stead of on the Athletic Field as orig

unable to drill to advantage because
of the lack of room. This fact caused
much trouble to the commanding offi
cers. The judges were, Captain Robert L
' Hamilton, U. S. A.; Lieut. William C.
Stoll, U. S. A.; and Captain Herman
F. Kramer. X. N. G. A silver loving

International Relations to Meet
at Cornell

ceived of a Student Conference of In
ternational Relations tob e held at
Cornell University, June 15-30, 1915.

of a more rational system of itner-
ntaional relations for the future. The
theory seems tob e that the plague of
modern civilization in the present
European war emphasizes the neces
sity of a searching analysis of mm
tarism and the philosophy of force,
which has dominated the international
relations of the past, for the purpose
of finding the truth.
This promises tob e an interesting
conference as well as very helpful to
all students who 6hall be able to at
tend it. Among the speakers obtained
are listed Norman Angell. author of
the "Great Illusion," G. Lowe Dickin
son of Cambridge 1'niversity, Eng
land. Applications for admissioa should
be sent to Dr. George W. Xasmytb.,

FAMOUS TRACK STARS
VISIT THE UNIVERSITY
Visitors Take Possession of the Gym
nasium at a Forbidden Hour
Watchman Disapproved
Nebraska has been the unknowing
host of some of the most famous ath
letes who ever stepped off American
60d, so thinks the campus watchman
It seems that while making his
rounds at some forbidden, hour he
came upon a group of scantily -clad
youths making free use of the baths
and lockers. Naturally he thought
them to be students, and set about im
mediately taking their names for
future judgment. ' But seemingly he
had broken in on a quiet practice of
a rare congregation of track notables.
The first one addressed, a long, rangy
lad, astounded the wTathful watchman
by modestly confessing that his name
was Ted Meredith. John Paul Jones,
Davenport, and Craig, gave their
names when requested so non-con
cernedly1 that before he had half com
pleted the group the watchman was
tempted to ask pardon for intruding
and auioily withdraw. It is indeed to
be regretted that when we have as
our guests such noted men they must
rbe disturbed while indulging in a quiet
workout.

TRACK 1 LEAVE
FIVE MEN WILL START FOR CO
LUMBIA THIS AFTERNOON
ARE ENTERED IN FOUR EVENTS
One Hundred, Two-Twenty, Half-Mile
Relay, and Pole Vault Only Con
tests In Which Nebraska Will
Compete Dope Scarce
Zumwinkle, Scott, Bates, Irwin and
Reavis, Nebraska's only representa
tives In the Valley Meet, will leave for
Columbia this afternoon, accompanied
by Coach Stiehm. The list of events
in which Nebraska is entered Satur-,
day reaches four: The one hundred
yard dash, the two-twenty, half-mile
relay and pole vault. Scott and Ir
win will run Sn the hundred, and
Zummie in the two-twenty. Reavis Is
NebYaska's representative in the pole
vault.
Less dope is issuing from Columbia
these days than has been forthcoming
from the scene of a Valley rendezvous
in many a year. So many records were
broken last spring tha this branch of
speculation is left almost featureless.
New records in the pole vault and
four-forty are under serious considera
tion, it seems, while Dickinson of
Ames may establish a two-twenty
mark which will stand for future
gnerations to aim at. Reavis in the
pole vault is the subject of some little
discussion at the hands of Tiger
scribes. They calculate he must be
some flyer all right, but insist upon
living up to the slogan of their state.
In the meantime they are casting fond
eyes on the work of their own repre
sentative, Floyd, in his daily practice.
Tn the one hundred, Irwin and Scott
are mentiond as possible placers, and
Zummie, who will run in the two
twenty instead of his usual four
ofrty, is selected as a pointmaker in
the shorter distance by a clever line
of dope. They reason that being a
first class four-forty man, should he
be able to place in the preliminaries,
he will reach the finals in better con
dition than his competitors who have
been running the two-twenty-all sea
son. This line of reasoning is upset
however, when his physical condition
is taken into consideration.
The Tigers are justly building fond
hopes for well-balanced squad. Strong
on both the track and field, their
chances to outpoint one-sided teams
like Ames land Kansas fare bright.
Track events- seem to be pretty even
ly divided between Missouri and
Ames, with the Tigers a big favorite,
however, on the field.
