Dashes Will be Hard
Fought Contests
The tiual tryouts for the Scarlet
and Cream team which will make the
trip to the Drake Relays next week
will be held in conjunction with the
inter-fraternity meet. The competi
tion will be closer than that of any
previous tryouts this year, and Coach
Schulte is expecting several Cornhus
ker track records to be shattered. A
squad of Omaha Medics will compete
In the tryouts.
The Varsity tryouts Saturday are
going to settle some track arguments
of long standing. It will be recalled
that last year Dave Deering and Ed
die Smith were having a constant
battle for supremacy in the 100 yd.
dash with Deering holding the honors
in the early part of the season and
Smith holding them at the end. Deer
ing has been working steadily Bit
Omaha and in his recent tryout
against Smith and Noble led the twp
home campus boys by a comfortable
margin.
There three men will meet half a
dczm times this spring over the cen
tury distance, but the race Saturday,
the first official race of the season,
will be a peculiarly hard fought one.
And in speaking of sprinters, Dave
Noble must not be overlooked. His
work during the indoor season and
the tremendous power he has in the
out door longer season marks him
as a dash man that both Smith ami
Deering will have to keej a. close eye
on.
The 440 Varsity tryouts will also
bring out some keen rivalry. Ted
Smith and Hawkins have been witch
ins earn other rather closely in spite
of the fact that they are almost blood
brothers in training and both of these
ni( n have a questioning eye on the
tall red chap, Layton, and the three
together are watching such men as
Daidson, Beckord and Hardt.
Tiie mile race tryouts for the four
mile relay team will find six men
fighting for places. On past perfor
mances, Allen woulde be the class of
the find but with the rapid improve
ment that Coats, Fischer, Slemmons.
iiiil Nifhols have made nnd the Intro
'ik tion of the little 880 man. Mud
Gardner, into the mile, Allen will
have to look to his laurels. Coach
Seliulto is confident that with a .fair
!; the mile race will be the greatest
rat or milers that has ever been run
n Nebraska field.
The competition in the discus be
wen Weller and Moulton on the one
hand and Noble and Hatch on the
other will show some class in per-i
formance. Both Weller and Moulton
are throwing the platter close to Ne
bivska's record in daily practice.
The Iiigh hurdle race for the Var
sity between Herbert Gish, King Lear
and Ike Lukens will show a Close
and fast race. Gish practically has
been going in better from than ever
before. Lear and Lukens are run
ning their first year on the high hur
lies ami both are showin excellent
promise.
Saturday's Varsity tryouts will find
n the field one Varsity record hold
" in the person of big Bub Weller
8nd five Missouri Valley Conference
Indoor record holders in the persons
f Ed Smith, Kenneth Hawkins. Mud
Gardner, Eve Allen and the mile re

good bid for the Greek track cham
pionship. The Delts have a number of excel
lent athletes, who are expected to

Delts also have Sloan, sprinter, Mey
ers, hurdler, Bloodgood distance man,
Cozier, sprinter, and Gleason, pole

The Sig Eps have a large array of
athletes and are planning on copping

in the hurdles, while Trexler will
run the dashes. Nowlin will also run
in the dashes. Carman will throw
the javelin and Lewellen will run
the high hurdles. The Sig Eps also
have a fast relay team.

LETTER FROM RUSSIA
COVERED WITH STAMPS
A letter was received at Postofflce
Station A from Russia, having 8500
Rubels postage and marked due four
cents collect. (This lextjra postage
was due to the fact that the weight
of the foreign postage made the let
ter heavy. There was no room on
tho envelope for stamps, which were
in small denominations, so the stamps
were tied on. They appeared the
equivalent of four pages of American
stamps, hundred stamps to a page.
Another letter came the day fol
lowing and cost 30,000 rubles post
age; 20,000 for registration and 10,
000 for ordinary postage. One could
hardly find the letter for the great
number of stamps.

Men Must Come Out and Learn
the Fundamentals of Pig

The Scarlet and Cream spring foot
ball squad went through another
strenuous drill last night, but 13 still
handicapped by the lack of material
from which to build next fall's Corn
liusker gridiron machine. The spring
workouts are being devoted to drill
ing the men upon the fundamentals
of the pigskin game and unless all
the gridsters get the benefit of this
drill the Husker team will be serious
ly slowed up next fall.
The' candidates went through a
snappy drill last night under the di
rection of Coach Bill Day and Farley
Young, freshmen coach. Punting,
sidestepping and various formations
were practised. The men who were
out last night showed plenty of en
thusiasm and lots of fire. However,
the same men repoit every night
and about thirty-five men have uni
forms who are not reporting for the
Captain elect Chick Hartley is as
sisting in the coaching of the grid
sters ani is proving himself to be a
most capable leader. Hartley yes
terday issued another appeal for all
fellows who are good football ma
terial to come out at once. He de
clared that Nebraska must have more
men out If the enviable reputation
that Nebraska has won in football
is to be upheld next fall.

Rock Island Park at 1:30, the game
starting early because of the Inter
Fraternity track meet at 3:30.
The Coyotes will invade the Hus
ker camp tomorrow with blood in
their eyes, determined to avenge the
defeat of last Saturday, in which the
Huskers were victorious by a great
margin. The Methodists have been
working hard for the past week de
veloping their team work and bat
ting. Today they meet the Seward
Seminars in a practice game. Rogge,
start hurlor for the Ooytesj, and
Hinman, also of their pitching staff,
are in good shape for a speedy battle.
The hurling staff of the Nebras
kans are whipping Into excellent
form. Munger or Zeigenbein will be
in the box when the game is called
tomorrow, while barman and Ber

gation through a stiff routine of prac
tice which will include batting, main-
A batting cage will be procured
soon with which practice batting can
be done in a corner of the park while
the diamond is in use.
The Kansans are playing a good
game of baseball this season and it
will mean no small amount of hard
work on the part of the Huskers if
they emerge from the 1922 race as
the topnotchers of the Missouri Val
ley. The Kansas University games
with the Huskers will, from present
conditions, feature a speedy brand of
baseball. The Oklahoma Sooners,
who met defeat twice at the hands of
the Huskers and gained one close
victory, drubbed the Kansas Univer
sity recently.

EAR OF CORN
BADGE OF AGGIES
Agricultural Announce "Farmers
Fair" May 6 with Paper
Ear on Lapel
"Whatza ear o' corn for?" May 6.
Just stop and think a minute. It is
rather unusual to see ears of corn
grow overnight, especially at this sea-,
son of the year, but the Ags are
blooming out with yellow nubbins
that all seem to be alike in that they
carry the date May jS and a big
"what" mark at the tip in place of
the silk. Even the girls are showing
their ears today. It's the new fad
and more than that it's loyal support
to Ag College. If a wearer of the
ear doesn't shout the answer to your
questions of "Whatza earn oi corn
for?" just read it hare Farmers'
Fair, you'll be there, Ag Campus,
May 6.
One of the new and most attract
ive features of this year's Farmers'
Fair will be the outdoor rostume pa
geant to be staged on the Ag Cam
pus during the afternoon of the Farm
ers' Fair day. Udnre the direction of
Miss Bradt of the Home Economics
department the girls are already well
along with their practice for a beau
tiful play.
The pageant . is the old fairy tale
of the Sleeping Beauty. Fifteenth
and Sixteenth century costumes with
groups of fairies and peasants and
fitting scenery will combine to en
tertain every one who can see the
show with some of the most beauti
ful scenes that can now be imagined.
Indeed the girls are to be commended
for utheir efforts in this undertaking
which will add such a diversion from
the usual fair.
The pageant is in three acts, the
setting of the first is the christening
of the small princess by the good
fairies. One wicked fairy offers her
the evil wish that some time while
she is spinning she will prick her
finrrer cn a spindle and die. One
crafty fairy changes the wish to a
less fatal sleep of 100 years.
In act II the princess finds th" only
spinning wheel left in the kindoni
and pricks her finger. A fairy puts
the entire court to sleep so the prin
cess will have company when she
awakes.
In Act III the Prince comes. He
awakens the Princess with a kiss af
ter which the entire court and the
prince and prnicess rejoice.
Such in brief is the outline pf this
pageant which none should miss. It
alone will be worth the entire after
noon on Ag Campus.
"Well, where will we go now," will
never be heard among the mobs that
tramp over the Ag Campus on Satur
day, May 6. Guide Books will be fur
nished by the Fair Board to all the
visitors. These Fair Board managers
are so thoughtful of the welfare of
their vistors that they will make the
guide book so simple and convenient
that seeing every feature of the Fair
will be as simple as doing the weekly
shopping from a list on the back of
sn old envelope. There will be ab
solutely no excuse for any remarks in
weeks and years to come about miss
ing even one of the attractions of
this fair.
Everything will be down in plain
Ag print in that little book which will
be . a life saver for every funseeker
that day. A complete program of
the day with a good map of the cam
pus will combine to make it possible

chine, is to be going full speed for
the benefit of visitors both students
and their friends.
Wednesday the engineers try their
hands at the newspaper game pub

engineers' night.
The special engineers' convocation
will' be held in the morning, with
Dean Marston as the speaker.
Schedules are to be printed and
given out, giving the time of each
special display when the molten
iron is to be poured out; when the
wireless concert will start; when the
"spooky way" and burning iron of
the chemicals will be going best and
when the cement beams are to be
placed and crushed.
Friday morning the floats will cir
navigate the campus, pass through
the straights of O street, and return
to port to allow the erews to partici
pate in the field day events. These
will consist of level and transit races
and athletic contests. Some remark
able speed is expected, as a prize of
a $60 set of drafting instruments has
beer offered by A. E. Long and is
to be given to the best all round man.
Individual prizes for each event may
