By JOE MILLER.
Four hundred athletes, cream of the Nebraska rep erop,
Thursday afternoon will begin a three day drive for slate high
school honors in basketball, wrestling ami swimming nt the
coliseum.
Hasketball class - and B titles are scheduled to open the
'ourney program when Sprague-Martel meets Mascot in a class
F mix at 12:30 this afternoon.o
Championship class A games get
under way at 1:00, with Sidney
playing Columbus on the varsity
or A court.
Wrestling champions start Fri
day afternoon with preliminaries
at 2:30. The bouts will be held on
the coliseum stage. Mat finals
have been set for Saturday, pre
liminaries scheduled for 10 a. m.
with the finals in the afternoon.
. Five bands have accepted invi
tations to play during the tourney,
Secretary Black announced Wed
nesday. Irving junior high musi
cians will play Thursday after
noon; Lincoln high, Thursday eve
ning; Havelock high, Friday aft
ernoon: Dwight high for the semi
finals Friday evening and the Ne
braska R. O. T. C. band is slated
.to provide entertainment for Sat
urday night's finals.
Crete Favored.
Crete high, heavy favorites to
cop the class A title this year,
plays Neligh at 9 o'clock tonight in
a first round tilt. Assuming that
Coach Klein's boys will get over
the first hurdle, they will run into
keen competition in the second
against either Plattsmouth or
North Platte. The latter mix is
doped as a tossup.
Two undefeated teams are rep
resented in the class A division of
the 1932 meet in Grand Island and
Stuart. The Islanders are a fine
defensive quint, but lost two valu
able players at the close of the
first semester. However, they
should take McCook in an upper
bracket skirmish. Stuart, altho un
defeated, is hardly capable of up
setting Hastings. Coach Thomas'
quintet has been coming along fast
of late, winning the last nine
games after a poor start.
Kearney is expected to trim
West Point, while York has the
edge over Pierce. The Waverly
Mitchell go is another close one.
The team that has the basket eye
will ride the victory wave, and
that goes for all the games.
Class B competition finds three
undefeated teams entered in New
port, North Central conference
winner; Arlington, D-W-D cham
pions and Oakdale. Hickman and
Mead are strong and along with
the undefeated trio are favored to
get by the initial round.
Season tickets for the tourna
ment are on sale at Latch Bros,
and at the coliseum for 2. The
season pasteboards include admis
sion to all basketball games, and
to wrestling and swimming cham
pionships. General admission for
the first and second rounds has
been set at fifty cents, with re
served seats at seventy-five cents.
Semifinal and final games are
seventy-five cents, general admis
sion and $1 for reserved seats.
Revolutionizing methods of uni
versity administration, the Oregon
state board of education has re
cently announced that the Univer
sity of Oregon, Oregon State col
lege and the three normal schools
of the state are to be placed under
one president with a unified pro
gram. A similar plan for Okla
homa schools was last year sug
gested by Governor "Alfalfa Bill"
Murray In a message to the Sooner
legislature, but no action was
taken.

FOR KANSAS BELAYS
Twelve Team and Nine One
Man Events Listed for
April Track Meet.
DECATHLON IS INCLUDED
LAWRENCK. Kas. March 16.
Twelve relay .races and nine spe
cial individual events were an
nounced today as the program of
events for the tenth annual Kan
sas relays of April 23 by Dr. F. C.
Allen, director of athletics of the
University of Kansas and manager
of the Kansas relays.
The Kansas relays proper again
will be a one day event, with pre
liminaries in the 100-yard dash and
120-yard high hurdles set for the
morning of Saturday, April 23. and
the program of final events sched
uled to start at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon.
In addition to the regular relays
program the Missouri Valley A. A.
U. will again conduct an open
decathlon event, five events of
which will be run off in the Kan
sas stadium the afternoon of Fri
day, April 22. and the final five
events the morning of Saturday,
April 23.
The seven university class relay
events include the quarter mile,
half-mile, one mile, two miles, four
miles, distance medley (440, 8S0.
1320, one mile), and 480-yaid shut
tle hurdle relay.
College class relay races are at
one-half mile, one mile, two miles
and a distance medley (440, fcSO,
1320, one mile I.
Relay for Juniors.
There also is listed a one mile
relay for junior college athletes.
The special individual events to
be contested include the 100-yard
dash, 120-yard high hurdles, 1.500
meters run (a new event replacing
the former 3,000 meters run I. shot
put, javelin throw, discus throw,
high jump, broad jump and pole
vault
With the indoor track season
now practically over throughout
the United States, athletes are
turning attention to the outdoor
events which are to point them for
their try at the United States
Olympic team. The Kansas relays
is the first major outdoor carnival
in this section of the United States
and it is expected that the coming
Olympic games will produce a crop
of athletes this season which will
make the Kansas relays and other
pre-OIympic events even more out
standing as to performance than
usual. Evidences of the record
breaking performances to come
this spring already have been piled
up in the indoor meets this winter.
"Fun is the most important
thing in college life," asserts a
Northwestern university professor.
But he qualifies the statement.
"Fun," he defines, "consists in ex
ercising the mind."

JOHN KERIAKEDES, perennial
J candidate for a center position
on the Husker football team
crashes into the limelight again.
He has been chosen to captain the
Wildcats, one of four squads
chosen by Bible to facilitate spring
practice work. You must hand it
to Keriakedes, he has persistence
plus great intestinal fortitude.
This will be his fourth season on
the squad. Most fellows would
have thrown in the towel long ago.
A tardy football candidate came
up to Bible following Wednesday's
drill and asked to what team he
would be assigned. Coach Bible
looked over at "Tiny" Keriakedes
who was standing nearby and an
swered: "Why, 1 guess you can
join John's squad all right" Where
upon Keriakedes chirruped: "Boy.
can we use you. We need all the
cannon fodder we can get!"
John the irrepressible then
turned to his coach with: "Say,
what are we anyway? Fall guys
for the rest of these teams?" Bible
only grinned.
This afternoon thirty-two teams,
elite among state prep quintets,
begin competition in the twenty
second annual cage championships
at the coliseum. There are many
fine teams listed in both class A
and B rosters. They had to be good
to get where they are. (With apol
ogies to Chesterfield's). Let's be
sure to extend every courtesy to
these 400 boys, treating them as
guests, not foreigners. Many will
get their first impressions of Ne
braska U. during their three days
here.
Veterans naturally are showing
up best among both the backs and
linemen in this very early stage of
spring practice. Steve Hokuf. Car
lyle Staab, Henry Bauer and
Bernie Masterson are in especially
fine fettle. Hokuf has about con
vinced his coaches that he is fast
enough for a hackfield job. There
is no question but that Steve wants
to play behind the line, and if the
end candidates come through he
will probably get his chance.
Physical condition of the eighty
odd candidates generally is better
than was the case a year ago. The
men are getting into the swing of
things in a hurry, and already
have tasted their first scrimmage.
Although it was only a ten minute
affair, the gridsters proved they
are in shape and ready to go. The
coaching staff last year held off
for more than a week before al
lowing any scrimmage.

High Cage Teams to View
Huskers in Action in
Spring Frays.
Chill March winds enlivened
Wednesday night's practice for the
four score gridiron aspirants who
are being put through the mill by
i Coach Dana X. Bible in prepara
tion for Saturday s scrimmage.
Work on the kickoff with Roby
and Hokuf doing the booting
showed that there will be no weak
ness in this phase of the Husker
game. Roby, with a helping tail
wind, had no trouble dropping the
ball seventy yards down the line,
and Hokuf's kicks were not far
behind. Hokuf, Bauer, Masterson
and other backs were used in re
turning the punts, and they were
going through their maneuvers in
almost mid-season form.
In order to facilitate workouts
and dummy scrimmages, Coach
Bible has divided bis unusually
large number of candidates into
four squads. The veteran center,
Lawrence Ely, is captain of one
squad called the Bulldogs, Staab
heads the Bears. Hokuf has a band
of Tigers, and John Keriakedes is
leading the snarling Wildcats. Un
fortunately, "Wildcat" Wolcott was
r.ot assigned to the team bearing
his name.

The Bulldogs are: Nesmith, Joy,

McPherson, tackles; Bishop, De

MEET
Dual Compet Scheduled for
Sometime This Spring
On Lincoln Soil.
LAWRENCE, Kas. The Uni
versity of Kansas will meet the
University of Nebraska In a dual
outdoor track meet sometime this
spring at Lincoln, Coach Brutus
Hamilton announced Wednesday
morning.
The meet will be a battle be
tween the two outstanding teams
of the Big Six. Nebraska has held
the Indoor championship for three
vear3 and Kansas is the present
outdoor champion.
In the Big six maoor meei i
Columbia, Mo, last Saturday,
Kansas hpttered her standing of
last year by taking second place.
A study of the results 01 me uu
fprpnt pvents in the meet indicates
notential strength for the
Jayhawker aggregation. In many
of the events, Kansas was oeaien
by other than Nebraska and In a
dual meet Kansas is conceded an
even chance to take first honors.
Glenn Cunningham, who has
been invited to the Central
A. A. U. track meet at Chicago,
111., this Saturday, displayed his
nnwer in the Biff Six meet last
wppk when he finished a brilliant
mile run to set a new record of
4.21.1. His mark also bettered the
K. U. record of 4:26.6, which was
set by "Poco" Frazier in 1927.
Clyde Coffman turned in one of
the finest exhibitions of the meet
when he skimmed over the bar in
the pole vault at. 13 feet and 'i
inch, to equal the mark set by Os
sian of Nebraska several years
ago. Coffman made this perform
ance in spite of the injured back
which has handicapped him most
of this season. Under favorable
conditions he is expected to estab
lish a new Big Six outdoor record
in the dual meet with the corn
huskers. You Get
