SEE-SAW BATTLE

Minormen Crumple Msdlcy
Time to Even Big Six Tally
With Iowa State.
Ily Wirt- 1o Tim Dully Ni-liiusli.tii.
Smashing a record In the last
race, Nebraska's incilley relay
team nosed out Iowa Slate's trio
to bring the Huskers into a tie
with the Cyclones at 45 points
each, after a see-saw battle be
tween the two teams in the Bix
Six conference meet held Friday
and Saturday at Kansas City.
The Cyclones and Hunkers were
the only real competitors of the
meet. Oklahoma's team, consist
ing of one man, Jack Davis, wus
a poor third with 12 points. Kan
sas State was fourth with nine
points, while Kansas' best efforts
yielded only five counters. Mis
souri didn't enter.
This is the second time in six
years that the two teams have
ended in a dead heat in their tor
rid battle for Big Six tank su
premacy. They tied at 42 all in
1932. Iowa State was victor in '33
and '34 but the Huskers lugged
home the crown last year, The
Minormen had taken the count of
Iowa State in a dual meet earlier
in the 1935 season by the close
score of 45 to 39.
Cyclones Topple Six Records.
Six of the eight conference rec
ords fell before Che combined on
slaught of the Cyclones, the Husk
ers and Jack Davis. League times
were lowered in the medley relay,
the 400 yard relay, the 50, 100 and
220 yard free style dashes, and the
150 yard backstroke.
Glyndon Lyndc, swimming his
last race for the Huskers, rocketed
through to wins and new records
in the 50 and 100 yard dashes. He
also swam anchor man on the med
ley relay team which also bettered
its own record to turn in the out
standing individual performance in
the meet. He knocked a full sec
ond off his 1935 record in the cen
tury distance, knifing through in
54:9 as compared to his former
effort of 55.9. He mutilated his 50
yard time only to the extent of
three-tenths of a second, his new
time being 24.3 as compared to
his last season's time of 24.6.
Davis Gets a Backstroks First.
Oklahoma's one man swimming
team, Jack Davis, ended up with
first honors in the 150 yard back
stroke and the 440 yard relay and
a. third ranking in the 220, to give
Oklahoma a third place with 12
points and himself individual scor
ing honors with the same 12 points.
He slashed two and a half seconds
from his 1935 record in the back
stroke. Husker Pete Hagelin garnered
11 points and chalked up a new
record in the 220 yard free style
for another notable performance.
He yielded to Davis in the back
stroke, but gained revenge by best
ing the Oklahoman to the tape in
the 220.
Relay Team Slices Old Time.
The Husker medley relay team,
consisting of Jack Gavin, back,
Bob Thornton, breast, and Glyn
don Lynde. crawl, sliced nearly six
seconds off the old record in that
even, requiring only 3 minutes 19
ami 9-10ths seconds as compared
to the previous record of 3:25.8.
The Iowa State free style quartet
lowered the other relay record by
stroking through in 4:00.5 as
compared to the out-of-date time
of 4:02.3.
Bob Thornton of the local squad
turned in a very creditable per
formances by stroking thru to a
victory in the breast stroke tak
ing a third in the 50 yard dash,
and swimming on the medley relay
team.

COACH ALLEN GIVES
EVENTS FOR ANNUAL
KANSAS RELAY MEET
Athletic Carnival Authorized
Preliminary Tryout
For Olympics.
LAWRENCE, Kas., March 14.
rrogiiim of events for the four
teenth annual Kansas relays, April
17 ami 18, was announced today
by Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director
of athletics at the University of
Kansas. The program of events
is substantially the same as in
other years, except that several
events peculiar to the Olympics
have been added. The Kansas re
lays, in common with several
other athletic carnivals, will be
an authorized preliminary tryout
for Olympic contenders.
These added events are the 400
meter hurdles, the 3,000 meter
steeplechase, and the hop, step,
and jump. The 1,500 meter run,
an Olympic event, has been on the
Kansas relays program for the
past three years. The decathlon,
of course, will bo retained.
The 480 yard shuttle relay race,
for which there have been few
entries the two or three times it
has been run, will bo discontinued,
and the junior college mile relay
has been changed to a sprint re
lay with runners covering vary
ing distances 440 yards, 110
yards, 220 yards, and 880 yards.
It was found that junior colleges
found it difficult to arrange teams
of four quarter milers, but they
did have available one or two
each for the various distances of
the medley.
The special sprint medley for
Kansas City, Mo., high schools, in
troduced last year, will be re
tained. Following will be the events:
University class: Four mile, two
mile, mile, half-mile, quarter-mile,
distance medley, and sprint med
ley relays.
College class: Two mile, mile,
half-mile, and the sprint medley.
Junior college class: Sprint med
ley. Kansas City high schools:
Sprint medley.
Track events: 100 yard dash,
120 yard high hurdles, 400 meter
hurdles, 3,000 meter steeplechase.
Field events: Broad jump, high
jump, pole vault, hop, step and
jump, shot put, discus throw, and
javelin throw.
The first five events of the
decathlon will he run Friday aft
ernoon in connection with the
32nd annual interscholastic track
meet, and the other five will be
run Saturday forenoon.
Preliminaries of the 100 yard
dash and of the 120 yard high
hurdles will be at 9:30 Saturday
morning, and the finals at the
opening of the relays proper at
1:30 p. m. Saturday.

Coach Polrang Carries Home
Championship for
Second Year.
Creighton Prep tame thru with
its second consecutive state high
school basketball championship .
last night as they defeated JacK
son high of Linicoln 24 to 22 in the
class A finals at Nebraska coli
seum. Coach Maurice Polrang of
Creighton is coaching his second
year and this is his second state
high school championship.
Spectacular defensive play fea
tured the first quarter as both
Creighton ami Jackson tightened
up and allowed but ten points to i
pass thru the hoop. j
Roblno, Pltcalthley Outstanding, i
Robino of Prep and Pitcaithley'
of Jackson were instrumental in
warding off close-in shots.
Jackson started the second quar
ter with a lot of zip and at one
time held a lead of six points. This
was cut by Prep in a desperate
rally to bring the score at the half
to 12 all.
Creighton Leads 20-17 at Third.
Robino broke the tie at the bee-inning
of the third period with a
charity toss. Jackson went ahead i
again and bagged a snot iroin
center of the floor. Creighton ral
lied and with one minute to play
left in the third quarter sent two
perfect plays down the floor to lead
20-17 as the quarter ended.
This spirited rally in the third
quarter sent Prep ahead and they
never relinquished their lead. Great
floor work by Robino was deciding
factor all thru the last quarter.
Jackson Couldn't Deliver.
Jackson tried hard as the game
neared its close but just couldn't
seem to deliver in the pinch. The
quarter and the game ended with
Prep in possession of the ball and
the score at 24-22.
Concetto "Kayo" Robino and
Pitcaithley were the most out
standing players in the game and
thruout the entire tournament.
SPEAKING OF
i SPORTS
-ij:: miim,.;:: m,.m to
Nebraska's hopes of winning the
Olympic tryouts at Kansas City
were given a soaking in cold water
last Thursday night as tne tjaia
homa Aggies trounced the Huskers
36-19. Nebraska of course was
handicapped by the absence of
Widman and Parson, guards. But
it is doubtful if even with these
two Nebraska could have stopped
the Aggies. The boys from Okla
homa were sinking almost impos
sible shots from all over the floor.
Probably the most thrilling
quarter in the state high school
basket tournament was Hoi
brook's comeback against Beth
any in the final periods of their
game Friday night. Trailing
33-11 at the end of the third
quarter, the Hornets from the
west sank 24 points while hold
ing the Lincoln boys to two field
goals and a free throw. The
game ended 38-35 with the ball
under the Bethany goal. Down
but never out, the Holbrook team
deserves every bit of praise that
they received.
A quick temper cost Lincoln
high their basketball game with
Hastings the other night. Helzer,
Lincoln guard, used a little "foul
language" in speaking to and about
the officials and the referee called
a technical foul on the Lincoln
team. Trupp, outstanding Hastings
guard, sank the gift shot which
later proved to be the deciding
factor of the game. Hastings won
by one point.
The coaches clinic held yester
day afternoon on the football
field was a success despite ths
strong, dust laden wind from the
north. Coaches Bible, Browne,
Lyman and Wiler led the squad
through various plays based on
the double wing back formation.
Placeklcking was demonstrated
by Virgil Yelkln and Sam Fran
cis. Johnny Howell described the
different ways of holding the ball
for passing.
The coaching staff had no feel
ing for the poor sports writers as
they threw substitute after substi
tute into the practice game yes
terday. Three full teams worked
out. The game was not lacking
in thrills as the wind allowed
many long punts and some superb
passing. A long pass from Phelps
to Morris missed by Inches what
would have been a sure touchdown
for the Whites.
The Red team outplayed and
outfought the Whites and Blues
who took turns trying to push
over a touchdown as the practice
game yesterday ended 24 to 0 in
favor of the Reds. The only long
run of the game came in the last
quarter as Jack Dodd got off for
a 35 yard jaunt for the last touch
down. The entire Red team looked
like they would round Into shape
well. Outstanding for the Whites
were Bob Ramey at center and
Art Ball whose fine blocking
helped his backfield considerably.
By taking a second place in the
heavyweight division Omaha South
again took over the stats high
school wrestling championship.
The outcome of the meet was in
doubt throughout the tournament
as the lead shifted back and forth
between South and Omaha Tech.
The final match proved to be the
ON BEATS
ACKSON TO TAK
HIGH SCHOOL TITLE
climax. If the South representa
tive won, the meet would go with
him. Should the mun from Mln
den win, the championship would
automatically go to Tech. Tech at
the time was one point ahead.
South finished up with forty-one
points, Tech with thirty-eight,
Omaha Central with twenty-seven,
while the other six were split be
tween Rokeby, Minden and Den
ton. Jerry Adams is planning an all
university wrestling meet for
April 2 and 3. Champions in their
various weights will he given nu
meral sweaters and second place
winners will be awarded cards of
merit. This has all the possibili
ties of being the best wrestling
card in the coliseum for a long
time.
Another all-university affuir is
planned for later in April. Harold
Matthews will hold a boxing tour
ney the twenty-third anil iweniy-1
fourth of April. iWnners in this;
case will oe given gold etutis anu

If this turns out to be as good as
the last boxing show the fans are
promised some good fighting.

around. i
. !
Another belated story was
brought to our attention. It
seems that while Coach Schulte
was going over the rudiments of
track coaching for the benefit
of the high school mentors, he
asked one of the boys to do a
turn around the track just to
show what he had. Les Panko
nin volunteered to do his bit.
Coach Schulte held the watch,
and Les was told to do his best
for the one lap record. Well, he
sailed around the Indoor track in
the remarkable time of twenty
seven and five-tenths seconds.
This compares exactly with the
time for one lap made by the
great Roland Locke a few years
ago. The fastest time made since
then up to Friday was twenty
seven and seven-tenths seconds.
Coach A. N. "Bo" McMillin of
Indiana university issued his first
call for spring football practice the
other day. He was agreeably sur
prised when almost one hundred
students suited up. The first day's
work was confined to exercises and
fundamentals. Indiana is Ne
braska's first football opponent
next fall and from all advance in
formation they will be no push
overs. THREE CHURCH F

RED TEAM WINS
Tl
Fairly Smooth Ball Shown
Despite Bad Weather
Saturday.
A IriiiiiKiilnr iluel, ii' there is
such a lliiii, is wlint the Ne
braska spring gi'itklers pre
sented lu 1 1m Nebrnska high
school coai'hes' eliniu Snturdny
afternoon. The Reus, a tentative
varsity combination, were decisive
victors in a short scrimmage that
depicted falily smooth ball for the
earliness of the spring season and
the inclemmu y of the weather. A
stiff and dirty wind kept most of
the prep mentors dislodging fore
ign particles from their eyes as the
Biblcmen fought.
Few new history makers were
found In the "feel out," but many
men, principally backs, showed
much better than expected.
Reds, Whites Start Game.
The game was started with the
Reds opposing the Whites. On the
latter team most of the vets and
promising fodder were placed. The
Whites kicked off to the Reds, en
joying the advantage of the wind.
Dull bBll ensued until Andiesen, a
fast freshman bacK, Began sup
ping off tackle for consistent
gains. . Some two minutes from
kickoff time, Andresen squirmed
through a small hole over guard
to score the first touchdown. A
kick from placement by Yelkin
for the extra tally was wide.
Score: Reds 6, Whites 0.
Phelps Passes 25 Yards.
After a snappy exchange of
punts on the next few plays Phelps
dropped back a few yards and let
one fly some twenty-five yards
that soared directly into the arms
of Morris, who would have been
open for a score, had he caught it.
Due to the flying earth, however,
he dropped it. This was perhaps
the best pass of the entire after
noon, although Jonnny Howell was
habitually sending them out to
their mark.
At this point Johnny Williams
Blue lineup was inserted to re
place the Whites. The new eleven
was at first weak in almost every
spot, allowing the Red backs to
drive them to their own double
stripe so that Dodd could carry the
agate over standing up. The same
ovtm noint nrocedure was em
ployed, but again Yelkin's boot was
wide. Score: Keas n, wnues ana
Blues 0.
Andrews Scores Third Time.
hrief RDell elaDsed before
Andrews tucked away the spheroid
in his armpit and scored the third
tnllv with ii short thrust through
the line. This play was made pos
sible not by commenuaoie runs uy
the Reds, but oy a eiue pum,
ntm'Tiar the wind that netted an
approximate gain of one yard. A
short pp9S tnrougn me center rait
waa batted down and the Reds
still went extra pointless. Score:
Reds is. wnues ana xsiues v.
a npw arrangement compli
cated things still further as Bible
sent in the Whites to increase
competition and oppose the Blues,
pinrk who was one of the after
noon's mainstays on end sweeps,
ran nearly two wituns oi me neiu
on the first play, but the play was
good for no yardage. On a few
plays following, however, the
Whites marched the nan to wunin
1 vnrrl of the promised land, and
were finally held on downs by the
Blues, cather KicKea out oi nan
ger, that is, out of danger had the
lineman nabbed Ball who returned
the ball to the 15 yard stripe.
Ood-f Breaks Loose.
Phelps made the last good run
for the Whites that was good for
15 yards. It was the last good ex
cursion because once again the
Reds came in. From this time on
Andrews could not be stopped.
Dodd finally broke loose in the
death bed moments of the game
to score the last points. The kick
for goal was again wild. Score:
Reds and Whites 24, Whites and
Blues 0.
Coach Bible refused to comment
as to how he felt about the show
ing of next year's Cornhuskers,
but Sam Francis and Lloyd Card-
well, who were bemoaning the
fact that they were in trck

ultra ultra to them.

Suys Earl T. Plutt, assistant do
rector of the extension division in
charge of supervised correspond
ence work, "Writing should only
be used when it is tho most eco
nomical method of learning. For
greatest efficiency the student
should be able to tell at the time
he. makes a mistake. Written re
sponses should only be required In
order to rheck on the learning
that the individual has acquired
and to show the correspondence
Instructor where the student's
reasoning has gone astray."
Mr. Piatt points out that the in
corporation of the new self-in-striKtor
in correspondence courses
will save considerable time both
for the student and the teacher. In
the past, too much written work
has been required he says. Altho
supervised correspondence courses
already employ educators, he aeea
a worthwhile innovation that can
be used in the field of supervised
correspondence study.
The University of Nebraska was
the first university to undertake
a program of supervised corre
spondence work. At the present
time several other universities
have adapted the Nebraska system.
