Carnival Cracks
Sputtered by
"Bill" McCleery
Nebraska, students participate in
the Husker Intramural Carnival this
evening. Everything is set for the
opening whistle. The "N" Club and
the Athletic Department have plan
ned a mixture of snappy athletics
and entertainment features.
The first act begins at 7 o'clock.
The Kappa Sigmas clash with Sigma
Phi Epsilon in the class A interfra
ternitv basketball championship. Per
sons enjoying intermissions and long
waits will not enjoy the Carnival. It
will rush along with activities jump
ing from one part of the floor to an
other. "Indian" Schulte and "Jimmy"
Lewis have arranged things in the
Coliseum. They have moved, with a
little janitorial aid, one section of
the bleachers. That part of the floor
has been laid out in a track. Twelve
laps around this indoor track make
a miie. A mile is a mile anywnere
you find it.
If you care for relays you will en
joy the Carnival. If you don't care
for relays you will enjoy the affair
anyway. "Jimmy" tells us of a little
inter-sorority competition. Have you
ever seen a "Thread and Needle Re-
lav?" Don't miss it. Presnell is
running for the Phi Mu's. Or should
we say "with."
Some of us never get enough of
Bathing Beauty contests. Have
you been looking around? So have
we, and we are looking forward to
seeing Ray Randel's beach babies."
Clogging? Bud McBride is fixing
up a little clogging contest. Can
you clog dance? Neither can we,
but Bud promises some experts.
"They're off!" or at least they
will be when the Cornhusker Derby
begins. No betting on the hosses,

LINE-UP NOT YET DECIDED
Ene-acincr in their eighth game of
the season, the Cornhusker basket

Charley Black can determine at pres

"Jug" Brown and "Dutch" Witte,

Elmer Holm and "Lew" Lewandow

Another spirited scrimmage witn
the yearling hoopsters showed the
Varsity as being in prime condition
for the week-end tustle with the
Stillwater Farmers. Making their
shots count and working the ball
through the freshman defense at
will, the Varsity men rolled up a
big margin in points during the reg
ular practice drill Thursday.
Munn Look Good
Glen Munn is looking increasingly
good at the pivot position. The
1nnrated Idaho center is showing
special ebility at sinking the follow-
in shots and fits in good with his
team mates in getting the ball down
the court. By next year, high scor

COL ROOSEVELT
SPEAKS BEFORE
LARGE AUDIENCE
He Attacks American Political
And Social Methods at
Large Convocation
LAUDS MILITARY UNIT
Son of "Teddy" Has Many
Characteristics of His
Famous Parent
"It is time for America to drop its
'doughnutty' attitude, and go for
ward again, for if a country loses its
ideals, it loses its soul," Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt Jr., war veteran,
legislator, politician, and famed
speaker, expounded this idea in his
plea for Americanism before 1S00
University students in Convocation
yesterday.
Colonel Roosevelt has a forceful
hearty personality, with the craving
for action and the sparkling sense r
humor that characterized bis vtus
trious father "Teddy."
The sDeaker gave the Impression
that the characteristic idealism and
spiritualism has not been as strong
since the World war. The spirit of
unselfishness so noticeable in the ac
tion of the United States during the
war days, has taken a slump.
Cites Lindbergh
Mr. Roosevelt expressed the strong
hope that America realize that she
will be instrumental in rebuilding the
world, and produce more men like
Col. Lindbergh whom he thought was
"a splendid example of the atrophied

At the opening of school in the fall

enthusiasm is worked up over the in

University Museum Receives Iowa
Fossil Corals
Dr. A. L. Luga had presented the
University museum with a small col

corals consisting of about a dozen
different species in all. Four or
five are rare and only recently de

The collection was made near

This locality is famous as a collect

rare forms being found there only,
and other corals almost equally rare

Roosevelt Expresses Approval of
Nebraska Track
By Kate Arlene Goldstein
The "chfp off the old block" drew
to him yesterday many friends and
ardent admirers, duly impressed by
the inspning personality, frankness,
enthusiasm, sincerity ard humour
radiated by Colonel Theodore Roo
sevelt, Junior.
"I was watching the track meet
today. Out here you develop the
largest number of track men devel
oped in a single sport. Your Locke
and Elkins should place in New
York," he remarked, explaining with
the broad "Roosevelt grin" that since
he was an official of tho A. A. U.
and on the National Olympian Com
mittee it was not wise that he even
think of favorites. "I am much im
pressed with the spirit of track here,"
he continued. "I've known of your
track achievements and lienors for
a long time. And I've known of
your coach. He's one of the best
in the United States."
Congratulates R. O. T. C.
"I congratulate Nebraska's R. O.
T. C. again. Of course it should and
must stay," was the forceful reply to
a question concerning the abolish
ment of the R. O. T. C. Such an
answer . was expected, of course,
from young "Teddy" who was
wounded twice and who possesses
ice.

System and Coach
The representative of the "Army
family" chuckled audibly when he
was asked for an opinion regarding
women smoking. "That's one of the
subjects of which I keep my opinions
to myself. It's a bit of a thing I
don't talk of. . If I did, people
would think me silly," and with a
note of deliberation he laughingly
added, "We should leave that to wo
men, of course. This isn't for pub
lication now (and the knowing twin
kle in the eye was reassuring). Why
shouldn't a woman smoke if she en
joys it."
Colonel Roosvclt is the author of
"East of the Sun and West of the
Moon" and "The Average Amer
icans." His newest book is now
ready for publication, dealing' with
a cross section of the men who lived
through the world war, "each one a
hero" remarked the Colonel vigor
ously. "Nebraska's a great state. I feel
as strongly about Nebraska as my
beloved John Maher," and the un

the world affords" showed that al
