THE DAILY IS ERR ASK AN
THREE
D. X. IN TEXAS FOR
CONFERENCE WITH
ATHLETIC COUNCIL
President Benedict Against
Proposed High Salary
- For Head Coach.
Dana X. Bible, head football
coach and athletic director of the
university, left early Monday
morning for Austin, Tex., where
he has been invited to confer with
Texas university officials Wednes
day in regard to accepting the po
sition of head coach and athletic
director.
Departing on the Zephyr, Coach
Bible is expected to investigate
conditions at Texas before attend
ing the board meeting Wednesday.
Late Saturday night he talked via
telephone with Dr. J. C. Dolley,
president of the Texas athletic
council, and agreed to meet with
the board.
Coach Bible issued the following
statement before entraining:
"I have talked to Mr. Dolley,
president of the athletic council
of the University of Texas.
After my conversation with him,
I have agreed to go to Austin
for a conference Wednesday
with the athletic council, board
of regents and president of the
university.
"I have no other statement to
make at this time, and will have
none until after the conference."
Deliberate Ten Hours.
It took the Texas board of reg
ents ten hours to deliberate as to
which coaching candidate should
be invited to the conference, altho
all reports from Austin pointed to
Coach Bible as the logical choice.
The regents issued the following
statement:
"The board of regents, after
long and careful consideration, has
unanimously invited Dana X. Bible
to come to Austin Wednesday for
a conference with the university
officials to talk over details of a
possible contract of employment
as intercollegiate athletic director
and head football coach.
"As is generally known, employ
ment of Mr. Bible in this capacity
will entail a higher salary than
has been customary in the athletic
department at the university. Dr.
Benedict t president of the uni
versity) has the highest opinions
of Mr. Bible personally yet doubts
the wisdom of this change in pol
icy. He will, of course, give Mr.
Bible the fullest cooperation in
case he enters into a contract with
the university."
Opposed to Salary.
President Benedict has dec lined
to comment on the situation, but
it is generally conceded that he is
opposed to paying any football
coach a larger salary tnan the
highest paid faculty tnerr.fer. The
president has an annual salary of
$8,000 and $5,000 is the maximum
for professors. Retiring Coach
Chevigny received a $5,000 salary
plus $2,000 expenses.

Foreign Languages Necessary
To Complete Mental Train-

much earlier stage in education
across the water, because interna
tional pressures compel Europeans
to be familiar with at least two
modern lantruag-es besides their
own. This need in America, tho it
exists, is by no means so immed
diate, and the study of modern
languages is therefore with us a
cultural rather than a vocational
requisite.
"Surely at. the present time, if
ever, a knowledge of modern lang
uages can be defended as essential
in a society-centered curriculum.
Only a parochial view of society
would limit it to American fron
tiers. Thus the advocates of the
modern languages, among whom I
am glad to enroll, need not retreat
to 'individualism' as a justification
of their branch of learning.
"The success and importance of
the modern languages in the col
leges for women are due to their
recognition as instruments of in
ternationalism. Foreign study and
travel, international clubs, the use
of the living language in drama
and composition, all provide a
most important element in the cul
tural atmosphere of the institu
tion, and one worthy of the best
professional guidance.
"Even the proponents of the log
ical and metaphysical aspects of
philosophy as the core of a univer
sity curriculum must concede the
necessity of expert training in the
various modern languages in
which philosophy and science have
been developed, as the verbal ele
ment in the Idiom of philosophical
thought must inevitably precede
its comprehension.
"Whether child-centered, curriculum-centered,
or society-centered,
the modern American needs at
least one modern language not his
own in his mental equipment. It
in probably true that linguistic
study has occupied too great a
share of the time of the secondary
school. Including the study of the
native language, many students
have hitherto brought to college
from eleven to thirteen out of the
sixteen year units, into which the
four year high school course has
been divided, of linguistic study
History and science have been the
chief sufferers, and doubtless this
situation should be corrected by a
more equitable division of the time
of the student.
"Moreover, it may well be ques
tioned whether foreign language
instruction has produced results
commensurate with the time
spent. Of this, modern language
teachers themselves are well
aware and have spent much time
to restate and realign their objec
tives. Improvement has every'
where followed the adoption of
these new aims. A Vassar student
with one year's undergraduate
study of German obtained the doc
tor's degree at a German speaking
university this year after only two
years of study, attending all lec
tures and offering herself for the
final examinations in the German
language. The success of the ju
nior year in foreign universities
has proved the ability of A men
can undergraduates to make full
use of their modern training.
"To sum up, modern languages
are the indispensable instruments
of internationalism, of compara
tive culture, and of the correction
of chauvinism and parochialism in
our national philosophy. They in
crease the vocabulary of thought
as well as the literature of under
standing. While recognizing that
linguistic study is only one way
to culture, American educators
will be wisely advised in view of
our geographical isolation to main
tain modern languages on an equal
footing with the social studies, the
sciences, and the fine arts as one
of the four main traveled roads
to culture."
If her hobby of the last three
years is to be used as evidence,
the wife of Dr. Joseph T. King of
the University of Minnesota's
medical school has retained much
of her girlishness. She has col
lected more than 1,500 dolls of all
size and nationalities.

to penetrate the cautious Husker
defense.
The last two minutes of the
game were perhaps the most ex
citing and breath taking of the
contest. Remy's under the basket
field goal sent the Sooners ahead
32-31 after a 30-all tie had re
mained for several minutes. Par
sons sank another field goal to
bost the Husker stock by a single
point, but Nelson swished a gift
shot thru the hoop to make it 33
31. Connelley iced the game with
another gift shot, even tho the
Huskers attempted two frantic
mid-court toses that went wild
while the big clock showed one
half minute to go.
Kovanda Looked Good.
The lad that received a tremend
ous ovation was Bill Kovanda,
young Elk Creek forward,
whose smooth floorwork and out
standing defensive play won him
the plaudits of the fans. In fact,
all nine of the Huskers turned in
good performances but were rather
shy in cashing in on the breaks
that came their way.
By virtue of this victory, Hugh
McDermott's Sooners move up into
second place with three wins to
one loss, trailing Kansas wnose
two conference games have gone
to the Jayhawkers. Nebraska s
record shows victories over Mizzou
and Iowa State and Monday's loss
to Oklahoma. Next home game is
Feb 15 with Kansas State.

Now that Dana X. Bible is
down in balmy Texas where oil
and money gush freely, contem
plating the change of his address
from Lincoln to Austin, tho task
of speculating on a successor pre
sents itself. It is not with much
relish that, this column performs
such an ignoble function, mostly
because of the fact that we'd re
gret D. X.'s departure keenly.
But the facts have to be faced.
Texas is making him a proposi
tion so lucrative that he could
hardly refuse. After all, Coach
Bible is not coaching football
solely for his health. It is his
livelihood, his bread and butter,

and if the chance to get a little
cake out of the deal appears, why
not?
D. X. is over 45, oldest coach in
the Big Six. Should he go to Texas
for five or ten years at a greatly
increased salary, he'll be able to
retire inside a decade and make
himself immune to the howls of
the perennial grid wolves who can,
and do, make coaching a mighty
unpleasant task at times.
If he accepts the offers of Texas
U., who will take his place? Will
Harold Browne advance to the
head coach job? Basketball might
prevent this. Will Roy "Link" Ly
man be promoted from line coacn
to head coach? Possible, but not
probable. Perhaps Browne and
Lyman will be handed the reigns
together in an attempt to give
them an opportunity as headmen
before the university imports some
other grid mandarin.
Speaking of importing a coach,
how about some former Cornhus
kers who have made good at other
institutions? Francis Schmidt of
Ohio State? Fred Thompson of Ar
kansas? Guy Chamberlain, who
was recently voted as Nebraska's
greatest gridder ever and who is
now farming in Blue Springs, may
be the man to coach Nebraska's
football men. However, he has
been out of the football business
for some time, which fact may
have soured him as a potential
coach. "Chamey" enjoyed all sorts
of success as a manager of pro
grid teams.
Radical speculators have named
Jock Sutherland of Pitt as a suc
cessor of D. X. The cannv Sect
dentist would never leave Pitt as
long as he gets honors rind vic
tories galore at the Cathedral of
Learning. Howard Jones of South
ern California has been mentioned,
along with Fielding Yost of Mich
igan, Bernie Bierman of Minnesota
(never!), and numerous others.
Job of picking D. X.'s successor
if one is ever needed will fall
upon the athletic board of control
whose recommendations are placed
before the board of regents for
final approval. As soon as D. X.
tells the world he is shifting to
Texas if negotiations are com
pleted at Austin Nebraska's ath
letic board will assemble for
drawn-out affairs of state.
Dr. Harry Kurz, chairman of
the department of Romance lan
guages, received a belated letter
from his friend Prof. Juan
Sesplugues, a philosopher and at
present a journalist in the city of
Madrid. The letter, which shows
that it has been examined as to
content, was dated Dec. 17. Ac
cording to the writer, Madrid is
not lacking In food and coal.
The residents of the city are
proud of their stubborn defense
and will continue to repel all at
tempts at capture. The Madrid
educator deplores the selfish
pacificity of European democ
racy in allowing the war to con
tinue. Dr. Kurz hopes to visit
Spain next summer.
