Weekend lo Compete for Track and
Field Championghip.
A total of 148 Nebraska high
schools have signified tbcir in
tentions to send athletic repre
sentatives to the thirty-fourth an
nual Nebraska High School Ath
letic Association track and field
championships at Memorial stadi
um Friday and Saturday. This is
the largest entry list in state
track history, according to O. L.
Webb, secretary of the NHSAA.
Lincoln hotels will probably be
Jammed when the influx of prep
school athletes begins. NHSAA
officials are working at the task
of housing the throng of expected
high schoolers, during the course
of the two-day meet.
PRELIMS START AT 3.
Preliminaries will start prompt

noon, immediately following the

o'clock Saturday afternoon. Ad-
. lesion charges are 40 cents for
adults and 25 cents for high
school students. Contestants and

dual meet as guests of the uni
versity. 21 Register in Class A.

Blair, Columbus, Fairbury, Grand
Island, Hastings, Kearney, Lex
ington, Lincoln, Jackson, North

Four Scholars
Books; Have You Read Them?
Oldfather, Raysor, Weatherly and Doane Opine That
List of Great Books, Immortal fSovels, Is
Matter of Personal Conjecture.
Either the ten greatest books in all literature or a list of
ten immortal novels is pretty much a matter of personal conjec
ture according to the opinions and information given by lour
men reputed to know their books Dr. C. II. Oldfather, dean of
the college of arts and science
Dr. T M Raysor, chairman or tne
English department, Di A L.
Wpatherlv. minister of the Uni
tarian church, and Librarian Gil
bert H. Doane.
Men Know Students.
The men contacted for this sym
posium, having a constant closeup
view of students, seemed to know
very well that of all the people
who hate to have books stuffed
down their throats, students hate
it the worst. Who was It who said,
"Tell me the books he re-reads
and ril tell vou the manner of
man he is?"
Emphasizing: the qualification
that their lists were probably not
those of the greatest books in the
literature of the world, Scholars
Oldfather and Raysor submitted
suggestions of what, at least, were
great works in the whole field of
writing. Queried on the subject of
immortal novels, Messrs. weain
erly and Doane spoke in the most
enthusiastic of superlatives on a
score of books and finally pared
down their preferences to include
ten novels which they believed
would live.
Oldfather Gives Statistics.
A venture into Dean Oldfather's
office one morning found the tall,
long-headed Intellectual startling
his secretary with statistics on the
number of books published in
Great Britain and America in the
years 1934 and '35. His calcula
tions showed that a total of 23,
632 b:ks, exclusive of new edi
tions, were published in the two
countries last year. More than
two-thirds of these 16,678 first
saw print across the water.
Thinking our question concern
ing the ten greatest books would
bring a gasp or a smile from one
who knew so well how many books
there were, we posed it. neverthe
less. "So you want a list of the ten
greatest books?" snorted the one
time tennis champion of two
states as he reached for a pencil
and a pad. "When you have named
the first four of five," he solilo
quized, "it becomes largely a met
ter of Individual opinion."
Dean Chooses I Iliad.
Showing an enviable familiarity
with immortal literature, Dr. Old
father called Plato's Republic too
idealistic, stated that lasting lit
erature had to keep Its feet on
the ground, and evolved the follow
ing list of great books:
Homer I Iliad.
Dante Divine Comedy.
Shakespeare Three or four
tragedies (probably Hamlet, Mac
beth, Othello, and King Lear).
Goethe No specification (prob
ably Faust).
Horace Odes.
Sophocles Oedipus Rx.
The Bible.
Cervantes Don Quixote.
Machiavelli The Prince.
Rousseau Social Contract.
"Young man. I don't feel that
such a list would have .much sig
nificance," was the kindly hut
Xcrsuasive retort of bespectacled

A second call on this lover of
literature, who has a portion of

the republican "brain trust" has
already proven a dud strategically,
and is being pushed into the back
ground by Fletcher for the time
being at least, the very fact that
it was called into existance for
political purposes is significant,
because it indicates a tendency In
the coming campaign for party
managers to use every possible
kind of ammunition against the
other side, including voodoo and
witchcraft. In this particular case
the republicans hired a set of
economists who they hoped would
look the new deal over analyti
cally and then lay a curse on it
In the form of an array of with
ering statistics and a blighting an
alysis. Being on the whole a con
servitive group of economists
there's not much doubt that they
will produce just that, and In ad
dition something that will read

ACACIAS TRIUMPH
OVER BETAS 9-7
Intramural Final Play-Off
Ends Greek Sports
Program.
Staving off a last Inning rally
of the Beta Theta Pi nine, which
fought desperately to overcome an
early margin, the Acacias were
crowned intramural king of swat
with a 9-7 tally. The game, played
without the services of Marvin
Plock, ace pitcher of the victors
and entire Greek campaign, was
a tight one all the way out, with
the score knotted five all In the
third.
Chase Pitches.
The Acacias beginning with
Chase on the mound started off
like an angered tornado breezfng
in five runs before the Betas were
hardly settled, the latters called
a halt to such goings on In short
order with alternating chuckers of
Wahlquist and Whltaker.
For two innings the five all
statistics stood with efficient out
fields being largely responsible for
the short order work. A little
later, however, with Ulstrom hurl
ing, the Acacias started popping
them all over the place and
grabbed off a four point lead that
won them the ball game. .
Hanson Homer's.
The Betas last sign of life came
In their last bats as Kerm Hansen
drove In two runs with his homer.
Smith and Mackinnzie did the
most for the trophy winners' cause
with two runs apiece bolstered
considerably by Krelg on the sec
ond sack who caught 'em like a
funnel and was responsible for
three double play for the losers.
Hansen and Woolery looked
best for the losers.
The win puts Acacias at the top
of the sweep stake statistics and
the probable winner of the cup for
all sports, however, they still have
the Betas and Sigma Nus to deal
with should the unexpected come
forth.

Heretofore It was necessary for

have completed (nothing said as to
the grade) at least 27 hours in the
previous two semesters.
Under the new regulations, the

"Drop your red shirts and I'll

W. H. Browne yesterday afternoon
to his cage proteges as they de
cended to the dressing room after
the Reds soundly spanked the
Whites 54-42 in the Ust of the

Led by Bob Parsons, Bob El

baskets almost at will and played
air-tight defense In a way that
was most fitting to close the late
season. The game was played
without the services of Paul Amen,
Elmer Dohrmann, and Howard
Baker who left Wednesday for a
baseball trip.
For the Whites It was Werner
and Harry Sorenson who were
clicking at a burning pace. Play
was allotted according to ten mm

available man and combination a
chance to strut its stuff in the

K-Ag TruekMers Make Last Attempt lo Hult Hunker
Advance in Dual IMert Friday in
Memorial Studiuni.
Now that "Stop Nebraska!" has
become the watchword of Big Six
circles, conference track and field
attention will be centered upon
Memorial stadium Friday after
noon when Kansas State will make
the final attempt to halt Coach
Henry F. "Pa" Schulte's steam
rolling track team.
Time of the dual meet has been
advanced to 1 o'clock in order to
clear the stands before the state
track and field championships.
This will be the last dual meet be
fore the crucial Big Six conference
championships bee next week,
and the winner of Friday s dual
will probably be crowned Big Six
champ.
Kansas "Tough Team."
"Kansas State will be harder
than Oklahoma, "Coach "Pa"
Schulte mourned Wednesday, "and
they have the toughest team in
the valley." Coach Schulte expects
the Wildcats to give the Huskers
the strongest competition of the
season, and after weighing the
possible strength of both teams,
the dual meet will be staged be
tween two fine and evenly bal
anced track and field aggregations.
The K-Aggies boast of a well
balanced team that has unusual
power In Nebraska's weaker
events. The high jump, pole vault,
Javelin, and several cinderpath
events will probably go to the
