decision to revolutionize athletics at
Nebraska comes as compliment to
the efforts OF The Bee in its cam
paign for the recognition of mass"
athletics in Nebraska and the Mis-
souri, valley. "Our idea" Mr.. Has
kell said yesterday. like that of The
Bee, is TO have every student under
go a physical examination to admit
him to some branch of sports. Ne
braska virtually adopts this plan.
Though Lewhring will have the
option of recommending a foot ball
coach, it is likely that the matter
this fall will be left in the hands of
the university alumni. Three men
have been recommended for the job
Owen Frank, Harold Mulligan
and Max Towle-a1l former foot ball
stars at Lincoln. Mulligan is the
favorite in that he has obtained dy-
mamie success in high school circles.
State Alumni Assist.
That there was any friction be-
tween alumni of Omaha and Lin
coin in recommending a successor to
ex-Coach Stewart is emphatically
denied here. The Lincoln faction,
though boosting the candidacy of
Henry Schultz, present coach at the
University of Missouri, co-operated
with tie Omaha alumni in securing
the services of Lewhring of Prince
ton.
Under the new regime it is proba-
bic that a speciality foot ball coach
will always be retained. For time
it was thought that an offer for the
fall term would be made to Schultz,
but considering that the appoint
ment would be temporary only, it
was deemed inexpedient to approach
the Missourian on these terms.
Schultz is track coach.
Considering that the new director
is an expert in both track and bas-
ket ball, his appointment is brill
liam achievement. Nebraska has
long been weak in basket ball and
track. But in track her prospects
for 1920 are exceedingly brilliant.
Ex-Coach Stewart, who Isl known
in the country as a track expert,
predicted national victory next
spring.
Word from Lincoln indicated that
the foot ball squad would turn out
early in September or probably the
latter part of August. Assistant
Coach Paul Schisler, formerly men-
tor at Hastings college, is at present
in charge of the squad and will drill
the men in the absence of a coach.
The first game will be October
with the University of Iowa at Iowa
City.

MASS CONTROL
now ON TRIAL
AT UNIVERSITY
Chancellor Avery Announces
Appointment of Princeton
Coach to Dictatorship
and Changes.
BY KARL LEE.

A decisive victory in the fight of
Nebraska boosters for the Inaugural
ton of system of mass" athletic
control at the University of Ne
braska was won this week when
Chancellor Samuel Avery, formally
announced that the state board had
offered the dictatorship to F. w.
Lewhring, director of athletics at
Princeton. university. The offer has
been accepted.
The new director will assume
charge of the athletic department at
Lincoln early next spring, probably
in April, when his contract at the
eastern college terminates. In the
meantime, it is announced, he will
have moral charge of the football
and basket ball campaigns, probably
naming a coach for each or both.
The late war has demonstrated
that universities must meet the
growing demand for physical train
ing of all of its Students Vincent
Haskell, secretary of the Omaha
alumni of the University of Ne
braska, said in letter to the writer
this week. "And Chancellor Avery
has felt that the university should
meet this demand, and accordingly
requested the alumni to assist him
in the selection of the very best
man available to meet this new sys-
tenn of athletics"
Lewhrig is one of the leading ath-
letic directors of the eastern col
legiate circle. During his five years
association with Princeton univer-
sity he has earned an enviable rep
utation as basket ball and track
coach, as we'll as director of
mass" athletics. His coming should
mark new era in Cornhusker ath-
letics.

Those of us who have been accus- toned to stroll out to Riverside park on Sundays gone, where we can get a breath of as fresh air as there is; who have been cooped up in offices and stores and shops all the week, longing for couple of hours at regular ball game; who have hoped against hope that there was enough of us fans left in the city to get up a scrub game, at least, an a vacant lot or in a back yard somewhere-what will we do today?
 Well, take a stroll out to Eastlake park and smell the posies; take ride over to Mesa and watch the Cubs tackle the Dixon outfit; if we had thought of it in time, we might have gone with the White Sox up to Pres cott t.t-. 4.t.... .
 For the time being, at any rate, we can kiss the old ball game farewell. All these fine uniforms we have con- tributed to Phoenix ball teams will be seen everywhere but in Phoenix for the time. For, by our inaction and lack of interest, we have practically in vited scores of healthy young athletes to get out of town and exercise Fine way to treat our home boys, isn't it? You ask an outside ball team to come over to Phoenix to play ball. and they turn up their noses and refer to their own home diamonds, saying: "No, you fellows come on over here. Our people like baseball and stand back of US. Your Phoenix folks, well, they don't seem to want us any more"
 Take my word for it-you can't stop these red-blooded youngsters from playing ball; you may not give them chance at home to give vent to their pent-up exuberance, but they'll play ball just the same, in spite of you. Where are all you fans that pretend such interest in baseball? Have you all gone to sleep? Don't you care? :? Going to let the old game fall by the wayside? Haven't you any outdoor spirit left? Are you satisfied to let your city be the only one on the western side of the continent without, any ath- | letic inspiration?
 You haven't a baseball game ssched- uled in Phoenix tomorrow nor any other day to come. You have crowded the sport completely off the map. The fault is your own, and if there is any regret to 1t, it's proper punishment for your own indifference. Turn over m bed this morning and sleep little longer.

FOUR WORLD RELAY
 RECORDS SHATTERED

PHILADELPHIA. June 7.- Four worlds records were broken today at the Meadowbrook games on Franklin field, when four University of Penn sylvania sprinters lowered the relay figures in the 400 meters, 440yards, soc meters and SS0-yard events. The rec ords for the 500 meters and the sS0 yards were the first to go when W. c. Raymond, F. S. Davis. Sherman Lam oers and E. W Smith, running for Pennsylvania, won the SS0-yards race. Two strings were put up. one at 800 meters and the other at $50 yards. and two sets of timers were used The time Of the Pennsylvania quarter was I:26 Is seconds for the 800 meters. The former time was 1:36, made by a Swedish team at the 1908 Olympic games.
 The new time for the SS0-yards was 1:27 4-5 seconds, breaking the old rec crd of 1929 2-5, made by Chicago University team Tn 1915. The 400 meters was run in the new time of 42 2-5 sec7 ords, lowering the worlds figure of 42 3-5 seconds made by a German team at the 1912 Olympic games. :
 The new figures for the 440-yards are AZ 3-5 seconds, against the old fig ures of A seconds made by the Chicago A. A. in the A. A. U. championships of | 1917, and in which Landers was one of the runners.
 Joie Ray of the Illinois A. c. failed in his attempt to break the worlds record for the mile in two tries.
