Prep coschc
s
clinic slated
for next week
Football, basketball,
track, golf, baseball
demonstrations planned
The Husker coaching staff Will
stage its seventh annual free clinic
for visiting high school coaches
during the state basketball meet
here next week.
Clinics will be in order for foot
ball, basketball, track, golf and
baseball for the prep mentors.
Wednesday, the opening day of
the tournament will see no activ
ity. On Thursday, however,
coaches Ed Weir and Harold Petz
will head a track and field clinic
in the east stadium at the-indoor
track from 3 to 3:30. Another
clinic is scheduled for Friday from
3:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon.
Baseball discussions.
Baseball coaches Wilbur Knight
and Adolph Lewandowski will dis
cuss fundamentals of the diamond
game Friday morning between 10
and 12 at the N club rooms in the
coliseum. Baseball movies will be
shown from 1:30 to 3 that after
noon. Golf and football are in order
Saturday. Ed New kirk, Country
Club pro, and the Husker coach
and instructor, will have charge of
the golfing clinic in the coliseum
basement from 9 to 12 that morn
ing. Big feature of the football show
will be a scrimmage Saturday aft
ernoon between 2 and 4 o'clock if
the - weather permits. Saturday
morning, five reels demonstrating
football fundamentals as arranged
and directed by Hunk Anderson
and Dutch CVirk will be shown
from 10 to 12 in the N club rooms.
for baseball. . .they txith lack two
hours of credits.
Those people who talk about the
weather to smoth things over
would probably get not-such-a
smooth response from the Hucker
football coaching staff right now
...a day or two inside Isn't so
bad, but five in a row gets pretty
monotonous in addition to wasting
good time. . .there's no getting a
line on your team when it's nec
essary to herd it around in the
cramped space the Huskers have
under the stadium.
setting a new American record of
55 feet 11 inches and a national
collegiate mark of 55 feet lu',4.
Hackney won the shot put at the
Texas Relays, the Kansas Relays.
and the Colorado Relays. With this
warmup he then polished off
championships at the Big Six meet
and the national collegiate meet.
Injury hurts.
All of which should make him a
prohibitive favorite to win the in
door championship for the second
straight year, but he is not. A
wrist injury almost ended his track
career and kept his marks below
50 feet in the early season meets
Consequently Hackney rates no
better than an even choice wil'. Ed
Wibbels of Nebraska. The big Hus
ker defeated Hackney in the Nebraska-Kansas
State dual meet and
may be able to do it again. Wib
bels, who is the holder of the na
tional high school record in the
iscus throw, was third in the shot
put last year.
Vanderbllt for third.
Another Cornhusker and an
other Wildcat are expected to bat
tle it out with three Missouri
Tigers for third and fourth in the
shot put. .
Most likely choice for the thir-J
spot is the Kansas State shot put
ter, Bill Vanderbilt. The Wildcat
weight man was fifth in the out
door meet and tossed the iron ball
more than 48 feet in one meet last
spring.
. The other contenders for third
are Ray Prochaska of Nebraska
and Myron Counsil, Stillman
House, and John Ellis of Missouri.
All have marks to their credit of
46 feet or beCer.
Po!e vaulter
!unt limping
Suffers from effect
of stepping on nail
Harold Hunt, sophomore pole
vaulter, will be out of track prac
tice for the remainder of the week,
after having stepped on a nail,
Tuesday. His heel is sore, and he
is limping, but Weir hopes the
North Platte star, one of the Big
Six s best vaulters will be ready to
go in the conference meet Satur
day. Gene Littler has been suffering
from a cold, and planned to spend
last night in the infirmary, al
though the cold is not severe.
The dual-color meet between the
Reds and Greens, frosh track
teams, which was scheduled for
this week-end, was called off be
cause of spring football practice
being held indoors. A large number
of frosh have been reporting for
track, and Weir says he will con
centrate on those newcomers early
next week.
YM, YW to hold
seven school
joint conference
Invitations have been issued to
seven schools in this state for a
joint Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. meet
ing to be held at the Hi-Y building
from 4 to 8 p. m. on Sunday. Dr.
Schwartz of Wcsleyan university
will show pictures of the Estes
conference.
Wesleyan, Doane, Midland, Has
tings, York, Peru, and Omaha uni
versity have received invitations.
The purpose of the meeting is to
create interest and acquaint mem
bers of these groups with the
ideas, plans and acquaint mem
bers of these groups with the
ideas, plans and purposes of the
annual Estes park conference of
the Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. which
is held in June. Dr. Schwartz, who
has attended this meeting for sev
eral years, is well qualified to
present the material about it.

to thousands of experts at length
on the farm question and has sat
with farm groups of every state."
Somebody asked him if his farm
makes money. "It does not," said
Dewey.
. A reporter said . he knew a
democrat who thought Dewey too
young for the presidency and
what would the candidate tell
him? "I don't know I haven't
met him," the candidate said.
Too young.
"Too young that's the popular
song of the New Deal and all the
democrats who are scared of los
ing their jobs," he remarked.
He said he had no special in
formation as to the rumored anti
Dewey coalition between Taft and
Vandcnburg but that he had
"heard it repeatedly."
He demonstrated his "charac
tcristic pose" placing his right
hand back of his head and said
that he had been unconscious of
making it until his wife told him
about it. "Only a wife would no
tice a thing like that."
Strikes a pose.
A photographer asked him to
strike the pose. He obliged,
laughing.
Somebody remarked that the
Iowa congressional election was
showing a trend of 60-40 in favor
of the g. o. p. "That's more than a
trend," said Dewey, "that's an
earthquake."
On his trip, Dewey said, he
found trade treaties a matter "of
acute importance" especially in
the north and west. He did not
comment on treaties, remarking
that he did not care to elaborate
on his speech in the coliseum.
He avoided a reporter's question
as to his accepting the vice-presidency
if delegates will it. But
friends close to the candidate said
that Dewey would not defraud the
public by being a "stuffed shirt"
in the U. S. senate.
The interview was concluded
quickly as members of the state
republican committee pounded on
the door. The racket buster bid
the newsmen goodbye.
Mr. Dewey had r.jt said very
much but he had said it very well.

on spring football practice for
the fifth day in a row, as the
Huskers were again forced to
work out inside.
A weight checkup shows that no
less than two dozen of the men
reporting for spring drills are 200
pounders, as 24 men tip the beams
at around or over that weight.
Johr.vy Goodsell, rotund frosh
tackle candidate from Omaha, is
the heaviest, as he weighs 235
pounds. Bruce Clausen, Dix, who
was with the squad a couple of
years, and Bob McNutt, the Colby,
Kas. flash, are probably the next
biggest boys. Both are also
tackles.
Other big boys.
Eleven more tackles scale over
200, altho in truth some of the line

heavy, are somewhat overweight.
