TRACK.
Following spring vacation, Ne
braska's track team will open the
1925 outdoor track season, which
promises to mark a great advance
in the international sport at the
Scarlet and Cream school. A short
two weeks after the rest period, the
Huskers will journey to the Kansas
relays at Lawrence where they will
compete against the premier ath
letes of the Valley. Then comes
the Drake relays, several dual meets,
and the high school meet. That great
athletic classic, the Missouri Valley
conference championship meet, which
will be held here in the new stadium
on May 24, will wind up the season.
While track is second only to
football in popularity at Nebraska,
the track and field sport is still in its
infancy at the Cornhusker school.
In past years the Huskers have been
handicapped by the lack of facilities
for achievement in the cinder sport.
But this year things are different.
The outdoor track in the stadium,
one of the finest in the middlewest,
is almost ready. One hundred and
fifty aspiring Huskers in sweat suits
report every day, drilling and train
ing under the careful eye of the
"Indian."
Coach Schulte and the entire ath
letic staff are "pointing" their ef
forts towards track this year. The
untiring efforts of Schulte in build
ing up track in the state high schools
are bearing fruit. High school ath
letes are acquiring a greater respect
and intenser desire to come to the
Husker school because of Nebraska's
growing prestige in track.
America is sending a great team
to the International Olympics this
year. Nebraska should be repre
sented on this team, and Nebraska
will be represented. Scarlet and
Cream athletes, Coach Schulte's pro
teges, will be on this Olympic team
which will compete against the great
est specimens of physical prowess in
the world.
Nebraska's Olympic aspirants, and
the Olmpic possibilities of all the
schools in the Valley, all potential
world champions, will compete at
Nebraska on the 24 of May. Ted
Canty, the worlds greatest track
meet announcer, will be here.
Champions will run exhibition reaces.
Truly, the Missouri Valley meet will
bring together the greatest assembl
age of spiked shoe performers the
Valley has ever seen.
Coach Schulte's athletes have won
the Valley title cup for the past
three years. They are after a fourth
championship. They will fight hard,
sacrifice many things during the
next two months, in order to bring
home the honors on that day.
The Nebraska student body must
support their track team this year
like they supported the football team
last fall. With the greatest program
before them ever attempted by a
Husker track team, the cinder ath
letes need support. Every man who
can is urged to get out for track.
Students should boost for the Valley
meet when they go home for spring
vacation. They should advertise
this meet, that a crowd like that at
the Notre Dame football game will
pauk the stadium on the 24 of May.
Nebraska had an opportunity to gain
national and international recogni
tion in track athletics this spring.
Everything is set to emblazon great
achievements on Nebraska's athletic
escutcheon. All Nebraska must Ltlp
if the 1924 Husker track program
is to be a success.

"THE ABSURD TO-DO OVER
ATHLETICS."
(Indiana. Daily Student.)
Owing to the omnipotent prestige
of athletics in American universities,
college men are getting the wrong
idea of higher education, says Art
hur Howe, captain of Yale's 1911
football team, in an article in the
March issue of The Open Road.
"They get a one-sided view of life
and success," the former gridiron
pilot opines. "They are sidetracked
from things that last longer and are
worth more. They live in a little
world. Too many never explore the
ranges beyond their athletic horizon.
n a.i Uli-i: 1 3 U..4.
It la nut uiul HLtiiULica iie uuu, uui
rather that they are not so absurdly
important.
"In his saner and more thought
ful moods, many a graduate and ex
player must laugh at the absurd to-
do that is made over athletics," Mr.
Howe continues. "To see what it
amounts to, must bring a chuckle
accompanied by the thought, 'What
fools we mortals be!'
"What was once the play and fun
of the college man, has become the
business of highly paid coaches, the
serious concern of athletic alumni,
the thing of supreme importance to
the undergraduate," the Yale writer
declares. "Sport has been so pushed
and advertised that it is unwieldy and
absurd."
When a man who himself has been
carried along by the popular appeal
of athletics literally picks to pieces
modern college sportdom, a rather
unusual circumstance presents itself.
But, on the other hand, who is 'more
capable of pointing out the evils in
college athletics, if there are any,
than an ex-grid star who has had
years in which to consider his own
glorious football career, never los
ing sight of what it cost him and
ever realizing what it is worth to
him? No one can doubt but that
the gridder-scribe knows whereof he
speaks. But what solution does he
offer for the situation? What im
provement can he suggest? There
is none available. Athletics must
continue to hold a powerful position
in order to insure a high standard
of morale so essential to university
progress. The press must continue
to advertise sports because the ma
jority of readers demand it.

I The Best Business Career I
is what every ambitious college student and senior is i
thinking about at the present time.. Life insurance is
one of the best, one of the most desirable, and one of
1 the most satisfactory as a permanent calling. v
In assets and volume of business, life insurance is one
of the three leading businesses of this country, yet the
field is comparatively undeveloped. -Only seven per
I cent of the economic value of all lives in United
States is covered by insurance. This gives you an idea l
. of the big field still to be developed. j

j As to REMUNERATION, reports of college graduates
s who have entered business indicate that life insurance I
1 is at the VERY TOP as a SOURCE OF INCOME. Nor
1 is the time to consider what you are going to do at
1 the end of the semester. -

I interested to know about life insurance as a vocation, 1
