TUESDAY, MAKCII 29. 19.W I'KICE FIVE CENTS U A.SKAN HEAVY, HEAVY HANGS OYER YOUR HEAD In order to pot yo'lr attention, we shall first of all toll what we firmly believe is a joke. It seems there was a certain athlete who hadn't been studying his lessons end consequently was getting himself on the flunking border. In f.ict, conditions pot so bad (the one his English teacher gave him particularly) that he had to take a special exam in or der to make himself eligible for athletic participation. The time came for the athlete to take' the exam and the coach waited anxiously for a report of the test. Three hour after start ing the tett, the athlete burst triumphantly out of the room, tore over to the coach's office, and burst triumphantly into the room, "I done It," he exclaimed. "The prof looked my paper over and said I was illegible." Besides the run. the above anecdote has an underlying; point of interest. There have been many men of athletic prominence in Nebraska's history whose names have been sot in big black print on the nation's newspaper pages. There have been many more athletes enrolled at Nebraska who would have be come objects of hero-worship and enjoyed the taste of competition under university colors but for one thing GRADES. Scholastic eligibility is the first requirement of an athlete in uni versity circles. Not muscles, nor sense of timing, co-ordination, bal ance, nor skill in his chosen sport, but scholastic eligibility. Without a high enough average to make him eligible, the athlete is of no use to his coach, to his school, or and the third item is the one that should interest the athlete most l to his own self. It is mainly because of the thrill he gets out of competing in sports that the athlete performs and if he is ineligible to perform he is cheat ing himself out of that thrill and The ultimate goals that might be al gained thru competition on a university team. Athletic fame is at best but transient gloiy. No group knows this better than the athletic de partment, the majority of whose members have experienced the temporary spotlight life of the college athlete. Memories f ath letic comradeship and events are pleasant things to look back on but are wispy things upon which j to oase a mes occupation. oi-1 tr- .,.,,.,..,., ."nitv tournament to give those who enter it to learn how i tMm an opportunity to p- to live better and how to make a living.

To pro tect ths athlete, tn some schools scholastic eligibi.i'y has simp' times been overlw.ked c.r side- Utes fnenJs. It hss probably happeneil at Nebraska in a few ases. but rrely. Particularly nft in the last ten years. Whenever, it has happened the athlete has ' been the loser. ; Practice Makes Perfect? The athlete who fails to tee the relative importance ef mat ter will pcnd three Or four ! hours a Cay practicing some thing m which he it already rather an expert and lets b, studies slide. At a result, he doesn't get to compete and hit athletic ability, which he would ute for about the next three or four year on the average, would be of no advantage to anybody, least of all the athlete himtelf. He will waste time worrying about hit ttudict whi'e the best way to eliminate the worry it to Veep plugging away at the book for a con tinent four or five hours a day. If he it buty studying he hat no time to worry and the caute for worry will be eliminated. If the athlete in college will rrad his high whnol paper printed nix nvmh after graduation he will find no mention of his nam. New mimes are in his p!nre. It will he the irnne after he g-ts out f college, that is. providing he ever became eligible long enough to compete. Example.
