SEEDED TEAMS
HELP BOX OFFICE
Prop basketball will occupy the
spotlight on the campus this week
us the high school tennis in three
divisions gather In the coliseum to
decide the state cage champion
ships. A season or so ago the rul
ing body of the tourney decided
that It was only fair to Insure
that the good teams get past the
first rounds so the policy of seed
ing the good teams was adopted
They found that seeded teams
sometimes drew a lot at the box
office. This year the teams have
been chosen with box office as the
deciding factor.
Four schools have been seeded
in the lineup merely for their
drawing power. Lincoln high Is a
big school and will draw a lot of
spectators from the school's 2.800
students, The Red and Black also
is expected to pull a large Capital
City crowd.
To attract the Omaha crowd the
state officials have planted Oma
ha Benson and Creighton Prep and
to pull the outstate fans, Falls
City high school gets the call. In
this seeding process such schools
as Lincoln's Jackson high, runner
up two years in a row in class A,
failed to make the favored list be
cause their box office appeal was
;! -ought to be weak.
Von Cramm Missing.
Baron Von Cramm, one of the
-ii Id's best tennis players, is at
i dds with the Nazis government
u iiii'h he so ably represented in
international tennis matches last
."ar. The German has displeased
i ne government and has disap
tared from society as a result,
' 'hat the charge is against him,
'. )'-i ign correspondents have been
i:ble to learn. Hitler's actions
r 'te the czar-like antics of A. A
.'.i Brundage during the Olympic
: ics seem rather mild.
Hob Mills reports that the Mis
s'.iri school gave the Husker
vt.ck mentor a rousing sendoff
; night before the indoor meet.
i appreciation of Coach Schulte's
r.evements as a track coach the
.'i- school gave him an expen
candid camera. Pa then
vod his admirers that he was
.11 good by annexing the third
Six crown in a row for the
.'Ynilct. Mills said that the Mis
mi team went thru an injury
1 live lust before the meet. Fole
.".IUts pulled leg muscles, 440
:,-.rn sprained ankle and so on. It
looked like they were Just trying
to give us the meet, Mills smiled
The football squad seems to be
shaping up in good order and en
thusiasts are happy over the pros
pects of having three well bal
!'".red teams to put in the field
" :.t fall. More concern is felt for
' center of the line than any
" her portion of the team. Brand
n w guards and tackles will be ap
pearing in the starting lineup next
fall but most of them have had
valuable experience as under
studies last season. Most encour
aging is the report that Bob Kah
ler will undoubtedly be able to
hold down one of the wing posi
tions next fall. The other end will
likely be entrusted to Lloyd Grimm
who pushed Klmer Dohrmann
very hard last fall.

A, C Crowns of '37. Topple
In Regional Frays; New
Champs Sought.
By Joe Zelley.
Forty-eight blue ribbon quin
tets, attired in variegated armor,
will venture forth this afternoon
at the university coliseum as the
curtain goes up on the 28th an
nual Nebraska State High school
basketball championships.

will be used for games up to the
finals, which will be staged on
the varsity rectangle.
New diadem wearers will be de
cided In classes A and C, as their
owners last year were vanquished
at the regional tests. Omaha
South, "A" king last season, went
down in defeat, 30-28, at the hands
of a powerful Omaha Benson five
In class C, Liberty ran into diffi
culty and was shunted aside.
Spirited action is promised in all
divisions, but most heat will be
liberated in Class A as it is here
that the state's most potent cage
squads are bracketed. In this
group Falls City, Ainsworth, Jack
son, Omaha Benson, Fremont,
Creighton Prep and Hastings
have aggregations strong enough
to cause any adversary to flinch
Dutcher Comet Here.
Starring Jerry Dutcher, high
scoring forward, Coach Ralph
Ross Benson Bunnies drew
rather easy assignment in the
opening round, facing Oshkosh.
Mentor Jug Brown s undefeated
Falls City team testa Kearney and
the all-victorious Ainsworth five
tries York. Should Falls City and
York leave their first trials with
colors flying at full mast, they
will clash in the second round
Bethany, class B ruler in '35
and '36, drew Paxton as its first
opponent. Under the tutelage of
its new coach, Lyle Weyland,
Bethany Is given a good chance to
its third consecutive crown in this
group. Its chief difficulty will
come from Crawford, Atkinson,
Humboldt, Hardy, and Winnebago.
Out for the class C honors, va
cated by Liberty, are Bratton
Union of Humboldt, Sunol, Elk
horn and Guardian Angel of West
Point. Action in this division will

"Come on red shirts, let's go!"
With this rallying cry at spring
football prlctice the first team
swings into the huddle, out of it,
and through the play. For years
and years the first outfit has
called themselves the redshiits,
probably because they wear the
scarlet for Nebraska, while the
others call themselves the seconds,
and thirds.
Some shifts have been made
after the first week of spring
practice. The first string has still
been able to retain their positions
but Fred Preston, a freshman end
and ace ball snagger, has nosed
out Kenneth Shindo, a minor let
terman last fall, who is stooging
for Lloyd Grimm, Leonard Muskin,
a frosh stand-out who won all
state recognition at Omaha Cen
tral, has grabbed the berth at left
tackle, forcing Warren A If son,
who was carried along with the
squad last year but never used,
into the third outfit. Roy Petsch,
the boy with the number 13 on his
back, finds that the old supersti
tion doesn't affect him as he has
replaced Harry Hopp and is right

"Chita" Proves Favorite.
"Chita" Is a favorite of many
visitors to the galleries. It was
painted by Roberta Brackman
who came to America from Rus
sia when she was 12 and has
since been an art student of
Robert Henri and George Bel
lows.
John Soan. who painted the
picture entitled "Thanksgiving"
which created such a furor in
Chlcaco lust year, has a work in
the exhibit. "Drying Their Hair
on the Roof" depicts three women
drvlner their hair with the wash
ing hanging on the line in back of
them and the smoke stacks oi tne
factories in the distance, Artist
Sloan says about judging the value
of a picture, "The easiest way to
steer me off a painting is to tell
me that it Is saleable."
The art exhibit Is free to all stu
dents in the university.

Tackles a Problem.
Because big burly fast tackles
are keymcn on defense, ami sim'e
Fred Shtrey and Theo Doyle left
such a big hole there, Roy "Link"
Lyman spent a large share of the
afternoon devoting his time to
these line bruisers. Lynlan run the
boys through some stiff workouts,
demanding hard charging drives
of the tackles, which he explained
was far more important than de
pending on finesse, and finnlly he
let up on the boys Willi tne re
mark of gridiron vernacular "Take
a blow for a minute."
As the hefties squatted back on
their heels, "Link" in his rumbling
tones described a tackle as a line
buster, and remarked that to be a
great player doesn't always mean
piling the pigskin toter but smash
ing up the interference, leaving
the ball carrier to the secondary.
Much more individual attention
has been given in this spring prac
than ever before. The addition of
Glenn Presnell and Bob Mehring
to the coaching staff, even though
the turn-out is one of the largest
in history at Nebraska, has re
sulted In more individual coaching,
with better correcting of faults,
and more drill on fundamentals.
