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.

ball tournament, where not the
cream, but the whipping cream of
the crop goes,

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.

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.

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

'37 Big Ten Indoor Track Records
Excel Y Six Marks as Michigan,
I Tuskers Harvest League Crowns
A careful survey of indoor track
records made by Big Ten and Big
Six conference teams reveals that
those of the former eclipse the
latter's by more than a scant
latituue. 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. The
two were so close as the finish
of the race that its outcome was
not known until the officials went

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.

six points. At this festival, Capt

last year, was shorn of his crown
