TOURNAMENTS CONDUCTED IN
SLIP-SHOD MANNER.
The athletic authorities in charge
of the interfraternity tournaments,
in our opinion, conduct these in a
very loose, slip-shod manner and of
ten are open to criticism because of
the careless methods they employ.
Intramural sports are an asset to the
school and to the groups themselves.
Athletic material is often uncovered,
and the tournament, is good for the
fraternities because is is a means of
getting acquainted and creates a
great deal of good feeling.
There were many complaints at
the time of the interfraternity basket
ball tournament because of the rul
ings of the athletic department. Cer
tain men were allowed to play for
certain teams, and others ruled out
for others. There seemed to be no
definite rule that those in charge
governed themselves by, other than
the elastic limits of their own judg
ment, and of course that doesn't al
ways work, especially when there are
a great many with conflicting inter
ests to please.
Now in the interfraternity base
ball tournament, Phi Kappa Psi, who
defeated their opponents, had to for
feit the game because one of the men
that played happened to be on the
track team. We do not dispute the
wisdom of barring the members of
the track team, but a uniform set of
rules should be used and all contest
ants informed as to the conditions
under which the tournament is to be
conducted.
definite set of playing rulej
should be drawn up for each intra
mural sport and they should be strict
ly adhered to. It should not be ne
cessary for the athletic office to list
a number of men that are ineligible.
Rather they should list the classes,
that are eligible and then let the fra
ternities go ahead and play the men
they wish to. Then if they violate
the rules, let them forfeit the game.
But it is manifestly unfair, when
there are no definite rules to govern
these contests, to force a fraternity
to forfeit a game that they won fair-
ly.
The athletic office takes on quite
a job when they attempt to go
through the membership lists of the
competing fraternities and rule out
the men that should not be allowed
to play. There too many chances for
slips.
Why not bar those men that have
won a letter in the sport in question,
or the men that are trying out for a
varsity team at the time of the tour
nament? Let the coaches post a list
of their squads and there will be no
more such bungling as in the past.
LOOKING BACK WITH THE HUSKERS.
Par be it from us to imagine that we know anything about training
track men, but nevertheless, we would like to suggest that Coach Schulte
offer an intensive training in Bible study for his proteges. If Roland Locke
had been thoroughly familiar with the story of Lott's wife, he probably
would have never looked back and let two men step around him, for first
and second places, in the century-dash at the recent Drake relays.

Even then 1$ finished third, which is much better than the unfortunate
Mrs. Lott was able to do.

happens again we are going to collect his pay check and spend every cent

If the cadet regiment fails to get a blue-star rating this year, we
recommend that the military department arrange to have the inspecting
officers here earlier next year. The evening of the military ball would
be a good time to hold a review. The cadets always make an excellent
showing on that evening.
Besides the military 'ball in the city auditorium is much more pleasant:

OUR VACATION SUGGESTION BUREAU.
With vacation only a few weeks away it is time to make plans for the
summer. In order to aid those who are a bit perplexed over where to
vacate this year, we will publish a few suggestions:
1. An airplane trip over northern Canada. This is a very elevating
trip and many people have chosen this journey after having been up in
the air all winter trying to decide where to spend the summer.
2. A submarine cruise to the Hawaiian islands. This voyage is
simply out of sight. It is especially recommended for college professors
and other research workers who desire to get to the bottom of things.
For those interested in mounntain climbing, Kansas City offers some
inviting opportunities.
There is some very good fishing in some parts of the Pacific ocean.
If you are interested in securing additional information, please en
close a two-cent, uncancelled, postage stamp in a self-addressed envelope,
together with your latest picture and telephone number, and we will be
out and talk it over with you.
When we hear a person giving unlimited praise to something because
it's exclusive, we wonder if it ever occurred to him that a skunk is very
exclusive.
It looks as if som of the Lincoln western league pitchers would have
to borrow "The Wishing Ring" from the Kosmet Klub.
If it wasn't for our school-loyalty, we might suggest that out own
baseball team could find use for it, at times.
Students who will be here this
week are the kind that are wanted
at Nebraska. They are the leaders
in the three lines of endeavor track
debate, scholarship which they re
present. Proper support of high
school fete day will convince them
all that the University of Nebraska
should be their goal as soon as they
finish high school.

OUP GUESTS.
The University will have as its
guests this week, approximately three
hundred high school students. They
will be here for the track meet, the
debating tournament, and the inter-
scholastic contest.
The annual high school track meet
is an event which should be of in
terest to all University students.
Many varsity performers were first
seen on a Nebraska track when they
came here with high school track
teams. Some good records have
been made in former years and fol
lowers of the cinder sport will be able
to see a first-class meet in the stad
ium Saturday.
In former years, the attendance at
the debates of the high school league
was a disappointment to many of the
debaters. Every team that will be
here this week is the champion of the
district that it represents. Nebras
ka students can best welcome these
students by goin to hear the debate.
The interscholaetic contests were
first held last spring. Med
als will be awarded to the winners in
ach event, and contestants must be
convinced that scholarship, as well as
excellence in athletics and other ac
tivities, is appreciated on the Ne
braska campus.
THE INSPECTION.
The inspecting officers have come
and gone, and it will be some time
beofre we learn what report they
made, and what our rating will be.
We hope that we will be included
in the lists of the twenty-five best
units in the country.
The inspection went off in fine
shape, much better than last year,
and we are optimistic of the result.
But regardless of that, there is no
question but that Nebraska should
be among the leaders. Our Univer
sity ranks with the best of them, and
so should the R. O. T. C. unit.
The time to prepare for next
years inspection is right now. If we
are not up to standard, then it is high
time that we were preparing to im
prove our rating.
So let's start getting ready for
next year.
