Nebraska's weakness in the pole

Profs, Why Embarras Students By
Asking For Books They Don't Read
It does one good to have a heart to
heart talk with ones fellow students
once in a while especially when some
thing has come up to prompt it. Now,
understand, I'm speaking from a poor
overworked student's point of view.
I'm not a "bolshevlc" and I Ion'i wear
a red cap but at times sven the meek
est of ua have to rise up and stand
for our rights.
Isn't it the "berries" when you are
in an English class and the "prof"
mentions the name of a book you
never heard of in all the twelve years
of your life? Then he asks if you
ever read the book, in fact, he is
sure, if you are the educated type,
you have this book among your col
lections. Then he asks for the hands
of those who own this book. You,
naturally, like all the others do not
like to be embarrassed, so, with the
rest you raise your hand. The "prof
perches his spectacles as far down
on his nose as ' that particular fea
ture allows and peers at the ' hand
raised" class. Then he calls on you
to compare the contents of this booi
with the material in the text, which
mlglit nappen 10 do a uimg essay,
"Pilgrim's Progress" or "The Tour
Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
For Instance you have some very
dear friends in that class who con
sider you a candidate "or P. B. K.
Naturally, you do not want them to
change their Ideas about you. The
thing to do, then, is to make a grand
guess at the "stuff" contained in that
awful book and make a "bluff com

parison. The chances are that net
one in the whole class has read the
book and a lot of times the "prof"
forgets, so if you happen to strike it
well your fortune, and, probably, se
mester grade, will be made. On the
other hand if you don't get u right
say, don't spend your money befoie
you've got it.
You swallow down 'hat Ineitable
lump and begin. "Now the book I
have at home says etc," you notice a
frown appearing on the brow of the
instructor, your heart flops and that
terrible realization that you struck
it wrong comes to your mind.
Then a lecture from the "prcf"' fol
lows. One of those scolding lectures.
He says he is surprised and disap
pointed that college men and women
do not think enough of their own
education to go and buy boons that
will help them. Books that are writ
ten by masters from whom beautiful
thoughts and expressions can be ob
tained. He goes on and instead of
spending money for Peacock Alleys
and Eskimo sandwiches you should
buy books and "soak" yourseilf in
them, spend your spare moments
1th, them, live with thm and ever-
thing. Then he begins to use Jes
tures and points at the class, you m
particlar, and scold some more.
All eyes are turned toward you and
they seem to say that you are the
causa of this hour of punishment. Tn

INN OUTLINES AG
ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Monte Munn, New Ag. Coach
Tells Agriculture Club to
Get Men Out.
At a peppy meeting of Ag Club
Thursday night, Monte Munn, the new
coach, outlined the athletic program
of the College and urged every man to
come out for some sport. Since this
is the initial step in such work on
the campus, the future depends upon
the number of men out and their
attitude. With a limited amount of
equipment Monte expects to stage an
interclass basketball tournament in
about two weeks. The class man
agers elected at the meeting are Jo
hannes Nielsen, Senior, Robert Weir.
Junior, Dean Higgins, Sophomore,
and James Barnes, Freshman. Upon
these leaders depend the g(rganz-
ation of their respective classes and
the success of the tournament. A
boxing class was also started with Joe
Lite as manager.
The first annual workout held from
4 to 6 Friday was very encouraging
to the promoters of this activity both
in number of men out ana tneir spirit.
About seventy-five men warmed up
either in basketball practice or with
the gloves. With the opening of the
track season several other men are
planning to report. This should raise
the number of athletes in the College
above the hundred mark which will
assure the success of the scheme.
HUSKER
CAGESTERS
IN LAST PRACTISE
Tcday Will be Last Strenuous
Workout Before Clash With
Oklahoma Sooners.
HOPE TO REVENGE THE
DEFEAT TWO WEEKS AGO
After Two Days Rest Will Invade
the Missouri Tiger Camp at
Columbia, Missouri.
Nebraska's cage artists will hold a
strenuous practice today in prepara
tion for the Oklahoma contest at the
coliseum tomorrow night. The Sooner
quintet defeated the Cornhusker flip,
pcrs at Norman two weeks ago, and
the Scarlet and Cream tossers are
planning to revenge this defeat. If
the Huskers succeed in taking the
measure of the Soner crow, they will
be tied with the Oklahomans for
fourth place in the valley race.
The Husker basketeers returned
Sunday from Drake, where the Husk
ers lost to the Bulldogs after a hard
fought contest, 34 to 32. the Bulldog
forward, Payseur, shooting the win
ning basket in the last two minutes
of play.
Play Washington Saturday.
This week promises to be a busy
one for the Husker cagesters. Follow
ing the Sooner game Wednesday night
the Huskers will rest for two days.
and then the Nebraskans will invade
Missouri, meeting Missouri, leaders in
the valley race, Friday night at Co
lumbia. Saturday night the Corn
husker quintet plays Washington, tail
enders in the conference, at St. Louis
Besides the three Husker games, ten
other conference games are carded
for this week. Tonight the Kansas
Jayhawkers meet the Missouri Tigers
in a contest that is expected to decide
the valley cage championship for 1922.
The Tigers have not lost a game this
year, while the Kansas crew but one
defeat, handed to them by the Tigers
The other conference games this week
are as follows: Wednesday Kansas
Aggies at Grinnell, Kansas at Wash
ington; Thursday Kansas Aggies at
Drake, Oklahoma at Ames; Friday
Kansas Aggries at Ames, Oklahoma at
Grinnell; Saturday, . Oklahoma at
Drake.
Nebraska is now holding fifth place
in the Valley race, with five victories
and five defeats. Missouri is still

while Kansas U. is still camped in
second position. Drake is in third
place, and Oklahoma in fourth place,
is leading Nebraska.
TENNIS AS
INTER-COLLEGE SPORT
National Association Gives Rank
ing of Intercollegiate Play
ers for First Time.
Doubtless the most signiticent
aspect of the intercollegiate ranking
announced by the United States Lawn
Tennis association, is the remarkable
picture the ranking gives of the
growth of the sport throughout the
country. The fact that it is the first
ranking of intercollegiate player
speaks for itself, but even more im
pressive is the distribution of play
ing strength that is apparent upon
analysis of the list.
It is also of interest lo note that
many of those who aro now winning
varsity matches, not so long ago were
competing under the system of junior
tournaments devised by the national
association, for yuugsters under IS.
Phil Neer of Leland Stanford, who
won the intercollegiate last summer,
started his eastern trips as the rep
resentative of the Pacific Northwest
in the junior events. He completed
first at Portland, Oregon, where he
resides.
Fritz Bastian of Indianapolis, James
Davies of Loso Angeles, Carl Fischer
of Philadelphia, L. E. Williams of
Chicago, A. H. Chapin of Springfield
all went through these junior tourna
ments, to name only a few of those
whose names are now prominent in
intercollegiate tennis. The ranking
was based upon performance in In
tercollegiate events. Walter Wes-
brook, whose playing was interrupted
by an attack of appendicitis was not
ranked becau- of insufficient data.
The list follows:
