DANGERS OF FUTURE SEEN
"One of the real dangers in the

development of our societies is a cer
tain aloofness which is a product of
the individualism characteristic of
American life," declared Dr. Henry
B. Ward before the annual Phi Beta
Kappa-Sigma Xi meeting held Friday
evening in the Social Sciences aud

easily cultivated to excess, in the
particular member, especially when
he is young and impressionable, by
the emphasis naturally laid upon the
value and power of the particular
organization.
"Let us, however, not forget that
each organization is but a part of the
picture; that vital contact between
organizations is essential for the
proper development of the university
organism," he continued. "Then we

LINCOLN CLAIMS TITLE
Gothenburg Takes Champion
ship of Group II and Teka
mah Tops Group I Score
Five state records were shattered
by high school athletes in the twenty
fifth annual Nebraska high school
track and field meet held at the Sta
dium Friday and Saturday. Lincoln
won group III with 37 1-2 joints.
Grand Island taking second with
31 1- points. Gothenburg was high
in group II with 33 points, leading
Crete by four points. Tekamah was
victorious in group I, but was closely
pressed by Nelson and Fairfield.
Morris of Grand Island annexed a
new state record in the pole vault,
when he cleared the bar at 12 feet
1 inch. He attempted three times to
negotiate 12 feet 3 inches, but failed
to make the heighth.
First New Record
The first record set Saturday after
noon was in the discus, when Creigb
ton of Gothenburg made a toss of
126 feet 11 inches, to displace that
of 124 feet II inches, made by Ly
man last year.
Bailey of Scottsbluff duplicated
his last year's performance of firsts
in the 220 and 440 in Group III.
Taking it easy in the Friday prelim
inaries, he went unnoticed except by
those who knew him. Saturday he
cut loose to nose out Lambert of
Kearney and Tomson of Lincoln in
the 220. Then he strode through the
440 in great shape to set a new re
cord of 54.1. All four first place men
bested the former record which had
been set the day before by Allen of
Norfolk at 61.8 seconds. Allen fin
ished second in the finals, running
faster than the day before but un
able to match strides with the long
legged Westerner.
Tomsoa "Comesback"
Tomson of Lincoln, although beat
en in both the 100 and 220 yard
dashes, upset the dope by not only
winning the broad jump, but by set
ting a new state record of 22 feet
3-8 inches. He jumped only twice in
the meet, once Friday to qualify, and
once Saturday, his record-breaking
leap. This was only the second time
he has jumped this year.
Fuller of North Loup set a new
record in the shot put Friday only to
have White of Winnebago, Winne
bago Indian, better his mark Satur
day for another new record at 48
feet 7 1-2 inches. Creighton of Goth
enburg set a new discus mark of 126
feet 11 inches to crack the record
established last spring by Lyman of
Allen.
Wind Bother Athletes
The tracksters were bothered more
or less by a strong wind, but judging
from the number of new records, it
was not of great hindrance. A good
crowd attended the meet, and when
Morris of Grand Island made his
third try to top the vaulting stand
ards at 12 feet 4 inches, a large
number of enthusiastic reporters filed
on the field to support him.
Three one-man teams were entered
in the meet and all succeeded in tak
ing away honors. White of Winne
bago, who set the new record in shot
put, Reid of Pilger, who tied for
first in the high jump, and Randolph
of Humboldt tied for first in the pole
vault.
The scores of the teams are:
Group I
Tekamah 20, Nelspn 17 1-2, Fair
field 171-3, Comsto'ck 112-3, Wil
ber 10 5-6, Arlington 10 1-2, North
