Dean of Men Organizes Alumni
in California and Receives
Many Encouraging
Promises.

Drawn up for Next
Fall.
Dean of Men, Fred T. Dawson, re
turned Saturday night from Califor
nia, bringing with him a message of
Bupport and encouragement for Ne
braska and its athletic teams and a
promise of financial support for the
stadium from Nebrsaka alumni in
California. He expects that ahoti'
$10,000 will be realized for the sta
dium from their pledges.
Coach Dawson made the trip to
California with the Dusker track team
which gave such an excellent account
of itself in the dual meet with the
Bears. At three meetings which he
held with alumni on the coast, many
of those present drove great dis
tances, some as far as ISO miles. At
all three a spirit of loyalty to the
University and a pride in its accomp
lishments were shown. On March 29.
Coach Dawson met with about 100
former students at Los Angeles in
connection with a dinner given by
them in honor of the track team. An
alumni banquet was held at Berkeley
April a and another at Long Beach
April 9.
While Coach Dawson talked with
athletic authorities at Stanford, Uni
versity of Southern California and
California University nothing definite
ly was done in arranging a future
game with Nebraska.
With his return impetus also has
been added to spring football prac
tice which has been going on daily
under the direction of Coaches Farley
Young and Owen Frank. The number
turning out daily Is not as large as
should he expected. One reason for
this is that many of the gridsters are
participating in other spring sports.
Coach Dawson is pointing Ynit to the
men that with the strong schedule
Nebiaska has for next fall, none of
them can afford to neglect the sprint
practice. If necessary, efforts may
be made shortly to increase the at
tendance. y

from their Missouri trip with new
scalps hanging from their belts. The
two victories which they wrested from
the Missouri Tigers by 13-3 and 10-1
