SCI TE TO TALK ONHIGHJUMPING OVERAIRTONIGHT ATHLETIC PROGRAM ftEEDS EXPANDING It Is a common fact that at any school the major sports football pnd basketball provide the neces sary funds for the minor sports. That Is, without these two major sports the minors would not be possible. J. R. Kinder who has written a series of special articles for the Sunday Journal-Star has (hown that Nebraska is losing money In the present setup and for that reason It has been Impossible for the school to expand its minor sports program. The school hat no facilities for hockey, no Indoor place for football practirs or baseball practice. Other Institutions are provided with state money to build these Improvements while the University of Nebraska's athletic department It on a self sustaining basis not depending upon tax money for any part of the funds used to carry on Itt program. Lose Money. Kinder has shown that the school loses money in its relations with conference schools as the home folks like the non-conference games better. For 30 years, he says, the Huskers have held the Missouri Valley conference to gether at our own expense. He concludes that If we want to ex pand our minor sports program we should contemplate the follow ing things: (a) The abandonment of our affiliation In the Big Six; ib) The acceptance of an invita tion to join a circuit composed of teams more nearly her equal and failing that (c) an independent career among equals in paying and playing. In order to discuss the sec ond and third proposals It it necessary to assume the first to be the most advisable. To ac cept an invitation to join some other circuit composed of teams more nearly her equal would of course depend upon such an In vitation being extended and at the present time no such action hat been taken by any other conference. The only conference Nebraska fans wish to enter is the Big Ten and at the present time there is no vancancy in that circuit. Chicago hat been mentioned on several occasions as wanting to get out and on other ocacslons the conference itself has been said to want the Maroons to leave, but recent in formation from the part of the country seems to indicate that no such thought is in the minds of either Chicago or the Big Ten. It seems, then, that the hope of joining tome other con ference It out. Free Lance. The alternative is to embark upon a career of free lance rela tions with other schools. When ever this is mentioned there is al ways the cry of why not leave well enough alone. Then someone will say that the whole sports pro gram will he disrupted and the en tire minor sports program will have to be scrapped. This need not lie the case. Assuming that foot hall, basketball and track are the major sports, the school has met 1 02 conference opponents and 28 non-conference in the last nine years. Since competition has had little or no regard for conference lines, anyway, it would not be hard to continue to schedule teams re gardless to conference affiliations. Tracksters go Thru Hard Workouts for Kansas Relays Saturday. Track Coach Schulte will nn- pear tonight in the third of a se ries of broadcasts on John Bent ley s sports prog! am. During the broadcast tonight, Schulte will ex plain the fine points about high jumping. In the first two programs h e discussed the shot put and the discus. Most of the cindernien took a day off yes terday, resting up from the dual meet with Kansas last Saturday. The few men who AlA . .. ...4. uiu m . u uu HENRY SCHIIITF took only brief Lincoln Journal, warmup exercises because of the chill wind and the ROTC parade. Many of the trackmen had to take part in this parade. Schulte expects to put the men thru a hard workout this afternoon and possibly tomorrow in prepa ration for the Kansas relays, which will be held at Lawrence this Sat urday. He has not yet named the men who will make the trip, but some changes in the squad that took part in the dual with the Jayhawks are expected. He will decide which men to take either this afternoon or sometime to morrow. Second Meet Tomorrow, The second outdoor tri-color meet of the season will be held tomorrow afternoon. The first of these meets was won by the Green team, with the Reds second and the Orange third. It was held be fore spring vacation, Out of the four indoor freshman meets, the Red team won four and the Orange one. The Green squad failed to take a single meet until the first one of the outdoor series All of the tri-color teams will be strengthened by the appear ance of several frosh footballers who will work with the cindernien for the rest of the year. Leading this group is Vike Francis, who won the shot put in all of the in door meets while competing for the Orange. Vike has already shown that he may be expected to rival his older brother, .Sam in the shot. The younger Francis has already tossed the 16 pound weight over 44 feet. Included among the others are Edsel Wibbels and Harry Hopp, Wibbels has been working out some with the trackmen during the spring football season, but now will devote his entire time to track work. He specializes in the shot put and discus, finishing sec 6nd to Francis in the indoor meets in the shot, and throwing the dis cus over 155 feet several weeks ago. His best heave is just 11 inches short of the Big Six rec ord. Hopp is out for track for the first time this year. Coach Schulte has requested that as many as possible of the tri-cnior men turn out this afternoon. National Association of Coaches Slows Up 'Racehorse' Cage Play CHICAGO. (ACP.) "Racehorse-1 basketball, as played on college and university courts during the past season, will be slowed up when the hoopsters resume play next winter. At its meeting here last week, the National Association of Bas ketball Coaches applied two brakes to the game: they increased the number of time out periods to five and provided for optional use four ten-minute quarters instead of the usual 20-minute halves. The group also approved the use of a four foot instead of a two foot out of bounds margin behind the backboards and barred the making of substitutions after a goal is made until the ball is back In play.
