The Life of A Sports Fan 4 By Ed Steevet. We thought you would like to know the diligence with which the Daily Nebraakan sports staff seeks your news. Last Saturday Coach Biff Jones was staging his debut In the way of football scrimmage. The day was cold and the going was tough for the inactive fan or sports scribe in the stands. One half went by and no scores were made. The little band of sports representatives from papers over the state, including the "rag," huddled together and wished in unison that the game would end, This writer facetiously suggested that we go home after the first score and writeup the game with one score no matter how it came out. "There's no sense in standing cut here in the cold," we joked, The first score was made and etill the "rag" staff stayed on The second score came and the game ended, with us nearly frozen tiiru, and with a score of 13-0, fieds. It was not until the next morning when we read the pa pers that we found the other scribes had taken us at our word, gone home to their com forting fires, and witten the game up as a 6-0 win. The "Dally Nebraskan" was the only sheet that carried Rohrlg's sec ond touchdown and the correct 13-0 score. See? It was because of the many ver sions of rules interpretations by various coaches in various parts of the United States. To travel from one locality to another for cage competition last season almost re quired an interpreter. It's like playing in two different languages. It was to this that the Huskers rightly attributed their lack of success on the eastern boards. Had the easterners invaded the middle west, 110 doubt the Nebras kans would have come out on top, for every home team picks its of ficial. Next year we are promised a new deal as Uncle Sam's cage teachers vow to have a rule mak ing party, the like of which has never been before. The result is to be a unified set of rules to blanket the entire sportsdom. In the Denver A. A. U. basket ball tournament, where not the cream, but the whipping cream of the crop goes, Nebraska has one team enter ed and after two rounds they are still enter ed. The quint is the Woodmen Accident clan. Its members are all from the city of Lincoln and most of them have at least dabbled in education here at the Universi ty. Starring for VlftGlltELKIN -Onurtfsy last night was Virgil Yelkin, Husk er gridder and president of the N club. Some of the other former Huskers are Herod Miller, Sheldon Davey, and Mutt Davidson.

J! 5 ' r WEDNESDAY, MARCH SPRING GRIDDERS HOLD SCRIMMAGE STRESS PUNTING Major Jones Puts Huskers Thru Stiff Drill on Fundamentals. Coach L. M. Jones fired his foot ball forces through a full evening of dummy scrimmages yesterday afternoon as he continued to Ham mer the anvil of fundamentals. A welcome chilly spell found every Husker on the firing line with plenty of action. Jones continues to play his usual lineups and places the first eleven opposing the second. This plan differs from former Coach D. X. Bible's in that Bible matched the freshmen against the varsity. Anderson Injured. More stress is now being given the punting department of the de. velonine eleven. Foremost kick ers of the squad are now Thurston Phelps, Harris Andrews, Herm Rohrig, and Johnny Howell. Bill Anderson, the best quick kicker of the squad, is missing from prac tice due to a badly injured fore arm. To date Jones has two formid able forward walls for next fall's action. He can line, with equal confidence, any of the following men: Ends, Dohrmann, Amen, Richardson, or Boschult: tackles Dovle, Shirey, Schwartzkopf, or Mills; guards, Mehring, English, Peters, Dobson, or Pfeiff; centers, Ramey or Brock. Backfield, Howell, Dodd, Rohrig, Andrews, Plock, Mather, Mcllravy, Phelps, Ball, or Anderson, Jones Finds Improvement. All lays thus far have been from the double or single wingback formation. Last night Jones seemed pleased with the improve ment of the squad, as he ironed out flaws committed in last Sat urday's scrimmage. In a short scrimmage Saturday afternoon, the tentative Varsity eleven blanketed the second team, 13-0. POLITICS REFORM MEASURE TO FACE VITAL VOTE TODAY (Continued from Page 1.) stated, "I think that instead of soft-pedaling politics it will lead to greater intensification of fac tional activity." Substantiating his argument Betty Van Home, Junior member of the council, answered that "although no one will deny that campus politics should be cleaned up, and anyone interested in the problem would willingly support any measure that could effect such an improvement, I think the proposed plan is all very silly." Rather than achieve the end its proponents intend for it. it would undoubtedly result in an even worse political problem." A member of the committee who has led the drive to amend the political situation, asked that his name be withheld from publica tion, and answered opposition to the proposal by stating that, "It seems to me that the plan as pro posed is a means to clean up our city, political situation. The only opponents to the plans are those politicians who are interested in its defeat because of political am bitions.':' Marsh Willing to Try. Bill Marsh, treasurer of the council and member of the investi gatory committee, seemed less en thusiastic over the proposal than the above proponent as he stated "Whether or not it will work no body knows. But I am in favor of trying it, and because of that hope it will go thru the council successfully in the final vote. We certainly have nothing to lose, and if there is any gain to be had only thru trving it, the least we can do is give it a try." Women on the council seemed to be rather undecided on the whole affair, althc It seemed to be the general attitude of the major ity that as long as there is noth ing to lose we might as well give It a try. Marylu Petersen, vice president of the council who took the chair during the last meeting while Mr. Levm debated from the floor, stated that "it seems to be a system under which council posi tions will be filled with men of merit rather than the most popu lar 'Joes!" Eleanor Clizbe asserted that while she could see no possi ble chance for improvement under the prosopal so far as men were concerned, she thought that it would at least have a beneficial ef fect among women voters. Kay Hendy, seemed most def initely opposed to the bill among the women of the council, as she stated that since there was no proof that the proposal would work toward the betterment of the political situation, she could see no need for discouraging further moves toward reform which would be the inevitable result if the pro posal was tried and failed.

(Continued from Page 1.) himself prominent in debate, but showed little leaning toward dra matic art. Works as Stage Hand. After graduation Ballard for sook Lincoln for the Chicago legi timate stage on which he moved furniture and shifted scenes. For two years he learned the techni que of the drama from backstage, then, with this first hand informa tion he entered Harvard to study in Georsre Pierce Baker's 47 Work shop, made famous by such alumni as Mr. Ballard. Leavine Harvard, Ballard car ried with him to New York the Prague prize of $500 for his hilari ous comedy, "Believe Me, Xan tippe." Other signal successes fol lowed as "Ladies of the Jury" and "Young America." Players Get Start. To Fred Ballard goes the credit for giving the University Players the start that has enabled them to complete their 21st year. "Believe Me, Xantippe," chosen as the sec ond production of the new Univer sity Players in 1916, was a play of such great popularity that it had a run of 21 showings on the Nebraska campus. The first ap pearance of the players in 'Ghosts' had been limited to only one per formance as were all college plays at the time. 'Believe Me, Xantippe.' Since the success of "Believe Me, Xantippe," the players have taken care to present many of Ballard's br lliant comedies, in tne players produced "Young Amer ica" which proved so popular that they presented it on request to the war camp at Fort Dodge. "Ladies of the. Jury," the play that Bal lard wrote for the preat actress, Mrs. Fiske, has been shown re peatedly by the group at the Tem ple theater. Mr. Ballard himself attended the University Players' version of this comedy. The fourth Ballard show pre sented by the University Players is now showing at the Temple the ater. "The Senator's Husband is the new farcial comedy which re cently had a midwest premiere at the Omaha Community Playhouse. The players are the second group to produce this play which will soon be filmed. Mr. Ballard now divides his time between New York City, his home at Petersboro New Hampshire, Hollywood where he sometimes is employed as a ghost-writer, and Lincoln, where he frequently visits hia parents and old friends. More than 200 foreign students are enrolled at Harvard univer "V r Jrk. f', III is am THE DAILY IRTAL EDUCATION BILLS AT YW VESPER SERVICE Legislator, Teacher Tells Of Pending Proposals In Unicameral. "Practically everything we have and want is influenced by legis lation, asserted Miss Sarah T. Muir who spoke before the Ves per group yesterday afternoon at Ellen Smith hall. Discussing briefly the four major education bills introduced in the Nebraska Unicameral legis lature,' Miss Muir, who is head of the English department at Lincoln high school and a former member of the state legislature, spoke on "The Outlook for Education in Nebraska." Legislation Long Battle. "All legislation is a long battle," said Miss Muir. "The fight has only begun. None of the bills are out of committee yet." Continuing contract, certifica tion, tax investigation, and retire ment legislation are the four pro posals before committee hearings now. Each of these bills has as its purpose the betterment of some weakness in the state educa tional system. Need Student Interest. "How will this proposed legis lation on education effect you? Miss Muir queried. There are three reasons why students should be Interested. In the first place if these bills are passed, likely young people will be called into the pro fession; secondly, they will be kept in the profession, and thirdly, when a teacher has passed the age of giving good service he can de cently retire." Preceeding the talk Virginia Wheeler led devotion&ls. Frances Marshall introduced the speaker and Victoria Seymour helped with arrangements. "This Is My Father's World" was sung by the Vesper choir under the direction of Maxine Federle accompanied by Bernice Nellemann. Miss N e 1 1 e ni a n n played "An Indian Lament" by Grunn as a solo.

Last Saturday, Michigan walked off with the Big Ten indoor crown by scoring 35 points while the week before Coach Pa Schul te's Huskers did likewise in their league, only that they broke three records. Sam Francis' shot put of 51 feet 11 5-8 inches, breaking the former record of 50 feet estab lished by Hugh Rhea of Nebraska in 1932, was the only Big Six performance which bested a Big Ten mark. Bill Watson of Michigan threw the 16 pound iron ball 50 feet 4-4 inches to shatter the old record heave of 48 feet 9 1-2 inches earned by Clarence Munn of Minnesota in '32. Big Ten Stays Tops. Several important conference meets, such as the Notre Dame relays, North Centrat, Big Ten and Big Six, have already been staged. Comparing record for record with these past shows, Big Ten winning performances Indicate five marks surpassing those obtained in other track carnivals. The Weutern con ference supremacy, however, .has two more acid tests to withstand as the Knights of Columbus meet will be held Wednesday in New York and the Butler relays Sat urday at Indianapolis. Torribio of Oklahoma won the Big Six HO yard dash diadem in :06.3, which is very fast in any man's league. Running this event for the Illini Bob Grieve ambled it in :06.2, equalling the world's in door record. As one can see, there is little diference between the two marks in this event. Matteson Wins Mile. However, in the 440 yard dash the Big Six brethern weren't even in the race so far as comparative records are concerned. Gee of Mis souri won it in 52.6 while Stan Birleson ot Michigan took first in the Big Ten meet in a timing of 49.cS. Lloyd Eberhardt of Kansas State garnered the 880 in 1:59.2 while Charles Beetham, Ohio State star, did likewise but ran it in 1:56.4. Nebraska's own Fred Matteson won the mile in his conference in 4:30.8. Au upset occurred in this event at the Big Ten festival. Don Lash, Indiana's famed runner and holder of outdoor world marks for the two miles, was eked out by Stan Feske of Wisconsin as the latter turned in 4:12.9 time.

Michigan's mile relay team ran this event In 3:20.3 for a first while Kansas State's clique took the same place In 3:33.1. Mel Walker of Ohio State set a new conference high jumping record with a leap of 6 feet 5 3-4 inches while Dale Shannon of Kan sas captured this event in the Big Six carnival at 6 feet 4 inches. In the Big Six indoor show at Colum bia, the high jumpers did not live up to their reputations as many famed leapers failed to skim the bar for a considerable height. Minnesota, who comes here April 10 to face the Cornhuskers in a dual, finished in seventh place with six points. At this festival, Capt Dominic Krezowskl, Gopher leader, and conference shot put champion last year, was shorn of his crown by Bill Watson of Michigan.

The injury which sent the young conference king to an Okla homa City hospital is the same kind of injury which has kept Robertson out of national inter collegiate tournaments. After the blow the Sooner was unable to see and was helped to the dressing room by his team mates. This incident closes pre maturely what all sports fans hailed as a successful career for fie big Oklahoman. According to the Oklahoma Daily, the Sooner coach Paul V. Keen, described his star performer as being the "most balanced wrestler" he has ever seen and one of the best from any angle.
