scratch, while his machine spiintered about
him. The engine was badly damaged both
blades OF the propeller were snapped off
short, the planes were torn into strips, ana
one wheel OF the running gear was
wrenched completely off. When an army
ambulance, which dashed out from Camp
selaridge, near which the accident occur
red, reached the avistors side, Latham
was found ruefully inspecting the wreck
OF his machine and putting hard on a con-
selling cigarette.
Latham was distinctly blue" over the
mishRp and declared he probably would
not be able to participate further in the
local meet But his meohRnieians took a
more hopeful view of the situation and
asserted they might be able 10 repair the

K @. Clapp, secretary OF the CornhuskeI
Athletic board said Tuesday evening that
he expected the board TO select an all-yeaI
coach within the next few days.
Matters have dragged along for nearly
two months and the students as well as
the alumni, are exceedingly anxious that
It be closed up DR.. Clapp said that while
he was east he met with a number of APP
plicants for the job, lie has now com
peted his investigation and it is thought
that the board will be ready to act upon
the applications.
Or. Clapp denied that he had talked
with Johnny McGovern while he was east
and did not believe that MoGovern was a
possibility. The news that Johnny Bender
had signed up for another year with St
Louis created a sensation in athletic cir.
Giles Tuesday. Captain shonka, who has
been warm advocate of Bender's during
the entire campaign for the return of the
former Cornhusker star, was Disguised to
think that Nebraska had lost him.
I'VE ought to have had Bender; that's
all there is to IT," declared shonks.
May Re Benedict.
Who the board has in mind now is
largely matter of conjecture, but the
canvass of Benedict's friends Is winning
the faculty members to his side.
DR.. Clapp said that he was satisfied with
the actions of the Missouri valley confer
enee himself, although disappointed to
think that base ball stood in danger OF
adjustment at Nebraska. The secretary
said that he favored the adjustment but
only for the time being and he had heard
two other members of the board express
themselves similarly Hence 1t would look
like base bail would be abandoned at Ne
braska next spring as far as collegiate
contests we're concerned,
THE members of the conference were
all conscientious in their stand on base

was not to the liking Of the Cornhuskers
They all believe that base ball can b'
played at their schools without the assist

Omaha. from the viewpoint OF the western

the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing

always return. Nature will heal any
