Swimming, Track Meets Awarded
CONFERENCE HEADS
CUT MINOR SPORTS
Round Robin Baseball, Tennis and Track Eliminated
At Kansas City Meeting of Big Six Athletic
Directors; First Track Meet May 21.
BASKETBALL UNCHANGED
Hoop and Grid Sports Only
Ones Not Affected by
Reduction Plan.
Big Six swimming: and track
meets were awarded to the Uni
versity of Nebraska at the meeting-
of the directors and faculty
representatives of the conference
held In Kansas City Monday and
Tuesday. The Indoor track meet
was awarded to Missouri.
Mav 21 was scheduled as the
date for the track meet while
the new swimming pool at Ne
braska will be the scene of the
conference meet on March 5.
Directors continued their policy
of curtailment of minor sports pro
grams Tuesday and adjuorned with
the intention of finding new ways
locally to reduce expenditures as
far as possible.
Only two sports, football and
basketball, were not affected by
the slicing of schedules and ex
penses. It is expected, however,
that fewer officials will be used in
these sports. Football and basket
ball are the only two activities
that pay for themselves, and a de
crease of 20 percent in football re
ceipts was responsible for the
action of the directors in consider
ing cuts in other games.
Round Robin Play Eliminated.
The faculty council approved the
recommendation of the directors
that round robin schedules in ten
nis, baseball and track be elimi
nated together with the discon
tinuance of the policy of award
ing medals in track events. It is
expected that the action against
the medals will save from $1,500
to $2,000 annually.
Only two competitors will be al
lowed in each event at the indoor
track meet at Missouri while the
events will be limited to three
from each school in the outdoor
meet at Lincoln. This is a saving
on expenses besides eliminating
any advantage of a larger number
of competitors by the host school.
Dr. F. C. Allen of the University
of Kansas announced that the
Jayhawks might abandon their re
lays next spring. Wrestling coaches
will serve without pay as officials
at any wrestling competition while
the 175 pound class event was en
tirely eliminated.
. Schools may schedule dual meets
in wrestling, baseball and tennis
altho the sports will not be carried
on extensively.

INTELLIGENCE TESTS
Single Mental Measurement
Is Inadequate, Says
K. U. Teacher.
KANSAS. "Intelligence tests
are not fatalistic things that con
demn a child to a given level of
achievement," said Bert A. Nash,
associate professor of education at
the University of Kansas in a ra
dio talk over station KFKU, "Ex
cept in rather broad limits, a low
score on a test for a given chron
ological age indicates that learning
of particular things may be more
difficult, and that school advance
ment may only come thru greater
motivation and effort. Unless the
score on the tests is very much
lower than expectancy, a modifi
cation and stimulation may pro
duce satisfactory results."
"In the second place," Pro
fessor Nash continued, "There is
no intelligence test that is ade
quate alone. A single mental meas
ure cannot possibly give an ade
quate picture of a person. At least
three different tests should be used
in order to get a true picture and
index of mental development.
"A third misuse of intelligence
test scores is to assume that they
can be used independently of other
measures, as school success, teach
er evaluation, social adaptation,
etc. After all a mental measure is
only one approach to the whole
child. Other approaches must be
studied if we get a true picture of
tha child's potentialities. It is for
this reason that a thoro clinical ex
amination should be made of all

our problems and misfits in our
schools.
"One of the first real values of
the mental test when properly
used is that it does present an ap
proximation as to the extent to
which a child is developed mentally
In comparison with other children
in like circumstances and at the
same age. There is some value in
knowing the present state of ma
turity, mentally.
"Undoubtedly too much em
phasis has been placed upon the
mental age concept in education in
some places and over zealous ex
ponets of mental tests neve hin
dered the legitimate development
of the movement. Those who see in
mental tests the solution of all ed
ucational problems are bound to
be disappointed for these are many
types of difficulties of a graver na
ture than mental deficiencies, how
ever the important thing is that
we get a correct notion as to the
part intelligence tests play in ed
ucation thru a proper interpreta
tion of the scores. Surely it is
worthwhile for parents to become
acquainted with the problem for it
is one of the more significant fac
tors in our modern education."
Murliri Spencer
An editorial appearing in Wed
nesday's Daily Nebraskan charged
a number of things against this
college game of football. In the
first place it stated that a change
in the system now used must be
brought about or the "students In
the universities and the public in
general will soon sicken of the
professionalism and commercial
ism that is entering college foot
ball." Continuing its charges, the
editorial said that football men
must allow their studies to slide
thru the entire season because the
men are too tired to study after a
football practice. Also, the players
get more exercise from the game
than can possibly be of benefit to
them, together with the number
killed and injured for life.
The writer of this editorial
against college football seems to
be following in the footstep:? of
other editors of college newspa
pers in a subject in which it is
doubtful if he is quite aware of all
of the facts.
A question which might be well
to ask at this time i, why is it
that the editors of college papers
make the charges instead of the
players that really know the con
ditions? It is a rare thing for a
football player to bring charges
against the game that effects him
more than anyone else.
Another question that will have
to be answered is: "What are all
of the minor sports going to do if
football is cut out?" They depend
for their very existence upon the
receipts taken in at football games.
Coach Dana X. Bible stated that
there are enough softening influ
ences in the world today and the
country can certainly use this
game of football. This is only too
true. Even at that, there are peo
ple over the country, who have
claims that football is becoming a
soft game.
I doubt seriously if the games
are being played exclusively for
thp sake of the crowd or the gate
receipts. Naturally since the garni!
depends upon the crowds for Its
very existence it is necessary to
present a game which will attract
these crowds. The players forget
all about the crowd when they get
in the game, however, and from
that time they are playing as a
team for their school and not to
give the crowd a big thrill.
The fact that the players play
the game without remuneration
other than a letter and a sweater
speaks for itself. They aie for the
most part playing the game be
cause of their love for it and for no
other reason.
Some schools in the country use
football as an advertising scheme
but they are in the minority. Pro
fessionalism has been kept to such
a small degree that it is hardly
noticeable and it is doubtful if any
game will ever be played without
that evil entering in to a certain
extent.
Football has and always will jus
tify its existence on the campuses
of the universities and colleges in
the country. It is a character
builder that is favorable. When the
football players themselves start
making these charges against the
game that they themselves play,
then the public as a whole will be
gin to take some stock in the ae
cusations. Until then they will
have to.be regarded merely as
"filler" for the editorial columns.

TEAM GRIDSTERS
Nubbins Glorified as Sports
Scribe Tells Story of
Work in Practice.
SQUAD OPPOSES VARSITY
Second Team Demonstrates
Opponents' Plays for
Regular Gridders.
BY MURLIN SPENCER.
Another group at the University
of Nebraska that holds a place
among the unsung heroes of the
gridiron is the "B" or nubbins
squad. The nubbins came into
prominence this year as the result
of their two victories over other
schools in the state and their work
against the varsity in regular
practices.
Coached by Jo Lehman and Red
Young, the nubbins won from
Peru 13 to 7, Kearney Normal, 7
to 0 and lost to the Freshman
eleven by tl.e score of 2 to 0.
Out for practice every day dur
ing the regular season, playing
only a small schedule and learn
ing plays of varsity opponents for
demonstration, the nubbins squad
is as much responsible for the suc
cessful spason iust finished as the
varsity itself.
Nubbins Perform Quietly.
Little is known or heard for the
most part concerning the nubbins.
The squad is made up of men who
have not had the necessary expe
rience for varsity play, lack neces
sary physical qualifications or men
who have not had the opportunity
to learn the game.
Each season the regular varsity
squad is cut into half, the one half
making up the regular varsity and
the other making up the nubbins.
The nubbins use the same plays,
have expert instruction, and go
through the same preparations as
the varsity itself.
A man who proves to the nub
bins' coaches that he is able to
perform in a manner equal to the
varsity men is immediately pro
moted. Roby, Staab and Holm
beck are men who started the sea
son on the nubbins squad and were
sent up for regular varsity com
petition. All of them took part in
the late games on the Huskers'
schedule.
The feature of the entire season
was the fact that almost 100 per
cent attendance was recorded.
More interest was shown by the
members of the squad than ever
before.
Kearney Game Best.
The nubbins turned in their best
game against Kearney Normal,
coming out on the long end of a 7
to 0 score against a team which
was rated highly in its own con
ference. In their opening game of
the season, the nubbins won rom
Peru 13 to 7. The only loss of the
season was at the hands of the
freshmen in a tight game which
was decided by two points.
Following ai-e the members of
the nubbins squad: Akerman, Arm

Coon Hunting Seen
As Latest Revival;
Janitor Gets Four
BY ED APKING.
Coon hunting, that once popular
sport of the southerner, which is
gradually staging a comeback,
made its appearance among Ne
braskans ushered in by Fred E.
Titus, janitor of U. hall.
The sharp hysterical barking of
the hound who has "treed" a coon
is again being heard by Nebraska
people and increasing numbers of
the animals are being caught.
One of a party of four men and
a dog, Titus made a foray in the
woods near Greenwood and came
out victorious with four coons and
fourteen possums.
According to Titus this is a
rather remarkable record for one
dog in a single night, as the dog,
beside trailing and treeing the an
imal, must also kill the animal
after it has been driven from the
tree.
"Coons put up quite a bit of
fight, especially if they are hard
pressed," explained Titus," it
takes a good dog who knows how
to keep out of reach of their claws
to kill them. Even then the dog is
usually scratched up somewhat.
The dog accompanying the party
was " a good un" according to
Titus. It belonged to his son, Wal
ter Titus.
Those caught by Mr. Titus were
in his opinion, small ones, weigh
ing around fifteen pounds. He
told of a party of twenty-four men
who went recently with three dogs
and captured a coon weighing
twenty-seven pounds. "He must a'
been a, fighter as one of the dogs
was badly injured."
Thursday night again saw this
sportsman following his hound.

GRID INJURIES HAMPER
LAWRENCE, Kans., Dec. 9.
The first game of the season for
the basketball squads of the Uni
versity of Kansas and the Kansas
Aggies to be played at Lawrence
Friday will probably be marked
by a large number of times out,
both coaches agreeing not to limit
the number which the other team
shall have. This agreement was
reached because of the fact that
several of the members have been
out for football and have not had
sufficient time to get in shape for
the fast action required on the bas
ketball court.
Seven of the Kansas basketball
players have been out for football
and competed in the final football
game with Washburn last Satur
day. These men have not yet
been out for basketball practice
this year but were expected either
Monday or Tuesday. The only
time before the Aggie game when
the coaches will be able to get the
entire squad together for practice
will be Thursday, the day before
the game.
The official for the games with
the Aggies both at Lawrence the
11th and at Manhattan on the 16th
will be E. C. Quigley, veteran Mis
souri Valley official. In these two
games a man can compete only on
one team, or in one game. If the
coach uses a player in the first
game, he will not be able to com
pete in the second. The Aggies
will probably bring a large squad
for the game at Lawrence, which
will be called at 7:30.
Kansas will go to Manhattan in
motor cars for the game on the
16th. leaving about noon and re
turning immediately after the
game.
Elmer Schaake, star backfield
man on the Jayhawker football
squad is coming out for basketball.
He sprained his ankle in the game
with Washbuni last Saturday so
will not be able to come out for
practice for a short time. Schaake
will not be able to compete in the
Aggie game here Friday, but will
