JOHN TOBIN,
Cnptnln of the track team, n 'varsity
football player for the past two years,
and on the University track team three
years. Recently threw the hammer
124 feet, "smashing" the old record by
7 feet. Also does well with the discus
and shot. Is expected to win the ham
mer throw today easily, as the Knox
record does not reach his by 4 feet.
All Is in readiness for the big meet
today. The Galeaburg men arrived
over the Burlington thlB morning and
are ready for the fray. Nebraska held
her final practice last evening, and
every man is anxious for 2 o'clock to
arrive. The men- are all In good con
dition, except Burg, who it Is feared
will be seriously handicapped, especial
ly In the broad Jump, by a sprained
ankle which he received In the pre
liminaries a week ago. This Is the
event where Knox shines with a record
or 22 feet and 3 inches, made by Wil
son, their best all around man.
The track, which has been rendered
very hard by recent wet weatlygr, will
be placed In much better condition by
the time the first event Is pulled off
today. It Is the purpose of those In
charge to have everything favorable to
the making of good records, and the
furnishing of the best of entertainment.
Aside from the regular twelve events
of the 100-yard dash, pole vault, mile
run, sixteen-pound shot put, 220-yard
dash, broad Jump, Blxteen-pound ham
mer throw, half-mile run, 120-yard and
220-yard hurdles, high Jump, and 440
yard dash, there will be a special fea
ture in the way of a half-mile relay
race. Each college team, will be com
posed of- four men, each of whom runs
220 yards. ThlB event will be, as It
was In the home meet, very Interest
ing and exciting, and will furnish an
excellent climax for the afternoon's en
tertainment. The outcome of today's meet 1b quite
uncertain. Knox men are reported as
saying, "We're going west after the
Corohusker'B scalp, and we will re
trieve our football defeat of last fall."
Nebraska's reply is, "If you can; show
us." 'Both teams are in it for blood,
and a battle royal will be fought. A
comparison of records follows, Ne
braska's record first and Knox's sec
ond: 100-yard dash, 10 2-5, 10 2-5; pole
vault, , 10:6; mile run, 4:52 1-5,
5:00; 16-pound shot put, ao, 35:2; 220
yard dash, 23 2-5, 23 1-5; broad Jump,
21, 22:3; 16-pound hammer throw,

MAURICE BENEDICT.
Nebraska's famous quarterback of '03,
who won an enviable record In ath
letics while In the Lincoln high school.
An all around athlete who inn pole
vault and high Jump, and runs the half
mile in 2 3-5 lesw than Battell. the
'speedy man from Galesburg. Needs
only 2-5 better time to smash the Uni
versity record, and It would not be
BiirprlBlng If he did this today.
124, 120; half-mile. 2.6 2-5, 2.9; 120
yard hurdle, 18 2-5, 18; high Jump, 5:5.
5:4; 440-yard dash. 54 1-5, 54; 220
yard hurdle. 28 4-5. 25. A comparison
of these reveals the following facts:
The records in the 100-yard dash, tie;
Knox excels by 2 Inches In the shot
put and by 1 foot 3 Inches In the broad
Jump, by 1-5 in the 440. and 3 4-5 In
the 220 hurdle; by 1-5 in the 220-yard
dash, and by 2-5 In the 120-ynrd hur
dle. Nebraska excels in the mile by
7 4-5, in the hammer throw by 4 feet,
In the half-mile by 2 3-5, by 1 Inch in
the high Jump.
An unsuccessful endeavor was made
to secure for today's Issue cuts of the
four leading Nebraska track, men, In
their track suits. We were unabi'e to
secure any. The best we could do was
to run the football cuts of Tobln and
Benedict The other Nebraska men are
as follows: Manning, another L. H. S.
man with a "rep." who holds the record
for the quarter in the Missouri Valley
at 51, three less than that of the Knox
man. He will likely tie his old record
today. States, one of last year's men,
holds the half-mile record at 2.6 1-5,
and has never yet been defeated In his
event. His record in the preliminaries
fell short of thlB by 2 4-5, but he was
not pushed In this race. Martin, the
weight man, and a member of last
year'B team, puts the Bhot 35 feet, and
is good In tho hammer throw. Corr,
the man who Bmashed the two-mile
record by 5 seconds In tho home meet,
will not enter today, as there is no two
mile race. Burg is a swift man in the
100-yard dash, and does the broad jump
well. He will be handicapped today,
however, by a sprained anklo. Mouck
performs the Kranzlein act in good
fashion, but will have to raise his
record today to beat his opponent. I.
P. Hewitt, who at one time held the
record in the 880-yard run, and a mem
ber of the team for two years, will do
the broad Jump Btunt. Lehmer, New
ton, Reed, and Leonard are compara
tively new men on the team, but have
