American colic-res and universities i line hinua
zine foresees a sports era free from trickery
and deceit in the ofl'inc'.
Ttie magazine report recounts .some of
the nnilerhaii'led methoiN employed by uni
versities thruout the nation to lure .rack foot
hall players to their stadiums: the subterfuge,
couner-subterfu'.'-e : offer: sueakery. trickery;
attempts at outwitting opponents which border
sometime on the vertre of kidnnpiny; the man
sotiaht.
i'roselytiny athletes is not a new phase of
mtercolleinate sports competition. Rivalry ex
tends not only to the men playing- opposite
each other on the stadium sod. but to the or
ganizations back of them which attempt, Ihru
mostly foul channels, to influence prep school
stars from one coast to the other and Canada
to the Huh' to attend their institutions. In 1929
the Carnejrie Foundation report found subsid
ization prevalent in To percent of United States
colleges. Hut in 121) it was the behind-the-scenes
intercollegiate movement. With the re
cent momentous decision of the Southeastern
conference to reeosnize athletic ability as a
determining factor in the allotment of student
loans, jobs, and scholarship, subsidization be
comes an above hoard force, cloaked not even
with pretense of amateur siatidimr.
Subsidization in itself may be a trood
thins-. It undoubtedly yives financial aid to
countless vomit: men who otherwise might
not have the opportunity of attending a col
ic ire. The editors of publications and leaders
in other student enterprises are paid for
their work: scholarships are awarded to
worthy students on merits of class room
behavior the arenment is made that in the
interests of fairness and similarity of treat
ment athletes also .should receive compensa
tion for their time spent on ihe irridiron.
Subsidization, unfortunately for the pro
ponents of the above line of argument, must
be regarded not within itself, but in relation
to th- athletic piia.se of collegiate activities.
Granted lhat the above is true can you jus
tify it in benefits to the national sport front"
Is it a good thing for intercollegiate athlet
ics, or do its disadvantages outweigh its ad
vantages ?

attempts to remain on an amateur lce. Ihe
bugaboo of subsidization is rapidly changing
this aspect, to the great loss of intercollegiate
spirit and iiiiiasni. From its inception, foot
ball has been identified with the "rah. rahs"

the goal, there is
no need to look to intercollegiate circles
there are professional football leagues. The
present tendency may be toward the crea
tion of university "farms" for the develop
ment, of players for future use on Ihe pro
fessional gridirons.
The Nebraska attitude 011 the question is
well known, and closely identified with the
athletic idealism of the Nebraska Director
of Athletics Dana X. Bible. Director and
Coach Bible has established an enviable
record as a man devoted to pure athletics,
free from the stigma of professionalism. Ne
braska floes not subsidize. Nebraska 's policy
is sports for sports sake, and not for the
sake of continual victories and champion
ships. Athletic men who find their way here
participate in football because they like the
game, and not because a healthy pay cheek
awaits 1ln.-ni at the end of the month.
Only in such an attitude can intercollegiate
football f unfits true, free expression of Ameri
can athletic ideals. Only when freed from the
athletic monetary fetidness that has for years
swept the country can football become the
keynote of the sportsmanship that is sought in
American athletics.
Colleges have too long felt the need to fill
Iheir stadiums and win championships in order
to be rated high on the American standard of
education. When they forget athletic eco
nomics in favor of fair play and refuse 1o sub
ject themselves to the hypnotizatiou of head
lines, intercollegiate football will once again
come into its own.

President Roosevelt will speak in Lincoln
this Saturday afternoon, according to informa
tion released by Judge Quigley, democratic
state chairman.
The president's special train will arrive
at the Burlington station about 1 p. 111. and will
leave at o for Omaha.
The speech vill probably be delivered on
the eapitol grounds.

which' will be set up under General Francisco
Franco when he wins Ihe Spanish civil war.
as he is almost certain to do. will be received
bv Kuropean powers with open arms.
France, no matter what happens 1o her
government, is in the most delicate spot of all.
in the event of a general Kuropean war. Oer
manv would certainly be aligned against her.
It would be necessary, then, for France to
transport troops from Ihe African countries of
Algeria. Morocco and Senegal. The only two
routes open to her pass thru the Spanish con
trolled Balearic or Canary Islands. Should the
Spanish and French governments be un
friendly toward each other. France would find
herself' surrounded by Hitlerites because Cer
many will welcome a Spanish fascist state like
a lone lost brother.
That mass of stone called Gibraltar, sit

Spain and guarding the entrance to the .Medit

Jootnotes
OFFICIAL BULLETIN
Catherine Cox gave a recital of
cello mufiic at the third musical
convocation in the Temple Theater
Wednesday afternoon. Miss Cox,,
who is a new comer to the faculty
of the university's school of mu
sic, shows a thorough knowledge
of her instrument and unmistak
able musical talent.
The number most musically pre
sented was "Menuct Triste," one
of a suite by Voormolen. This
number combines a swinging
rhythm with an expessive melody,
making it an exceptionally effec
tive piece of music.
Transcriptions of Chopin's E
minor Nocturn and a familiar
Spanish Dance by Granados were
alao well played.
Other numbers on the program
were "Adagio'' by Bernard and
Corelli's Sonata in D minor, both
of which were acceptable. An out
standing feature of the entire re
cital was an exceptionally mel
low tone quality.
The accompaniments of Herbert
Schmidt were efficient and sym
pathetic throughout.

An interesting anecdote is told
in the account of the journey,
when, so taken with. Wilson s ban
jo playing, the Emir of Birnin
Gwari offered him four or nis very
best wives if he would but settle
down and become chief court mu
sician. (The Emir could afford to
be generous he had forty-eight
wives.)
At another time when the couple
went to tell the French command
ant at Zinder good-by, he solemnly
wrote across, their passports, "Last
seen at Zinder, December 24."
Yet in spite of all the hardships
suffered in five thrill-packed
months, the young Ncbraskans ac
complished their goal and when
they finally drove their battered
motorcycles down to the beach at
Massawah. Eritrea, and looked out
over the Red Sea, all that Flood
could say to the speechless Wilson
was, "Well, we're here."

persons to each family, some sort
of precaution is needed to pre
vent inter-marriage.
The punishment for stealing is
banishment and confiscation of
property. The punishment for
murder is also banishment for
ten years. Murderers are not held
responsible for their crime. It is
believed that a witch entered his
body and caused him to do the
killing. The tribe searches for the
witch by carrying the coffin of
the murdered man around the vil
lage until the pallbearers stop be
fore a hut. The witch is supposed
to be within the hut.
The suspected witch is forced to
take poison. If she dies, it proves
her guilt. Surviving, she is inno
cent. Blooahs own mother was
forced to take poison four times,
each time recovering.
Ran Away From Home.
On the last occasion that his
Imnihw tnnlr nnisnn. Rloonh was
resnonsilile. Heir to the chief tain-
j.ship, lie longed to go to mission
1 school i:i: tcad. He was only four
teen years old and he preferred
following n missionary friend to
leading a native tribe into war.
One morning before it was light
he ran away fiom his home to a
village where a missionary friend,
the first white man the boy had
ever known, was staying. Bloo, ill's
eldest brother followed him, sword
in hand, tn bring him back. After
a melodramatic scene in the mis
sionary's home, the brother re
turned to the tribe, leaving Bloo
ah to go to mission school.
The one unpleasant consequence
of his adventure, was that his
I nirtfhnr uT2 forced tr tflkn noiMon.
Elders of the tribe accused her
of causing the run-away.
After his graduation from mis
sion school, Blooah came to the
United States where he received
his Master's degree at Northwest
ern. He is working for his Doc
tor's degrees at Nebraska, now.
He came to the university be
cause Lincoln is the home of his
wife, an American negrcss, whom
he met in Chicago.
When he is not studying, Bloo
ah has time to broadcast some of
his unusual experiences over the
ladio. He is a favorite star of the
KFOR Kiddy Hour.

Dr. Ross spoke as a man who is
intimately concerned with the
problems that confront the people
of today. A lifelong democrat, he
was his party's choice as a candi
date for the governorship of Ohio
and feels that he was defeated be
cause he stuck to the business and
not the emotional side of politics.
In his travels for the Republican
