Cornhusker Coach Qutlines
Plans for Twenty-Four
Practice Sessions.
Spring football practice will get
under way March 7, Coach Dana
X. Bible announced Tuesday fol
lowing his return from a meeting
of the national rules committee at
Hanover, N. H.
Equipment will be issued the
preceding week, so that the candi
dates will be all set to go, Bible
declared. The Husker mentor plans
twenty-four practice sessions for
the spring season, the workouts to
be interspersed probably with sev
eral games of regulation length.
"Every man not already en
Raged in some other sport is ex
pected to report for the drills,"
Bible emphasized.
"The main purpose of the work
outs is to give the men a thorough
drill in fundamentals in addition
to giving the coaching staff an op
portunity of getting acquainted
with frosh material," said the
sscailet coach.
Since baseball has been stricken
from the program of Husker spring
sports, vv. H. Browne, diamond
coach, will be able to give full time
in assisting Bible with the spring
practices. Bill Day, Joe Lehman,
Ed Weir, and Charley Black com
plete the list of coaches who will
aid in the workouts.
Dr. Kiesselbach
Solves Problem
Of State Crops
The farm had been rented. That
incident twenty-four years ago di
verted Dr. Theodore A. Kiessel
bach, now professor of agronomy
in the University of Nebraska ex
periment station, from the life of
a farmer.
Unable to rent the desired farm
in Custer county. Professor Kies
selbach, then just out of college,
returned to Lincoln and entered
the employ of the college of agri
culture. He has worked his way up
to his present rank of professor.
"My job has been an effort to
solve the crop problems of the
state," recently declared Dr. Kies
selbach. But he also studies many
new methods of research and in
vestigation. Nebraska, being a
comparatively new state, is con
fronted with many crop problems
that eventually find their way to
the experiment station.
Exemplifies Patience.
The patience and resourceful
ness of Dr. Kieselbach is exempli
fied by his work in breeding corn.
This work was taken up under his
guidance in 1912. It was started
before that time, however, by
other agronomists in charge of the
experiment station. Dr. Kiessel
bach has been breeding and in
breeding corn to this day and finds
that the work at present is more
promising of results than it has
ever been.
The investigations in this work
were started for the purpose of
finding out how inbreeding would

an enormous amount of valuable

other factors in corn production
have been published.
Study of Subsoil.
One of the most interesting ex
periments that he has worked on
is the study of subsoil moisture in
fluences in alfalfa production. It
is commonly understood that the
roots of alfalfa extend deeper into
the subsoil than do the roots of
cereal crops. Therefore alfalfa
uses subsoil moisture to lower
depths than the cereals. Under or
dinary upland cropping conditions
the natural restoration of subsoil
moisture is found to be very slow;
in fact, approximately 225 years
would be required to restore the
subsoil moisture removed by six
years of cropping to alfalfa.

FARMER'S FAIR WILL
E
Historical Development of
Ag College Planned, Says
Meredith.
A pageant depicting the devel
opment of a griculture in Ne
braska in connection with the
growth of the agricultural college
will be one of the big features of
the 1932 Farmers Fair to be held
on the college of agriculture cam
pus Saturday, May 7, Fred Mere
dith has announced.
Fred Meredith, manager of the
coming event, announced that
plans for the pageant have been
tentatively made. Prof. R. D.
Scott of the English department
on the downtown campus is to di
rect the pageant and is already
taking an active interest in its
development.
Last week Professor Scott vis
ited the Ag campus and met with
the pageantry class which is de
veloping the different episodes of
the presentation. He traced the
development of the industry and
made valuable suggestions for the
event. It is believed to be the
first year that a university faculty
advisor has assumed the respon
sibility of helping with the project
in an active fashion.
It is not expected that the
pageant will be held on the
grounds used for former presenta
tions. Usually it is held to the
south of the home economics build
ing but this year it is planned to
move it to another part of the
campus. Lack of bleacher room is
causing the change in location.
Manager Meredith with Dean Burr,
W. H. Dunman; Prof. H. P. Davis,
Miss Besse Steele, Clarice Hadds,
Ruthalee Holloway and Al Ebers
are busy this week looking over
proposed locations.
In announcing the preliminary
plans for the pageant, Manager
Meredith declared that the senior
fair board has some novel plans
to 'work out but they will not be
announced until later. Ruthalee
Holloway and Al Ebers are co
chairman of the pageantry com
mittee. Fraternity Officer
Says Museum Best
Place for Paddles
AMES, la. No longer is the
time-honored paddle an essential
part in training fraternity fresh
men in American college, it was
stated here last week by Norman
Hackett, graduate secretary of
Theta Delta Chi, who addressed an
audience of Iowa State college
fraternity men.
"All national fraternities are
urging their chapters to drop the
practice of putting new members
through hell weeks of intensive
hazing," he declared. "Dr. A.
Chase, president of the University
of Illinois, has said that the
'proper place for the paddle Is in
the museum of antiquity.' "
YALE ALUMNI HAVE

last year, and is reported to roll
a wicked ball on the bowling al
leys. He had no previous high
school experience in thu line of
sports before he entered, the uni
versity. DEVENGE will be tt inspiration
of two Husker athletes when
thev compete for Nebraska this
coming week end. Bob Ostergard,
middle distance star is all set to
beat Mell of Oklahoma in the
Shannon Douglas special 600-yard
race at the KCAC meet Saturday
in Kansas City. Mell won last
year from "Osty" and the long
geared boy from Gothenburg has
promised Schulte that there will
be no repetition. Tuesday after
noon at the stadium, Ostergard
was clocked in 1:15.8 in a trial
run, although the distance was a
few yards short of the necessary
600. The record of 1:15.3 in the
Shannon Douglas event is one of
the oldest on the books, Jimmy
Lewis, assistant track coach, de
clared. .
P
HE second individual who is
pronouncing revenge with a
capital "R" is Jerry Adam, heavy
weight wrestler for the Huskers.
Coach Lehman has promised Jerry
a crack at Martin, Iowa State 165
pounder, when the two teams meet
Saturday at Ames. Martin, runner
up in the 1931 national intercol
legiates, got the nod over Adam
last year, and the Plattsmouth
strong man hopes . to turn the
tables in their second meeting.
However, Jerry is slated for a
bit of reducing as he weighs 172
pounds at present. His lack of
weight for the unlimited class did
not prevent him from winning a
decision over Thiele, 205 pound
Knsas State heavyweight last
week.
I'VE nver heard "Bud" Parsons,
freshman athlete, called by any
other name. After diligent effort,
it was discovered that Rollin is a
correct moniker. Try it on him
some time, but be sure to have the
smelling salts handy. He's not
used to sudden shocks.
"LJANK" KOSMAN, guard on
the freshman basketball
team, is nursing a badly sprained
ankle as the result of blocking an
opponent's scoring effort in Mon
day night's scrimmage. He played
at Benson during his prep compe
tition. J7ROSH sprinters are both good
and abundant this year. Lam
oureaux of Valentine, Mousel of
Cambridge, Froelich of Friend and
Williams of Warsaw, Ind., are four
dash men who would gladden the
eye of any track coach. They all
do the 50 yard da'li in 5.6 or 5.7
seconds.
AMES TRACKERS TO K.C.A.C.
Four Members of Iowa State
Indoor Team Expected
to Enter Meet.
AMES, la. Four members of
the Iowa State College indoor
track team will probably enter the
Kansas City Athletic clut meet
Saturday, T. N. Metcalf, director
of athletics, has announced.
The final decision as to who will
enter has not been made, but it is
thought that Chapman, Nagel,
Henderson, and Wesslir.g will go
to Kansas City for the meet. In
the event these nua are chosen all
four will probably run on the mile
relay team and compete in indi
vidual events on the Big Six team
against the Los Angeles Athletic
club team. . .

IAN SEAL' AMUSES,
WITH AQUATIC STUNTS
Mohawk Gives Entertaining
Performance Yesterday
In Coliseum Pool.
Ceola Mohawk, nationally fam
ous stunt swimmer, entertained
and amused a group of aquatic
enthusiasts with a unique swim
ming exhibition in the coliseum
pool Tuesday afternoon. Clarke
Powell and Kenneth Sutherland,
varsity divers, aided Mohawk in a
diving exhibition.
Proving his right to be known
as "the human seal," Mohawk as
tonished the audience by execut
ing such difficult tricks as swim
ming vertically with head down
and feet protruding above the
water, sculling feet forward, swim
ming feet first under the surface,
and swimming vertically in a cir
cle using only one hand.
The "Seal" amused the gather
ing with Egyptian floating, re
maining on the surface while his
arms and legs assumed various
positions. He also exhibited a
number of under water turns, and
with the aid of Varsity swimmers,
did some difficult under water
maneuvering. Blowing air bubbles
underwater, which reached the
surface after he had already
emerged, was another amusing
demonstration.
The exhibition was held for the
purpose of raising funds towards
Nebraska's contribution to the
American Olympic fund.

Down Overhead of
College Functions
AMES, la. The tendency of so
cial life at Iowa State college is
toward "simpler, more wholesome"
functions, according to Mrs. Iza
W. Merchant, director of social af
fairs. "But students are having just as
good times just the same," she
says.
Not only has the cost of most of
the big all college dances been
lowered, she said, but the smaller
groups fraternities and sororities
have put their parties on a less
elaborate scale than was the vogue
for several years. Dances without
favors, once considered essential
are common, and there have been
this year 120 "exchange parties" in
which members of a fraternity
visit a sorority to dance in an in
formal and completely inexpensive
manner, Mrs. Merchant points out.
