The NCAA had tried desper
ately to enforce the "sanity
code," by tr.viiig to put teeth in
their penalty clause of the code.
Even though the "seven-sinners"
managed to "beat the rap",
on the expulsion count, they are
now . faced with being barred
from participating in any NCAA
events.
This, in fact, reaches the coal
of the "Puritists" at the New
j
- fy T -J Alt if m: fj
York meeting when they wanted
to expel them. The most they
could do would be barring them
from the NCAA sponsored com
petition. This competition includes the
basketball, truck, basebull and all
other tournaments'. For not com-
I plying with these rules as set
forth by the "sanity code," they
i are denied the privileges offered
the other schools.
These schools, associated with
the NCAA, have set up their code
a code which every school
should be morally bound. This is
a basic law of society, but so
ciety changes its laws with the
times.
These schools have "blasted'
with almost infamous words
the chargea levied on them by
their associates.
The Kev. Francis X. McGuire,
president of Vilianova which is
one of the "seven-sinners", called
Ihe action taken at the January
meeting "a subterfuge."
The point is very well taken
but there must be some kind of
code to keep schools from enter
ing into an "auction'' for the
outstanding high school athletes.
By offering these rewards",
the schools are doing away with
the old "college try". Instead of
looking at their favorite school,
athletes will be looking for the
fattest pocketbook.

Nebraska will be seeking re

pasted on the Cornhuskeis at
Colorado.
To Match Stride
Ed Weir's track outfit will
match strides with Missouri in a
meet which might be a preview
of the Iiig Seven meet to be held
in Kansas City next mon'h. The

fourth straight victory. Iast
week, mighty Kansas State fell to
Coach Weir's boys.
The other Nebraska squad
which will play at home will be
the Nebraska 15 basketball team.
They will encounter the frosh be
fore the feature basketball game.
The wrestling squad, fresh
from their victory over Wiscon
sin, will journey to Stillwater to
tangle with the Oklahoma A &
M sauad. Coach Patterson will
have a tough job on his hands, as (
Oklahoma is rated as one of the
top mat teams in the country.
Herb Reese Leads
Leading the Cornhuskeis will
be Herb Reese at 175 pounds,
and Mike DiHiase in the heavy
weight division.
The tankers, for the second
week in a row, will travel away
from their own pool to meet stiff
competition. This Friday they
will journey to Kansas, while on
Saturday tiiey will move on to
Oklahoma. Leading the tankers
will be Ed Craren, ace diver, who
is expected to achieve winning
laurels in the diving event.
Marv Grimm, who has re
turned to the team after an early
season injury, is hoping to be
near full strength for the meets.
Grimm will participate in the 50
and 100 yard free styles and the
300 yard relay.
First Gymnast Trip
The gymnastics team will take
to the road for their first trip of
the season. Although losing to
Colorado University last week,
the gymnasts are near top peak,
and will give Minnesota a rough
time. The Gophers have one of
the top teams In the mid-west.
Al Dunavan, ace Nebraska
gymnast will lead the Huskers on
tiie horizontal bar, parallel bars,
rings, and tumbling. Al is leading
the scorers on the Nebraska team.

and will not count toward team
totals.

shs State at Manhattan. On Feb
