Convict Defends Parole System
Though 'Old Timers9 Condemn It
A letter explaining further his
statements concerning the indeterm
inate sentence law made in a letter
published in the Daily Nebraskan
some time ago, has been received
front B. Clark, 8284 Lancaster. It
follows;
Lancaster, Nebr., Jan. 21. To the
Editor of Daily Nebraskan: Permit
me to thank you for your friendly
consideration of the convict's letter
to the University Square and Com
pass club. Primarily that letter was
not an attempt to refute Mr. Mat
son's views, nor was it inspired by
antagonism to him as a representa
tive of the law. Just and right in
all things else, it would be passing
strange for him to be also right re
specting the indeterminate sentence.
Naturally we would like to see the
sprouting wings of the man who is
never wrong.
The men outside of prison who
are trying to discredit the indeterm
inate' sentence law and the parole sys
tem would be surprised to know the
number of prison inmates who are
bitterly opposed to this law and sys
tem. The outside opponents of the
law want it repealed because they
think it prevents adequate expiation.
The inside opponents of this law want
it repealed because to them it in
volves entirely too much expiation.
Their argument may be fairly stated
in this way:
Had the trial judges given us
flat sentences commensurate
with the gravity of our alleged
crimes, we would not have re
ceived anything near the maxi
mum penalty prescribed by law.
But coming down to the prison
under the indeterminate sen
tence, the parole officer has dug
up our past records which are
held against us, and we are com
pelled to pay the maximum pen
alty. It is no exaggeration to say that
there is plenty of expiation required

JAYHAWKERS WIN
BY THREE POINTS
Husker Quintet Nosed Out by
Kansans in Shooting Streak
Near End of Game.
COZIER HANGS UP TWO
BASKETS FOR HIGH PLACE
(By John Hollingsworth)
The shooting Cornhuskers failed
to break the winning streak of the
invading Jayhawkers last night on
the Colesium floor and were forced
to take the short end of a IS to 10
count. The auditorium was filled
to capacity and the crowd was .
brought to its feet many times on
hair-raising shots.
The game was a defensive one
from start to finish with Nebraska
holding the best during the first half,
the Kansas combination taking the
honors during the final period.
Ackerman and Captain Black were
the main cogs in the invaders offense
j while Volz and Tipton held the on
slaught in good shape. Good son
started the scoring for Nebraska in
the first few minutes of play with a
fied goal from the side. Vols fol
lowed with another basket on the
next play. Nebraska had several
set-up shots under the basket but
missed them. The ball during the
first 10 minutes of play was in Kan
sas territory.
Bulgard started the storekeepers
in the Kansas column when he made
a free throw. Cozier dropped in a
field basket bringing the total of Ne
braska's points to six, and six is what
it remained at the end of the half.
Black scored two of Kansas three
points on free throws. Both teams
missed easy chances at field goals.
This was the first time for a long
while the Kansas team ha! gone for
a whole half of a game without a
field basket.
The score at the end of the first
half was 6-3, Nebraska. Ackerman,
on a field basket and a free throw
tied the score 6-6. Cozier hit a long
one from the side, making it 8-6.
Wilkin made the first basket in two
attempts and missed the second but
Ackerman followed in and made a
field goal, putting Kansas in the lead
for the first time by a score of 9-8.
Neither team was having a chance on
a close-in shot and both were resort
ing to long shots with each quintet
sharing equally in the hard luck hon-

Former Husker Football Star
Blames Alumni for Lack
of Co-operation.

ball star in '13, '14, '15, has just re
signed as football coach and director
