Field Artillery, and Major C. H.

Lincoln Saturday morning: to inspect
the local R. 0. T. C. unit for the
8nnual Blue Star rating.
"Whether they leave Lincoln next
Monday feeling that Nebraska is
deserving of the distinguished Blue
Star rating, lies entirely in the hands
of the Cadets. A failing on the part
of the cadets in school spirit and
loyalty will be the only factor which
might keep us from winning the cov
eted rating, which Nebraska has held
only twice in seventeen years,"
lUted Captain Foster of the military
department yesterday afternoon.

companies I and M will be excused

forty-five minutes is approximately
half of the Club's concert. A group
of four numbers by the club, a group
by the Varsity quartet, a trombone
solo by Charles Calhoun, and a solo
group by Prof. Herman T. Decker,
director of the club, are also in
cluded. The program will be con
cluded with "There is no Place Like
Nebraska." Mrs. Dean Decker will
accompany the club at the piano. A
silver offering will be taken.
The program is:
1. Now Let Every Tongue Adore
Thee Bach.
2. Prayer of Thanksgiving: Neth
erland Folk Song.
3. Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming
Praetorius.
4. Hallelujah Chorus (Mount of
Olives) Beethoven.

'Indian" Schulte Puts Athletics
High Up In A College Education
By Glenn Presnell
"Aw, I don't know 1" exclaimed
Coach Henry F. "Indian" Schulte
when I first asked him for an inter
view. I just laughed and walied
away hoping soon to find him in bet
ter humor. The next day as I waf
talking to him I causually asked him
if he believed athletics were of any
value in an education. Without hes
itstirs? he named several points in
favor of athletics in an education.
Coach Schulte, having been an
athlete himself, believes in athletics
for all. Every man who comes into
the stadium with good intentions is
given a track outfit and at once be
comes a candidate for the track team.

astic standing, lhe coacn says
his reason for this is to cause high
school athletes to become more in
terested in their school work so they
will be more able to shoulder the load
when they enter the university."
"Athletics make one self-reliant,"
said Coach Schulte. He went on to
explain how we must rely on our own
ability in aM athletic contests. This
we will carry over into our business
life. The minute we let up the other
fellow takes advantage of ua. So
we learn from -athletics to keep plug
ging and not let up.

Students Must Strip Cars of Slogans
At Once is Order of Chief or Police
A windshield is no place for funny
"cracks" of decoration in any form.
Neither is a side or rear window, ac
cording to Chief of Police Peter
Pohnstone. So it is that humorous
jems and. worthy slogans alike must
be ruthlessly scraped and peeled from
student motors at once, or owners
will be liable to penalty, of from one
to one hundred dollars.
The chief's statement is backed by
section number 48 1-2, which states:
"No motor vehicle shall have
anv winter, itfw, picture, or- ad
vertising material on windshield
or giass of either side or rear
window thereof." Any violators

High in Group Two
Lincoln is over-flowing this morn

letes who are eagerly awaiting the
first crack of the starter's gun which
will open the twenty-fifth annual
track and field meet of the Ne
braska High School Athletic associa
tion at two o'clock this afternoon in
Nebraska Memorial stadium.
The greatest meet in the history of
state high school athletics is promised
by a record entry list of ninety-one
schools and by the exceptional marks
which have been made at the various
out-state meets in spite of the poor
track weather which has been prev
alent this spring. Old grudges can
be settled without any alibis when
the men meet on the stadium track
which is in perfect condition giving
promise of some fast times being
hung up.
Preliminaries Start at 2 O'clock
Preliminary heats in the 120 high
hurdles will open the meet at two
o'clock this afternoon. Preliminaries
in the hurdles, dashes, and field
events will be held. The finals in
all events will be run off starting at
two o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Grand Island, champion of the last
two years, will have a hard time to
repeat against the fast Lincoln high
tracksters who beat them out at
Hastings last week. Although Lin
coln won from the Islanders by a safe
margin at the Hastings meetthe
points will have to be shared with so
many other schpols in this meet that
Grand Island may easily ring up
enough to reconquer their old rivals.
The stinging defeat given them in
football last fall by Grand Island will
serve to heighten the Interest in the
battle between these two favorites
for state honors.
In class II Crete has a vision of
