Parley s-Phetv!
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.

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

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.

Imagine the Union Activities
Committee sitting up for hours
and hours with thir heads in
their hands and twelve boxes o'
biomo-selter beside them, try
ing to think up ideas for lessons!
They knew that this bein' a col
lege institution, someone should
learn something besides the 4!)
rules lor more enjoyable cub
bing. So they thunk and they thunk,
and they finally came up with
the new, improved, better-than-ever-before
lessons for leisure
time BRIDGE und DANCING!
Said programs are designed to
lessen the number of social errors
(and social duds) on NU cam
pus in only six (6) short weeks.
"Bridge" the Gap.
The honor's the thing in a
bridge lesson by Dale Ball. Dale
is the official Culbertson expert
who is on hand in Room 315 every
Thursday at 4 p. m. to help you
with honor count, bidding, trumps
and scoring. Why be a social out
cast at that 20-minutes-to-6
bridge session every day? It only
takes a few lessons to learn to
really enjoy the game.
The series of six lessons began
Oct. 14, but Dale is planning a
review of last week's work so
