This week's Sporting News, published in St. Louis by J. G. Taylor Spink, had an article on football parleys. The story was concerned with the findings of the Duke Chronicle, student paper at Duke university, of the distribution of the cards on the Durham, N. C, campus. According to the story, of over 100 parleys played, not one was a winner. The inference is that winning on a parley is comparable to drawing 14 spades from a standard deck of cards. The Chronicle's expose, if it may be so called, re vealed the nation-wide setup of the system, saying that there are four stages to the network. The national office, in this case located in New York City, receives 40 of the proceeds and assumes the risk of the few losses. The state office receives the same percentage, with the local offices and distributors splitting the remaining 20. It may be assumed that the system is no different at Nebraska. The fixing is not done locally, except possibly a few extra points are given to Nebraska teams to "bait the trap." The handicaps are sent out weekly to the local agents, who end up with 10 cents for every card sold by their distributors. The Daily Nebraskan thinks it unnecessary to warn students about playing parleys. If they want to risk a dollar on four teams a week at 16 to 1 odds, that is their business, and it does satisfy some common sporting instinct, we suppose. However, every student should realize what he is up against. It is a sure thing all around for the big Shots in New York, for the local offices, and for the players. Cub Clem.

OTTUTD UNDEl AUTrlOWTY OF THE COCA-COW COMPANY IY LINCOLN COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. O 1943, The Coca-Cola Cow pony BY PAT NORDIN On the eve of the big jaunt to Kansas, many plans are being for mulated. Some migrants plan Saturday nights in Lawrence's lo cal "Teepee" or the Homecoming dance while others are K. C. bound with bigger things in view. Strictly from an objective point of view, Bill LeRoy will play critic at the "burley-cue." It was news of this that caused Gene Morris to mutter, "Lucky Stag!" Some touring couples are: Knox Jones and Gwen Harding:, Walt Stevenson and Dawn Daggett, Bob Yarwood and Donna Burley. Bobby Dill is madly canvaslng the Farm House in search of a suitable chaperone to accompany his sister and four girl friends to Kansas. His chief prospect is Jerry Soloman. "Ciaine tn riiffprpnt schools to gether" are pinmates Jane Mac Arthur and John tonnelly. Jane is troinff to Ohio and John with the gang to Kansas. Each have bie Dartv Dlans and will strive to get along without the other. There will be some social life on our own campus tnis weeK. Hayracking with the YM-YW members Friday night will be M. J. Melick and Norm Leger, Bev Sievers and Al Short and Shirley Sabin and Carl Quisenberry. Lots of the boys and gals prefer stag ging it for the evening and will participate in a little Halloween practice. Starting early will be the ISA kids with an hour dance from 5 to 6 in the Union, parlors X Y and Z. Ben Wall and Betty Carroll say it will be a big deal. Personalities in the news: John Gilligan cleverly intercepted Mar ilyn Coupe's laundry one day and is now in possession of a p;iir of pink and blue P.J.'s. He plans to return them autographed. Something different in candy passings originated at the Sinma Kappa house Monday. It was the second time for Ruth De Baufre and Don Morgan so they gave out jelly beans. Meddling With Melick By M. J. There is an" old adage that mentions something about letting "sleeping dogs lile." Perhaps its a good idea and then again it might be better to kick them around a bit, even if they do growl. This particular breed of hound was rapped soundly in the head in the Nov. 4," 1947 edition of the Daily Nebraskan. We thought he was dead but now we discover that he has never been buried. The present issue has to do with an old "friend" who has been snarled at periodically since his first appearance at ye old alma mater. In the Daily edition which we referred to a couple of breaths ago there appeared a story concerning jver-charges of student or ganizations for coliseum use by one A. J. Lewandowski. At that time ! the following statement was printed: "In line with the new ceiling on rental, Lewandowski early this year refunded rental money in excess of $350 charged last year ('46) to the Corn Cobs and Tassels." This announcement came as a bit of a shock to the organizations concerned. They immediately set about collecting this remittance which came to something in the neighborhood of $104.50 we are notorious for our inability to add even so much as a bridge score but we stake our reputation, such as it is, that this figure represents a minimum. Since that time diligent members of Corn Cobs have been en deavoring to ehase down said sum but to no avail. As of Oct. 19, 1948 that figure has not been entered on the credit side of the Cob books. Where did it go? Has it been floating about the campus? Did some careless soul fail to record it? Is it still in the possession of the athletic department? We have a sneaking suspicion that it is. From the corner occupied by the Comptroller's office we have heard the garbled cry that $100 is a mere pittance compared to the lavish expense incurred in contracting bands lor the coliseum functions. True. Maybe the money isn't important we just ducked a blow. Anyway, Mr. Scllcck, Mr. Lewandowski and others con cerned, it "ain't" the finances, it's the principle of the thing. If $100 is pin money to a pep organization what a "drop in the bucket"' it must be to a sprawling institution like the University of Nebraska. What a paltry sum compared to the loss of face and good faith by that "reliable'' institution. For years student organizations have been bending over back wards or falling on their, faces, as the case may be to promote n happy set of relations between faculty, administration and the student body. "Leave us not quibble" over pennies. This little matter is nothing compared to the present confused status of the'athletic department if paid. But if the condition is permitted to go on uncorrected it can grow to become an issue to transcend all Issues. If students can't trust our administration, who can they trust? As we said before, it "ain't" the finances, it's the principle of the thing. You expect student confidence we ask only that you Inspire it. J.
