XXIII NO. 159 ENTER 250 MEN IN TRACK MEET Two Special Races on Card for Sixteenth Annual Val ley Tourney. COACH SCHULTE MAKES STATEMENT ON CONTEST Schulte's Statement. Friday preliminaries and Satur day finals for the Missouri Valley championship will be the biggest event ever put on in the state of Ne braska in fact, the whole Valley, exclusive of the Drake relays. A great football game brings to gether the twelve or fifteen best men of the two contending universities. The Valley track meet will bring together the carefully trained dozen or more men from all the universities in the Valley and outstanding stars from several of the smaller colleges. With such spectacular performers as we have in the Valley this year, and with the great Joie Ray, Watson and Riley, all of whom are out for rec ords, there is no question as to the quality of the meet. Incidentally, Nebraska is running this meet for the Valley. If we lose money the Valley schools carry the loss. That is a tradition in the Val ley. For this reason season tickets and N men's passes are not accepted. (I am going to observe the tradition myself, and buy tickets.) But bear this in mind: The meet as an attraction will be as great as the Notre Dame-Nebraska game. Yours for Nebraska, HENRY F. SCHULTE. With 264 men entered for the six teenth annual Missouri Valley track and field championships and such great runners as Joie Ray and Ray Watson, in a special distance race with Riley and Levi in a special 400 meter race hurdle race- the meet ac cording to all indications will be the history of th Valley. The nine members of the Missouri Valley con ference and seven non-conference colleges to be represented will fur nish thrills equal only to that of the Notre Dame game. Riley is the present American In tercollegiate champion in the 400 meter hurdles. He won the vent at the great Penn relays this spring. John Levi, from Haskell Institute, is considered a great possibility for the Olympic team, and is thought to be a greater athlete than the world renowned James Thorpe, the Car lisle Indian athlete.
