Exchanging, Coaches
INVw Uni I'u.Hlimc.
By Ed Steeves.
Us a fad like appendix; every
school is having her coaches re
moved. Nebraska tops the stack
of coach plcker-upners getting not
only a good deal, but also a super
clocking of six days in the pro
cess. In contrast to this the Uni
versity of Iowa lost Ossie Solem
weeks ago and while still "eenle
meenying" over the coaching pros
pects, all the possibilities were
snatched from under their very
nostrlals. Their final tentative se
lection was Matty Bell of South
ern Methodist university, also a
long considered man for the Husk
er post. While still swaying in
their coma, S. M. U. slipped in and
stuffed a six year contract for
rnore money into Bell's pockets.
He will finish out the first
year for $5,000 and from then on
will receive $6,500. From there
the Hawkeye offlcalls dropped a
drag net into the south. Iri
Tubbs will travel to Iowa City
Tuesday to see what can be done
for him as head coach.
. Another of the mentor mania
is that of t'aul Kellpy hired as
Minnesota track coach.
In all this hubub aobut the Jones
boy most of us have forgotten that
Adolph Lewandowski will join the
coaching staff from Montana in
the fall.
By the keyhole method, the
same method that got us into
the sllmellght with Minnesota,
we have learned of the method
by which the board of control
sniffed Biff. The standing mys
tery has been: "How did the
board find Jones as an athletic
figure Just after he had packed
up his rule book and sweat sox
and retired to the army life, sup
posedly for good?"
Various members of the board it
self have lifted the veil over this
hush. The solution is this: Tho
Jones was wearinr the khaki, he
was still a torch bearer in the ath
letic field. He was noted more for
his directorship than for his coach
ing, and this is what the board
wanted. Plus this the retiring D. X.
Bible was an old friend of Jones
and by correspondence, the Little
Colonel knew that he was still in
the market. With a slight tipoff
j from Dana and Jones' still blazing
record it was a simple case of 1
, plus 1 is 2 for the board.
Yesterday it was announced that
toupeless Dana Bible lost his cap
' tain Himer Tippen by ineligibility.
Many stood around with that
, "mercy, mercy" gape, wondering
what the little man would do with
i such a predicament. For those
' who are still wondering may we
relate of how this captain ailment
' is old stuff to the new Longhorn
mentor.
In his first year at Texas A. &
I M., Bible had a captain by tne
' name of James A. "Ripper" Col
: lins who gave him more trouble
than a bunion wearing tights. Col
lins had a habit of going on grid
excursions and staggering back to
school about five days late. After
it happened twice, Bible ordered
that Collins play no more and
stuck to it. His persistency in this
measure, despite Collins' incompar
able punting and passing, was one
of the biggest boosts he ever re
ceived in the coaching profession.

Former Husker Gridster
Will Report for Duty
At Fall Drills.
The athletic board of the Uni
versity of Kansas announced the
election of Glenn Presnell, '27, Ne
braska, as an assistant football
coach at K. U. late Tuesday eve
ning. His ap
pointment was
r e c ommended
by Coach Ad
Lindsey and he
will report for
duty Sept. 1.
Presnell will
be remembered
by older Ne
traskans as
one of the
greatest backs
ever to wear
the Scarlet and
Cream. After
his graduation
from Nebraska,
.li-nn Prenfll
- Courtesy Journal
he entered the
sional football,
ranks of profes
where he was a
perennial star. Presnell once boot
ed a field goal 47 yards to give
Detroit Lions a 0 to 6 victory
over the Green Bay Packers in
?933- This is believed to be the
lonR?si "cw goal in rootbau lus

INTRAMURAL CAGE
E
Twelve Games Wiped Off
Slate; Ten Contests,
Two Forfeitures.
Twelve more games were crossed
off the rapidly retiring Greek and
Barb intramural basketball pro-
igram as 10 contests and two for
feits were reeled off in the coli
seum last night.
Class A competition saw Xi Psi
Phi edge out Sigma Nu by a lone
point as they garnered a 15-14 win
in one of the evening's feature
games. It was the second win as
against a single defeat and re-established
the Zips as contenders
for the league five crown.
1 In the same league, Sigma Phi
Epsilon, who had gone thru three
games and was never once seri
ously threatened, was swamped by
a rejuvenated quintet of Sig Alphs
and dropped an 1S-7 decision as
Shick and Davies gathered six
points apiece for the winners.
Most of the evenings array of
maple artists were contributed by
class B teams. Pi Kappa Alpha
emerged with a 10-5 triumph over
Zeta Beta Tau. while the Alpha
Gamma Rho five was slapping an
18- 7 defeat on Sigma Alpha Ep
silon. Acacia's, Sammies Win.
Acacia swamped the Phi Deits
19- 4 as Place counted seven points
for the winners. Sigma Alpha Mu
and Kappa Sigma tangled in a
tight exhibition of basketball with
the Sammies on the long end of a
11-6 score.
Petsch and Davidson scored
14 points as Alpha Tau Omego
shellacked the Phi Kappa I si team
by a 15-8 margin. Sigma Phi Ep
silon merely led Rewalt on the
floor and turned him loose as he
personally accounted for IS points
in leading his teammates to a 24-6
win over a quintet of Phi Gamma
Delta hoopsters.
Sigma Chi turned its A leagu
team into class B competitors and
proceeded to affix a 15-6 loss on
the record of Delta Tau Delta.
Beta Sigma Psi and Phi Sigma
Kappa failed to place outfits on
the floor and consequently dropped
their scheduled game via the for
feit route. Lambda Chi Alpha and
Sigma Nu were the beneficiaries.
Barb competition was confined
to a lone game as the Kriket Club
outlasted the Pals club and took
a 13-6 victory. The Corn Pickers
and Korner Klubbers failed to
make their appearance.

fessor Senning looks toward the

Norris could sense.
Predicts Change.
Predicting one major change in
the present set up of the nation's
first unicameral assembly, Dr.
Senning would not disclose entire
ly and exactly what the change
would be. In all probability the
change will not come about for
some time. Prof. Senning declared,
and whether that change involved
the committee system, speaker
election, or a system of voting,
could not be learned.
"It may be said, generally, that
there is a decided difference in
the atmosphere of the entire leg
islative body," Da. Senning de
clared. "All the members are more J
serious-minded, more industrious.
and are trying to discern the best i
interests of the public than they i
ever were before. As a result, leg- '
islation is more serious and there I

is less cause for criticism on the
part of the public."
Press Covert Hearings.
Stating the simplicity of opera
tion and responsibility of conduct
and publicity are the most impor
tant elements in the new legis
lature, the political science pro
fessor and author recently of a
book dealing entirely with the
one-house system, declared that
the public for the first time is
being led into committee hearings
and legislative proceedings. Off
setting the argument that the as
sembly is meeting for only sev
eral hours each day, Dr. Senning
emphasized tho fact that with the
new system most of the work is
done in committee hearings.
"Because of careful pondering
in the committee hearings, be
cause the lobbyist, as well as the
public, are recognized in all the
committee meetings, bill are near
er perfection when they are intro
duced on the floor of the house.
Since the press has been admitted
to all hearings, the public can
be. and has been, correctly and
adequately informed.
No Political Pressure.
The criticism that the unicam
eral system will never be free
from political party preference and
influence was bitterly attacked by
Prof. Senning. The legislature
may now be divided only into one
group which could be branded as
the conservatives and the other
as the progressives. If one did not
know the political party to which
each of the legislators belonged
before their non-partisan election,
no one would recognize any party
preference on the floor of the
house. None of the legislators are
working for any political party,
they are working for the best in
terests of the new assembly and
the people of the state, Dr. Sen
ning declared.
States Watch Unicameral.
Emphasizing the fact that Ne
braska has the first unicameral
legislature in practice in the
United States, Senning pointed out
that Georgia, Pennsylvania, and
Vermont, the states alleged to
have attempted the unicameral
plan, had the one-house system
only in theory. Every one of the
states had a council of censors
which could veto any bill proposed
by the one-house body. This coun
cil was entirely comparable to the
senate of today, Dr. Senning main
tained. "In all, our legislature has an
entire new spirit. Lobbying is
more open, legislators' responsi
bility is greater, bills are more
perfected, and for the first time
our legislature is doing things in
a business-like manner."

GRADUlSPlERIO
TEACH LOIR GRADES
Moritz Says Teachers Want
Posts in Primary
Classes.
! More teachers were interested in
securing instructional positions in
the first, second and third grades
than for any other positions in the
elementary and junior high school,
says Prof. R. D. Moritz. in his an
nual report for last year covering
the records of the university teach
er placement bureau. Of the 320
students registered in 1936 for
junior high and grade school ap
pointments, 102 hoped to secur?
beginning primary classes, while !
93 preferred to teach pre-junior j
high courses; 63 kindergarten. 61
junior high, and one registered
for the position of principal in jun
ior high.
How did the demand compare
with the supply ? Professor Mor- j
ritz's report reveals that there
were 45 calls for kindergarten j
teachers. 152 calls for primary. 104
for elementary and 144 calls for
junior high positions. Again the
emphasis was on the individual j
who could teach more than one
subject. '
There were 22 calls at the bureau '
for junior high and grade school
teachers qualified to instruct in !
two subjects, and 14 calls for those i
prepared to teach three subjects.
The same applies to the number of
grades candidates were required to ;
teach. i
There were 91 calls asking for
teachers prepared to take charge j
of two grades; 65 calls for three ;
grades, and 26 calls for candidates
qualified to teach more than three J
grades. These last figurss refer to
elementary schools only, says Pro- i
fessor Moritz. However, there were ;
119 calls for students who were ;
to teach one grade. I
