5 SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933. THE DAILY NERRASKAN THREE CINDERMEN TAKE DHL Schulte Runs Off Series of Trial Spins in Stadium Saturday Afternoon. VETERANS SHOW SPEED Condition of Oval Slows Up Performances But Coach Satisfied With Marks. The University of Nebraska indoor track team took its first rated workout of the season Saturday afternoon under the east stadium in a scries of trial spins designed more for the bene fit of the men than to secure show ings in the various events. Due to the earlincss of the sea son, the general "dispropensity" of the men, and a Boggy track, excep tional marks were noticeable by their absence, but H. F. Schulte, track mentor, expressed satisfac tion with the tryout. "We were not trying for good marks," the "In dian" stated, "and we weren't ex pecting more than we got. It was just a workout to let the men know where they stand, how much they've improved, and how far they have to go before being ripe for the season." In most cases, it was the vet erans who came thru with the most highly acceptable performances, but several of the youngsters sur prised themselves and the coach ing force by showing their heels to the older men while chasing down the fairway. All in all, the indivi dual marks were excellent. Pankonin Shows Up Best. Lester Pankonin, Louisville soph, performed best of all the trackmen running during the afternoon by lapping the oval in 29 seconds, edging Roberts, a letterwlnncr, by four-tenths of a second and about two yards. Roberts went into the lead early, but Pankonin came up fast on the back stretch, and the varsity man couldn't match the burst of speed which sent the soph home as winner. Chester Beaver, a holdover from last year's squad, galloped around the oval one and one half times for a mark of 56.2 seconds in the quarter mile, there by establishing himself as a serious and definite contender for that dis tance. A brace of 50 yard sprints were run, with Harold "Jake" Jacob sen, Trenton, Missouri speed boy, Hashing in winner in both, as ex pected. His time of 5.6 and 5.7 seconds for each race, respective ly, was good for his first race of the year and on the slow, soggy runway. Last year Jacobsen, as a soph sprinter, captured second place in the 100 and 220 yard runs in the Big Six carnival. Cockburn --Takes Second. In the first of the dashes, Dick Cockburn took second, Pankonin third, and Dawson fourth. The second was just changed around, with Dawson coming in second, Pankonin third, and Cockburn fourth. Cockburn faltered and stumbled near the tape to lose l. material advantage he had gained over the entire field but Jacobsen.

Because he found that "wet" air transmits sound better than dry air, that pure oxygen absorbs sound rapidly, and because he con tributed much acoustical Informa tion of various other natures to science, Prof. Vern Oliver Knud son, chairman of the department of physics at the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles today had won the $1,000 prize of the Amer. lean association for the advance ment of science. His paper, entitled "The Absorp tion of Sound in Gasses," asserted ly contributed much to the ad vancement of the study of chem istry, because, since sound waves travel thru air by vibrating and Rotating the molecules of the air, the waves can be used to learn about the behavior of the mole cules of which both air and other gasses are composed. 60 yard stretch. Dawson, running with him, fell back after missing one of the low stlckB and stepped out of the race. The field men showed better performance for early work than did the track group. In the pole vault, Carl Nichols and Sherman Cosgrove shoved off over the crossbar at 12 feet 8 inches. Each took several trials at 12.6, but the increased altitude proved too much for the vaultcrs to take. Dick Cockburn of the varsity and Orlo Thomas, a frosh, took off and landed 22 feet and 20 feet respec tively from the Jumping-off board in the broad jump. Cockbum's leap through the air was the best field display of the day. Toman Leads High Jumpers. Ray Toman cleared the high Jump bar at a height of 5 feet 10 inches to lead the aspirants in that event. Thomas and Martin each sailed over at 5.6, but failed at the next raising of the rod. Owen Rist pushed the shot out 43 feet, 10 inches Friday afternoon, but didn't throw Saturday. From now on out. Coach Schulte promises lots of hard work and frequent tryouts to his men. There are over 150 suits now checked out but all the men haven't reported for practice regularly. Real prep arations for the coming indoor season will get under way next week, with a slight suspension during exam week ,and go ahead full blast with the start of the second semester.

CANTOR ANN SOTHERN CI ETHEL MERMAN BLOCK A SULLY THE GOLDWYN GIRLS ABOVE PAR SQUAD Meet With K. U. Tentatively Scheduled Saturday at Lincoln. Prospects for one of the best swimming teams Nebraska has ever put into the field are rapidly taking form under the tutelage of Jack Minor, university swimming coach, as preparations for a ten tative meet with Kansas University at Lincoln, Saturday, Jan. 19, go forward In the university pool. According to Minor, th men who will stroke for Nebraska in the swirling waters of competitive meets have already bettered every one of the Big Six records in prac tice, with the exception of the 150 yard breast stroke and the 440 yard free style. Despite the fact that Jim Pixley, free styler, and Beed Smith, breast . stroke man, will not be able to compete until nex semester, the university in structor, himself a Nebraska letter man in the aquatic sport, appeared highly optimistic over Nebraska's prospects for a successful season. Men who are being groomed to take part in Big Six and non-conference meets are Jack Gavin, Glendon Lynde, Hugh Rathburn, Harry Kuklin, Keith Schroeder, Herbert Weston, Ben Rlmmerman, Bob Gibbon, and Bernard Galitzki. The 1935 schedule to date in cludes meets with Kansas State, Iowa State, Washington university, Washburn college, Grinnell and possibly Gustavus Adolphus, end ing in the climactical Big Six con ference meet at Lincoln, March 8 and 9. Time trials were run off Satur day in the coliseum as an aid in determining the capabilities of each man. Although Minor released no figures he stated that he was high ly satisfied with the showing of all men who competed. NEBRASKA TRIMS IOWA IN THRILLER (Continued from Page 1). that was cinched, Ace Cowan hit for two doubledeckers in a hurry that put his team but one point behind. The second one, nowever, came as the gun sounded and was of no earthly value in settling the issue at hand. Evidently Coach Menze of the invading Iowa State quintet now believes more firmly in nis powers of prophecy than he did before the Cyclones hit Lincoln. That worthy gentleman picked Nebraska to continue undefeated and win the Big Six crown. It is doubtful if he really expected his winners to fall before Coach Brownes Iuck less lads. If he did, the Iowa State contingent shouldn't feel too bad, and if he didn't, he must now have a more hearty respect both for the Nebraska basketball team and for his own powers of foresight. Be that as it may, it remains that Iowa State, after having won seven straight games, fresh from impressive victories over Iowa, Nebraska s conqueror, and MiS' sourL fell before the onslaught de livered by a quintet of never doubting Huskers in one of the most thrilling hoop exhibitions ever seen in the coliseum. First Half Dull. The first half was devoid of en tertainment. The only bright spots on the Huskers' record was some excellent defense work by Game' Captain Bud Parsons and the first seven minutes of play, when the score was in favor of the lads in white. But after that seven min ute Nebraska superiority, Iowa State came to life and whirled thru for baskets that spelled defeat to the most optimistic of fans. Both teams were shooting wildly, but the Cyclones settled down more quickly than did Nebraska and made good their six point lead at lunchtime. The outlook was dls mal for the Brownemen. They had control of the ball most of the way, but couldn't pierce the rangy Staters defense. With the beginning of the sec ond period little Henry Whitaker staged a personal attack upon all Cyclones, and, with the aid of his teammates, roped and hogtled them and prepared them for ship ment to Ames. It was the midway point of the second half when the score was tied, and the Husker scoring record from then on reads something like this: Whitaker, Parsons, Whitaker, Whitaker, Par sons, Whitaker. Whitaker, Baker, Baker, Whitaker, Whitaker. Baker, Whitaker Scores 14 Points. All in all, the dazzling maple speedster, cavorting around the basketball floor like a broken field runner, accounted for fourteen points, twelve of which were scored in the last half. Overhand, under hand, from the side, corner, or dead ahead, he Just couldn't miss What Whitaker did offensively Bud Parsons matched on the de fensive side of the ledger. He broke up Iowa State plays and passes with devastating effect and regularity, waniqulst shone by his noor work and passing expert' ness. The game soon developed into a rough and tumble affair, with fourteen fouls being called on Huskers and ten on Cyclones. One Iowa State man was ejected be cause of personals, while three Ne braskans had three each. Expertness from the free throw line really decided the battle, Huskers cashing in on eight out of twelve chances, and Cyclopes scor ing on seven out of fifteen. Field goals were even with twelve apiece. Whitaker was high point man of the evening with fourteen tallies.

Soldiers Dying Faster of Fever Than Spanish Bullets Ultimately Brought Creation of Famed Play Yellow Jack' Because American soldiers 'were dying faster from yellow fever in Cuba in 1900 than they were from bullets of the Spaniards, Walter Keed and his yellow fever commission was sent there. From this romantic, heroic struggle to find the cause of the fever Sidney Howard wrote the play, "Yellow Jack," which the University Play-O ers offer this week at the Temple theater. Doctors and soldiers in the American army volunteered to be human guinea pigs that Walter Reed might test his theory when he believed the germ of yellow fever was carried by a mosquito. No known animal would contract the disease and to prove the ideas of these men of science, other men and even they themselves risked death from yellow jack. The cast of University Players who act these parts will show the desperation and horror of the doc tors at using human beings for ex periment. Some of the anguish of the men responsible for suffering and death will be felt by the audi ence, the cold-blooded courage of soldiers and scientists who let mos quitoes give them the fatal yellow fever. Opening in a London laboratory in 1929 where scientists are work ing on a vaccine for the fever, the scene quickly changes to a West African office in 1927 where it is found that a monkey will contract this disease. Then the play shifts back to 1900 and Cuba where most of the action takes place. Though this historically, true, yet dramatic story is the greatest as set of the play, the staging and setting also made theatrical his torical history last year in New York. It is shown with one main set, using a combination of differ ent levels and steps. A revolving platform and two sliding platforms permit a change of stage without the curtain being lowered. Differ ent scenes are effected merely by changing the great battery of lights arranged for the play. Har old Sumption, stage director, ex pects to use a dozen persons to handle the difficult lighting and staging arrangements, which call for twenty-nine scenes, with only one intermission, at the end of the first act when the curtain is dropped. In the cast of "Yellow Jack," are forty persons, many of them with play names taken from his tory. Era Lown, Lincoln, carries the part of Walter Reed who headed the yellow fever commis sion. His associates are Dwight Perkins. Lincoln, as James Car roll; John Quinn, Mullen, as the Cuban Aristides Agramonte; and Armand Hunter, Humboldt, play ing the ill-fated Jesse W. Lazear. Adela Tombrlnk, Omaha, is cast in the part of Miss Blake, nurse and only woman in the play. As the soldiers who volunteer to act as human guinea pigs are Henry Kosman, Omaha; Jack Nicholas, St. Joseph; David Goldware, Om aha and Clare Wolfe, Lincoln. Sidney Howard wrote his play from a chapter of the book "Mic robe Hunters" by Paul de Kruif. Reed and Carroll went as doctors from the United States to Cuba and found there Ivizear and Agra monte.

OUR EXPERTS DO THIS for 400 or SOC each Poy Wythera Joe Tucker B3367 211 No. 14 Girlsin u ri X Cv t '- -w. " consider the theory of an eccentric Scottish doctor who had an unsub stantiated notion that the fever was carried from human to human by mosquitoes. First the commissioners tested the theory on themselves. Dr. Car roll caught yellow jack from one of the hatched mosquitoes, and then Dr. Lazear died of it. But the men had been careless and the ex periment was scientifically incom plete. Dr. Reed called for four soldiers to volunteer. Two of them were bitten by yellow fever mosquitoes and placed in sanitary quarters, but the other two were only placed in an unspeakably filthy shack where if the disease were contagi ous they would get it. Only the first two became ill and Dr. Reed had won his first victory over yel low jack. Howard, the playwright, has made "Yellow Jack" so good that it was a leading candidate for the Pulitzer prize last spring, and won loud acclaim from New York crit ics. It is not his first success. He won a Pulitzer prize some years ago with "They Knew What They Wanted." He became the most successful dramatist of last senson through his plays "Alien Corn" and "The Late Christopher Bean," and his adaptations of "Dodsworth" and "Yellow Jack." The death of Dr. Lazear In "Yel low Jack" after he had injected the poison of a mosquito into his veins is thought to be one of the most impressive scenes in modern drama. "Waste! Waste!" cries the doc tor. "He's getting weaker,' says Gorgas. "No, Major Gorgas," old Dr. Fin lay axwwers him. "The stuff of courage doesn't grow weaker! It grows stronger. Stronger and brighter! Until it blinds us!" Scenes throughout the Univer sity Players show will be blended with bugles, drums, and a male quartet singing such songs of the 1900's as "Annie Rooney," "Banks of the Wabash" and "There'll be a Hot Time in the O'd Town To night!' We can't recall the name of the college, but as you would guess, it's in New England, and is fairly snooty, to employ the vulgar phrase. Anyway, the boys wanted to have a "hobo day." The dean of men stiffened his Puritan back bone for a while, then consented, if they would change the title to something like "transient day!" 1 1 One of the biggest productions ever put on by the University Players the week of January 14th The Historical Drama "Yellow Jack" Late Broadway Success 50 Characters 29 Scenes 3 Level Stage TEMPLE THEATRE Admission 50 and 75 Cents kAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAi Cellophane Q Ox r'M - v e ; ' EVANS LAUNDRY OFFERS MONEY SAVING SERVICE Another opportunity for stu dents to save money each week is offered by the Evans Laundry.
