KANSAS
AGGIES
SOONERS SLATED
FOR TRACK TITLE
Schulte Grooms N. U. Squad
For Big Six Encounter
At Columbia.
Kansas State and Oklahoma,
with slie-ht odds on the Sooners
thus do the sages of the dope
bucket of the cinder world con
clude their arithmetic in the ad'
vance selection of the Schools who
will battle for first place acclaim
in the fourteenth annual Big Six
indoor track and field champion
ships Friday and Saturday at Co
lumbia, Missouri.
Nebraska's Scarlet spike stag
ers, with Coach Henry F. scnuite
counting on the "bacon being
brought home" to the Husker
camp in the form of points scored
by Harold Jacobsen, speed star,
Ray Toman in the broad jump and
shot put, Ulen nnK in me mne
and half mile, and Albert Rist in
the shot put, are accorded a hectic
duel with Missouri for third place.
In addition to his veteran track-
sters, Coach Schulte is depending
on a pair of sophomores in the
personages of Liioya caraweu,
"jack of all trades" from Seward,
and Kenneth Chapman, Wymore
timber topper, to follow Knappen
berger of Kansas State to the tape
in the high sticks.
Slim Chances for Kansant.
Kansas university, minus the
services of Glen Cunningham, mid
dle distance record cracker, is fa
vored to finish at the opposite end
of the list, from her first place
standing last year. With the ex
ception of the shot put, which El
wyn Dees should bring home to
Jayhawk Coach Bill Harglss, and
the pole vault, in which Gordon
Gray and Bob White should place,
the champion K a n s a n s seem
doomed to cop the cellar spot in
all events.
Chances for Iowa State's stuff
ing a host of places under her belt,
too, seem no more numerous than
royalists in Russia, Coach Bob
Simpson, will be forced to depend
on Costigan in the shot and Miller
and Elliot in the high jump for
ammunition with which to battle
Kansas for fifth place.
New marks may be expected in
the pole vault, shot put-and quar
ter mile run, with the possibility
of a new reading on the stop watch
if Joe Knappenberger gets started
in the hurdles. Potential record
breakers in addition to Knappen
berger are Justice O'Reilly of
Kansas State; Bartlett Ward and
Floyd Lochner of Oklahoma; Sid
Cooley and Dick Waters of Mis
souri. Sixteen Husker To Go.
Although Nebraska is allowed a
representation of sixteen men
Coach Schulte has not yet deter
mined the complete squad to make
the trip. The tracksters selected
thus far are Harold Jacobsen,
Kenneth Chapman, S t a n d 1 e y
Haight, Sherm Cosgrove, Carl
Nichols, Ray Toman, Albert Rist,
Robert Warnke, and Glen Funk.
Coacn Schulte dispensed with
the usual strenuous handicap meet
between the freshman and varsity
last Saturday, allowing his Scarlet
proteges an easy workout because
of colds and slight injuries.
Glen Funk, Central City iron
man, copped a 4 minute 28 second
mile and Howard Roberts turned
in a 53.8 seconds clocking in the
440. Harold Jacobsen sped over
the dash route in 6.3 seconds, as
Kenneth Chapman was taking the
lows in 7.3 and Linus Carrol was
winning the highs in S seconds.
Ray Toman got 6 feet in the high
Jump and Bob Warnke spanned 22
feet 4 inches in the broad jump.

Work Way to Finals of Class
A Intramural Hoop
Competition.
The basketeers of Delta Tau
Delta and Phi Kappa Psi entered
the final round of the fraternity
Class A Wednesday night and
those of Alpha Gamma Rho won
the right to meet the Pi Kappa
Alpha five in the B finals. Tiis
Delta beat Sigma Alpha Epsilon
16 to 13, while the Phi Psls beat
Sigma Nu 13 to 10 and the
A. G. R.'s beat Sigma Chi 23 to 14.
In the most exciting game of
the evening the Delts took the Sig
Alphs' number in an extra period.
The Delts can thank their stellar
guard, Johnny Howell, for remain
ing in the tournament. The Sig
Alphs were leading 12 to 10 and
Howell had possession of the ball.
Just as the pellet left his hand the
whistle blew to end the game.
Howell was standing a little past
the middle of the floor and the
shot was a long and difficult one.
Nevertheless the ball went through
the hoop without touching either
rim or blackboard. This shot sent
the game into extra periods and
the Delts emerged victorious. The
game started out to be a Sig Alph
runaway as they amassed five tal
lies before Sawtell broke the ice
with two charity tosses. Grove
then sank a basket and the half
ended with the Sig Alphs in front
5 to 4. In the second half the
Delts started out with a rush be
fore the Sig Alph team could get
started. When the latter team
awoke the Delts were leading 10
to 5. Then Bob Davies got "hot"
and when the smoke cleared th
Sig Alphs had a 12 to 10 lead with
nut forty-five seconds to nlav.
Then Howell made his movie thrill
er shot and the game went into
extra periods. Sawtell sank a
basket and the Sig Alphs came
within one point on Turner's free
throw. Then Grove made a basket
to cinch the game for the Delts.
Howell, Grove, Sawtell and Brill
all shone for the victors while
Turner and Davies starred for the
losers.
The Phi Psi-Sig Nu game was
one in which the victors were never
headed tho the losers were ever
dangerous. The Phi Psis had a
7 to 4 lead at the half by virtue
of the playing of Gridley and Coy.
The second half saw Gridley score
five more points to put the game
on ice for the Phi Psis. The Sig
Nus had enough charity tosses in
the second half to win the game,
but they muffed all their chances
but one. The Sig Nus did start
a rally in the second half, but it
was too late. This rally was insti
tuted by Thomas who was the out
standing Sigma Nu player. Grid
lpy was the whole show for the Phi
Psis.
The A. G. R.s beat the Sig Chis
for one reason. That reason was
too much Anderson. That flashy
little forward scored 12 points, al
most as many as the entire Sig
Chi team. The Sig Chis did take
the lead in the first few minutes
of play on baskets by Lehan and
Jeffries. Then Anderson started
to connect and the game was the
A. G. R.s from then on. The A. G.
R.s led 10 to 6 at the halt. Ander
son was undoubtedly the finest
player on the floor. Lehan and
Jeffries starred for the losers.
The finals and the playoffs for
third and fourth places in the fra
ternity A and B and the barb com
petition will take place Saturday
afternoon, March 16, at 1:30 p. m.
Everyone is Invited. There ia no
admission.
NEBRASKA TRIMS
GYMNASTIC

E
STERN TRIP
Scarlet Lose Only One Out
Of Four Tilts on Three
Day Program.
Coach Charlie Miller's Crimson
gymnasts followed the advice of a
great man last weekend and "went
west" to discover the "gold in them
thar hills" in a series of gymnastic
meets with Jolorado universities.
And the Husker acrobats came
home with a goodly portion of the
obtainable glories of the engage
ments in their possession.
Losing only one match in a full-to-the-top
schedule that called for
four tilts in three days, Coach Mil
ler's caper cutters came back to
their native haunts to point with
pardonable pride to a most envi
able mark for their second year of
intercollegiate competition.
Falling victim to the Colorado
agricultural college aggregation
Friday afternoon by a 430 to 424 Vi
score the Nebraska acrobats eked
out a win over the Colorado State
Teachers college Thursday with a
226 Vii to 224 recording and romped
all over the University of Colorado
Saturday afternoon, taking the
measure of the Westerner's with
a 219 Vi to 177 V2 count.
To put the climax on their
achievements. Coach Miller's agile
charges copped the Rocky Moun
tain A. A. U. meet Saturday eve
ning at Denver, scoring 22 points
to lead the Colorado Aggies and
Colorado university, with 14 and 9
point totals, respectively. But the
Huskers, altho invited to compete
in the carnival, were out of the
Rocky Mountain conference and
could not claim the title, so the
Colorado Aggies got credit for the
honor.
Eddie Reynolds, all-university
champion for 1934-35, competed in
all five of the events in all the
matches and came away from the
dust of battle with the highest
score in the Husker ranks and
most of the opposition ranks as
well. The all-round antic master
brought in five firsts, a tie for
first, two seconds and a tie for two
seconds.
Floyd Herman, all-uni. champ
for 1933-34, competed in three
events, horizontal bars, parallel,
bars, and side horse, and got two
firsts, two seconds, and three
thirds. Richard Green, flying rings
ace, took part in three events, and
Edward BignMl and Dick Kelly
tumbling veteran, participated in
two each. Green's acts were the
rings, side horse, and parallel bar,
Bignell's, the rings and tumbling,
and Kelly's, tumbling and the hori
zontal bar.
Coach Miller is angling for a
match with Missouri's gymnasts
for Friday, March 15, altho ar
rangements have not been defi
nitely determined. The all-univer-sitv
rvmnastic carnival will be
heid some time in April.

Oklahoma Coach
Tells Secret of
Fast Cage Team
NORMAN, March 4. "Where
did you get the idea for the quick
breaking offense you teach your
Oklahoma teams?" a reporter
asked Hugh McDermott, Sooner
coach.
The little Scotch-Irishman who
has successfully handled Oklahoma
basketball teams since 1920, was
hunched down behind his desk in
the Sooner fieldhouse. McDer
mott's office is a typical basket
ball one. Pictures of all his teams
hang from the walls. Caging para
phernalia pumps, whistles, lacing
needles, stop watches, suction soles
lie everywhere. The smell of
freshly laundered jersies, socks,
and trunks permeates the room.
"The quick break was forced
upon me," answered McDermott.
"My material at Oklahoma has sel
dom been rugged, and small light
men are out of luck when they run
up against a strong retreated de
fense. So we've had to develop a
system that would hurl our smaller
faster men down upon the enemy
goal before the slower defense
could get set.
"Also, we've always considered
our crowds. We think ORlahoma
fans like speed, action and lots of
scoring. They get a kick out of
watching that ball speed down the
floor and bounce around the hoop.
They don't know or care so much
about defensive playing or screen
ing. I've seen this Demonstrated
in tournaments where the same
crowd showed far more interest
and partisanship in fast high scor
ing games than a better played
game of the low scoring set defen
sive type.
"What was the fastest breaking
team you ever coached?"
"I'd say the Sooners of 1933,
runners-up to Kansas. That was
the year we had such fellows as
Beck, Anderson, Bross, Browning,
Main and 'Doc' LeCrone, most of
them frail, but speedy and able to
handle the ball."
"Who is usually the key player
in a fast breaking attack, the fast
est guard ?"
"Not necessarily. It can be any
man who happens to be in a posi
tion to advance when his team se
cures the ball, throwing three of
our players on two opponents, or
two on one, which improves your
scoring chance."
Drawbacks.
"What is the chief drawback of
a quick breaking attack that isn't
working right?"
"Often players make the mistake
of trying to rush faster than they
can handle the ball. This makes
the game look ragged: A team
must know its playing pace."
"What team you've coached had
the best blocking or screening at
tack?" "Our all victorious team of 1928.
The bunch that had Drake, Chur
chill. Holt, 'Monk' LeCrone and
Norris. Of course all teams, when
the defense is set and playing a
man-for-man, must resort to
screen plays. "But our 1928 five
was big and able to screen. It
broke fast considering Its heft, but
it was mainly a screening team."
"Who was the fastest breaking
player you ever coached?"
"I've had three especially fast
ones. Bruce Drake, Andy Beck
and Bud Browning."
"Who were some of the fastest
breaking.. Ji&. jnejj. you ever
coached ?" -
"Vic Holt Cliff Shearer, Tom
Churchill, Granny Norris, Ed
Waite, 'Monk' LeCrone."
"What opponent consistently de
velops the fastest breaking
teams?"
"Nebraska."
And so McDermott continues to
stand on the quick break. It hasn't
won him many championships, al
though his won and, lost record is
good. But It has garnered him
nearly all the conference scoring
records. The Oklahoma team of
1934 holds the Big Six team scor
ing mark of 39.1 points per game.
The same club set the Big Six rec
ord for a single game, 68 points.
Tom Churchill, Oklahoma '29, set
a Big Six scoring mark of 124
points that has never been sur
passed, although tied once. Vic
Holt, Oklahoma '28, set the mod
ern conference scoring record of
12.44 points per each of 18 games.
And Ed Waite, Sooner center of
1922, made the highest conference
scoring average of all time, 18.92
points per game over a 14 game
span, made when one player could
throw all his team's free throws.
A swiftly moving attack that
ends in scoring Is what the fans
like to see, McDermott believes.
10 PERSHING RIFLES
i
Drill Organization Selects
New Men at Special
Tryouts Tuesday.
Five new pledges were voted
into the Pershing: Rifles, honorary
basic drill organization, at its reg
ular meetine held late Tuesday
afternoon In Nebraska hall. They
are Dale Smith, Floyd Carroll,
Clifford Jones, Earl Hedlund and
Glen Levmaster.
These men were all selected
from the group of ag college stu
dents of Headauarters company
who tried out on Tuesday, Feb. 27,
and who did not have an opportu
nity to take the examinations re
quired for entrance at the first of
the semester. All of the five re
ceived grades of above 90 in the
tests administered by the army
officers, according to Ealon Stan
devan, cantain of the Pershing
Rifles company.
"This is the first time a special
tryout has been held for the ag
college men, and since the Head
quarters coirmanv has a reputa
tion for well drilled soldiers, we
are sure that these new members
will prove a valuable addition to
the group," Captain Standcvan
stated.
The main portion of the meet
ing was spent with drill in prep
aration for an inspection to be
given at 4 o'clock Friday after
noon in front of Nebraska hall by
Colonel Klife of Iowa City, la., the
visiting colonel of the second regi
ment of Pershine' Rifles. It is im
perative that every man attend
this national inspection. Standevan
declared.
A discussion of a suitable date
for the company's annual spring
dinner dance was also held by the
society, and the final details will
be decided upon at the next meet
ing Tuesday when the new pledges
are requested to be present.
Dr. C. K. Lelth, famed Univer
sity of Wisconsin (Madison) geolo
gist, has been awarded the Penrose
medal for outstanding geological
work.
