    TRACK SEASON
OPENS FEB. 12
Indoor Meet Scheduled For
Combined State School
For Next Month
EXPECT TO SEAT 2,000
Track and field stars from the
Nebraska state college conference
will meet tho University of Nebraska
squad in the opening meet of the
season, Saturday February 12, on the
indoor track underneath the stadium.
Negotiations for the meet have been
carried on for over a week and it
was finally scheduled Tuesday by
Coach Henry F. Schulte.
This meet will open the season for
the Huskers a week earlier than was
originally plunned. The season was
to have been opened with tho annual
Kansas City Athletic Club's indoor
meet which comes February 19.
Representatives of all the colleges
in the state conference are expected
to bo on hand for this meet to pit
thoir combined strength against that
of Coach Shulte's Cornhuskers. The
ntnte colletre conference includes Ne
braska Wesleyan, Cotner, Doane,
Hustings, Grand Island, Midland,
York and Peru Normal.
rians nre now being laid for seat
ing arrangements. It is thought that
by judicious arrangement of bleach
ers, two thousand people can be seat
ed so that they can watch the pro
gress of tho meet. This is the first
attempt ever made by Nebras-ka to
hold an indoor meet. Until two years
ago, the University didn't even have
a place for indoor practice.
Nebraska's indoor schedule is now
complete. Opening with this meet
against the teams of the state college
conference on February 12, the
Cornhuskers will participate in the
K. C. A. C. indoor games, the Il
linois indoor relays, and the Mis
souri Valley conference indoor meet.

Students of Two Eastern Colleges
. Resent Curtailment of Athletics
Student resentment against facul
ty curtailmont of athletics evidenced
Itself recentlv in violont fashion at
two Eastern institutions whoro tho
undergraduate bodies gave vent to
their feelings in bitter demonstra
tions against the authorities. These
colleges were West Virginia Wesle
yan and St. John's Collcgo at An
napolis. The affair at West Virginia Wes
leyan was the outgrowth of a letter
sent to the alumni last month by
President Homer E. Wark of the in
stitution. In this letter Dr. Wark
said that football at his university
was being commercialized and "the
players have been receiving pay in
the form of tuition, fees, books,
rooms and board. This has amounted
to nearly $500 per man this year."
At Tuesday's chapel services at
the University Dr. Wark was hissed
by the students and rumors were
prevalent on the campus that the un
dergraduate body might resort to a
versity five is making a name for
himself at the Jayhawker school. He
is Carmen Newland of Newton, Kan
sas who played with tho Hillyard
National A. A. U. champions two
years ago. Although Newland is not
classed as a regular, he has played
in every gamo this season at the for
ward position.
Athletic authorities are endeavor
ing to get a dual track meet with
Arizona University or the University
of New Mexico to be held at Tuscon
or Albequerque. The meet will be
held as a stopover when the track
squad journeys to California to meet
the University of California this
spring.
Spurred by defeat Saturday night
at the hands of the Ame3 quintet,
12 to 15, the University of Kansas
basketball squad renewed practice
this week for the second home game
of the season, with Nebraska at Lnw
rence tonight.
The game tonight will mark the
49th time that Kansas and Nebraska
have met on the basketball court.
Out of the 48 games played the
Cornhuskers won 19, the Kansas five
29. Although Nebraska has not
beaten the Jayhawkers since 1919
the Scarlet and Cream quintet will
be out for vengeance tonight when
they meet Coach "Phog" Allen's
basketballers at Robinson gymnas
ium, and will try and make it two in
a row for the Kansas team.

THE
general strike as a protest to Dr.
Wark's proposal to restrict aftilotlcs
in order to provido funds for a new
chair of theology.
Although tho president took no di
rect notico of tho chapel demonstra
tion, ho announced a special chapel
session to discuss in detail the rea
sons which guided tho board of trus
tees and himself In deciding to cur
tail athletics. Some persons close to
the situation hoped this would quiet
in a largo measure criticism of the
president's policies. All students were
ordered to attend tho special session
or suffer a reduction in their grades.
Tho affair at St. John's was also
the outgrowth of friction between
faculty and students in regard to
athletics. According to tho com
nlaint of the students. Dean Walter
R. Agard had set a high standard of
studies and required athletes to keep
ud in their work. Tho undergrad
uates maintained thot athletics could
not interfere -w. ith this standard.
three teams remain in the undefeated
class. They aro the Oklahoma, Mis
souri and Kansas Aggio fives. They
all play conference standing games
this week, so it appears that the dope
column may take on a different hue
after tho thuds have died from the
basketball courts in tho Valley this
week.
After the windup last week the
conference standing was in a mud
dle, but fans of the winter pastime
are expecting a grave change this
weekend. Tho strength of the teams
are now definitely known, and Iowa
State holds the center of light at the
present. The Cyclones meet the un
defeated Sooners at Norman and pro
dictions are that it will be a real
battle.

o'clock. Ten men made the trip.

Forty-three freshmen in the R. O.

HUSKERS BREAK
CAMP FOR GAME
WITH JAYHAWKS
Ten Men Make Tripj Dlack
Expect Hard Game
With Champions
JAYHAWKS ON EDGE
Nebraska meets Kansas this eve
ning on tho Lawrence court in what
promises to be one of the hardest
games of the Husker basketball
schedule. Ten players composed the
squad which left Lincoln last night
with a firm determination to break
tho "Kansas Jinx" which has so suc
cessfully knocked tho props from tho,
Husker aspirations for Valley hon
ors during the past few years.
The ten making tho trip are Cap
tain Smaha, Othmer, Klepscr, Brown,
forwards; Page, Elliot, centers; An
dreson, Holm, Gerclick, and Lawson
guards. An infected too kept Olson
from making the journey.
Both Teams Keyed Up
Both teams aro being keyed for
the tussle. The Kansas Jayhawkors,
smarting under tho defeat handed
them by the Ames quintet last Sat
urday night, will enter the fray with
many pointed suggestions by Coach
Allen fresh in their minds. The gen
eral opinion is that the Iowa set
back will make the Kansas aggrega
tion a harder squad to defeat. There
is also some talk that the Jayhawk
team has not yet reached tip-top
form. Coach Black has been send
ing the Huskers through lengthy
practice periods in preparation for
this evening.
With the squad still showing a
few effects from the victorious two
game journey through Missouri,
Coach Black has not stressed heavy
scrimmages this week. After drill
ing for some time on the short pnss
and free attempts at the goal, the
rest of the period was spent in sig
nal practice, with Smaha and Othmer
as forwards; Page, center; Gerelick,
and Andreson, guards. Brown, Klep
ser, and Elliot alternated in the
drill. Holm, who arrived late, re
placed Gerelick for a short practice
on the tip off plays.
The line-up which will start against
the Valley champions tonight will
probably be Smaha and Othmer at
the forward positions, Page at center,
and Holm and Andreson at guards.
Othmcr's injured ankle seemed in
good shape at the workout yester
day afternoon.
