The Ames football team have scheduled a game with Southern California Branch University. M. Sallee was elected to captain the 1926 harriers of the Kansas Ag gies. Sallec was one of the star performers of the Aggie team which has won the Valley championship in the past two years. Five of this season's teams returns for another year of competition next fall at Man hattan. An invitation to the Texas relays March 2(5 and 27 has been received by the athletic department. These relays draw athletes from the entire south, Most and middle west. The games are sponsored by the Univer sity of Texas and Rice Institute.

Nebraska will be the last team to get into action against a Valley op ponent, meeting the Grinnell team, coached by Charles Black, famous K. U. athlete, at Lincoln, on Janu ary I(i. Give Advice About Cramming Cram to forget when the exanv- is over and you'll forget, but cram to remember what you read for a long time and you'll remember, is the advico given out several days ago by Dr. W. S. Foster, of the psy chology department to the students at the University of Minnosota. Had Odd Law at Swarthmor A book of laws of Swarthmore College published in 1833 contains the following laws: Students of the two sexes, ex cept brothers and sisters, shall not walk together on the grounds of the college, nor in the neighborhood, nor to or from the railroad station or to the skating grounds. They shall not coast on the same sled. No clubs for playing tennis, cro quet, or other games shall consist of both Rexes. Students are permitted to go into the library only when accompanied by a teacher. At a recent alumni dance at the University of Washington the fifteen piece orchestra had five pianos. Women at tho University of Okla hnmi are forbidden to have dates after seven on week nights. Walk ing from the library with a man may lead to dismissal from school. Iowa University at Iowa City has recently installed a telephone in each room in tho dormitories which is connected with the local exchange and listed in the local directory. The huge pyre which the students at the University of California had erected for the celebration after the Washington game was destroyed by fire of an unknown origin the night before the game.

Th states of Washington and Oregon in dicate that these schools will be un able to compete with Nebraska be cause of the rainy season at that season of the year. However the athletic management at Nebraska is still working on the idea. Promise of Good Team Prospects for a good team, are bright this season with the return of letter men in almost every event. At present there is no visible candi date for the high jump unless one of the fair performers of last sea son should show some good form this year. The quarter mile event has suffered by the graduation of Cap tain Crites, Scherich and Beckord. The field events still need some ma terial in the javelin, discus and broad jump, along with the high jump. In the pole vault Nebraska has two ex cellent men in Wirsig and Rhodes, in spite of the graduation of Glea son. These two men are tied for the Varsity record of well over 12 feet. Captain "Gip" Locke will no doubt add more fame to his present fine record according to Coach- Schulte. Unless some man of exceptional abil ity appears from the freshman ranks of last season there is no runner in the Valley, perhaps even in the na tion who can show his heels to the Husker captain, according to the Nebraska track coach. Other sprinters of ability include Bill Hein, Dailey, and A. Mandery of the 1925 team. Mandery may not be able to attend school the second semester however. Hein was the sprinter who pressed Locke in the Valley last spring, and with a better season this year he should press this captain to more records. Hein had an operation for tonsilius last spi ing which slowed him up. Weir Working Hurdles All-American Weir has been work ing some on the hurdles as has Dailey and Rhodes. Locke will no doubt take some interest in the low hur aie.s inis spring. inougn ne was attempting them for the first time last spring, his showing was very en couraging. Rhodes will share hon ors with Wirsig in the pole vault, and both have working on the event already. Krimmelmyer has made an early season mark of over forty feet which indicates that "Big" will be among the leaders. Almy, letter man in the javelin has been working out all ready, while Pospisii has been taking a few turns at the discus. Coach Schulte is all ready talking of a 2-mile relay team which will be able to get under 8 minutes. Of these Lewis, winner of the indoor Valley half last spring, and Ross, Varsity record holder in the mile, will probably be the best Roberts and Johnson of the freshman squad last spring are showing good form. Besides the possibility of these men running the mile event there is Law son and Searle of the harrier, squad. Zimmerman, and Hays, letter men of j last year may run either the mile or j the two mile, along with Reller, an- j other harrier. Nebraska Seal Stationery Oklahoma Aggies and Ames Washington. The next evening Nr. braska goes into action against Grin nell, and Ames plays Missouri. at 'pressing need of a high jumper on the 1926 track team should call oat a large number of aspirants, who, with constant training could equal or better six feet. Nebraska meets Croighton Uni versity at Omaha on Saturday even ing in its last pre-season game be fore the opening of the Valley sched ule. These two teams have met on the court three times and on two oc casions the Huskers have emerged victorious. This year Creighton boasts of another fast team. During the holidays they won victories over Minnesota and Iowa State. With the passing of the 1925 ath letic season, also passed the name of "Pikers" for the Washington Univer- .' . -kit any amines. ror twenty-one years the name has been given to the Val ley teams from St. Louis, but at a recent meeting of the students, fol- of Kansas Aggie ago is an example "Red" Irwin fame two years of a "campus find." "Red" was prevailed upon to take up track work though he never did anything in ath letics before. He was incidentally Valley champion two years as well as winner of the Drake and Kansas relays and of the national meet at Chicago. Interesting to followers of Mis souri Valley sports and the fine pro ducts of athletes from this section, is the choosing of Emerson Carry ,'r. of Hutchinson, Kansas, to captain the 1926 Cornell football team.
