But Rourko belleven that the weather '.n Oklahoma City is different than that of Joplln and at least Is hoping for somo good workouts.

(fipeclal.) The Cornhusker athletes are having a mlghtv busy season of preparation Just now on the eve of the Missouri valley conference basket ball season and the out-of-door sport on the track. Indoor practice for track athletics started this week under the direction of both Coach Sttehm and K'a"af?r ' 'l?

City Indoor meet, which Is held on March 1, Lor only a little more than a month away All the schools In he Missouri Valley conference generally enter teams In this event, but It generally simmers down to a struggle between th eblg rival schools of the valley Missouri, Kansas, Ames and Nebraska. Missouri, with Its grand meet In the sprints the Dwellers have three men who 'will give any school In th west a close run. May Is the veteran of the trio this being his third year as u Cornhusker.

Wherry, a member of the squad last spring, is eligi ble ugaln this year. Two Vrtcrnu 1'ole Vaiiler. In the pole vault an event In wnlch Nebraska wus weak last year, 'the Tene ment Dwellers hav two veterans of former years. Reavls and Llndstrom both reported at the Initial practice and have been worklrfg all week. Llndstrum broke the Cornhusker record In the vault at the Indoor meet In Omaha twq year? ago and Reavls has a record of something like U feet 6 Inches. Reed will have no occasion for worry ylth these two men ln the running. In the weight events the Tenement squad has a wealth of material. Dewey Harmon, the big Cornhusker foot ball star, upon whom has fallen the burden of representing Nebraska In tho weight events the past two seasons, is still eligible. Harmon was good enough tn win from all competeltors In the Missouri Valley schools last season, but he will not be able to defeat his own teammates this season If the new men duplicate the records made by them while they were freshmen. Reese Is a shotputter of exceptional merit, while Hansen, Stryker and I'rnW wood have also shown as much if not more ability than Harmon. For dnce It looks as though Nebraska would have a good man In the high Junvp, Young Wiley has a record of 5 feet 10(4 Inches as a high sohool athlete, made at the meet of the Nebraska Intersoholasttc association In Lincoln two years ago.

What is the-Matter Does Jumbo Stiehm IIY ILVIli: K. Ul.l.lO'lT. This article Is written on tho premise that the plan of coaching foot ball teams at the University ot Nebraska Is not sat isfactorythat It Is not productive of as efficient elevens as could be brought out through other methods which might bo udoptul at only a small Increase over appropriation now made for gridiron In struction. No criticism udverse to Coach lSwald Stlehm, hrad Ot tho athletic pyHtem cf the Cornhusker Institution, Is intendul I ere; Coach Stlehm, the writer believes, is a capable young .foot ball teacher, and one who should remain at tho University of Nebraska. ll4-ls u clean, proficient tutor, with much energy, a large amount of enthusiasm for his work, and with a sharp conception of what should he dono to get good results from the material at his commands Fault In System. The fault In the present system at Ne braska lies. In the fact that all the respon sibility and practically all the work ' In manufacturing an eleven rests entirely upon one nan's shoulders. Yale has pioved that one man cannot make an eleven which will win against teams who are coached by a board of teachers whose combined knowledge- Is much more ef fective tn getting a great foot ball ma chine than the strength and power of one man can possibly be. There are too many rough places In every foot ball eleven for one or two men to smooth-out; a set of tescjiers and advisers must be- had for one or two or three men miss vmany faults of a -squad faults which an ad visory board would catch and remedy through suggesting what should be done, for Improvement. Nebraska needs and must have next fall In order to defeat Minnesota a noup of four or five assistants for Coach Stlehm. It also should have an advisory board of five members, composed of urn who are Intimate with the various stages of Cornhusker foot ball advancement. Action la Iimirrntlrr. The situation ut Nebraska demands lm- 1 mod,ate attent-on. A sound revision of the ' - " . . !' Tolliver Throws Young Olson Two ' Times with Ease Jack Tolliver of Omaha took straight Infulls from Young Olson of Kansas Cltyllng tournament ot the international last night before tho Flambeau club ln Its new headquarters, 1115 Harney street, Tolliver won tho first fall In nlno and one-half minutes with a lmmmerlock and half nelson. The second fall went to him In seven minutes with a bar hold. The match was one of unusual speed, llotd men worked hard at nil times, Ol son's strength wbb a hindrance to him as he did not know what to do when he secured a position of advantage. On the other hand Tolliver used IiIb knowledge of tho game to much advantage and had little trouble with his adversary. Ho took tho defensive most of tho tlmo until he hud his opponent more or less winded and then turned the trick. In the preliminaries Jack Gormun of Omaha defeated L. Champ of St. Louis In twclvo nnd one-half minutes with n full nelson. Will Land or of Colorado In a handicap match threw Charlie Rubul and Ed Mankln In seventeen minutes, ho having twenty minutes to down both men. Jnck Myers and Paul Byers, both of Omaha, went twcnty-flvo minutes to a draw in a fast and exciting bout.

Need Help in the Cornhusker foot ball policy should come before tho close of school in tho spilug Coach Kwald Stlehm needs the help of more men, he has admitted that one man cannot do all that he should. Ixist fall he worked remarkably hard und really built up a fine eleven, considering tho conditions which surrounded him. Tho writer criticised the piny of the Corn buskers nt times lust fall, hut no censuro of the coach was meant. It was said that tlie offense was not proficient in certain games the Kansas battle being a notable example of the weakness of the Corn husker attack but Coach Stlehm was not blamed. Truo, he may have been at fault In some Instances; but where In the country Is there not a coach who does not fall on one or more cases? It was the Cornhusker system that was at fault. Too llltf for One Man. Not even theoretically can one nan shape an eleven so that It will win game after game; encounter teams drilled by some of tho best coaches ot the country, and play elevens that are trained the wlioU season Just to w)n tho game with this single coach's machine. This onu mun must necessarily be handicapped ln many ways. In the ase of Stlehm, vho Ib still young, there Is the handicap ot Inexperience; he has not been out of college long and Is less than 30 ycarb old. There are many, many phases of a foot ball situation which he cannot be expected to meet adequately, and no body of foot ball men should expect him to meet them fully. One man must be at the head ot the coaching system; his word must be final, and to him every foot ball man must look, but there should be other teachers t) carry out his commands, to drill certain players, to remedy the faults of others, and then there should be the advisory board of old heads, who know the gamo well, to teach the squad and to advice the head coach. Director Stlehm would not need to accept the suggestions of this body unless he wlvhed, but he wou il be greatly helped by all the thoughts that the board would give him, and there Is no doubt that he would learn much ' r w ' -J; fj- i Ml day night. Coleman challenged Hokuf to a finish match at any time for a 1100 side bet or for tho entire gatn receipts.

The sched ulcd twenty-round lightweight prize fight between "Hud" Anderson of Vanvouver, Wash., and Sammy Trott of Columbus, O., at tho Vernon Arena today was stopped by the refereo and the decision was given to Anderson at tho end of the sixth round. Trott had taken the ccunt of nlno twice In this round. Work of Coaching? from them that would assist In getting a better Cornhusker eleven. .Nd ANNUtuiit Conrlim. Of course the greatest need at Ne braska In more assistant conches. Teach ers for the line, for the ends and for tho hacks are lacking. There should ho eight or ten men on Nebraska field nxt fall before the Important games, Onn coach should have two or three players depend ing upon him, and he should drive them hard. At other big schools of the coun try, such Is the situation. JuBt before the Nebraska contest last full Northrop field at Minnesota was flooded with coaches and advisers, and the Gophers were rounded out Into ono of the best teams In the west rounded out, too, from a squad of green. Inexperienced players. Poller Very Wfnk, The present foot ball policy of Nebraska has proved Its worthlessness. During a period of twelvo years the Cornhuskers have been meeting Minnesota, and ln all that time they have won but a single game. Many wonderful foot ball men have entered and left Nebraska during those years. There was lots and lots of fine material nender, Westover, Hunter, Shonka, Franke, Purdy, Collins, Kwlnft, Harvey, Johnson, Cotton, Matters, Harte, 4eltzer, Cooke, etc. and still the success of tho (Jornhuskcrs In any but Missouri valley contests has been very small. Min nesota has won repeatedly, but because It was better coached, not because It had beetter men. The team tho Cornhuskers sent to Gopherdom last fall was pomssed of many sterling players, and man tor man, was the superior of the Minnesota team. It. was defeated. Williams and his as sistants did the work; not the men who fought the battle. Stlehm has his team well drllUd; they played a magnificent game (remember, they had the game practically won until tho last few minutes of the battle) and they should have been returned a winner, this despite the fact that Minnesota was In superior shape for the battle.
