Today while the carnivorous "Laws"
are assembled at Capital Beach enjoy

gent'e Engineers are promoting the
cultured feats of the ancient Greeks
upon the University Athletic Field.
It goes without saying that this Field
Day will by far surpass any held in
the past. Not only have events been
arranged for the "Embryo." but the
"Profs" themselves will be given a
chance to make good class room ex
aggerations of former youthful prow
ess. One event that promises to fur

SOME INTERESTING "DOPE'
Packer and Mellor the Ames Star
Husker Squad Working Hard and
Outcome Likely to Be Decided
in Sprints and Distance
Ames competes with the Huskers on
Nebraska Field, Saturday, in the first
Valley meet of the season. To win the
first meet is half the campaign, and
knowing this full well. Coach Reed
and his squad are putting forth every
effort in preparation for the opening
of the Valley season Saturday.
The Cyclones have a formidable ar
ray of sprinters and distance men,
headed by Mellor, Packer, and Bour
land. The meet will probably be de
cided in these events, for Nebraska's
weakness in the jumps is offset by
scarcity of weight material in the
Ames camp.
Packer is the particular star of the
Ames squad, and will represent the
Farmers in both the high and low
hurdles, the discus, the shot put, and
the broad jump. Mellor is entered in
the 440 and the half-mile relay. At
the Drake games, running first for
Ames in the mile event, the Cyclone
sprinter wa.s caught at 50Vs, which is
exceptional time. Mellor ran first for
Ames at Drake, but it is probable that
he will finish for the Cyclones, Satur
day. Some interesting dope may be had
by comparing the time made by the
Cyclone athletes in the annual home
meet which the Iowa school holds in
preparation for the first Valley strug
gle, and the summary of the Husker
Coyote meet last Friday. Mellor, run
ning the four-forty, covered the dis
tance in o5; Bates' time in the Coyote
meet was 54. Packer, in the low
hurdles, made 28; Goetze won first
for Nebraska in the Wesleyan meet in
2SH- The fastest time in the Ames
home meet at 100 yards was 10;
Scott and Irwin, ran neck and neck at
10 V Burris. Ames' varsity represen
tative in the high jump, cleared the
bar at 5 feet 7 inches. At University
Place the Huskers were eliminated at
5 feet four inches. In the broad jump.
Packer sailed through the air a dis
tance of 19 feet 7 inches; Nebraska's
best mark last Friday wa3 18 feet 10
inches.
