The annual Nebraska high school
home course relays will be run be
tween April 3 and 17 this year. The
relay team making the best time in
each event will be entered in the
Drake University Relays held April
23 and 24. E. H. Long of the College
Book Store will pay the expenses for
the round trip to Des Moines for the

Coach Henry F. Schulte is the man
responsible for the interest in track
in Nebraska. The home course re
lays, the state numeral roll, the bet
ter state meets, were all started by
the Nebraska track coach.
The home course relays are run at
the home grounds of each team. High
schools that have no cinder or dirt
track may measure the proper dis
tances on a level dirt road and run
there. If the relays are not run on a'
standard track the coaches are urged
by Coach Schulte to be absolutely
accurate in measuring the distances.
Advise Accurate Timing.
High school coaches should pick
the best possible days to hold the
races. It is suggested that the
events be run on several different
days. The best time made is the one
sent in. In order to insure accurate
timing three competent timers should
be secured for each race.
The results of the relays will be
sent to Coach Schulte on April 15.
The first, second, and third place'
teams will be announced in each re-,
lay. The first three teams in each
relay will be entered in the Drake

OMAHA HIGHS
DROP STATE
BASKET MEET
Five Schools Will Not Enter
1927 Tournament; Blame
"Immoral Conduct"
SURPRISE TO UNIVERSITY
John K. Selleck Astounded; Says
Next Year's Tournament Will
Not Be Affected
The five Omaha public high schools
will not enter teams in the 1927
state basketball tournament accord
ing to a resolution passed by the
principals of the schools and the Om
aha public schools recreation direr
tor, Ira Jones, Saturday morning.
The reason for this action was the
"social situation connected with the
tournament," according to the reso
lution. "Immoral conduct" on the
part of some high school students
is being charged by high school auth
orities, according to word which
reached Lincoln.
The news of the withdrawal of
the Omaha teams came as a complete
surprise to University athletic of
ficials, according to John K. Selleck,
business agent for athletics. Herb
ert Gish, acting athletic director, was
in Manhattan, Kans., Saturday night.
Mr. Selleck said that he was sure
that Mr. Gish had not heard of the
matter.
The following is the resolution:
WHEREAS, the social situation
connected with the State Basket
ball Tournament has become un
wieldy, involving problems be
yond the control of our high
schools,
THEREFOR, be it resolved
that the Omaha public schools
hereby declare their intentions
of entering no teams in the 1927
State Basketball Tournament.
In taking this action, the Om
aha public high schools expressly
wish to state their intentions to
maintain their membership in
the Nebraska State High School
Athletic Association. The pub
lic school authorities wish to ex
press their friendly attitude to
ward an ajfpreciation - of -the -splendid
efforts for athletics on
the part of the University of
Nebraska and the State Athletic
Association.

Omaha High School.

Mary McNamare, Principal
Benson High School.
Ira Jones, Public School Re
creation Director.
"This action will not affect next
year's tournament in any way, as far
as I know," said Mr. Selleck Satur
day night. "It is too bad and we re
gret it."
The action of the principals will
not affect the coming state high
school track meet, it was learned on
Saturday night. This would indicate
that high school students have con
ducted themselves properly while at
tending the latter contests.
No specific instances of improper
conduct on the part of the students
were given by the high school offi
cials. "This last tournament was the
cleanest and most orderly one we
have had in our sixteen years of
conducting tournaments," laid Mr.
Selleck. Local hotel managers said
they had no unusual complaints dur
ing the three days of the tournament.
