THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
WRESTLERS ARE
ONDER HANDICAP
Three Grapplers Will Be Un
able to Compete in Dual
' Meet at Iowa City.
THREE VETERANS ARE
NOT TO BE ELIGIBLE
A crippled wrestling squad will
represent Nebraska Friday evening
at Iowa City in the dual wrestling
meet with Iowa University. Fred
Fowler, 175-pound class regular, will
be unable to compete on account of
an infected ear. Mincer, in the 125
pound class, is still out with injuries,
and Molzen, promising candidate for
the heavyweight division, is also un
able to compete.
In addition, three veterans from
last year, Kellogg, Robertson, and
Lundy, are ineligible. Blore and
Skinner are not in the best condition,
according to Coach R. G. Clapp.
Iowa University defeated Nebras
ka last year by a good score. The
meet was at Lincoln. Karokovsky,
the huge heavyweight who furnished
a spectacle for the crowd, may be un
able to take part in the meet this
year, according to reports from Iowa
City.
O'Brien and Jacobsen, Iowa veter
ans, in the 135- and 145-pound divi
sions, may also be ineligible. The
Iowa wrestlers are a formidable ag
gregation, even without these men,
and the Nebraska chances of a vic
tory are slight.
Coach Clapp announced the lineup
yesterday. Blore will appear in the
115-pound class as usual. Hudson
will again take the place of Mincer in
the 125-pound class. McCoskey will
compete in the 135-pound division.
Capt. Dale Skinner will be in the
145-pound class, and Brannigan in
the 158-pound class. Brainard is
taking the place of Fowler in the
175-pound division, and Highley will
be in the heavyweight division.
The Missouri Valley wrestling
meet will be held in Lincoln on
March 13 and 14.
SuzzestNewMid' Western Association
To Take Place of Valley Conference
Valley Sports
The American sport fans are ac
quiring a liking for distance running
following the coming of Nurmi and
the return of Ritola to this country.
Perhaps the Finlanders do not realize
the fact, but they are doing a good
turn for America, by stimulating an
interest in the sport of distance run
ning. It means a boost to the 1928
Olympic prospects.
What ever debt the United States
may owe to these northern athletes
of Europe will be paid back in full
when Loren Murchison and Charles
Paddock make Finland their stopping
place on a world tour. Finland is in
need of sprinters, just as the United
States is needing distance men.
There has been a concensus of
opinion among the American sport
fans and critics that distance run
ning is injurious to the heart of the
athlete. About the best recommen
dation that one can give to a sport
of any kind is to state that these
men who are now setting world
marks are men who have passed their
prime. The only injury received
from distance running is the direct
result of leaving off of athletic train
ing too suddenly. As Dr. Woods
Hutchinson says, "The only injurious
exercise is no exercise at all."
Nurmi is twenty-seven years old.
So is Lloyd Hahn of Fall City, Ne
braska. No one can dispute their
ability. Joie Ray, still a great run
ner though eclipsed by Nurmi, is
thirty-four years old. On the other
hand, Stenrose, Finlander who won
the Marathon last summer is forty
three years old. LeMar, the Ameri
can 25-mile runner, who took third
in the same race is thirty-eight years
old. This is a better recommenda
tion for the sport than any argument
based on science, that can be found
against it.
The fact that cross-country train
ing in the fall is good for the devel
opment of distance runners for
spring track has been proved this
season. By looking over the field
of distance men in the Valley, we
find Kimport of Kansas Aggies as a
good example. Kimport is one of
the best milers and 880-yard men in
the field, and he was winner of sec
ond place in the Missouri Valley
cross-country run last fall. Pitten
ger of Missouri is the Valley indoor
record-holder of the wile, and win
ner of the Douglas cup race at the
K. C. A. C. this spring.
At home, Lewis, holder of the in
door Varsity records of the mile and
half-mile is the cross-country captain
for 1925. Zimmerman and Lawson,
who nave been showing up well this
spring are veteran distance anners.
Cohen, Johnson, and Hays, who have
been showing speed in the 880-yard
run this season, are harriers of the
Husker squad. Ross, winner of a
place ia the Missouri Valley meet
last spring, has had a late start this
season, but his prospects are excep
tionally bright Ross is fighting a
bad ankls at present, but it will be in
hap soon.
By Bob Latch
How would a new Mid-Western
athletic conference, including only
state universities' work?
Following the suggestion of
Kansas City man to this effect, ath
letic followers in the Missouri Val
ley are thinking about this question.
Whether or not ten state universi
ties would form a better conference
than the Missouri Valley is being
considered. The general opinion is
thnt it would not
Dr. John H. Outland, former coach
of the University of Kansas, in 1901,
and coach of the Haskell Indians in
1902 sent a communication to Ches
ter L. Brewer, director of athletics
at the University of Missouri, asking
for his opinion. His suggestion was
to join the Universities of North and
South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Texas,
Oklahoma, and Arkansas into an ath
letic conference and caU it the
"Great Plains" conference'
Dr. Outland's only reason for
so doing seems to be that it would
combine ten state universities and
produce state as well as university
rivalry. He also states that the new
conference would help each school
to build its stadium, and to foster
physical training in the school. But
he neglect3 to state why the confer
ence would help build stadiums.
"In the Middle West we have what
is called the 'Big Ten, consisting of
the universities of Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne
sota, Iowa, and the three schools,
Chicago, Purdue and Northwestern,
which are not state universities.
"This conference is enjoying a won
derful period of prosperity and pub
licity and has, almost from its in
ception. Now, it occurred to me
that a conference might be organized
consisting of the Universities of
North and South Dakota, Wyoming,
Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Miss
ouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkan
sas. "This would be the only confer
ence of its kind in the country con
sisting entirely of state universities.
I believe it could be made to increase
the interest in athletics among all its
members and create a friendly inter
state rivalry which would be helpful
to everyone."
"I can see", Mr. Brewer says,
"that it would be impractical for
every member to try to play every
other member of the conference, but
I see no reason for any of these
states refusing to enter such a conference."
Dr. Outland suggests that the uni
versities in the conference should be
allowed to schedule games anywhere
they liked, but they should be re
quired to schedule a certain number
of games, in order that a basis for
percentage be provided.
Whether or not action will be
taken on the matter furnishes ma
terial for conjecture. It is under
stood however, that Dr. Outland has
communicated with athletic depart
ments of each member in his pro
posed conference.

COMPLETE RETURNS
FROM RIFLE MATCH
Syracuse Wins From Nebraska
by 21 Points; Oklahoma
and Oregon Beaten.
Complete returns for the intercol
legiate firing of last week were re
ceived yesterday by Captain Eggers.
The University of Oregon was de
feated 3568 to 3019, even more de
cisively than Oklahoma A. and M.,
the first school to report. Syracuse
University took the measure of the
Nebraska team, winning with a score
of 3589 21 points more than Ne
braska. The firing this week is against
Creighton University at Omaha, Wof
ford College, and Pennsylvania Mili
tary Academy.
Mark Fair is the first Nebraska
shooter to fire a perfect score in the
prone position. Dale Skinner, firing
for the first time this season, dupli
cated Mark Fair's feat a few hours
later, and then continued his high
shooting in the sitting position in
which he made 98.
Seventeen men are competing for
places on the high ten team this
week. The scores are improving as
the men fire on the official targets.
Roberts and Lammli are each tied
for the highest four-position score
so far this year. They both made
370, Roberts ranking higher of the
two because his standing s!ore is bet
ter. R. M. Currier is only one point be
hind the two leaders, and the scores
of others when they complete the fir
ing in the four positions will be high
too.
Some good scores also being made
for the corps area matches. Dale
Skinner shot 100 in the first stage
prone position, and followed that
with a 98 in the sitting position.
The corps area firing will have to
be completed by a week from Saturday.
WANTS WOMEN TO

advantage of this opportunity.
The object of this campaign is to
encourage the wearing of reasonably
hygienic, comfortable, and sensible
as well as good-looking shoes.

Twenty-five Have Already
Won Numeral Jerseys; Men
Divided into Three Squads.
With the track season well started,
Coach "Indian" Schulte is perfecting
his track system, with over 300 men
out for work this spring. Of this
number, one hundred or more of
these men have entered in the scor
ing column of the numeral system,
and twenty-five men have won the
numeral track jersey. Schulte has
been developing a system of three
teams, to be coached by varsity men.
These teams will compete against
each other during the rest of the sea
Bon. The largest track squad in the his
tory of Nebraska has turned out this
season, and new men are showing
up better every day. Because of the
trreat number of men out this sea
son, Coach Schuite is giving the
greatest part of his attention to the
varsity candidates, who, in turn, are
giving expert instruction to the men
in their events. Besides this, "Ced"
Hartman ia developing the shot-putters,
and "Hobb" Turner is working
with the high-jumpers. Dick New
man is working with the vaulters and
"Mud" Gardner has been showing
the runners some of the finer points.
Although the system is scarcely
under way this season, results are be
ing obtained even now. Besides the
varsity men, there are approximate
ly ten quarter-milers covering the
distance in less than fifty-five sec
onds. In the other events the growth
is probably not so rapid, but it is
certain ot come.
The present system includes three
teams, the Red, White, and Blue
squads. The varsity men in each
event are coaches on onu or the other
of these squads, and all the men who
have been showing an interest in
competition will be placed on one of
these groups. Later there will be
regular meets, to make competition
for the men, and to give the coaches
some goal to work for.
The numeral winners up to date
include Frank Dailey, Davenport,
Engle, Fetterman, Gish, Hays, Oscar
Johnson, Leffler, A. Mandary, Mc
Cartney, Moore, Searles, Stephens,
Lewis, Wirsig, Wyatt, Zimmerman,
Ed Weir, Captain Crites, Locke,
Rhodes, Reese, Hulsher.
Several men only lack a few points
of winning their numerals, and will
probably meet the requirement of
making twelve points in two or more
events before long.

You can get all five degrees in the
Classic Duofold Pens
cAnd All Points guaranteed for 25 Years' Wear
FOR what kind of writing do you use a pen ? How do you hold it?
And what style of writing is entirely natural to your hand?
Close figure work or fine memoranda, for example, call for a fine
or an extra-fine point. But the medium point, the broad, or the stub
these give one's penmanship a personality and character that
make mighty valuable impressions in a letter or a signature.
These am reasons why, in the classic Duofold Pens, Geo. S.
Parker gives the world the whole five degrees of points that the
five degrees of writing require.
Points you can lend without a tremor, for no style of writing can
distort them. Points that are tipped with super-emooth Iridium, for
which we pay a premium of 200. Points that we guarantee, if
not mistreated, for 25 years' WEAR.
And every point set in a shapely, hand-balanceri barrel that feels
eo inspiring you hate to lay It down.
Any good pen counter will sell you this beauty on 30 days' ap
proval. Flashing black or black-tipped lacquer-red, the color that's
handsomer than gold and makes this a hard pen to mislay.
