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-

rer than ever.
H i s shoulders
have grown so
broad that we
wondered why
he didn't cap

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

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.

there must be

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.

Placements still sailed the
stadium ether as Coach "Biff
Jones continued his kickoff funda
mentals drill yesterday. Herm
Rohrig, sophomore find, was still
doing most of the kicking.
Wednesday's drill, one of Jones'
usual intensive workouts, started
off with the indispensable calis-
thentics followed by eleven men
charging up and down the field.

The Biffer'a newest stress, that
of the kickoff, is done using

Howell Improves.
A stiff, scrappy scrimmage
capped the sweat-packed workout.
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.

Noted Metropolitan Opera Star
finds Luckies easy on her precious throat
5s Marinrie Lawrence says:
"You must have a big voice to sing
Wagner. 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"

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
