Meet at Auditorium Ladi from AH Publio Schools to Com pete for Honors on May ' Nineteenth. Omaha's annual public school atfiletic meet will be held at the Auditorium. May 19, according to the announcement made today by W. M. Davidson, superintendent of schools. Every public grade school In the city will be represented In the indoor meet, the preliminaries . to the big event being held at the Young Men's Christian association gymnasium May 15, It and 17. Last year was made the first attempt to have a competitive track meet between the various school track squads and the affair was an undoubted success. The Audi torium was packed to the doors on the night tbe youthful athletes met In the finals. A number of record marks were set which the runners and Jumpers of this year will have to bustle to beat. There are so many schools which will en ter teams In the meet that It Is Impossible to hold the entire meet In one night. Be cause of this on the three nights preceding the meet preliminaries will be held at the Young Men's Christian association and the winners of these compete at the Audi torium. For the events of the meet there are races, high jump, broad Jump and possibly there will be a shot put. The 50-yard dash, 100-yard, 220 and 440-yard runs make up the ones for the single runners and then there Is tbe mile relay for four men teams. In training for their meet the grade school lads call In the aid of the athletes of the Omaha High school as coaches. A number of the track men of the high school squad were busily engaged In train ing their charges all hut winter and teach ing them the finer points of track work. Superintendent Davidson, In his announce ment, declares that he and the school board heartily approve of the older lads aotlng as coaches and would suggest that all training and assistance given the grade school boys come from the high school. The following has been announced as the athletic board for the meet of 1ML It la the same as acted In the last year's meet: Eiuliy J. Robinson, principal Saratoga school, chairman; Helen Wyckoff. princi pal (.'utnenlun school;. Ann E. Hutchtns. principal Franklin school; Jennie L. Red fieid. principal Lincoln school; Agnes M.

There will probably be representatives from between thirty and fifty of the Nebraska towns. A silver cup will be presented to the team winning tbe greatest number of points In the meet. Lincoln won the cup last year and announces that It Is after the goblet that Is being given for the 1411 honors. The Individual making the highest number of points In the athletic events, the quarter mile race, high jump and twenty yard dash, will be given a gold medal and the beet performer of the horizontal bars, parallel bars and horse will win another medal.

HYSTERIA BEACHES EXTREME Too Hick Speelalisiag 1st Athletics and Toe Little Time Glvcsi Over - o ftwdy y Menken ef 1 the Tessa. CHICAGO. March 4. "Our Opposition to Athletics" is the title of an article In the college dally of Chicago university, which has. some of the best performers in all lines of sport Jn the country, thus tending to make the objections ail the more re markable. In a desire to make Its posi tion clear on . the proposition, the Daily Maroon states that it Is opposed to Inter collegiate athletics as they are conducted at present on the same grounds that It Is opposed to an entire system of student activities that has made the academic side of college education a mere Incident.' "The wild hysteria of over-organization In student activities," says The Dally Ma roon, "has reached its wildest extreme In athletics. And conditions have come to the point where college students must once more be reminded that colleges exist pri marily for the purpose of training the mind and that other activities are of bene fit only Insofar as they further that pur pose. Otherwise hundreds of thousands of parents are annually squandering their money and thousands of educators are wasting their time. The Issue must be faced. Nowhere Is remedy more neces sary than In athletics. "Not even the most enthusiastic sup porter of Intercollegiate athletics can as sert that It Is genuinely a student activ ity. It consists In ensnaring Into college by spectacular methods students who have already established records In preparatory schools. Little attempt la made to conceal the fact that these students enter the university largely because of tbe oppor tunity of exercising their athletic prowess. "One per cent of the student body spe cialises In athletics, supposedly represent ing the student body, while the other 99 per cent sits on the bleachers and gives vent to primitive shrieks. "Can anybody maintain that athletes can even make a pretense at studihg when they are kept out on the athletic field from I o'clock to 7 and 8 o olock at night? Km Tlaae t Stwdy. "Can a student, rising from a hastily eaten meal at :30 In the evening, be ex pected to put forth any serious Intellectual efforts when he has been battered around on a foot ball field for four or five hours? "In addition, too much athletic special ization for eight years from the first year in high school to the last year In the university must and does necessarily re act unfavorably on a man's physique. II athletics were participated In so generall by the student body that no small body of men would have to work from October to June, we could say that we have sane athletics, but not until then. And never will that happen until the Insane dsalr for victory and championship Is eliminated. And never will that come until we do away with intercollegiate athletics and adopt something similar to the English system. "Athletics Is today too much of a busi ness. Its only object Is victory. The student cheers his team as long as it Is victorious. Captain Steffsn's champion ship team fought not a bit harder three years ago than did Captain Crawley's team last year. But last year there happened to be another team that was better than Chicago's, while three years ago there was none. Was Crawley given a gold watch? Were the members of the team glorified? Why not? Had they not fought so gal lantly for Chicago? Did they ever quit? "It was simply because they did not win. because they did not some back with the spoils. Such an attitude cannot but react upon the entire student body and such an attitude can only result In Inculcating In the Blinds of young people In the formative stage a philosophy that glorif.es material returns as an end. Ir respective of the means that means 'get the goods.'" .'!

Improvements amounting to nearly 11,090 will be made at the Omaha Toung Men's Christian Association park at Carter lake this summer. Dredging the lake. Improving the grounds, the sanitary arrangements, will constitute the chief part of tbe work to be done. V The Toung Men's Christian Association park has been a decided success since it was started several years ago. Last year the "T" base ball team showed some real players on Its list and a number of tennis and swimming champions developed dur ing the summer. The plan of Improving the park Is to dredge the lake In front of the association docks and grounds a little ever seventy five feet straight out and lis) feet In width. Dredging the channel for boats will also be undertaken. Work on this will begin March 15. f Tbe base ball grounds and the tennis courts will be gone over and renovated and improved. Lockers, of the latest style, will be placed In the dressing rooms so that the athletes many change into their athletic suits and leave their belongings In safety. Ten new houses are being planned at the Toung Men's Christian association colony and a large number of tent campers art -xpected out this season. Several of th last year's members are planning to bulic new boats this summer, and the associ ation club promises to become a live boat ing club. BUTTE AND ST.

A regular program of racing events for the coming season Is being planned by the officials of the club Saturday after noons and Sundays being the popular dates. On all of the big holiday dates there will be special programs of racing. The proposition to put Omaha on the grand circuit of automobile racing has awakened a lively Interest In the sport In Omaha and the vicinity. It Is probable that Omaha will get the early date. If any. some time In May or June. Problem of Trwwaportmtlew.

Riley Is a southpaw from Colorado, of whom little Is known except that he Is rumored to be a coming pitcher. Patton may develop strength In the next season and Joe Lotx, the Omaha amateur who burned things up last season, will play with the Oraahas. Hollenbeck and Stowers may start here and may be traded off for other timber. Bovee. that big-framed Nebraska State leaguer, and Slndelar, his twin In size and strength, will try out. Jimmy Kane will be the first sacker. He has been playing basket tall and similar stunts In tbe east and resting In his home at Pittsburg. It may be mentioned that Jimmy knows more about base ball now than existed when he started with the Pi rates In their 1909 season, and will be strong at first and at bat this summer. Graham, If he can come back with his old time speed at second, will startle things at second. He la bigger and stronger than before he broke his leg, and as far aa anyone can tell the injured bone is as good aa ever. Captain Bill Schlpke, In the best of spirits, will be around third base. Kneaves, the pride of Pa Rourke's heart, will cover an acre or two of ground at shore Infield ts Pmst. Pa figures and rightly that he has an infield there that cannot be bettered In the Western league, and he ts still look ing around to get a live third baseman to spell Captain Bill at third. There la a chance that Red Corrtdon may return to Omaha after all. as If he does not make good at Pittsburg, Barney Drey funs Is desirous of having him under your Fa's training another season. In the outfield OLlle Pickering and An derson are reckoned to stick. OUte has already affixed his signature to a contract and the next mail may carry Anderson's. Bert King will be on the Job In the center garden, and Schoonover will fight It out with anyone for right, and then Pa has yet to hear from Swampy Thompson, who spent 1310 In this climate. Ward Is of that dear old 8t Louis, and we don't even know his front name, but want to see him re port. Lefty Davis will be swapped, but where he will go Is as yet a mystery In Pa's mind. Just about the time that the rough spots have quit rising up from the field and hitting knees and elbows, and the new gloves begin to get a coat of tan. Pa has arranged to have the Chicago White Sox drnn tn for a practice game.
