TRACK MEN FACE
STIFF SCHEDULE
.Schulte Issues Urgent Call for
More Cinder Artists Future
is at Stake.
TOO MANY LOUNGE LIZARDS
Nebraska has one of the stiffest
track schedules of her history to face
thin spring and In order to keep in
the spotlight of the Bport world, she
TOuet develop a flriat class team.
It's never too late to get out for
track," hnys Coach Schulte. "If you
are latp in getting under way this
spring, start anyway; there in a
future to be met"
Competition is the big word in
making any organization a success.
A real sprinter will go a notch faster
3f there is a man just behind him
stepping on his heels. A distance
man will go farther and faster if
there are men staying with him to
puh him on, and a good jumper will
leap his limit If there Is some one to
force him. Every man on the campus
with a pair of able legs should get
out in his spare time and offer the
brut he has in him. not only to earn
hie letter, but to compete with and
encourage the Varsity on, and to put
Nebraska at the top this spring.
No Varsity man Is out for the high
jump and there should be at least
five Varsity and five Freshmen out.
according to Schulte. There is an
urgent demand for a real broad
Jumper. All it takes is a little spring,
and an earnest desire to work, and
enough brains to understand the
Coach. At least six more vaulters
ghould be out and there Is need for
some good material for real sprinters.
There are no Freshmen registered for
the hardies and this makes the future
look gloomy. Freshmen are urged to
wake up and help pay their debt to
the school by getting out and leaping
over the paddles with a little pep.
Men are needed for the distances,
especially Freshmen. Distance run
ner ean be made and there is a good
opening for any track man to become
a 8 tar.
Coach Schulte prefers working with
the man who is a scrub and admits it,
rather than the man who is a scrub
nd thinks he Is a star. The Coach
is taking a keen interest in the Fresh
men and there Is no reason for not
developing a premier outfit, if the
men will turn out and work. S';hulte
brieves that the Freshmen are fall
ing down on their job. Too many
men are merely satisfied with gazing
on the laurels of the past. The man
who puts the most into it' is the man
who gets the most out of it and there
sheaid be at least 250 to 300 men
working out every day. Husker
lounge lizards must warm up the
finder paths because the sofas won't
put Nebraska on the sport map:

SIGMA NU CHAMPS
IN BOWLING MEET
Noses Out Acacia Quintet by
Eight Maples in Inter
Greek Finals.
Sigma Nu nosed out Acacia by eight
maples and nipped the bunting in the
Inter-Fraternity Bowling Tourney
which terminated yesterday afternoon.
In the first contest, Sigma Nu had
things there own way and romped
away with the big end of a 791 to 742
score. Acacia came back in the sec
ond battle and nosed their opponents
out by nine pins. Acacia slipped a
thirty-pin win over on their rivals in
the last contest but it was not suffi
cient to overcome the big lead the
Sigma Nu's had chalked up in the
opening battle. Overman for Acacia
was high pin man of the afternoon,
turning in a 520 score, while Pollock
ran up a 497 for high honors for the
Sigma Nu's. The rooting of the sup
porters was a feature and each team
was urged on as though they were
battling a man to man pugilistic
struggle.
This game marks the closing of the
most successful bowling season Ne
braska has ever seen. It looks as
though bowling will be one of the
main events for Inter-Greek contests
in the future and if the fire and pep
put into the tourney this year Is evi
dent next season, it will take its place
along side Inter-frat basketball and
trark. As a result of today's contests
Sigma Nu will be awarded a skin
sin' liar to those awarded for the other
firs; place winners.

Senior Class.
The honors were awarded at a meeting of the organization held Monday
evening. The highest average this year was 97.1 per cent, with a remark-
1 able gain over 93.6 per cent of last
tenth of the Class attained an ' average of over 90 per cent. The lowest
grade received was 87.5 per cent.

by the large chorus under the direction of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond. Miss

nary University initiations took place
Sunday evening when about thirty
children were entertained by the
fraternity candidates.
