger runs.
Presto, Feeliocous, Chango, and
Bumm, Bumm and the coliseum
is an opera house quite as quickly
as if it had been lured from some
magician's hat. Three days ago
men were playing tennis on the
main floor, volley ball back toward
the stage and tumbling about on
the stage midst full gymnasium
array. And last night great
crowds thronged the place in
search of culture and what not.
A FTER weighty meditation we
guess the attendance at some
where between 5,500 and 23,229.
It's poor policy for a sports edi
tor to declare himself so specifi
cally on such a matter because he
might miss in his calculations and
that's always bad. We'll take a
long chance just this once, how
ever. It's worth going to the opera
just to see that they make cur
tains big enough to cover the gan
in the coliseum stage. And it'.s
worth mentioning that it cost
$1,000 (meaning in that vicinity)
to put in the false floor so that the
people in back could at least hear
over the folks in front.

NEW LETTER SYSTEM
Athletic Director Shows
Advantage of Major-
Mmor Awards.
ALL GAMES SET ON PAR
Beginning with basketbair and
governing letter recognition In all
sports hereafter, the University of
Nebraska has adopted the system
of major and minor awards.
In explaining this move, H. D.
Gish, director of Hu3ker athletics,
stated that it was the intention to
"put into effect an award that is
in proportion to the service ren
dered by the athlete."
Mr. Gish pointed out that a
man should be rewarded for qual
ities other than those strictly ath
letic. "Time played, scholarship,
services to the team, conduct both
on and off the field as well as
athletic ability shall be the de
terming factors in the award."
The above quotation Is the crit
erion on which the committee on
awards bases its decisions a to
whom shall be major and minor
letter men.
Gish Gives Example.
Last semester a Coinhusker
football player fought at his posi
tion a large part of every game,
carried eighteen hours successful
ly, was an all-Big Six selection,
and will have a letter in three
sports before the school year is
over. Another man barely fulfilled
his forty-eight miuutes require
ment necessary for a letter and
failed in all but four of sixteen
hours.
"Should these two men receive
the same major award?" Mr.
Gish asked. It is for instances
such as this one that the new rule
has been instituted.
One of the effects of the major
braska swimming, wrestling, ten
minor innovation is to place all
sports on par. Previously at Ne-
nis and other such games have
been considered minor sports. Re
gardless of how excellent a rac-
queteer might be, of how swiftly
a man could execute the 100-yard
free style his letter came on a
coat-swater indicative of a lower
rating than a football or basket
ball player or trackman might
receive.
In 1929 Charles Heacock won
the conference tennis champion
ship. According to the existing
rules he would have been given
only a minor sweater but the ath
letic board arbitrarily honored his
accomplishment with a six by six
inch major sweater.
Board Can Not Decide.
Herb Gish explained that it is
not for the athletic board to single
out three or four sports and say
"these are the major athletic
games at the University of Ne
braska. For, says Mr. Gish,
swimming is just as important to
the swimmer as football to the
gridiron adherent and the great
men in each sport deserve credit
for their excellencies."
Gish pointed out that the major-
minor move was taking nothing
away from the athlete. In fact
more men will probably be given
letters. There is no distinction in
the honors which the major and
minor letters carry.
Both sweaters will be of the
same weight for all sports unless
otherwise chosen by the individual.
The only difference will be that
the "Ns" themselves will be
blocked at the corners for major
awards and will be plain in the
case of minor presentations.
On graduation from the univer
sity of Nebraska the man who has
earned one letter will receive a
bronze life-pass medal which will
entitle him to admittance to any
Husker athletic contest as long as
he lives. Two letters change this
medal to silver and three carry a
gold award and a blanket with an
"N" on it.
With the exception of a major
football "N," all lelters will here
after be the same size, six by six
inches, unless a five inch letter on
a coat sweater is requested.

Nebraska Shuttle Relay Quartet
Sets New Record Because Petz and
White Refuse
BY JOE
' There is a little story behind the brilliant success achieved
by Conch Henry K. "Indian" Schulte s shuttle relay quartet at
the Illinois rebivs lust Saturday nisrht, when the Scarlet and
Cream trackstcrs sped over the ,120 yard stretch of hurdles to
set up a new meet record of 40.5 seconds.
The st if test kind of competition was encountered by the
Hnskers at
Chnmpaiern. for the
Illinois relays ore considered the
blue ribbon meet or uie couegiaie
Indoor track season, attracting
something like 700 athletes. This
situation didn't seem to affect the
Cornhuskers adversely, however,
for they came through with the
lion's share of team honors, win
ning three firsts, a second, and a
third.
Petz and White are Left.
Now, to get to the story. Coach
Schulte at first planned to take
his shuttle relay men, but he de
cided to abandon the idea after
mulling over the fact that if one
of his hurdlers happened to trip
on a hurdle, the efforts of the
other three men would go for
naught. Therefore, when the Hus
ker partv of seven cincier stars
pulled out of Lincoln by auto last
Thursday bound for Illinois, two
members of the shuttle relay team
were left behind. Lamson and
Smutny, who composed the other
half of the quartet, accompanied
the party, because Schulte planned
to use them in the individual nign
and low hurdle events.
But Harold Petz and Merle
White, the two barrier artists left
at home, decided that they had
other plans, and approximately
fifteen minutes after their team
mates had gone, Petz and White
were also on their way to Cham
paign. Fi-lday afternoon when
the "Indian" and his seven track
men arrived at their destination,
whom did they see waiting for
them but Petz and White!
Set New Meet Record.
Schulte did some quick figuring
and withdrew Lamson and Smutny
from the hurdle races, to save
them for the shuttle relay event.
The rest is history.
According to the veteran track
mentor, Petz and White both ran
a beautiful race, and he attributes
the great showing of his men to
the fighting spirit displayed by
these two lads who wouldn't stay
home.
