When Coach "Biff" Jones calls for a secret practice for his foot hall units, he really means what he seta down as his orders. Mon day afternoon, your boy "James" went over to cover the first day of spring football practice out-of-doors for Boss Gal June Bier bower. I went toddling up the steps onto the freshman football field with the prestige that I was going to cover the spring practice session. That was by intention. An officer patrolling the gridiron had other intentions. And thoy were stronger intentions. No authority. It seems that I didn't have any authority to trespass on the field. I had to have a pass or a signed 7iote from Sports Ed Bierbower. So, I hurried buck to the DAILY office for Bierbower's signature. She was in class. Editor Dick deBrown tackcel a signature to a note and I let that serve as a pass. Back to the stadium again. The Gridiron Gendarme still wouldn't let me cover the practice, as he claimed that Bierbower only had the authority he recognized A gloomy but more enlightened writer trod back to DAILY offlc with his report. In the meantime, Alex "Grantlaml nice" Mills came to the rescue as he was a recog nized reporter and secured the football practice story for today Nyah, nyah. Next time, it's a signature by Bierbower that I'll take to cover practice sessions. I don't want to be looked upon as a foreign spy inn npx t time I trod on Biff's foot ball fields. The long arm of the law is not gonna catch me nyah, nyah. But, when Biff says secret practice, he really means what he orders. Pcpenoe (Continued from Page 1.) portant step in life, however, In view of our findings I could not generally advise against it. Makes research. In an attempt to determine the average success of college mar riages, Dr. Popenoe made a re search on the following three ques tions: Who paid the bills? did both husband and wife succeed in being graduated?, and were they happy? He found that as a rule the financial side or the part nerships worked out agreeably and could not be used as a criticism. The probability of both graduat Ing from college was found to be small. In many cases the hua band quit school to work, or the wife, In order to have a child, was forced to drop out. Fear result of bad marriage The marriage of low-grade mo rons and high school imbeciles (as Dr. Popenoe refera to men and women having the unstable emo tional minds of children) are more to be feared than actual child marriages. Popenoe sees the marriage age being raised to 18 sometime In the future. He cited Kansas as a present example of the extreme, where a girl may marry at 12 and a boy at 14. Four-man Nil frock squad makesgoodChkcsgoshowing Jt Em u. y SUGENE LITTLER Lincoln Journal. Nebraska's track forces really did themselves up proud, Satur day night, at the Armour Tech re lays held in Chicago. Four sopho mores again Harold Hunt, Bill Smutz, Gene Littler, and Harold Brooks were the shining lights in the star studded carnival. Coach Ed Weir's quartet Edsel Wib- bels was left at home because of a sore hand came flying thru with three clear cut first places and a tie for another. The conflict ing reports gave Hunt a win in the pole vault but Weir said Monday that Hunt was tied by Williams of Wisconsin at the hcighth of 13' 7si". Incidental ly, that was the highest the sopho more has ever vaulted and it broke the school marks for both indoor and outdoor performances in this event. Bill Smutz was troubled by the 70 yard hurdle races in placing third and fifth due to only three jumps over the distance. It is more of a race for a sprinter than what Smutz has been accustomed to. Coaches and critics alike were full of praise for Littler's wins in the 70 vard dash and the 440. In the short dash, "Red" was trail ing only 10 yards from the finish line but he pulled up fast enough to win by a yard in the closing strides. A picture in the Chicago Herald American of the finish of the race shows Littler really lunging at the tape with his head pushed down and forward in real fullback plung; ing fashion. In the quarter mile Littler had a lead by about four yards at the finish. Brooks' time of 4:23.7 is the second best mark he has set this year. His first quarter of the mile was swung in 62 seconds and had a half mile time of 2:10.8. Weir is Issuing another call for many prospective track athletes who were out for fall practice but have since not turned in any ap pearance. The squad as a whole is tapering off in practice until after spring vacation before hitting the out door track. Nebraska's next con test will be in the Kansas relays on April 20. Gridders work outside second time this spring The Cornhuskers came outside yesterday for the second time this year, having been held back by bad weather conditions. They now hope to get in some real work. If good weather keeps up there will be a scrimmage before the week is over, as Head Coach Biff Jones and his staff desire to put the boys through extensive drill ings. Monday afternoon's labor consisted in running through plays, while blocking, punting, and passing occupied the rest of the session. The first scrimmage will probably be Wednesday afternoon. YWCA sponsors Easter service The last YWCA vesper program, held today at 5:00 o'clock in Ellen Smith hall, is a special Easter service. The program, conducted by Mary Bullock, Vesper chair man, and Frances Keefe, Vesper choir director, consist mainly of musical selections. --... u "' i V .

It's sure success when gym classes go coeducational Oh boy! boys and erirls. at last its here. At least its here as far as Drake University is concerned. Its mixed physical education classes for men and women, and for credit too. Last semester two golf classes and three social dancing classes were offered and according to Ruby Ann Holton, "There is no question about the success of the classes." Attendance has been larger than ever before. This semester, badminton, bowl ing, horsemanship, archery, and angling are expected to be added to the schedule. Canoeing, swim ming, and boating may be added at a future date. m it By June Bierbower.
