SDntfflcIki r By Ed Steeves. Kaiiil)Ii"g On Prof. Robert Douglas Scott chairman of the athletic board of control and dispenser of Shake apeare, found himself favoring one nearly sprained angle as a result of an attempted leap over a small ditch. (Anyhow we thought it was rather choice). The university coliseum was i beehive of activity yesterday morning as the cream of the state's prep cagers poured into the athletic office for their buttons of admission. There were first of all the hand pumps between coaches and figures who had not met since the last state tourney. All the players, out more for the town than the crown, were busy examining the trophies, the floor and the inconceivably high eeiling of the field house. Bernie Scherer, fresh back from pro football, was handling most of the button fastening along with Morris Fisher, freshman basket ball coach. Scherer is looking hig- BER.NIE SCHERER From Lincoln Journal rer than ever. H i s shoulders have grown so broad that we wondered why he didn't cap italize on the. correspondence school muscle building racket. Over his left eye he is wear ing an embroi dered scar ob tained at the mercy of a wayward cleat rt riprwise his face was still free from the marks of the typical pro. It was interesting to watch the lads from the smaller towns wipe the buttered pop corn from their hands and step up with bursting pride to shake hards with their heroes of newsprint, Sam Francis and Lloyd Card well. From a slight study of contes tant exteriors we noticed one of the clues to evolution overlooked by Darwin. It was that of hair cuts. Skipping from the days when the man with the clippers bribes you to sit still on the elevated board across the handles, we find many differences in haircuts. Without exception the man from a class A team had the classiest bob. From class C you found the breed of trim that found one long forgotten cutting job rehashed many times, enough to erase the straggled locks. Many of the preppers wanting to appear as athletes and athletes only, had 'em nearly shaved until the hairs stood up like troops on inspection. Omaha and Hastings were examples of this. Of course, we mean to infer nothing by this for we noticed several of the title inspired youths give some suppressed snickers at our checked sports coat. This Bus Knight of whom we were telling you the other day may be seen in action any day now at the state tournament with the favored Jackson high school. He plays a I center position, two years an state selection in that spot. As we said before Knight intends to attend the University of Nebraska next year. Feeling that there must be others who may give their tal ents to Husker land next sea- BUS KNIGHT son we made From Lincoln Journal. a man to man canvas. Of the foremost cagers of yesterday aft ernoon's play we found several good finds for Morrie Fisher's freshman clan. Al Randall, 6 foot 8 inch center of Omaha South, is probably the most modest fellow we have ever rubbed elbows with. It is a cinch he is the tallest of the tourney, second tallest is Sid Held of Lin coln high. When we asked Ran dall his day's point total, he only replied "I don't know" and stuck to it. A teammate, however, vol unteered that he copped, 14 for high honors against York high. Neither would be say aerinuery or , his hie-er learnin' intentions. i His only quotable quote was, Nebraska is a nice school and I think I like it pretty well." Young Belka of Crete, brother of Bob of Husker gymnastic fame, was the Cardinal mainstay and he is having plans made for him. These are of Doane in Crete. How ever, he swears this will not be and that he will follow his "frere's" route of education. Sid Held of Lincoln will at tend Nebraska. Don Fit, ice forward of Jack son, will also enlist in Fisher's forces next fall. As for the other favored quint, Creighton Frep, its seniors will en roll en masse at Creighton proper. TIllltSDAY.

Johnny Howell made an impressive showing in the ball carrying di vision as he raced tearing through opposing players. He has an im proved style of knee-high running that carries him deeper into enemy territory. It was agreed by the many lin ing the edges of the practice field that: Jones had a certain knack of inciting fight and scrap into his forces the like of which is hard to find. There are few seconds when there is plenty of action with the flurry of dust and scarlet. The blocking, with which the Biffer has been more or less dis pleased, looked better last night than it has all spring.

BEST ASSAILS VIEWS OF NEW EDUCATORS SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (ACP). Assailing educational views of the University of Chicago's Presi dent Hutchins as "counsels of dispair," Dr. Earnest M. Best, new president of Springfield col lege, in his inaugural address sug gested a frank facing of problems as they exist. "President Hutchins of the Uni versity of Chicago would purify and simplify education by a retreat into the narrow intellectualism of scientific research and philosophi cal speculation and leave the world to its fate in 'trades associations,' " said the former McGill university psychology professor. "These proposals are the coun sels of dispair. We have much to learn from the past but in my opinion we must advance by a frank recognition of the central ity of vocational and professional education in modern life. "The defects of vocational edu cation can be remedied by making sure that the schools build good men and good citizens as well as good specialists," conculded Dr. Best.

Omaha South, Fremont Get Thru First Rounds of NHSAA Tourney. Marked by Crete's surprising 27-25 victory over Lincoln, the Nebraska state high school basket ball tournament began its first round of play Wednesday after noon at the coliseum. Lincoln was regarded as a dark horse by many and their defeat adds con siderable to the prestige of the Crete quintet. In the other first round games, the favored teams came through with colors still unsullied. The strong Omaha South squad took York into camp by means of a 40-17 trimming.

My favorite role of 'Brunn hilde' in Wagner's 'Gottcrdammer ung' is a very exacting one. Yet when I am back in my dressing room after I have finished singing, there is nothing I en'oy more than lighting up a Lucky. It is a light smoke so gentle so smooth that it docs not irritate my throat in the least. I agree u'ith the others at the Metropolitan that a light smoke is a wise choice" III W I BRILLIANT SOPRANO OF THE METROPOLITAN OPERA COMPANY A, n independent survey was made recently among professional men and women lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87 stated they personally prefer a light smoke. Miss Lawrence verifies the wisdom of this pref erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices arc their fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro tection of Luckies a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process It's Toasted".
