Convict Replies to Speech
of County Attorney Mat son
to Square and Compass Club
That there two sides to the ques
tion "Crime and Criminals" the
prosecuting attorney's side and the
convict's side and that the criminal,
who is human in spite of the fact
that he is "sadly deficient and out of
plumb", is made a greater menace
to society than ever when incarcer
ated without hope of being able to
redeem himself, is the opinion of
B. Clark, an inmate of the state pen
itentary, in a letter to Frank M.
Johnson, president of the Square
and Compass Club. Clark is opposed
to the abolition of the indeterminate
sentence and parole system for
criminals.
Bud Clark,8284, was sent up from
Douglas county on November 30,
1921 for robbery. His sentence is
from ten to fifteen years. He is a
harness-maker by trade.
"To consign men and boys scarcely
out of their teens to prison with ex
cessive sentences, without hope of
parole or commutation of sentence
serves only to make them more dan
gerous and desperate when finally re
leased a greater menace to society
than before. Under the parole system
they are encouraged to work out

their salvation. A parole gives them
further incentive to redeem them
selves," he says.
The letter refutes many of the ar
guments presented against the in
determinate sentence and pardon laws
by County Attorney Matson in a
speech before the Square and Com
pass club on December 12. Mr. Mat
son laid emphasis upon tho need
for heavy sentences and punishment
for tho commission of crimes. After
reading a newspaper account of the
county attorney's speech, "Crime
and Criminals", the convict wrote
in his opinion to the university Ma
sonic club.
"Parole Law Does Not Apply."
"While some do fail in their first
effort to make good, the number
who are reclaimed to useful citizen
ship fully justify the existence and
continuance of the indeterminate
sentence and parole system," the
letter continues, "This is offered on
behalf of the first offenders, the
juveniles and the potential criminals
still at large. The parole law does
not apply to my case at all."
He says further:

EIGHT AMES PLAYERS
DISMISSED FROM SQUAD
Action of Coach Follows Re
peated Breaking of Train
ing Rules.
Following the violation of train
ing rules, after repeated warnings
from their coach, eight members of
the Ames basketball squad were re
quested by Coach Chandler to turn
in their suits. The men will be sus
pendod from the team until -they
make an apology for their actions to
the student body. The eight men
suspended weni: Captain Roberts,
Young, Norton, N. Behm, J. Behm,
Anderson, Page, Norton and Berry.
Raff, forward, and Jacobson, cen
ter, are the two regular left on the
squad. With two Valley contests
scheduled for the week-end Coach
Chandler will have to discover two
new guards and a forward. Fisher
can fill a forward position, but there
are no guards on the squad capable
of filling the suspended members'
places.
In case an apology from the sus
pended members is not forthcoming
before the end of the week, Wash
ington U and Missouri U, the Far
mer opponents for this week, are
very apt to add to their percentage
of wins.
Kansas Wins by Close
" Margin Over Sooners
The Oklahoma Sooners came very
near putting a crimp in Kansas Uni
versity's aspirations for the Valley
basketball championship, in a game
played on the Kansas court Tues
day, the K. U. team winning 21
to 19.
After getting away to a good start
the Sooners played good basketball
and were on the long end of a 12 to
9 count at the end of the first half.
Shortly after the start of the sec
ond half, Engel, Kansas sub forward,
put his team in the lead 15 to 14
with a well placed shot. From then
on the Jayhawks were never headed
but the game was hotly contested,
Kansas finishing the game 3 points
ahead. It wa3 her second conference
victory.

HUSKER CAGERS
STARTON TRIP
Play Kansas Aggies, Kansas
and Oklahoma Teams
This Week.
TO DECIDE NEBRASKA'S
CHAMPIONSHIP CHANCES
The Cornhusktr cage team, com
posed of eleven men, with Coach
Kline, left early this morning for a
three-day invasion of foreign floors.
The following men are making the
trip: Captain Usher, Cozier, Tipton,
Volz, Clack, Goodson, Beerkle, De
Witz, Tomes, Wyant and Close.
Three of those men, not yet an
nounced, will return after the game
at Lawrence Friday night.
This trip, which is the hardest on
this year's schedule, will probably
show Nebraska's chances for a Val
ley championship this year. Three
games will be played on the trip.
The Huskers will meet Kansas Ag
gies at Manhattan Thursday night,
Kansas on Friday, and Oklahoma on
Saturday night.
All of the games promise to be
real battles. The Huskers huve met
and defeated Kansas Aggies and Ok
lahoma already this season, but by
small scores. Since meeting Ne
braska, Oklahoma trounced Drake
by the score of 44 to 28, and has
shown much improvement. The Corn
huskers will have a real fight at Nor
man. The game with Kansas Friday will
force one of the teams out of the
triple tie for first place, between
Washington, Kansas and Nebraska.
Kansas is playing with the same team
which won the Valley championship
last year. They have already shown
their class by defeating Drake by the
lop-sided score of 49 to 14.

at Kansas City February 9. Other
Valley schools, including the Univer

meet, will have strong teams this year
and will furnish stiff competition for
the Husker athletes. Track Captain
Gardner is back and ready to start
work. Dave Noble, a main ccg in
last year's testa, will not be in school
