Someone asked us to explHln all of this powder river business. WhHt loes it mean ? How whs It. started? etc. Powder river means absolutely nothing in its literal sense but to any basketball player on the Llnroln court it means the Rang is still behind the boys and that they're still pulling-. The custom wag started way back'ln 1933 or before. When the basketball games were staged on the Irving maples, the L club and other patriotic Links sat to gether In the balcony and, to let the people know that they were there, the section concluded to yell Powder river after each basket. The idea became popu lar and was so generally ac cepted that anyone that didn't yell was a sort of villain. We no ticed last night at the state tourney that the official sheer ing section Is now using the Powder river yell after each basket. Rains Footballers.

Captain Davidson is here on a leave of absence. Within a few months he will lie stationed at Honolulu, Hawaii, for Army regulations specify that no man shall act as coach of the team at West Point longer than five years. The. captain was an assistant un der Major Jones when the Blffcr was head man l' of the cadets, and he also played football in his under graduate days during the years of '24, '25, and '26.

Altho it whs announced earlier that spring practice was to be a secret drill, a few of the idle curious have been filtering thru In spite of the fact that the gates are pad locked.

Kearney accounted for the first upset when It nosed out Falls City by a one-point margin with a score of 33-32, while Wahoo turned in the second unexpected win by defeating the highly fa vored Jackson five by a score of 27-21. Altho Jackson had not been seeded, the Robson quint was a heavy favorite to down the Wahoo aggregation. Jackson seemed to be a sluggish for the aggresive ness of the Saunders county crew. Other favorites In the class A roster had little trobule in gaining the quarter finals.

The Cornell meet ( will be held here on March 19. i In most of their meets this year, 1 the Husker men have given a sev !eral pound weight advantage to their opponents, but this will prob ably not happen in the national meet. Jim Knight, who hn weighed in at 135 all year, reports : that he expecets to be down to his told weight of 126 before long. Bill I Luke will probably move down from the 145 pound berth which he has occupied all season, ami fill Knight's old position. Luke wrestled at 135 last year. Coach Jerry Adam says that in the Big Six meet at Iowa State last Friday and Saturday nearly every Nebraska man could have weighed in fully dressed and still made the weight for the divisions in which they competed. Adam has lined up a schedule of hard work for the next three weeks which is designed to take off some extra poundage, and he expects his men to be in fine shape for the national meet. Basketball Free Throw. The baskeball free throw tourn ament will be held in the Coliseum sometime next week. The date will be announced later. Basketball Class A.

Since we are uncertain as to what is our policy, the professor points out, we are at a loss to know how large our navy should be. Our primary concern is protection for continental United States. The question is how large a navy is necessary for this purpose and against whom ve n-ed protection. "Highly li.ia n ' e persons see us at war with Japan, Germany and Italy, with fighting in both the Atlantic and Pacific. We were told when the Panama canal was built that it would obviate the need for two fleets, by facilitating passage of our warships from one coast to the other. It is hard to see any need for two fleets today unless we are contemplating an aggressive foreign policy some where." The Daily Northwestern this week In a paralleling opinion quoted America's No. 1 sea dog, William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, as admitting that full size fleets were not required In the Atlantic and Pacific both, but that one fleet could be shifted from one coast to another In sufficient time to repel an attack.

Smith Discusses Welds. Ellis Smith, junior in the depart ment, read his paper on "Welds and Their Inspection." The X-ray weld inspection was dealt with in particular by him, and a few ex amples of the inspection given. He presented an outline of the advan tages of welding over other ways of fabrication, and the need for as surance of the soundness of welds points. The two reels of film shown were entitled, "Ox Welding and Cutting in Production." They showed the increasing usefulness of tfle oxy-a cetelyne process and the important part it plays in the production phases of modern in dustry. The fabrication of auto mobile bodies, airplane fuselages, motors, and the production of au tomobile refrigerators was dealt with. the rounds of the various cam puses until late spring. Cancela tion of the three-weeks course will also lift a load off the engineering faculty which has been over burdened for some time. Officials, however, hope to offer the course next year.
