From thin point tho Hig Six
Iihh begun to take on more of a
Jratrriml aspect than thiit ot a
competitive conference. 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.

into the Greek intramural basket

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

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,

goals, was Acacia's sole threat. :

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.

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.

This fact, though familiar, is far

First, it is the high of any ath

caused raging controversies since
the day it was born.
The former method of contracts
was on the single year plan. The

This low score disgusted'' him so

date, he made 192 out of 200

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

the third row and the brunette in
the fifth.

Coach Miller. "They did remark

I expect a lot from them before

"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."

J. 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.

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.

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.
