Leger, Rooney,

Preparing for Saturday night's
clash with the University of Kan
sas Jayhawks at the coliseum,
Husker cagers drove thru hard
practice sessions Wednesday and
Thursday.
With his squad cut to ten men
by the loss of Russ Ueger, Pat
Rooney, and Byrne Swiggert,
Coach Ad Lewandowski is finding
himself hard pressed to assemble a
starting line-up and sufficient re
serve strength to give the Scarlet
a fighting chance against the Jay
hawks. K. U., tho lodged in fourth
place in conference standings and
far from their usual strength,
boast a dangerous squad, one
which has shown steady improve
ment thruout the season.
Squad Strength Low.
The loss of Leger, Rooney, and
Swiggert will be keenly felt by
the Huskers, whose squad strength
is now at the lowest point it has
reached this season. Leger, 6-4
center, dropped from the squad in
compliance with doctor's orders,
while Rooney checked in his cage
togs in anticipation of a March 1
call to the naval V-5 program.
Swiggert found his secon semester
scholastic load too heavy to al
low him to continue his basket
ball duties.
The Jayhawks romped over the
Scarlet at Lawrence in January in
the first meeting of the two clubs
this year. Probable starting line

the notion that the pupils should
"express themselves." If this is
what is meant by lack of disci
pline, then I should be inclined to
agree with Mr. Mallon," said Mr.
Lancaster. "If pupils are per
mitted to follow their natural bent
at tender years the result is bound
to be illiteracy and mental con
fusion. I take it that this is what
Mr. Mallon means by "graduated
half-wits" and I don't think the
epithet too strong."
"Let's have some facts," is the
cry of D. A. Woi'chester, chairman
of educational psychology at
Teacher's college.
"I am in favor of definite facts
about the illliteracy of, say, 1925
and now. I feel sure that the facts
will prove that the present system
is proving successful," said Mr.
Worcester. "And by the way, ob
jective tests were advocated long
before progressive education was
introduced."
Kight or wrong, "crackpot or
a "nut," Paul Mallon has crysta
lized a lot of thinkin' and thoughts
with his little editorial. One thing's
sure, mention progressive educa
tion and there is a 45 minute discussion.

With the basketball season Hearing its close, there remains
little time for the proposed clash between the Lincoln Air Base
Raiders and an all-star team composed of the leading players
from the various Army-trainee learns on the campus.. The sug
gestion seems to be popular with the majority of trainees in the
various units stationed at the University, and we see no reason
why it should not be given immediate consideration by the
proper atunomics. .
If action is not started at once, the season will be. over
before the clash can be arranged. A suggestion which is so
popular with the trainees on the campus certainly deserves a
hearing and all possible eliorts to see mat tne proposed game
is arranged.
Saturday's U.N.. athletic schedule offers both a track moot
and a baskelball game on the campus. The Scarlet tangle with
K.U.. and Kansas State in a triangular track meet on the indoor
track under the East Stadium at 3:00 in the afternoon, and
Husker cagers meet the Jayhawks of the University of Kansas
at the coliseum at 8:00 P. ,M.
In neither event are the Huskers given more than an out
side chance of victory. Both K.U. and K-State appear to have
too much strength for the Nebraska trackmen, while on the
basketball court the jayhawks, though only in fourth place in
the conference, must be picked to defeat the Scarlet.
An early list of outstanding cagers from which the Big Six
all-conference team could be named this year would include
Roy VVehde, Ray Welule, and Price Brook field of Towa State;
Pryor, Ramsey, and Paine of Oklahoma; Minx, Pippin, and
Collins of Missouri; Artman and Hollins of Nebraska; Mc
Spadden, Moffett, and Barrington of Kansas; and Cooper and
Oish of Kansas State.

Grad Writes Article
For Scientific Monthly
Ralph C. Roper, graduate of the
University of Nebraska in 1903, is
the author of an article, "Thomas
Paine; Scientist-Religionist,"
which appears in the February
issue of the Scientific Monthly.
In the article, Roper deals with
Paine's Deistic religion and the
controversy which it caused after
the publishing of his book, "The
Age of Reason." Thruout his life,
Roper writes, Paine "always ap
proached the study of science from
the viewpoint of religion, and the
study of religion "from the view
point of science."

indoor Beason, Nebraska s track
men tangle tomorrow afternoon at
3:00 with Kansas State and the
University of Kansas in a triangu
lar meet on the indoor track under
the East Stadium.
With only a ten man squad, the
Huskers are woefully lacking in
numbers and will not be able to
enter men in all events. Coach
Ed Weir is pinning his hopes
chiefly on the individual perform
ances of Dean Kratz, who will run
in both the 440 and the 880, and
Norval Barker, who will enter
both hurdle events. Kratz, only re
turning: letterman, has turned in
very good clickings in both the
quarter and the half and has an
excellent chance of copping either
or both events in Saturday's meet.
Barker, a freshman, has several
fast flights of hurdles to his credit
in practice' sessions and should be
a real threat in Dotn me nigns
and lows.
K.U. Favored
Kansas State and K.U. will both
bring strong squads northward,
with the naval-spiked Jayhawk
team sure to be installed as favor
ites to cop the three-way meet
The Jayhawks crushed Missouri's
Tigers in a dual meet at Columbia
last Saturday and have a strong.
well-balanced squad. The K
Staters, though they have tasted
no actual competition yet this
year, are strong in numbers, with
entrants listed for every event.
The Saturday afternoon meet
will find all of the Nebraska en
tries making their debut in collcgi
ate competition. Buzz Hollins, Val
lev strong: boy who doubles as a
center on the Scarlet cage squad,
will be handicapped by the fact
that he is throwing the sixteen
pound shot for the first time in
actual competition, while Dick
Miller, Fairbury athlete who en
rolled in school at the start of this
semester, will be making his first
vault of the year. Miller, dis
charged from the Army because
of a back injury, has been slow
in rounding into shape and has yet
to make an actual vault this
season.
Scoring Basis Uncertain.
The basis on which the meet will
be scored will not be determined
until Coach Weir has 'conferred
Saturday with coaches from K
State and K.U. The meet may be
scored on a straight triangular
basis, or tabulations may be made
as though the meet involved dual
competition between the various
schools in addition to the overall
triangular meet.
Admission to the meet, which
will begin promptly at 3:00 Sat
urday afternoon, is 55 cents or by
student activity ticket.
Entry lists have not yet been
received from K.U., but the entries

Benjamin Hubbard, gave another
of his excellent performances.
Never leaving behind his slow,
southern drawl, Bill lived up to
the' name of one of the Little
Foxes, acting as a balance wheel
between the cool Regina and the
explosive Oscar.
Vic Ferris, as Oscar Hubbard,
the most unstable of the three
Little Foxes, deserves praise for
his interpretation of a heavy and
rather boring role.
Leo Hubbard, played by Herbert
Spence, stole several scenes, and
Betty Rhodes, as Alexandra,
turned in an excellent perform
ance, although the pail gave lit
tle chance for exceptional acting.
Cal and Addie, the Negro servants,
played by Stanley Cooke and
Helen Patrick, respectively, added
realism and gave relief to the
heavier moments of the play. Don
Kline, in the role of William Mar
shall, deserves praise for his flaw
ness interpretation of a Chicago
businessman in the presence of
Southern aristocracy.
In addition to excellent acting,
the costumes deserve special com
ment for their beauty and com
pleteness. Stage technique had
nothing to be desired and the set
was realistic.
After such a superb perform
ance, it is discouraging, to say the
least, to play to an audience that
can't fill the front seats. The Uni
Theater should receive the same
cooperation and attendance as the
other university productions.
A branch of the Women's Wine
has been organized on the Univer
sity of New Mexico campus with,
classes in ground training: for
women interested in joining the
WAFS or some other flight course.
The course will include classes in
aerodynamics, radio code, aircraft
identification, physics, military
organization, calisthenics, and
drill.
