IF WEATHER FAVORABLE
Four Hundred. Participants Ar
rive in Lincoln Today and
Tomorrow
Four hundred high school tracksters
representing forty high schools of the
state are expected to arrive in Lincoln
today and tomorrow morning, for the
annual high school track and field
meet. Tomorrow afternoon promptly
;,l two o'clock on Nebraska field, the
program of the big athletic carnival
will start with the 100 yard dash, the
first of thirteen events. The teams
have been divided into three group
and separate competitions in every
event will be conducted in each group
Track teams from all the large
towns of the state will compete in the
track meet tomorrow. The teams have
been preparing for the state meet b
a series of dual triangular and invita
tlon meets. The teams have been
well rounded into shape by these
meets and are expected to show up
well Saturday.
According to the dopesters, Omaha
Central, who has won six of the state
track meets, has the best chance of
winning the honors in group three this
year. The Omaha cinder men were
second last year. North Platte also
has a strong team and promises to put
up a hard fight for first place. Beat
rice, who won the meet last year, lost
all her stars by graduation and is not
in the running.
A majority of the schools are en
tered in group two and the closest
competition will probably be wit
nessed there. Ansley, Cambridge,
Gothenburg, Tectimseh and Wilber all
have strong teams and a merry fight
among these teams for the group two
laurels is promised. Wilber captured
first honors in the Pentathelon and
Ansley and Cambridge placed In the
first six teams.
The century dash in group three
will be one of the prettiest races ever
seen at the state meet. Twenty-nine
speed artists from the larger schools
will run in this race. Among the
sprinters who will compete in this
event are Beerkle of Omaha Central,
who tied the state record of 10 1-5
seconds; Wier of Superior, 1922 pan-
thelon champion, Locke of North
Platte, ad Trlba of Columbus.
With Cavorable weather conditions,
several state high school records are
due to fall Saturday. Rhodes of Ans
ley, who has vaulted twelve feet this
year. Is expected to break the state
record of eleven feet, six Inches,
which he made last year. Lewis, the
big Lincoln negro, who has been
throwing the discus between 115 and
120 feet and heaving the shot well
opor fortysix feet, will shatter the
state records In these events If he Is

PROF. M. M. FOGG
15 LEAGUE F
University Professor Organized
State Debating League
in 1908 ?
The Nebraska High School Debat
ing League was organized in 1903 by
Prof. M. M. Fogg at the request of
schoolmen of the state. It started
with thirty schools, and soon grew
.o about one hvndred. Several states
have modeled leagues on Nebraska's.
Thh year over a hundred debates
have been held in eleven districts
cn the c.iurtion of the closed-open
shot.
To aid schools with limited library
facilities, abstracts, compiled under
the direction of the league president,
were made of seventy-five authorita
tive books and articles on the closed
shop question and furnished at cost
through the Debating and Public Dis
cussion Bureau of the University Ex
tension Division.
Soon after the league started
teachers organized the Argumentation
Section of the State Teachers Asso
ciation for discussion of questions re
lating to the secondary-school teach
ing of argumentative composition and
oral discussion.
