. n- 1 ; 1 1 l f it u Quip on (iiis Wisecracking Kansas Chant. A m i 1 1 1 1 II lift ' By Ed Steeves. Our ditty yesterday on the whis tie-puffing Ernie Quigley served as bait for bigger and better ditties of the same personality. The gruff old Dutch (we called him Irish yesterday) "umperee" is the an swer to a columnist s prayers. Nearly every Quigley action is food for the hungry column reader. One of the choicer quips is that concerning the official and Steve O'Rourke, scout for the Detroit Tigers. O'Rourke, it seems, dwells next door to Quiff and is his bosom buddy. Their reunion one year was in a joint job or officialing the T. (J. U.-S. M. U. football tangle. The game was played and Quie ley and O'Rourke retired to the suds and showers, discussing old times. Knifing his way through the steam of the shower room, the business manager of the host uni versity sallied up to Quigley with his check book. "How much do I owe you, Mr. Quigley?," he queried with a look as managers wear. "Well, professor, " he replied, "you owe me exactly $161. fiO." The manager wrote him the check while O'Rourke stood with mouth ajar at the requested fee. Continuing thru the rounds of officials armed with a check book, the manager approached O'Rourke. "How much do I owe YOU?" he asked. . "Well," said O'Rourke, evading the question, "I live next door to Mr. Quigley." And with this he was presented with a duplicate of Ernie's check $161.60. His fee should have been not more than $80. Another deals with the infinite prestige of Quig. In a certain cage encounter a couple of the players got a bit unruly. One In particular let his disposition run amuck. Within a few minutes he had let a fist fly firmly into the countenance of the second player. Quigley, still chewing his whistle, grabbed him by the back of the neck, led him to the official desk and inquired as to his foul offenses. The player had had no personals called upon him in the game, but the Dutch rcf fixed that. He charged him with four fouls, giving him per manent exodus from the game, and awarded the punched player eight free shots at the hooo. Such action is not found be tween the covers of the rule book, but no one protested Quig ley. We nominate the Husker cagers as the most wise cracking five in the Big Six conference. There is a tie for first place among three snappy retaliators Howard Bak er, Ernie White and Bob Elliott. Ernie's is that effervescing kind that is as continuous as a loop of string. Elliott's is contrasting, slow and easy, but it rocM you when he finally lets loose of the last word. His imitations of Ken Mur ray are good enough to sub for the renowned comedian. Baker is the daredevil kind, taking nothing from anybody. You are all famii iar, I suppose, with the anecdote which tells of Pete singing with the orchestra in one of the down town Minneapolis hotels, as a dare. Dohrmann, Grimm, Amen, Hale, Parsons and Kovonda do cnly to add hilarity to all the workouts. That chanting Kansas V. "Rock Chalk Jay Hawk" yell that keeps stadium goers in a hushed silence, that keeps birds hanging intently in midair, and that makes ail Huskers wish they had a yell like it, has a lengthy' history. Its origin is not definite, but we know that it was before 1S98. for in this year it started its globe trotting. Company H of Kansas infantry introduced it to all volun teers at San Francisco. From these men it went to the battle fields of the Philippines. The same is true of the trenches of the World wnr from whence the wailing Rock Chalk was often emitted before a charge. The same chant has been pres ent at all Olympics plus the In-ter-Alhed games in Pans and the athletic meets at Commercy field at Commercy, France. It was at the Olympics at Antwerp that the nobility assembled there requested to hear tha typical American college yell. In all good stories there must be an oddity and here it is. Orig inally the chant had no athletic connection. In fact there were no athletic fields at Kansas un til 1S90. It was originally adopt ed by the Science club of tne Jay school, but due to the fact that it rhymed with Jayhawk it was submitted to the athletic de partment for use. Since its origin it has under gone many and varied changes and improvements until it devel oped Into its present state. Is It any wonder that "Rock Chalk Jay Hawk" persists?

Altho he still lacks some of the fine points of a polished niatman, stated Coach Adams, he is very aggressive and has plenty of speed, lie has been working hard, continued the coach, and has shown plentv of improve ment since he started working out. Despite the fact that the team is in good spirits over the show ing made ut. Minnesota last Satur day, Coach Adams put the bone benders thru a stiff pace to round off the midweek workout. Dutch Simons took a nine minute heat with the coach in preparation for the coining fray with Elmer Arns perger of Missouri. Flash Flasnick took teammade Jerry Adams thru a merry pace in a short, stiff work out to get up a sweat to take off a few surplus pounds. No important changes in the lineup are expected since the heavyweight question has been settled, at least for the Missouri meet. The team will leave on the Zephyr Friday morning for Kan sas City where they will change trains lor Columbia. E T Cornhuskers Go to Ncrman With High Hopes of Cage Victory, Still smarting from the defeat slapped upon thoni by the Okla homa cagers earlier in the season, the Nebraska Huskers are primed for revenge tomorrow night when they meet the Sooners at Norman.

The Huskers, banking on longer odds, hope to upset botli the Sooners and Allen's Kansans. This would tie the Sooners and Huskers for second and third and throw Kan sas into a precarious situation, though still in first place. Huskers Stand Chance. By such higher calculus the Brownemen still stand a chance at the crown if a second quint knocks off the immortal leaders. Should they lose, their chances even at second notch would be dim. Coach Hugh McDermott is play ing a host of seniors this season, most of them having lettered three years in Soor.erville. Tee Connely, Jerome Needy, Don Gunning and John Remy are all polishing off their careers. The fifth post is filled by a junior, Bill Martin, who is high scoring back court man of the loop. Bob Parsons ranks next, and Martin and he should provide a bonus of interest in the already colorful contest. Martin piled up 22 points against the Kansas State Wildcats to come within five tal lies of top honors of scoring per one game. Many Sooner Seniors. Seniors reign on the Oklahoma bench also. Herman Nelson, Ed Otte and Jay Thomas are all play ing their last year in varsity com petition. On the Husker lineup, Browne has only Baker and Sorensen in the graduating class.

Oklahoma machine, something wnlch the Nebraska aggregation does not possess. All season the Sooners have been fighting to keep out of a tie with the Brownemen and likewise the Huskers have been struggling to gain that notch.
