Khiishn In again fiddling while the rent of the conference burns Hi the thought of them ngaln being from Mt. Oread. At the first of the season It wrh an wide open as a hippopotamus' yawn with odds that the Jays had nillen from their long; stand on the top rung;. Kansas Slate, Missouri, and Ok lahoma were all given chnnces along with our own Hunkers. After the holiday trip CorcIi Browne found that ho was the father of five bouncing, dribbling, pivotln'g and clever lads nnd the picture looked plenty rosy for Nebraska lund. However, take a look now. Al len has given hie men that in jection of vitality and the Hawk ers are spraying defeat all over the universe. What ever the vic tory position may be, the Mt. Oread tossers havo been taking It by the cupful In the last few weeks. If the Huskers loos next Friday to the second place Ok lahomans they may as well r.it in as a fourth at bridge with Iowa, tho Haggles, and Missouri, If they win, Okahloma may as well kibitz, for thsy will then b5 out of the titular race. One of the Ripley morsels of tho athletic world comes from the storm cellars of the Iowa Cyclones. With over 100 athletes competing in six months of assorted ath letics, not a one has bein chewed upon by the scholarship bug. Tho success in book "larnin" they attribute to the close con tact to the theletes' instructors. Regular trips are made to the tutors' offices and athletes in scholastic fogs are properly ser moned by the coaches. This ever-dribbling bit concern ing D. X. Bible still rages. Yesterday Miko Parks, featured sports cartoonist in the Omaha Bee. made one of the cleverest summaries in coaching revolution ever seen by this writer. The drawing which blanketed three fourths of a page, showed several significant scenes of the new mentor finances originated hy Dip lomat Bible with his $15,000 con tract. In one corner of the facetious Illustration, a night seeing bus was meandering down the street with the crier pointing out a castle on the right as J. Oscar Stuff's, the football coach, summer home. In another, a huge armored car was dumping vast numbers of money sacks into a safe guarded by government militia. One uni formed figure was remarking: "I didn't know there was that much dough In the world." Another replied shaply, "There isn't; that's tha coach's salary." The driver was hurrying the process along so that they could return for the remained of the grid pilot's wages. A third corner was devoted to the resignation of a bank presi dent who was accepting a football eoachship in order to "get into the money." Probably the high point of the entire cartoon depicted a coach ing aspirant being skeptical of a $165,000 contract with a first mortgage on the university as security. In a small box, Parks wrote finis to his master commentating sketch with a couple of profs dis- piois ui.i- cussing the merits of giving j HOOT SHOW 111 iriKOIlouirn liaa.i in order to get a "crowd." Though the drawing reeks with flippant humor it shows us well how the little colonel is boosting coaching from the "jobal" strata into the professional. Or perhaps "coach'' will soon denote a title of royalty. All-University Boxing Meet Feb. 11 Attracts Grid Stars.

I KIWUIAKV Greeks End League Play DELIS, PI KAPS, ATO, BETA HE DIVISION TITLES Sirjma Nu Challenges 'Zip' Players' Eligibility; League Undecided. By Bob Orcibus. Delta Tail Delia, Pi Kappa Al pha, Alpha Tau Omega, and Beta Theta Pi projected themselves into the Greek intramural basket ball limelight as they swept through last night's games and won their respective league cham pionships with nary a defeat on their collective records. Not so fortunate were the quin tets in Leagu Five as three teanm nominated themselves for ths league title pending the outcome of a protested contest. Sigma Phi Kpsilon and ,i P.si Phi hold per centage advantages while Sigma Nu has lodged a protest with in tmnuiral heads over the eligibil ity of a Zip player. Brock Leads Delts. Again it was the husky Charley Brock who led the Delts to a win as he tossed In nine points while his teammates were garnering five in their 14-10 win over the Alpha Sigs. A win for the H street lads would have meant a tie with the Dolts for the league title, but after a momentary burst of scoring at the outset of the game they were clearly outclassed by the marks manship of Brock and his helpers. High scorers for the Alpha Sigs were Palmer with fivu and Rich ardson with four. Vieing for consolation honors that go with last place in the league, Acacia proved to Theta Chi that it was much more adept at losing and proceeded to drop its fourth game of the. current series by a 9-5 score. Bailey was high scorer for the winners with three, while Bond with a pair of field ; goals, was Acacia's sole threat. : Vhi Clio-ma U'annn rlnwnn.l Plii I Gamma Delta 2-0 via the forfeit route as the losers failed to put in their appearance. Pi Kappa Alpha and Beta Sig ma Psi tangled in what was to be the best game of the evening as th?y struggled through the regu lation period an dtwo extra ses sions before a winner could be de termined. The Pi Ka A's emerged a 13-11 winner.

League three honors went to Alpha Tau Omega as ihey crushed a hapless Kappa Sigma five by a 2012 score in a slow game. Pavey and Ramey scored six counters apiece for the winners. Moore saved the Kappa Sigs from a whitewash as he tossed in a lono field goal. Chi Phi relegated the cellar po sition in the same league to Sigma Alpha Mu by the overwhelming score of 27-2 as Lyon and Spencer Iteamed for 18 points to lead the scoring. Woolf scored the two points garnered by tho Sammies. Entering the final evenings competition without a defeat marr ing the record of cither team, Beat Theta Pi walked ol with the league four crown as they edged out the Phi Delts by a 14-8 score. Iji a fast game, the Betas proved themselves to be maple artists as Tassie and MacGuire sank a brace of goals to lead the attack.

Townley Leads Sig Nus. Manking on the opinoin that their forfeiture protest will be al lowed, Sigma Nu remained in the league live running as they pounded out o G2 to 10 win over Zeta Beta Tau. Townley dropped in ten points for the Sigma Nu's while teammates Thomas and Scott were snaring six counters each. Becker headed the scoring for the Z. B. T.'s with seven points. Xi Psi Phi toppled the Sig Alphs 9-8 to tie for the League Five lead along with the Sig Eps and Sicma Nu. Two men acounted for the bulk of the scoring while their teammates were content with feed ing the ball to them. Fate scored seven times for the losers while Mutt) scored all of the winners counters. With Barb competition slowly drawing to a close, the Panthers and Toreadors remained in the running for the olive weath as thev emerged victors in last night's games. tj Ny x isj com 9, 1937. o- SLIPS BETWEEN MAKE CAGE Wilfred llclzrl, naskrlhall-Mindpcl Ontleinan, Flips In Free Throws With ICyes Open or Shut, With One Hand, on One Log. By Bruco Campbell. The next, lime you step up to tho free throw line, put both feet on the floor, grasp the basket ball with two hands, and look at the basket with both eyes open, just remember that you are doing it the easiest way. Perhaps you are wondering what other way you could shoot. Personally, I wouldn't know, hut I have here beside my typewriter a handy little All Sports Record Book. This book contains more interesting facts than a world almanac, a family Bible, and Mary Astor's diary thrown into one unabridged edi tion. Free throw records, for In stance. If you think there is only one way to shoot free throws, you don't know what you're missing (not counting the basket). Every Conceivable Position. A basketball minded gentleman named Wilfred Hetzel has shot free throws while standing on one leg, with one eye open, and with one hand. Standing on his left foot only but using both hands and eyes he has connected 53 straight times. While playing stork on his right foot, he made 38 eight straight free throws. With both feet on terra firma and both eyes closed, Wilfred pushed 20 (count 'em, 20) successive shots thru the hoop. Then, with both I feet on the floor and his left eye closed, Willie ran up 42 successive pointers. His left eye proved more, fallible, however, as he only made 18 straight with his right eye closed. One Handed Shot. Striving for variety, hoopster Hetzel tried standing on both feet and shooting with one hand. The result was 14 straight. Resuming his stork-like habits, our hero shot with one hand and got 15 straight. Shifting his weight to his right s Husker Tumblers Lose First Of Seven Duals to Iowa 63-42. Coach C. E. Miller's gymnasts dropped their first of seven dual meets of the season by taking the small end of a 63-42 score from Iowa university last Saturday af ternoon at Iowa City. Eugene Wettstein, all around champion of the Big Ten in 1935, was the out standing performer for the Iowans, bringing in three firsts, one each, on the horizontal bar, side horse and flying rings. Reynolds and Bignell were the standouts for the Cornhuskers. Reynolds captured the greatest number of points for Nebraska with a first on the parallel bars, a second on the horizontal bars and side horse, a third on the fly ing rings. He lost a first on the side horse by one heart breaking point. Bignell showed real class in the tumbling event, losing to Nisen, the intercolelgiate champion of last year. Pleased With Showing. "Though we were beaten by Iowa, I was well pleased with the Little Colonel's Salary Arouses Furor in National Grid Circles: Educators Resent Athletic Pay Reputed That Bible to Get $15,000 Stipend Per Annum. Those bombs vou hear bursting over every athletic department tnruout tne country were set off by our former D. X. Bible. As has been often recited Bible reputedly received a ten year contract for $15,000 per annum. This fact, though familiar, is far more significant than it appears. First, it is the high of any ath letic professor. Second, it has caused raging controversies since the day it was born. The former method of contracts was on the single year plan. The contract was continued yearly so long as the coach proved his worth. Bald little Bible hopped in and grabbed off a ten year stay. From this sprang many other long er termed con tracts since every school be gan to have hal lucinations o f their coaches leaving. In the category of salary, the average was 8 to 10 thousand, but Bible snatch ed $15,000.

This low score disgusted'' him so he quit showing off and shot even aa you nnd I. In this commonplace manner, Wilfred made 112 con secutive free throws. At a later date, he made 192 out of 200 chances. 49!) Straight Throws. He has been surpassed in the matter of ordinarily thrown suc cessive free throws. A certain Harry "Bunny" Leavltt made 409 successive free throws in the pres ence of 4,000 spectators and the A. A. U. basketball committee. A good man, in his free throwing way, hut he did not possess the versatility of Wilfred Hetzel. Het zel could have a black, swollen eye, a broken arm, and a frac tured leg and still connect for more consecutive free throws than any dead-eye Dick of the Big Six, or Nebraska intramural eager either, for that matter. He accom plished the forenamed feats in 19U5 and consequently has had something over a year in which to practice. It will not surprise me, therefore, to read in the 1937 edition of Frank G. Menke's All Sports Record Book that Wilfred Hetzel has made 15 successive free throws while lying on his back and shooting with first his right foot and then his left; 13 succes sive shots when sitting down on his right thumb nnd left thumb alternately, shooting with his right and left hand alternately, and with his right and left eyes al ternately winking at the blonde in the third row and the brunette in the fifth. I, personally, have made a New Year's resolution not to free throw fancy like, since I pat myself on the back every time I make one in succession. showing my boys made," stated Coach Miller. "They did remark ably well for the first showing and I expect a lot from them before the season endss." "We are weakest in tumbling and the side horse," he said, "but I was very much encouraged with the showing Reynolds and Bignell made last Saturday." Meet Gophers Here. The Husker gymnasts will have their chance to perform before home fans next Friday night, Feb. 12. at 7:30 o'clock, in a dual meet with Minnesota. No admission will be charged and every one is en couraged to attend. This is a comparatively new sport at Ne braska, as the meet with Minne sota next Friday night is the first dual meet ever to be held at Ne braska. A view of the nature of these meets has been shown be tween halves at two of the Ne braska basketball games, which were so popular with Nebraska fans.

From the little colonel's ac tions, many coaches in other schools profited and collected j larger dividends. j Also from this sum going to I Bible arose a feud between pro- ' fessor and coach, whether the ' coach deserved the shekels From this final attack, however, sprang one good. It has now been generally agreed that chancellors and their subordinates the coun try thru are underpaid and thus many of their checks are to be stretched.

MATHER LEADS TO TRI COLOR WIN Arapahoe Freshman Takes Three Firsts; Kahler Performs Well. Lead by its brilliant captain, Jim Mather, the Green team cap tured the first of a series of tri color track meets held yesterday under the east stadium by amass ing 40 1-2 points. The Red out fit, with Bob Kahler at the Rteer ing wheel, took second with 36 1-2 counters, while Capt. Bill Pfciff's Orange clan was just one half socre behind them. Mather, the greatest track find since the heydays of Roland Locke, showed his avidness in hon ors taking as he took firsts in the 50 yard low hurdles, the. 50 yard sprint and the broad jump. Kahler, Grand Island's gift to the Corn husker institution, was runnerup to Mather in the garnering of gar lands, taking a first in the high jump, second in the 50 yard high hurdles and a fourth in the 50 yard low hurdles. In the closest chase of the con test. John Goetze, wearing the green banner, nosed out Jack Cal non, of the orange clique, by the narrow margin of two inches in the 440 yard event. He was timed at 55:4, and exhibited the style and grace of such varsity runners as Les Pankonin and Bob Morris in earning this clocking. Ott Gives Mather a Run. Beverly Ott. freshman from San Fernando. Calif., gave Jim Mather a merry chase in the 50 yard dash before the latter put on a spurt to lead at the finishing tape to grab a first in a 5:7 recording. At the bark of the starting pistol, the Orange performer obtained a narrow lead on Mather but the Green helmsman's celerity proved to be just a little too much for Ott. Bill Pfeiff. ex-Lincoln high ath lete, noncha'antly took first in the shot put by sailing the iron ball 41 feet 3 1-2 inches, nosing out Jack Ashburn of the Red team by almost four inches.
