WEIR WINS HURDLE RACE
The cold weather hns driven the
track squad back into the stadium to
carry on iU work. This fact has not
caused any let-up in the preparation
for the outdoor season. The men are
working in all the events just as if
they were out of doors.
The hurdles have been measured
off to outdoor lenprth and the dis
tance under the stadium allows the
men to run three hurdles. It is a
great factor in hurdling to get per
fect step and this is what the hur
dle men are working on. In races

Krause. Weir was the winner with
the time of 6.3 but he was closely fol
lowed by Dailey.
Triatifular Meet Very Satisfactory
The lntUr part of the evening was
spent in passing the baton. If this
can be mastered the relay team
should come close to worlds' records
this spring. The men doing the pas
sing were Vyatt,Dailcy, Beerkle and
Stephens.
The triangular meet between Red,
White and Blue teams was very satis
fying to Coach Schulte and another
meet is planned for April 9. Men
who have not yet been assigned to
teams and have won points toward a
numeral are requested to report to
one of the teams.
Pawnee and Sioux Indians Staged
Conflicts On Plains of Nebraska
Never again will Nebraska prairies
see the useless feud of red men
fighting each other for tho buffalo
hunting ground. To the historian,
the novelist, the poet, the dramatist,
belong those years of romance and
mystery. All too soon tho last eye
that saw them will be closed, the last
witness which told their tale will be
silent.
A story of the last great conflict
between the two most powerful Ne
braska tribes who one made their
home on these plains the Tawnee
and the Sioux is given in "Nebras
ka History and Record ow Pioneer
Days."
In the early morning of August
5, 1ST3, the Pawnee nation broke
camp on the Republican river, a few
miles west of where Trenton now
stands, and started on its last day's
French descent, married to a Sioux
squaw, and commissioned in the same
maner as Williamson to conduct the
Sioux buffalo hunt and keep the
peace.
Williamson tied a handkerchief at
the end of a pole, raised it and rode
out to stop tho Sioux, hoping that
the U. S. commission which he held
could effecct this. A shower of ar
rows and bullets from the encircling
warriors showed how vain his hope
was. Sky Chief had, before the on
set of the Sioux, dashed off in pur
suit of a buffalo to a ravine far to
the northeast. There he was killed
and scalped without tho knowledge of
the desperate situation of his people.
On either flank the Sioux warriors
were rapidly advancing to envelop
the Pawnee. Below, in the fork of
the canyon, the Pawnee women were

CAGE PRACTICE
Basketball Squad of About Seven
teea Out Last Evenings Will
Hold O"- More Practice
The third spring basketball prac
tice was held Tuesday evening at sev
en thirty o'clock with a squad of
about seventeen appearing for prac
tice. Thursday at seven thirty, the
last spring practice this year will be
held.
The first part of the practice was
spent trying long shots while being
guarded. Coach Black showed the
ways to pivot around an opponent.
and worked with the men in practic
ing the art of pivoting. Coach
Black explained that the turn-in,
made while pivoting, also acts as de
fense. If the ball-throwing and pivot
ing is done accurately it seems pos
sible to get by any guard.
A practice game was called for the
last part of the period. Coach Black
picked his teams as follows: Elliott,
Gerelick-, Krall, Gohde and Smaha
composed one team, and NorKng;
Olson, Kohler, Higgins and Roth
made up the second team. Smaha
and his team proved to be good and
they tossed in some pretty baskets.
Towards the end of the practice,
Newman, former Hastings coach,
Voltz, a former Nebraska star, and
Coach Black went into the game.
Substitutions were made so that each
man had a taste of scrimmage. The
team composed of Smaha, Elliott,
Gerelick, Krall and the substitutions
did not fare so well against the all-
star aggregation. Coach Black took
the ball down the floor many times
to toss in a basket.
The new men out for practice to
night were Othmer, Krall, Paulsen,
Bnrkhart, and Gerelick. The others
were Norling, Elliott, Roth, Higgins,
Olson, Gohde, Smaha, Kahler, Arms
trong, Grace.

warriors spied them and checked the
pursuit.
As the mob of Pawnees poured out
of the mouth of Massacre Canyon
into the broad valley of the Republi
can the Sioux rounded up several
hundred loose Tawnee ponies and
vanished with them over the hills to
the north.. The army officers urged
that the remaining Tawnees return
to the battlefield under cavalry es
cort and retake the abandoned food'
and equipage. To this they would
not listen. They said the food would
be poisoned and the equipage des
troyed. The Pawnee nation suffered in this
battle the most terrible defeat by
the Sioux in its tribal history. One
hundred and fifty-six had perished.

There were three hundred war
riors, four hundred women and chil
dren, twelve hundred ponies, and a
thousand dogs, in the camp. Already
their ponies were well-loaded with
dried buffalo and robes from their
successful hunts. In the Pawnee
camp there were also two white men.
One was a young man from the east
who had begged to go on the hunt,
and the other was John W. William
son of Genoa who bore the written
authority of the United States to
conduct the Pawnees on their hunt,
and to preserve peace.
The day before, three white men
had come to the camp, and told Mr.
Williamson that Sinux warriors had
been watching the Pawnee for sever
al days and that a large party of
them were camped close by on the
Frenchman. Sky Chief, leader of
the Pawnee, answered "the White

No chanted prayer to Tirawa

loose from their ponies the disas

Some, warriors and women, refused
to fly. They sought refuge in deep
holes dug by the flood torrents in

The effect of Omaha's withdrawal

the action may cause officials to

Oake Present At Talk
While the coach would have liked
to have had scrimmage, he welcomed
the opportunity "to make the men
football wise." He stated that even
if t.ViB weather continues to be dis
agreeable, there will be plenty of
learning that can be absorbed by the
aspirants. Coach B. S. Oakes from
the University of Tennessee, who
may be a line coach here next fall,
and who is helping Coach Bearg
temporarily, was present at the chalk
talk.
The practice today, if the weath
er permits, will probably be a good
stiff one, as the men will have to
get prepared for the game this week
in a much shorter time than was ex
pected. The game will be held on
Friday. The squad has been divided
into two sections, the Reds and the
Whites, and they are both anxious
to carry off the honors in tho battlo.
