Coach Analyzes Reasons for
Nebraska's Loss in
Track Meet.
BAUSCH IS OUTSTANDING
Coach Henry Schulte pokc at
the regular noon meeting of the
Junior Chamber of Comm;.-ce to
day on track as a sport and gave
reasons why Nebraska failed to
take the conference meet last Sat
urday. Ray Ramsay, secretary of
the Nebraska alumni association.
acted as master of ceremonies.
"The other team was Just a lit
tle bit stronger than we were,"
was Schulte's only alibi tor not
winning the conference track
championship. He said he was glad
to have been able to score a man
in every event.
Psychology Play Part
"A team that is focused upon
the idea of winning was his an
swer to the question of what it
takes to make a winning team. He
explained that the psychological
element of the contestant should
nol be one of a strained mental at
titude. Remarking on the performance
of some ot the outstanding men
of the meet be first presented
Cobe Thompson, winner of the
broad jump and Nebraska's only
clear first, who was among those
present.
Schulte Lauds Bausch
Jim Hansen should have beaten
Rhea as he did in Schulte's opin
ion, with the years of track expe
rience he has had. In fact, Schuitc
gave Bausch the credit for Kansas'
victory over Nebraska. He lauded:
Bausch by saying that he is prob
ably one of the best all-rounJ Htn
lctes in the field today.
The reason for Lamson failing to
beat Hae-er. in spite of Lamson's
getting started a little poorly, was
that Hagcr was Just a little taster
than Lamson. Schulte offered the
same alibi for Nebraska's not win
ning the low hurdles, saying that
in each case Nebraska's men were
faster than they had ever been be
fore. Ostcrgard Does Well.
The coach fc-ive Ostcrgard due
credit in the half mile for doing as
well as he did against Swartz of
Missouri, stating that Swartz had
a highly developed sense of pace
that makes the rast cnsiance man
and that Ostcrgard has not yet de
velooed that sense.
He concluded nis tain ny saying
that a person should enjoy watch
ing a track meet, nol only oecause
of the speed of the man but be
cause of the neauty ana rnymra

Ball asFeb. 7.
Although no change was made,
the Interfraternity council, by a
vote of 27 to 5. Tuesday night,
showed that It was in favor of the
proposed change In the method of
presenting the scholarship plac
ques. The majority of the coun
cil held to the belief that the new
system would tend to raise the
general average of the university.
Dean W. C. Harper, who was
present at the meeting stated that
the fraternity average has taken
a marked slump in the past two
semesters.
Heretofore the scholarship
awards have been made upon a
delinquency basis, that Is. they are
awarded to the fraternities with
the least number of hours failed.
UndeP this plan the averages were
not counted, the delinquent hour
against the house being the only
basis for compiling the list for the
awards.

Students L usually
'Fail in University
Pupils who have poor records in
high school are likely to fail in
university, although there are al
ways exceptions to the general
rule, comments C. A. Smith, secre
tary of the faculty at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin.
For nine years Mr. Smith has
followed closely the work of stu
dents wbo are admitted to the
freshman class on probation.
Out of 144 students who entered
on probation last fall. 66 are en
rolled in the second semester. Of
those who dropped out, 59 were
dropped by faculty action on ac
count of poor scholarship, 16 with
drew before completing the semes
ter, and one took the advice to
withdraw.
Only thirty-one made grades
high enough to escape faculty ac
tion at tbe end of the semester,
and 21 made as many grade points
as credits. One of the students,
however, made twice as many
grade points as credits, and four
others made more than one and a
half grade points per crediL The
