Farm House and Kappa Sigma
Are Contender for Laurels
In Sport Program
Champions of the intramural sports
for 1928 may be settled next week
with the annual outdoor track and
field meet scheduled to be run off
Tuesday. Farm House and Kappa
Sigma, present leaders In the race will
be in the field with strone teams and
if either should capture the major
event, they will be strong favorites
for the year's laurels.
With the baseball, tennis and bowl
ing tourneys yet to be played how
ever, the chance for a dark horse
looms brightly. Several fraternities
are in a clos race for third position
in the present standings and victories
in one of the two major tournaments
yet unplayed would put the leaders
in a three cornered race for suprem
acy. Ornamented plaques, which will be
given to tourney winners in place of
the skins awarded in former years,
have been received by director James
C. Lewis and will be awarded soon.
The trophy for the intramural cham
pion has also arrived and will be a
warded as soon as the winner is defi
nitely settled.
The baseball tournament will start
the first of the week, games being
played on the six municipal diamonds
leased from the city. Because of
the late start, games will be run off
rapidly and all fraternities entered
will relieve the situation if they re
port for their games at the time
scheduled. A failure to appear will
be counted as a forfeit.

The Missouri Valley baseball race
is under way and the Oklahoma Ag
gies are leading the pack with four
victories and two defeats for a total
percentage of .666. Missouri follows
with one won and one lost. Kansas,
Iowa State and the Kansas Aggies
have not had a chance as yet to dem
onstrate what kind of a sand lot ag
gregation they have because of bad
weather conditions causing postpone
ment of games.
The Washington University track
and field team scored an overwhelm
ing victory over the University of
Arkansas, beating the Razorbacks 83
1-3 to 47 2-3. The Bears took eleven
of the fifteen first places, being su
perior in all events except the dis
tance runs, low hurdles and the jave
lin throw. Times and distances made
were fairly good considering the
strong wind and cold weather.
"Abe" Wright, Oklahoma Aggie
basketball star does not devote all his
time to dropping the sphere through
the hoop. Wright is one of the Ag
gie pitching aces and relieved Robin
son the mound when the Aggies were
two runs behind in the Washington
game. "Abe" pitched the Aggies out
of the hole and the game was won by
the southern team, giving them both
games in the double header.
Several University of Nebraska
notables will be present for the ban
quet and! letter awards for the Cres
ham high school cagers on April 25.
Among those who will be present are
Coach Henry "Indian" Schulte, Herb
Gish, Glen Presnell and Blue Howell.
Husker Fighter Thinks
Luck Omens Important
In Scoring Knockouts
Superstitions are prevalent among
the ideas of many people even col
lege students. Curtis Poet, a Ne
braska boxer, who woq the Mid
Western A. A. U. championships of
the 147-pound class this year is a
notable example.
"Curty" left Lincoln Wednesday
morning for Boston to determine
whether he will get to participate in
the Olympics at New Amsterdam,
Holland, next summer or not, and
his superstitions will have much to
do with his success.
"Curty" is always near the ring
to grab the gloves of the winner of
the preceding fight. Some of his fol
lowers say that he will not don the
gloves of the loser under such cir
cumstances. After "Curty" has as
surance that he has the winner's
gloves cinched, he claims the corner
that the winner had. All of these
details are of great importance.
A friend once asked him to call
someone whose number was M-1323.
"Curty" politely refused because he
considers "23" as unlucky as "13"
and besides "M" is the thirteenth
letter of the alphabet.
"Curty" has had seventeen fights
and he has won all of them but one
the thirteenth. It was a draw. During
the fight many of his friends were
shouting for him to show some more
"zip" but all efforts utterly failed.
"You never expected me to win
my thirteenth fight, did you?" he
queried after the fight, just as though
he considered himself quite lucky
by getting a draw.

Murphy, Al Abbott and Maude Har
low. These stars from the last show
to "play the Playhouse" will present
new lines with their well-known abil
ity. Zolley Lerner is "Mazie,"
George Gesman "Al" and Paul Mor

The entire University of Nebraska

port of Kosmet Klub in their attempt
to pay back loss from the Playhouse
fire last Saturday night. This was
expressed through the University
Student Council which passed a reso

tude and spirit and pledging support
to the "Midnight Revue."

Frofessor Gass continues to say
that fate has been playing the jest
with the novel as a pawn. The novel,
which, for centuries has expressed
man's feelings and mirrored his beT
liefs' is failing. He goes on to say
that "one after one the things that
gave me my old delight in it have
been banned, till it has come to pass
that the acclaim of a new novel or a
new novelist is sufficient to prove
that it or her, or perhaps especially
she is not for me."
Gayety Has Gone
According to Professor Gass the
old gayety that made the novel at
tractive ha3 gone. The fundamental
things which were enjoyed in the old
novel have been "one by one pitched
overboard." The supply of art at the
command of present authors has
fallen down and the novel and past
novels, and the relative ability of
their authors.
Professor Gass discusses the trend
of modern consciousness and the rela
tion between science and literature.
His entire article is closelv knit to

Dr. Pool urges a program of cor

World Laughs and
When Typesetter's
It's all very well for other human
beings to make occasional mistakes,
but only an editor, printer, or even
a struggling Journalism student
knows the furore that can be excited
when an innocent finger slips to
the wrong key of a typewriter or
linotype. The following elaboration
of this subject by a Louisaina student
appeared in a New Orleans student
publication: (
A musician can m(ss a note; an
actor can muddle a line of Shakes
peare; a waiter can bring beans
baked a la New York style to a Bos
tonian; a tailor can press the cuffs
of your trousers the v.rong way. Such
mistakes can pass and do no great
harm, but let an author or an editor
or a printer make a slip or a blunder
and once in print it may have an ex
traordinary life. The list of typo
graphical rrors is endless and their
variations, likes changes in New Or
leans weather, are many, which af
fords a few lots of innocent merri
ment. And not always so innocent1.
Bible Suffers
The Bible, doubtless because of
its numerous editions, seems to have
suffered more frequently than any
other book. There is the famous
Vinegar Bible, which takes its nick
name from the title of the twentieth
chapter of St. Luke's Gospel, where
it reads "The Parable of the Vine
yard." The so-called Wicked Bible
was one of the worst blunders in lit
erature; the commandment was
printed with the word "NOT" om
mitted! This cost the printers a
three-hundred pound fine by King
Charles I Six copies are known to
have escaped. One copy is now in
the London Museum; another is in
the University Library at Glasgow,
and the other four are secluded in
private libraries where they cannot
spread their wanton gospel!
Some words are common misprints.
A London newspaper recently pub
lished a want-ad, most likely to at
tract the bachelors of the city; it
read: "For Rent: One Room with
Large Widow." A compositor left
out a single letter and the world read
of "the immoral works of Milton.''
Immortal is constantly in similar
humorous difficulties. Recently a
New York Herald-Tribune compositor
made Grantland Rice say of the foot
ball players, "Scott nad Fishwick
must, take places among the im-
morals on the blue scroll."
"Battle-Scarred"
The classical example of these
newspaper errors is told by Soloman
Eagle, about a colonel who had
fought in the Civil War. He was
described as a "battle-scared veter-

an." This sudden amputation of his
courage brought him to the news
paper office quicker than Mercury
with his winged feet could have made
the distance. The abusive misprint
crept in and the colonel was called
a "bottle-scarred veteran!"
Sigmuud Spaeth speaking of
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, re
scribed the motif as being "like Fate
knocking at the door." The news
papers the next day quoted him as
saying: "Like Kate knocking at the
door."
Anyone who has ever been in a
composing room can understand how
a letter can be transposed, but the
Ithica Journal was really doing a
little too much when they printed:
"Mr. Jones appeared at a fancy dress
ball dressed in the garbage of a
knight."
Mistakes, lots of times, get the
best of editors. Bret Harte told of
a fearful slip on a New York news
paper recently when a prominent wo
man died. Before her, unfortunate
death, the deceased had been giving
much of her time and money to chari
ty. The proof of the announcement
of her death said: "She was distin
guished among the ladies of this city
for her chastity." The proofreader
thinking something wrong, merely
put a question mark abve the doubt
ful word "chastity." The next day
the paper came out with this: "She
was distinguished among the ladies
of this city for her chastity?" Two
lost their jobs that day!
Sometime Accidental
The accidental joining of one word
to another sometimes has awkward
results as in the case of the young
ladys described as "without stretched
arms."
A most amusing change of poetic
fancy took place in a poem by Roger
Loomis, assistant professor of Eng
lish at Columbia. When he was a
student at Williams College he wrote
a poem about "a fleet-footed god
dess," which appeared in the Wil
liam's Review as a "flat-footed god
dess." There was a headline in the St.
