FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 193S. THE DAILY NERRASKAN THREE . BIBLEMEN STAGE FINAL TUSSLE OF SPRING SATURDAY If Weather Permits, Gridmen Close Drills With Game In Stadium. Cornhusker football critics will get their last prevue of Ne braska's 1936 gridiron machine this Saturday, unless Old Man Weather falls into another of his tempestuous moods and throws a monkey wrench into the mechan ism. According to the Husker coch ing staff, the Memorial stadium front yard is in shape to stage the final contest of the spring training .season unless another rain makes the field too soggy for play. Except for an outstanding drill Monday afternoon, the week's football tactics have been limited to the dirt oval under the east stadium, which is a pretty narrow boundary for a football player anx ious to go someplace. Saturday afternoon's grand fi nale promises to furnish an outlet for the touchdown enthusiasm manifest in Coach Dana X. Bible's football camp. "The team is in fine shape," stated the overlord of Husker football after the indoor workout Thursday afternoon, 'and Saturday should bring a bang-up scrap." It oxer $ Asked to File For April Meet ISoic An All-Unlverity boxing tournament will be held the latter part of April, accord ing to an announcement by Harold Ostran, university boxing coach. All students wishing to enter must do so at once as every ;-',tetant must have two weks prepa ration before the meet. Inter ested parties should contact Petz or Ostran.

See theml COLLEGE SHOP WHERE OH WHERE IS THE SUN, WAIL 'PA'S' GINDERMEN Husker Mentor Frets Over Continuation of Bad Track Weather. FOUR CONTESTS AHEAD Scarlet Aces Can't Prepare For Coming Outdoor Engagements. By ARNOLD LEVIN. ' The "Indian" looked up and said: ." What d'yuh know?" "Not much, coach," 1 re sponded. "That's what 1 canio here to find out. What's new?" Henry K. Schulte glanced over hia sub-stadium track domain, gazed out the paneled upper win dows at R. O. T. C. cadets in cramped parade, and spat out: "The weather is (censored ." I agreed. "M men can't get out," he boomed, j'l just have to sit here an" hope an' pray that somethin' happens before next week so they can get ready for the Kansas re lays. Our hands are tied until it Jets' up and we can get outdoors again." "So you're goin' to Kansas?". "Yes, full squad if we can." If his cindermcn can get in shape, the Husker mentor hopes to take a team of 24 or 25 men to Lawrence April 20 for the Kansas re'ays. But this necessitates the return of Old Sol and his warming influences to Cornhuskerland, and from all appearances the sunshiny gentleman has decided to take a long vacation. "Anythin" outstanding in prepa ration for the meet?" Coach Schulte looked up and grunted: "Only the weather." Then he relented somewhat. "But you might say something about Glenn Funk. He ran three fourths of a mile in 3:11 yester day." Versatile Funk. Funk is "Pa" Schulte's distance man, and, as such, is counted on for a place in the mile or two mile in the Jayhawk meet. While the shorter run is his specialty, he dou bles for both when the occasion demands. "How d'yuh feel, Cardy?" Schulte asked a well built, good looking athlete. Lloyd Cardwell, prancing up and down a short stretch on the 60 yard straightaway, stopped and trotted over to his coach's chair. "Okay." "Feel like goin'?" "Yeah." "Take a few starts and then run a 60." Cardy trotted to the other end of the stadium, dug starting holes in the soft ground and looked ex pectantly at Harold Petz, assist ant coach. Petz called for Daw son, lined them up at the starting ilne, and sent the pair chasing down the runway over and over again. Not any of the Husker squad were out. A few huskies swung around the oval, preparing for time trials. Tryouts for the team which will carry the Scarlet and Cream col ors at Lawrence will take place Saturday, probably indoors. If the cinder outdoor track dries, the trials will take place on it. Coach Schulte moved his chair to the white line marking the end of the 60-yard measured straight away. Harold Petz lined up his sprinters at the other end, and in serted cartridges in his blank starting pistol. The racers broke on their first trial, again on the Jozkzu nd Originated by f to affdrd the utmost in comfort for work, play or drais. A new idea.

TtarU activities in the Husker camp are tampered right now by lack of taciiities ror outdoor gain ing. The cinder track is smeared with middles of water and the ground of Memorial stadium is too soft for field men to practice. Fred Chambers, javelin thrower who took second in the Texas relays, has been unable to jet out since his return. He slij.ped while making hi? placing mrow oi in feet, and has been nuising a bruised shoulder since. Speed Injured. Coach Schulte is still undecided about using the speedy "Speed" Jacobson at Lawrence for the 100 vard dash. The Trenton, Mo., flash nulled a muscle in his leg and has taken things easy. Huskers will enter tne h&u yara relay and 440 yard medley race for sure at Kansas, with the possi bility of adding other relay events. The teams for these two races will be chosen from Kenneth rhnnman. Llovd Cardwell. .lark McGarrough, Harold Jacobsen, and Lester Pankonin. Stai tinir with the Kansas relays, the Nebraska scantyclads have a full schedule every weekend. The Drake relays are slated for April 26-27; a trinagular with Kansas States and Kansas at Manhattan, Kas., for May 4; an outdoor dual with Oklahoma May 11; and the Missouri valley iniercouegiaie Athletic association track and field championships May 17-18.

NORMAN, April 11. What's he like? Does he give seniors a fair shake? Does he carry lots of men on his trips? What system does he use?" These are a few of the questions Oklahoma football players pro pound as they eagerly await the arrival of Capt. Lawrence "Biff" Jones, new Sooner football coach, who will come to Norman about April 20 to get acquainted with his players and conduct a short signal clinic. Several of the Oklahoma play ers fought hard for the retention of Lewie Hardage and John "Bo" Rowland, their old coaches, whom I hey thought weren't being fairly treated. But they aren't the type to hold grudges and now that a new mentor is in the saddle, they say they'll give him the same loy alty and support they showed the outgoing coaches. Jones' appointment has caused a sharp renewal of interest in foot ball at Oklahoma. Several players daily haunt the practice field. Pat Page, 200 pound back, suits up daily and spends an hour pun ishing the blocking dummy. Babe Wood, freshman back, dons a uni form and kicks and passes to whomever he can get to shag the football. Announcement that Captain Jones is a devotee of the double wingback formation was good news to all the players, since this formation is easily the most popular used among Oklahoma high schools today and Sooner players, most of whom grew up with it in high school, are glad to see its return. Captain Jones will find twenty lettermen and a well schooled freshmen crop awaiting him, all of whom are anxious to meet him. He'll find Sooner players just like any other players. They like to be led. They like discipline if it's ad ministered by a coach who is fair and whom they are confident knows his stuff. And if they like and respect a coach for his per sonal qualities, they'll ngni ineir heads off for him. DEPUTATION TEAM 10 EASIER SERVICE Woodruff, Reutzel Speak At Grace Church Sunday.

The Iowa State college baseball team turned out to practice today in prepara tion for the toughest schedule as signment in recent years. The im mediate schedule calls for five games in six days with the Uni versity of Nebraska, State Teach ers college and Upper Iowa. The Cyclone nine presented Coach Joe Truskowskl, in his first season as a major college base ball coach, with a 19-2 victory over Simpson college. The squad leaves soon for Cedar Falls, where it will face the Peda gogues in the afternoon. The team will journey on to Fayette, playing Upper Iowa Friday afternoon, and return to Cedar Falls for a return game Saturday afternoon. With a short rest on Sunday, the State aggregation will face the Corn huskers in a two-game series Mon day and Tuesday. The new Iowa State master ex pressed himself as being satisfied with the early season showing made by the boys in the Methodist game. Specially gratifying, was the work of the spohomores who fill key positions on the team. Maurice Johnson, Le Grand, third baseman, was one t of the leading hitters, while Maurice London, Voville, sophomore right fielder, scored two of the Cyclone tallies. August Krause, Fenton, a catcher on the freshmen team, and trans ferred ot second base this spring, turned in a good all-around game as did Clarence Gustlne, another sophomore outfielder from Mo ville. Snider Alt, rangy newcomer from Des Moines, turned in a good performance on the mound, when he relieved Torvald Holmes, Gil bert veteran. Bert Aldrich, Ruthven, short stop, and Waldo Wegner, Everly, outfielder, joined with Johnson to turn in the outstanding hitting performances in the Simpson game. The team as a whole turned in an average of .340 at bat, and was credited with only four errors, despite tho fact that it was the first game, and played in chilly weather. Practices this week will be largely devoted to finding two other pitchers who can be used in some of the five games over the week end. Holmes and Alt will be the first two men used on the road, and it is probable that Glen Smaha, Le Grand sophomore, and Bob Scott, Maxwell reserve from last yaer, will rank third and fourth. There is also a slight pos sibility that Smaha might see service in London's right field post. E L 11 Honor Group Gives Dinner For New Members at City Y.W.C.A. Pi Lambda Theta, national ed ucational honorary society, held an initiation service for twenty-seven girls Wednesday evening at the city Y. W. C. A. A dinner and pro gram meeting followed the initia tion service ,at which the new members were guests. Miss Ruby Schwemley was in charge of the arrangements. ALLEN AIMS FOR NEW Oklahoma Trackster Points For Low Mark in Annual Kansas Relays. LAWRENCE, Kas. The hurdler who changes his form by going over the hurdles with both hands forward instead of one, will come to fhe Kansas relavs Anril 20 with the hope of bettering his mark of last year when he topped the 120 yard high sticks in 14.4 to equal tne recoras or seniman oi uiinom nnrt thi lnfp flooree Saline' of Iowa. This hurdler is Sam Allen of Oklahoma Baptists, who has al ready this season done the distance in 14..V A week aeo Saturday, at th Texas relays. Allen cut a half tecond from the Texas record, bringing it to 14.3, both in the pre liminaries and in the finals. Track critics had called Allen s for nprfect. but Coach Victor Hurt was not satisfied, and continued his investigations. He noted that most hnrlers bent over the bars with one hand extended forward and the other back, and then re versed the hands for the next hurdle. He felt that the time and effort required to bring the trail ing hand forward took time from the race-fractions of a second, but multiplied by the number of hur dles. Accordingly, Coach Hurt per suaded Allen to change his form, and apparently the change is bringing results. Kansas State is going to be represented in practically every event of the Kansas Relays except the short dashes, and among not able athletes will have Capt. Joe Knappenberger, outstanding hurd ler, Justus O'Reilly, of Girard, miler and half miler, who holds the college indoor mile record at 4:20.6, and expects to do around 4:17 outdoors; and Paul Fanning of Melvem, who put the discus 142 feet 7 inches to take fourth at the Texas relays. The University of Iowa is Bend ing to the Kansas Relays Jimmy Owen, sprinter who has done the 100 in 9.7, and the 220 in 21.6. March 2 he ran sixty yards in 6.1 against Missouri bettering the accepted American record. He is also the Iowa intercollegiate in door champion at seventy yards. DR.
