they will open the outdoor track sea

John Jacob's powerful Sooner cin

Coach Schulte desired to meet the

so that his meil might have an ex

against the Missouri Tigers at Col

could not come to an agreement.
As a result the Husker mentor is
forced to take a larger team on the
spring vacation southern campaign
so that some of the men will not be
overworked in the meet at Norman
and be weakened for the Tiger con
test.
Since he will take a large squad
of probably twenty-two or twenty-

Instructor of Sealock
Frank B. Willis, late senator of
Ohio, was the mathematics instructor
of Dean W. E. Sealock of the Teach
ers College when the latter was at
tending preparatory school at Ada,
Ohio, according to the dean.
Senator Willis and Dean Sealock

letters during the last few years. ' In
1925 Dean Sealock wrote him, "A
large number of us are looking for
ward to the time when we will vote
for Frank B. Willis for president."
The political career of Willis was
exemplified by many of the charac
teristics hs had shown as a teacher,
Dean Sealock said. "His democratic
attitude and interest in people was
one of the dominant distinctions of
his character."
