REGENTS REFER
DEAN'S BUDGET
TO COMMITTEE
Appropriation Not Large
Enough; Finance Committee
Will Examine Estimates
REVISION IS NECESSARY
" " f
Anton Jensen Presents Com
plaint Concerning Require
ment of Doctor's Degree
The Board of Regents at its meet
ing ot 11 o'clock yesterday morning
referred the budget which has been
prepared for next year by the deans
of the colleges to the finance com
mittee for further consideration. Ac
cording to an announcement from the
chancellor's office, tne Duaget was
larger than the appropriation made
by the legislature for this purpose.
This appropriation was made by
the legislature in its last session, just
before the spring recess. In the
MAanf imp the deans of the various
Uti'" -
colleges have been preparing esti
mates of the amounts which will be
needed by their colleges next year.
These estimates have proved to be
larger than the legislature's appro
priation for running the university.
As a result it will be necessary for
the finance committee to go over
the deans' estimates and pare them
until they come within the funds
available. This means that most if
not all of the schools and colleges
will either have to curtail their plans
for next year or economize in ex
penditures. When the committee has completed
its work, the revised budget will be
referred back. to the) Board, which
will consider it and either accept it
or reject it again.
In the same meeting, ( the board
considered a report submitted by
Anton H. Jensen, instructor in the
department of romance languages.
Among other things, Mr. Jensen com
plained about the arts faculty's Ph.
D. requirement for instructors. He
gave the Board until 12 o'clock to
consider the report. At 1 o'clock he
issued an open letter to the press.

First Track
Meet Held In
1891 At Crete
Husker Men Meet Teams from
Doane, Cotner and Wes

WIN NINE FIRST PLACES
IN TEN EVENTS HELD
XXI
(Editor! Nvto)
This it the twenty-first chapter of
an historical resume of Nebraska ath
letics which has been compiled by a
member of The Daily Nebraskan
sports staff. A chapter of this ac
count will appear in each issues of
The Daily Nebraskan for the re
mainder of the school yar.
By Jack Elliott
The first track meet that was ever
recorded at the University was held
at Crete, Nebraska the first week
in June in 1891, when the Husker
tracksters ran against the teams
from Doant, Cotner and Wesleyan.
Nebraska's colors were not the scarlet
and cream but old gnld. Accommo
dations for the follwers of the "Old
Gold track team" were not like they
are today, in fact there were no ac
commodations at all.
The meet was held at the fair
grounds at Crete, which was nothing
more than a wide open prarie, with
a circle in the middle, which was
called a race track. The bell started
the first Nebraska track meet and
the Nebraska team seemed to have
things much its way from the start
to the finish. The Herperian says
that in the 440-yard dash two Ne
braska men were sitting at the tape
resting when the first Doane man
came up. There were ten events in
the meet and out of the ten Nebraska
won nine first places.
But track did not continue as did
football, but only led a medicore life
rin the sport world at Nebraska. Not
until after the coming of Coach
Henry "Indian" Schulte did Nebraska
arrive at the height of the track
wcrlj, (nd from that day on Corn-huskc--
track stars have received
world-wide fame.
The Cornhusker track tear.i in 1923
had a very successful season, win
ning two of the three dual meets
and a great number of first places in
the Missouri Valley indoor meet.
"Ed" Allen, Omaha medic star, was
captain of the 1923 track team.
The first meet of the season was
held in Kansas City at the Kansas
City Athletic club track carnival.
Kansas took first place, with Ne
braska a close second. The Missouri
Valley record in the 880-yard run
was shattered by "M id" Gardner,
Husker ace. The second meet on the
Nebraska program was tha Illinois

MORRILL HALL IS
TO BE DEDICATED
Ex-Chancellor MacLean Will
Be Speaker of Day at For
mal Ceremonies Saturday
MUSEUM TO BE INSPECTED
The formal dedication of Morrill
Hall is set for Saturday, May 28, at
2:30 o'clock, according to Dr. E. H.
Barbour, in charge of the program
Ex-Chancellor George E. MacLean,
now of Washington, D. C, will be
speaker of the day, and other ad
dresses will be made by the Hon.
Charles H. Morrill who has done
much for Nebraska education; Prof.
Paul H. Grummann of the School of
Fine Arts, and Dr. E. H. Barbour,
who represents the department of
geography and geology, and the
State Museum.
Governor McMullen, the president
of the Board of Regents and Dean
F. A. Burnett anl Chancellor Avery
may also make talks on this occas
ion. Musical entertainment will be
offered, both harp and orchestral
numbers, under the direction of Miss
Marjorie Shanefelt, assisted by the
Misses Ruth Ann Coddington, Carol
Wirts, Millecent Davis, and Sarah
Vance.
Museum To Be Open
The museum will be in order and
ready for inspection by Friday, Dr.
Barbour promised, but no installa
tions will be complete by that time.
Miss Elizabeth Dolan, Nebraska ar
tist who is doing the fresco back
grounds for the corridor cases, will
have finished her work, or practical
ly so, by then, and some of the ani
mals will be given a first pose, to be
corrected later, in order that Round
Up visitors may see what the fin
ished work will be.
Before the actual animals can be
placed in the cases, life-size draw
ings will be made, colored, and cut
out to represent them until the bones
can be properly mounted in each in
stance. In Elephant Hall, the first ele
phants, about two feet in height,
which began far back in the ologo
ceny, are now drawn and set in
place, and backgrounds for three of
these have been completed by Miss
Dolan. The plan is that, when fin
ished, these paintings of the giant
mastadons of the past will grade
from the mystic dark ages down to
the present time.
A special feature of Elephant hall
will be the Eubelodon, morrilli, a re
markable Nebraska elephant named
in honor of Mr. Morrill, which will
be set up against a background suf
ficiently painted to be ready for the
dedication exercises. Mr. Morrill in
tends to be present with his children
and grand children, on this occasion.
Dr. Barbour extends an invitation,
especially, to the "Old Grads", back
for the Roundup, who will no doubt
be interested in seeing the develop
ment of the museum, and of the
Fine Arts department in Morrill
Hall.

University of Oklahoma nosed Nebraska out of second place
with 38 5-6 points to 37 for the Cornhuskers but Frank Wirsig
ended the day in a blaze of glory for Nebraska by topping the
bar in the pole vault at 13 feet 4 27-64 inches for a new varsity,
Missouri Valley, and American intercollegiate record.
Wind made the sprints fast but slowed up the time in the
other events, forbidding any record-shattering marks in the
runs. Stalker of Oklahoma upset the dope when he defeated
his team-mate Mullins in the broad jump and set a new valley
record of 23 feet '5 1-4 inches. His record-breaking leap was
made Friday and was not bettered Saturday. n

PRICE 5 CENTS
Team-mate to Make New Re
' Conger, great Iowa State muer,
almost met his match Saturday in the
mile. Niblack of Oklahoma and
Johnson of Nebraska stuck with him
for the first half of the distance.
Then the giant Oklahoman fell be
hind. Johnson matched strides with
him another lap, then pushed him
down the back stretch of the last lap
and the rounded the corner onto the
final straightaway together but Con
ger's sprint gave him a few yards to
spare at the tape.
That was all, however, for Conger.
He wasn't even in the running in the
half-mile, finishing in the last group
in that event. His team-mate, Cau
lum, set a fast pace and slipped
through the tape inches ahead of Van
Laningham of Drake. Johnson fin
ished third, worn-out from his great
mile which had completely overcome
his conqueror, Conger.
Wirsig- Was Fettnre
Wirsig's vaulting, however, was
the great feature of the afternoon.
Four vaulters got over the bar at 12
feet 6 inches, a feat likely to be re
corded in but few college conferences
this season, but the Sargent senior
rose almost a foot more before going
out. He cleared 12 feet 10 and a
fraction inches and 13 feet 1 1-2
inches easily for successive advances
on the valley record he set last year.
He had space to spare even on his
top mark of 13 feet 4 inches. Al
though all the rest of the meet was
over, practically the entire crowd
stayed in the stands while officials
measured and remeasured the heightii
that there might be no question of its
being accepted as a new American in
tercollegiate record. He fell hcrt
by a close margin on his first two
tries at 13 feet 6 inches. On his
third try he was apparently over
when his hand caught the cross-bar
The bar bounded and then fell off.
Spoctators and coaches said that Wir
sig s attempt was as close as could be
made without successfully clearing it.
Drake upset the dope by finishing
fourth in the meet with 22 1-2 points.
Missouri University nosed Kansas
Aggies out for fifth place with 18 1-2
points to 18 for the Kaggies, Okla
homa A. and M. followed with 16 5-6,
Iowa State with 16, Grinnell with 15
and Washington with 12.
Grady of Kansas flashed to victory
with ease in both sprints, giving Far
ley the most decisive beating he has
received thu year. Grady's time of
9.6 in the 100-yard dash was run
with a strong breeze at his back so
will not be considered as equalling
the valley record set last year by
Roland Locke.
Martin Ran Nice 660
Alva Martin, former Northwestern
star, ran a beautiful 660 yards to
come within 1-10 of a second tf the
world's record. Martin was paced by
Kimport, former Kansas Aggies star,
who fell far to the rear.
McCartney, Husker senior running
his last race, turned in a beautiful
performance in the two-mile to place
third. McCartney has been out for
four years but was never good enough
to make the team until this year. He
lettered in cross-country last fall and
has steadily developed as a two-miler
this year.
Poco" Frazier, diminutive Kansas
two-miler, won the heavy distance
evtnt after a close tussle with Keith,
blond-haired Oklahoman. Both are
sophomores, running in their first
year of valley competition. Niblack
of Oklahoma pushed Frazier in the
early part of the race. Coach Schulte
pointed these two out to the crowd
as the "long and the short of it."
Pospisil, lone Cornhusker qualifer
in the discus throw, rose to the
heights in his final valley meet, to
win the disucs throw and to come
within four inches of the valley rec
ord set last year by "Dosa" Dicher-
son of Missouri. Mandery, also sur
prised the Huskers by winning a
clean-cut third place -in the Javelin
throw.
