r ,-rfrtittff ftlffrftriiJ ffiw.M llllllin Hunkers Stand Out In National A.A.U. By Ed Steevei. The Nebraska maples bear little fruit so far as the National A. A. U. meets are concerned. This year the representative team, the Woodman Accident basket- bailers, hung up a new rec ord for achieve ment in the meet. This rec ord, however, was about as bragworthy as a flunk in math for they went only to the quarterfinals of the meet where tney were promptly slaughtered. Never before lH.S0RENS0N5o this state From Lincoln Journalgone beyond the first round. Besides the Accidents, Nebraska had several other natives in the tourney. Les Witte and John Kim ball of the K. C. Life. Denver, were both playing from Nebraska, tut under banners of other states. A pair of other former Huskers were home due to various and sundry reasons such as the rheu matism of Williard Schmidt and business conflicts of Kelley Bos well. Sorenson, Yelkln Star. . In the final trouncing of the Accidents by the ultimate winners of the national meet, the Denver Safeways, with Harry Sorensen and Virg Yelkin of current Husker fame, starred. This failure by the Shuckers in the speedy national competition is supposed to prove something or other concerning the prowess of the Big Six, but we don't think it means a thing. Most of the teams hold of with their in vitations to players until they have read the All American roster each year. With this pol icy of squad composure, by the tradition winners, how can Hus kers with no special recognition expect to go over the top? Old Men Win Out In that same tournament where these A. A. U. players compete for their enjoyment and their sponsors' pecuniary gain, the boys of the press made an interesting pad ful concerning the play. Best of these was that the old men of the game always win out in the "young man's game." The Denver Safeways and the Phillip's Oilers, finalists, were both com posed of the perennials of the amateur tourney. The newcomers spun like in nebraited tops trying to keep up the pace with the decripits of the meet, but they flopped flat on their faces. One by one the new stock succumbed to the master work of the old timers. This A. A. U. movement may be the threshold to professional basketball, somthing believed to be an Impossibility. Oficials have always held back in the belief that pudgy pauches, withering thighs, and balding scalps can't take the whirlwind action of basketball. Pitt Fights Subsidization Chancellor John G. Bowman of the University of Pittsbuhgh has jumped into the picture and sworn to do away with subsidization, that evil of which this paper wrote a few month's back. The fact that Pitt's officials have made such a to-do about the plan's eradication Indicates to us that under the hand of the "late' Don W. Harrison, resigned athletic director, the school was into the vice up to its neck. The purifying chancellor, who would spray the fumngation of a new deal about the Panther cam pus, outlines his plan in this way: (1) He wants athletics for the students and the students only. (Of course a few thousand cash customers don't hurt any thing). (2) Pitt doesn't stress football merely to pay off a stadium debt. There's nothing to that. (They owe only a little more than $1,000,000 on the grid arena.) (3) We won't pay ath letes a cent for subsidization. (Unless, of course, the lad who wins a scholarship is an athlete by slight coincidence. They give 2.000 such "aids.") With the defeat of the manager, after a feud of kill billy nature.

Dodo Bird of Folklore Fame On Display in Morrill Hall (Continued from Page 1.) colorful bird. The dodo's written history begins with 1510 when Portuguese navigator! disem barked on Maritiua Island, a lonely fragment of land In the Indian ocean off the African coasrt. They reported the fantastic bird upon their return home. It Is abort, squat, ntubby, has undeveloped wing incapable of lifting it into the air; and the tail looks like a bunch of ostrich plumes. Its appearance awkward waddle which verged on the ri diculous, made it the butt of hu morists. The bird were not prolific breeders and were slaughtered In great numbers by sailors and the pigs which the Portuguese had brought to the Island. Between 1610 and 1620 live do dos were brought to Europe for exhibition. Since then they suffer ed from gradual extinction. The last record of a living dodo dates back to 1681. The marshes of Maritiua have yielded only bones and other fragments. The university's model Is of the gTay variety, the other known species being white. Thv dodo was a ground pigeon and I closely re lated to the paasenger pigeon which, becauae of man's short sidedness, has also become ex tinct In this country.

A , TUESDAY, MAKCH 23, Huskers to Splash Against INTERSECTIONAL 1IEST HOLDS SPORT LIMELIGHT Thornton, Hagelin, Ludwick, Barry Defend Big Six Titles in Meet. Nebraska's four individual Big Six swimming champions will match strokes for the spotlight to night at 7:30 in the coliseum tank when Texas university takes to the water with two champions and three circuit record holders in the lineup. Huskers Thornton, Ludwick, Hagelin, and Barry, all Big Six champs, will have a tough time with Nendell, Thurman. Baker and Crouch, all No. 1 men in the Southern conference. Joe Bowling, Texas State diving champion, will also be on hand to display his wares on the spring board. , Olympic Star III. Adolph Kiefer, Olympic back stroke champion, who was sched uled to give an exhibition at the meet tonight was left in Austin because of illness. The real contest of the meet should come when the relay teams of the two schools come together. When the Longhorns met the Texas Aggies a week ago the 400 yard relay team was composed of Travis. Talley, Bergfeld and Nen dell. Their time for the event was 4:03.9. Nebraska's team, composed of Krause, Dort, Lud wick and Thornton salted away the Grinnell aggregation in 4:04.9, one second slower than the Texas time. Good Medley Relay. In the 300 yard medley, the Texas team of Zwiener, Baker and Travis distanced the Aggie men in 3:26.5. Zwiener will be replaced by Crouch in the lineup Tuesday, however. The Husker team of Ludwick. Thornton, and Dort coasted to victory against Grin nell with a time of 3:29.9. Against Kansas State last month these same men turned in a good per formance with the clock reading 3:20.9.

POSTPONE TRICOLOR MEET 'Pa' Schulte Plans to Take Freshmen Outdoors. Hoping to take his tri-color run ners outside in the near future, Coach Henry Schulte decided to postpone the color meet originally scheduled for today until April 6. Capt. Bob Kahler's Reds won the last engagement for their first triumph in five attempts. A horde of tri-color tracksters reported for drills under the east stadium. Robert Short, ex-South-ern California frosh trackman, took a light workout in role vault ing while Roy Gatsch, Orange per former, jaunted around the indoor cinderway to improve his celerity and stamina. IN DEBATE SEMI-FINALS MM's Argue With Boosters In Barb Finals; P.A.D. Draws Bye. Sigma Alpha Mu will defend its possession of the Delta Sigma Rho silver gavel in the interfraternity debates Tuesday evening by meet ing Kappa Sigma in the semi finals. The winner of this match opposes Phi Alpha Delta in the finals. Kappa Sig will uphold the af firmative side on the question of compulsory arbitration of labor disputes and the S. A. M.'s will take the negative stand. The arguers will debate at the Kappa Sigma house. MM's, Boosters In Finals. In the non-fraternity section of the intramural debates the MM's have the affirmative and the Lin coln Boosters the negative. In case of default the honors go to the team that appears prepared to debate. Prof. H. A. White, debate coach, announced that no provision is of ficially made for a debate between the winners of the fraternitv and non-fraternitv sections, but that a debate could be slated by their own arrangement and consent. The Delta Sigma Rho trophy would not be at stake in such a debate. MUSEUM SHOY S QUEER MONOLITH, AZTEC CALENDAR The University Museum is dis playing Sunday for the first time the latest of its numberless acquisitions, a monolith, known as the "Aztec Calendar," which Is a monument to the sun. This curious stone was located in the great temple of the Aztecs, in Mexico City. When the temple in 1521 was destroyed by the Spaniards, the stone was buried until its discovery in front of the cathedral in 1790. McKelvie Secures Replica. It was while making a recent visit to the Mexican metropolis that Ex-Governor Sam R. Mc Kelvie viewed the historic mono lith and secured an exact replica of it as a gift for the University Museum. The original is profusely figured with Aztec symbols denoting months, day, their worship of the sun and fire. It stood 12 feet high and weighed 57,000 pounds. In the upper part of the monu ment, and between the tails of two enormous, fantastic fire snakes is a square inside of which is inscribed the date "13 cane" (13 cana). which was the year ac cording to the Aztecs, when the sun was made. It Is becoming increasingly di ficult to maintain the high stand ards of the University of Illinois band, says Director A. A, Hard ing, because other schools are en ticing prospective musicians with scholarships. When he had resumed his seat, the instructor called on a tall, lean youth who had been paying rapt attention, asking him for addi tions.

Contrary to the belief held several years ago. the sun is not at the center of the galaxy, it is held to be about two-thirds of the way from the upper edge. Kinds of Nebullae. The importance and increased study of the gallactic nebullae are described by the astronomer. Rust divided the types of nebullae into those whose stars give their own light and those that merely reflect the light of other stars. "It has been definitely shown that there are at least two dif ferent colored nebullae. blue and yellow. We have not been able to prove, however, that there are red nebullae, altho many of the lead ing astronomers contend that they do exist. The results of certain photos taken upon a red plate suggect that this belief is profr ably true. Methods of Study. Rust described the methods of studv which are beine: enmloved ! at the present time. At the Mount . Wilson observatory a camera has been perfected with which a photo ' can hi taken of 22 degrees. Many of tha photos are given eight hours exposure. "Velocity and motion of the stars is entirely at random," Rust declared.
