1:45.5 in the
back" stroke last year but in the
duel with Capt. Ward Sear at
Iowa State he turned in a 1:44.6
time to indicate he's ready to
hand up a new record.
Coach Jack McGuire of the Cy
clones could have the record hold
ing meaiey relay team back in
the race this year but is likely to
split the trio. Bill Bosworth, Ward
Sear and Fred Musscr swam in
that order at Lincoln a year ago
but Bosworth has turned free'
styler this year to break up the
team.
Mike Travis, Oklahoma breast
stroke star who won the event
last year, is in school this season
but has not been swimming. Travis
hurt his foot early in the year and
has not competed. He has been
working out all winter, however,
and may turn up at Ames this
week end.
Five men who placed in two
events a year ago will be back
to attempt to better their 1941
standings. Yeo and Novak of
Kansas State, and Lambert, Ed

Assures Aid
For Program
Cooperation Promised
By Clapp in Proposed
Non-ROTC Program Plan
In the event of the establish
ment of the proposed required
or voluntary non-ROTC physical
fitness program, the full coopera
tion of the men's phys ed depart
ent was assured yesterday by Dr,
F. G. Clapp, director' of the de
partment. The Daily, working with the
university psychology department
and the Student Council, is now
conducting a survey of student
opinion on this proposal, which is
now functioning successfully at
the University of Chicago. Dr.
Clapp stated that he had been
long trying to stir up students on
this very subject, and expressed
great interest in the Daily's ef
forts. Would Prove Invaluable.
Such a physical fitness program
would prove invaluable to draftees
or prospective draftees, said Dr.
Clapp. The chief complaint of the
army is that draftees are "soft,"
and that it is necessaiy to spend
from 6 to 12 weeks developing the
muscular strength and endurance
of the draftee before he can even
begin to start military training.
If, however, he has had this train
ing beforehand his chances for ad
vancement and for active service
are much better.
With the present staff and
equipment of the department,
three to four hundred additional
men could be taken care of in vari
ous activities. Thirteen activities
are offered on the present pro
gram including competitive games,
calisthenics, football, basketball,
track, boxing, fencing, and hand
ball. "Fighting Spirit"
Generally recommended through
out the country and by the army
are fast, vigorous calisthenics and
apparatus work. Competitive

Both Win Semi-Finals.
On Tuesday evening, the Betas
nipped the Farm House bid in
the bud by potting a shot as the
time had just expired, winning
by a 19-18 scores. The Fijis
wnippea wrougn the Delta Upsilon
five by a 34-12 decision in the
other semi-final tilt.
Last year, the Farm House won
the class A title by downing the
u. u.s in the finals by a 36-16
final. This insures a new class
A champion and the speculation
is runing high as to who it will
be.
Berger and Huffman Best,
In the Tuesday night scraps,
Justin Berger and Stan Huffman
turned in the best floor jobs for
the Betas. Bill Arnot was miss
ing but will be on hand for the
Fiji get-together to make things
As for the Phi Gam five, there
are several able basket snatchers.
Ned Ntuzman dropped through 14
points while Dean Nutzman and
Don Andreson were good for nine
apiece. The back court combina
tion of Roy Long and Con Healy
leaves little to be desired.
A New Champ.
Well, that's it. The new champ
win oe either the Betas or Phi
Gams and there should be plenty
of excitements tossed in for good
measure.
The once-defeated D. U. team
and the Farm House quint will
mix to decide third place in l-M
standings at 7:30 on the coliseum
court. Both games will be of hiqh
importance because the l-M Jack
Best trophy fight will depend
great deal upon it.
ATO vs. Kappa Sig.
In class B, the Alpha Tau
Omega five will test the Kappa
Sigma team in the final of that
league. This game will be held
tonight along with the consolation
game on the fershman court.
The former won by a 14-12 mar
gin over the Farm House B on
Tuesday while the Kappa Sigs
coasted into the finals with the
help of a bye.
Plenty of action will be forth
coming and a good crowd would
be appreciated by all the tarns
participating.
Exhibit ...
(Continued from Page 1.)
The exhibit is divided into sec
tions. Each section is devoted to
a particular idea with the entire
exhibit building toward a climax.
Outstanding in the section given
over to Art and the Negro is an
oil painting by Palmer Hayden
called "Midsummer Night in Har
lem" and a bronze head, "Portrait
of Hall Johnson" by Minna
Harkavy.
Paintings by Lincoln artists are
prominently displayed, including
oils by Kady Faulkner and Dwight
Kirsch, members of the art de
partment. Abstract Art.
"New York Under Gaslight" by
Stuart Davis is exhibited in the
section devoted to Abstract Art.
The painting is stark and clear in
color and perhaps a little confused
in design. Davis is probably Amer
ica's best known abstract artist
As up to date as today itself
is Art and the War. In this sec
tion is a pathetic oil painting done
in subdued colors called "The
Homeless" by Mitchell Siporin.
ui Faulkner also loaned two
l.'hographs from her own collec
tion to this section.
Dwight Klrscii, head of the art
department, asks that university
students visit the exhibit not once,
but several times. He also sug
gests that Saturdays and late
afternoons are good times to go
because there are not so many
visitors at these times, and the
students may leisurely examine
the exhibit
Spring Sports
Are Scheduled
. . Practice Begins
Director of athletics John K.
Selleck announced the 1942 sched
ule for baseball, tennis and golf
as the spring sports got notice by
the coaching staff.
Ad Lewandowski, jack-of-all
trades, was assigned to the base
ball coaching duties in addition to
his football chores. Those two
jobs are in addition to his basket
ball coaching job. Which is in ad
dition to his teaching job. The
question is whether or not he will
be holding the stop watch for
Coach Ed Weir's track team one
of these days.
15 Games on Tap.
The Huskers spring baseball
schedule calls for 15 games to be
played with eight games at home
