UNABLE TO LOCATE MUSIC INSTRUCTOR Disappearance of William J. Hart, Teacher in University School of Music, Alarming Disappearance of William J. Hart, instructor at the University school -of music, has caused uneasiness to his parents and friends. Hart played an accompaniment Friday afternoon but did not meet his Friday afternoon classes at the University. It is believed that Hart may have gone to Kansas City, where he told H. F. McCulla that he had business. He had drawn two hundred dollars from a bank. It is feared that Hart may be the victim of ammesia or a nervous breakdown as the young man is carrying a heavy schedule, at the University and. is also interested in outside activities. It is stated that he was subject to a disorder of the heart, but he has had no recent at tacks. Nohting has been heard of Hart up to eight o'clock Saturday night. LEWIS WINS 600 YARD RACE FOR SECOND SEASON Sprinter Scores Nebraska Only First in K. C. A. C. Meet OTHER HUSKERS PLACE Schulte Satisfied With the Results of Trlpi Nebraska Stars on Injured List Nebraska took one first, two sec onds, and two third places at the annual Kansas City Athletic Club in door tack meet held at Kansas City Friday night. Jimmie Lewis won the Stephen-Douglas cup race, GOO yards, for the second consecutive season, with Glenn Johnson second. Lewis' time was 1:10 6-10. Ross took second place in the half mile run. He was beaten by Snodgrass of Pitts burg, Kansas normal, with a time of 2:4 4-10. Roberts ran a beautiful race in the 1,000 yard handicap race but be cause of the narrow track and the large number of 'contestants he was not able to gain the lead but pulled up to third place' and held it until the finish. Wirsig cloared 12 feet 3 inches in tho pole vault, and tied for third place. The winning heighth was 12 feet 6 inches. Kansas defeat ed the Nebraska one mile relay team, winning in 3:32 8-10. One Kansas City indoor record was broken when John Kuck, putting the shot for the State Teachers College of Emporia, Kansas, threw it 40 ffet 1-4 inches. The throw lacked six inches of being a world's record. The other members of the Ne braska team failed to place in their events. The niuin trouble was not being used to a board track. The meet, however, was an excellent ex perience for the new men, and should help them in the meets in the future, according to Coach Schulte. The team was without some of its best men on account of injuries and sickness. Weir has been in the hos pital and could not report for prac tice. Locke, who equalled the world indoor record for '60-yards last year, was unable to make the trip. Rhodes was also compelled to stay at home. This is the first year that these men have not taken this trip since their first year of competition. Nebraska has now won the Shannon-Douglas cup two years in suc cession. If Nebraska succeeds in winning it next year it becomes her permanent property. Lewis, twice winner, cannot compete next year.

Employment Demand Exceeds Positions The Y. M. C. A. student employ ment bureau has received more appli cations for employment than there are positions to fill.

Seavey Declares Rumor of Cheating And Expulsion of Law Student False A rumor has been prevalent in the University of Nebraska that one of the Law students was discovered cheating in an examination and was expelled temporarily but readmitted. This rumor has been definitely as- crctaln'ed to be untrue. Dean Warren A. Seavoy thought the matter of sufficient importance to announce its untruth to nil the Law classes. He snid: "Tho rumor Ik wholly without foundation. It is im portant that it be denied, first, be cause it seriously harms the man concerned, and, secondly, because Jt is tho invariable policy of tho College to expel any person discovered cheat ing, and it harms the reputit'on of tho College to have it believed that it would harbor those who cheat.

KANSAS TAKES 25 TO 14 GAME FROM HUSKERS Nebraska Unable to Stop Juy hawk Rushes in First Period FIELD HOUSE DEDICATED Chancellor Samuel Avery and George E. Condra Talk; McMullen Tosses First Ball Nebraska's chances for a Missouri Valley basketball ' championship wero somewhat shattered Saturdav night when the Kansas Jayhawkers handed the Hunkers a 25 to 14 de feat in the oneninsr iramo In the new field house. It was tho Huskers' first loss in the conference. Kansas with a team of ranirv. rant passing players that were able to hit tho basket from anyvheje on the floor, ran wild the first h1f. count ing fourteen points while the Ne braska quintet had to bi satisfied with four. Nebraska staged a short rally dur ing tho opening minutes of the sec ond half that threatened for a time to overcome tho Kansas lead. Four baskets and a gift toss put Nebraska within three points of the Jayhawks. This was the only time in the game that the Huskers threatened. Peterson, Kansas center, was the outstanding player of the game. He did everything thnt a basketball play er is supposed to do, and was the pivot man in the Kansas offense. Although Eckstrom, Husker center, towered above Peterson in heighth, the Jayhawker alwftys got the tip-off. Gordon, flashy Kansas forward, was tho high point man of the game with eight counters to his credit. He ran Peterson a close race for indivi dual honors. Schmidt, the Jayhawks leading scorer and the leading player in the individual scoring column in the Missouri valley, was unable to add but one point to his season's to tal. He was so closely covered by Brown that he seldom was given an opportunity for a shot at the basket. Burton played the best defensive game for the victors, getting the ball off the Nebraska backboard on near ly every shot. Short dedication ceremonies were held before the opening of the game. Dr. George Condra opened the dedi cation with a short talk on the bene fits to be derived through the new Field House and stated that much of the honor for the building of the structure went to Chancellor Samuel Avery, whom he introduced to the five thousand spectators. Chancellor Avery spoke briefly and said that the new building was made possible through the co-oper-ntion of all of the people in the en tire state of Nebraska. The Chan cellor introduced Governor Adam McMullen who tossed the first ball of the game. To Gordon of Kansas went the honor of scoring the first basket in the new Nebraska field house. Eck strom made the first Nebraska coun ter when he made good a gift toss. Burton followed with a long shot from the center of the floor. For ten minutes the teams battled on even terms with Kansas leading four to one. The Huskers seemed to be unable to locate the basket on long shots, many times the ball would roll around the hoop and then drop to the outside. Belgard broke the scoreless period with a free throw and this seemed to be a signal for the Kansas offense. Peterson tipped the ball through the loop from beneath the basket and he followed with another from the cen ter of the floor. Eckstrom scored Nebraska's only, basket of the first period when he made a neat shot from the side. Belgard retaliated for Kansas by dropping one through from beneath the hoop and Zubep batted one in the air that went through. Eckstrom added one point to the Nebraska column by making good a free throw. Peterson ended the scoring of the half with another. Elliott started the scoring in the fi- (Continued on Page Four.) 1926 CORNHUSKER Assist.
