(fcuxdoL HUSK Kit OPPONENTS BUSY THIS WEEK Nebraska's surprise showing at Lawrence last weekend has caused considerable amount of activity in Big Six circles as the squad goes into the final act before the grand finale here May 21. The strong team of Kansas State college was doped to defeat the Huskers by a safe margin but the Huskers nipped the Wildcats by a small but decisive scove to take the triangular meet with K. U. as the No. 3 participant. This Saturday five of the con ference schools will be engaged in brushing up for the circuit games here. Kansas State will clash with Oklahoma at Norman and Mis souri will meet Kansas at Colum bia. The outcome of the Sooner Wildcat fray will be interesting because these two teams are con sidered to be stronger than the Huskers and dopesUrs predict that they will both finish well Eibove Nebraska In the conference meet. Kansas university will provide a target for Missouri so the Tigers can see just how many points they will be able to make Missouri buried the Iowa State Cyclones in a storm of scores which made an Iowa cyclone look like a mild breeze when the two teams met i" 111 "v meeting an improving e last week ut Ames.

Whenever the home team gets routed by such a wide margin, i storm of criticism breaks over the heads of the team. Milt Meier, sports editor of the Daily Kansan says this about the game. "The score was 21 to 1. That tells the story of one of the sloppiest exhibitions of baseball ever witnessed on a Kansas dia mond." "Part of the exhibition put on by the Jayhawkers might have been unavoidable but the largest part of It was just poor playing. When spectators In the stands ln gin laughing at a team and call ing what their next move will be it has to be bad. The Jayhawkers Just didn't exhibit even a fui amount of baseball sense."

McDermott resigned as head basketball coach at the University of Oklahoma to become director of physical education for men at the Sooner school. He has been the cage mentor for the past 18 years and coached the famous "Boys Scats," this year s sopho more aggregation which' dropped only two games during a hectic basketball season. Dr. W. B. Bizzell, president of the university, appointed Bruce Drake, freshman mentor, to suc ceed McDermott as cage coach. Drake will continue as golf and swimming mentor. McDermott will succeed Ben G. Owen as physical education director and Owen will devote all of his time to Intramural athletics. E ORIGINATED FAST BREAKING PLAYS 'Scotchman' McDermott Broke K. U. Dynasty With New Style. NORMAN, May 11. Spectacular University of Oklahoma basketball teams that shot down the floor like colored flame from a Roman candle have been the achievement for almost two decades now of Hugh McDermott, Sooner coach who resigned recently to accept a promotion as head of the univer sity'a department of physical edu cation for men. The little Scotchman who has handled Sooner basketball teams for 17 long years first worked out the system in 1927 when he coached Shawnee high school and with players like John Dunlap Prentias Mooney and Jelly Vinson developed a crackerjack high school team. Fast-Breaking Style. After Bennie Owen brought Mc Dermott, captain of the Sooner football and basketball teama of 1919. back, to the university in 1921 to become head basketball coach and heln with football, it took the Scotchman a couple or yars to install his new fast-breaking style. But in 1924. his third year, he went to town with a fighting kid team composed of Fred Wallace, Floyd McBrid. Doc Ruppert, Dun lap and Dick Wheeler, winning 13 of 16 Missouri Valley conference games and finishing aecond to mighty Kansas. And when McDer mott's spirited sophomore club licked Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers that year in the old Armory at Norman, 26 to 20, stop ping a Kansas winning streak of 34 consecutive wins that still stands, basketball was born at O, U. and the enthusiasm of the state and campus knew no bounds. Smashes Jayhawk Dynasty. Just as valley fans were begin ning to believe Doctor Allen's Kan sas teams invincible, McDermott developed probably his strongest Oklahoma team of all time, the all victorious giants of 1928 who swept the 18 game schedule all victorious, annihilated Kansas 45 to 19 in the first game ever played in the ficldhouse and smashed the six year Jayhawk dynasty. Altho he lost -Vic Holt, Granny Norris, and Roy LeCrone by gradu ation, McDermott put two sopho mores and a reserve with Bruce Drake and Tom Churchill, veterans he retained, and In 1920 built an other fine Oklahoma club that was all-victorious in conference play, altho losing two non-conference games to Washington. The Scotchman's Oklahoma clubs hold nearly all Big Six scoring records. His Boy Scats, like his 1924 team a militant kid aggrega tion, averaged 45.8 pointa per game this season to break all Big Six conference team scoring records. Besides, McDermott's 1934 clubs' 68 points In a single game against Kansas State never has been beaten nor has Bud Brown ing's 27 points against Kansas In 1935.

Kuper, Brownlee, Andrews, Owens Stage Exhibition For State Athletes. Coach Schulte has scheduled an other exhibition race as a part of the state high school track meet, which will be held tomorrow and Saturday in Memorial stadium. Running in this race will be four varsity men. Al Kuper, John Brownlee, Wilson Andrews and Paul Owens. Schulte is not yet sure what distance the race will be, but says that it will be for a half, three quarters, or a full mile, depending upon how the men feel. It will be held right after the 440 prelimi naries Friday afternoon. The other feature race will be a mile run Saturday afternoon be tween Carl Saltzglver of South Sioux City and five Husker tri color men. Brownlee Breaks Record. Yesterday's paper carried an er roneous report of the time regis tered by John Brownlee in the two miles which he ran Monday. The time was flist given out as 10:26.7, and which was reported in the Ne braskan yesterday. A check was made later and it was found that the correct time was 9:49, which makes this the fastest practice two miles ever run on the Husker track. Attention yesterday was concen trated on the hurdlers, with sev eral flights of lows being run. Bill Gish's best times were :12.8 for 110 yards and :26 flat for the 220 yard barriers. Eldon Frank beat both of Gish s times, registering a :12.6 for 110 yards and :24.8 for 220 yards. All these runs were made around one curve. Coach Schulte is depending on these two men to account for several Husker points in the conference meet. which comes up on May 20 and 21. In the indoor meet, Gish lead the pack in the lows and Frank took the highs. They have finisned one- two in all the outdoor dual meets this year. Simmons Takes Time Out. Bob Simmons took the day off. complaining of a sore stomach muscle. He has been troubled witn this before and Schulte thought it best that he lay off for a while rather than to take a chance of further aggravating the injury. Frank also complained of sore stomach muscles yesterday. Elwood Pankonin, who was put on crutches early this week by an infected foot, reports that his foot has been responding to treat ment well, and was off his crutches yesterday. He is still barely able to walk, and will not work out for several days. Rain Stops Practice. The light sprinkle that fell yes terday hampered activity, and sev eral men did not turn out. Light warm-up exercises and a rundown sufficed for most of the men who did report. Pole Vaulter Verl Athey turned out yesterday for the first time in several weeks. Athey has been troubled with a game leg most of the spring, but will try to whip himself into shape in time for the conference meet. He accounted for several points during the indoor season, and if he can do that in the championship meet, he will be most welcome to Coach Schulte.

RACE FOR VISITING PREP SCHOOL IN State Prep Track Meet Entries Reach New High Annual Classic Draws Men From 173 High Schools Over Nebraska. A new high for the list of entries in the state high school track meet was reached Wednes day, with 173 schools sending per formers to the annual classic which will be held on the Husker cinders Friday and Saturday. The former high was 169 teams, which was set last year. Forty eight entries were announced Wednes day, which pushed the mark to a new high. Probably the stiff est competi tion will be centered in the shot put, the discus, and the javelin. The shot will be a two way battle between Vic Schleich of Lincoln High and Henry Rohn of Fremont. Schleich has done over 50 feet on several occasions this year, and Rohn heaved the twelve pound pill for 51 feet once. The fight will be close for the other places in the shot, with six other men all ICEGAME Reds Win Over White Team By Score of 59-32 Last Night. University maplemen held a practice game in the coliseum last night, when Coach W. H. Browne divided the squad, consisting of 21 members, into two teams, the Reds and the Whites. The Reds won by a score of 59-32. According to Coach Browne, one more practice game on May 18 will conclude the spring session. Coach Browne is faced with replacing nearly all of last season's quintet due to graduation. Several combi nations of attack were tried by the mentor to find a functioning squad. For the Whites, Thomas. Ko- vanda and Tallman showed up in the scoring column, while Duncan and Pltcaithley stood out for the Reds. Kovanda of the Whites gar nered 15 tallies for high point man. while Duncan outscored his Red mates with ten markers. Taylor of the Whites showed up with some snappy passes and floor play.
