The Cornhusker track team in
1909 faced the worst conditions at
the opening of the season that any
vt.,.cV track team had ver con
tended with but the 1909 cinder
ph artists concluded the season
with undoubtedly the classiest and
best rounded team that ever repre
tA the Scarlet and Cream.
The first competition on the Hus
ker slate was a dual meet with the
Jlorningside College team at Sioux
City, Iowa, which the Nebraskans
easily won 62 to 41. One week later
the Husker thinclads journeyed to
the stronghold of the Minnesota Go
phers and in a downpour of rain de
feated the northern rival 55 1-2 to
42 1-2.
The most exciting track meet of
the season was the Kansas-Nebraska
dual meet at Lincoln. The Husker
rivals from the southern neighbor
state were beaten by one lone point
in one of the closest meets that Ne
braska had ever participated in since
'track had been inaugurated at Ne
braska. The final score was 59 to 58.
Store in Valley Meet
On June 3, thirteen Cornhusker
tracksters, all in the best of condi

GREEKS CLOSE
BANQUET PLANS
Favorable Ticket Sales and
Entertainment Feature
Indicate Big Event
WEAVER IS SPEAKER
With the ticket sale progressing
rapidly and plans for entertainment
nearing completion, the committee in
charge of the annual Interfraternity
banquet, to be held Wednesday, May
4, at the Scottish Rite Temple, look
for it to be the most successful ban
quet ever held.
A. J. Weaver of Falls City has con
sented to be the speaker of the eve
ning, Mr. Weaver is a prominent
political leader and agriculturist and
is closely connected with state and
national affairs. He attended the
University of Nebraska, receiving the
degree of bachelor of laws in 1896.
Dean Chatburn will give a short
address explaining the method used
in selecting those fraternities which
are to receive plaques. The plaques
themselves will be presented by Prof.
E. F. Schramm, chairman of the
Inter-Fraternity council. The Hainer
scholarship trophy, which is now in
the possession of Beta Theta Pi, will
be presented at this time to the fra
ternity having the higest scholastic
standing for the year of 1926.
All of the fraternities ar closing
their tables and are adding the price
of the banquet to their house bills.
It is believed that this system will
insure a 100 percent turn out.
It has been the custom in former
years to have only large tables thus
forcing all of the fraternities to be
mixed together. The plan this year
is to have smaller tahlM and to have
each fraternity occupy its own table.
It has been the desire of the com
mittee this year to make the banquet
as short as possible. With this idea
in' view plans for only one speaker
have been made. The present ar
rangement will allow everyone to
leave by 7:30 o'clock.
Entertainment during the meal is
to be furnished by Wilbur Chenoweth
and Harold Turner, who will put on
a fwo-piano act. The Revelers orch
estra will also play during the ban
quet.

cial reference to the problem of im
