TEN MEN WILL GO
TO THE K. C. A. C. INDOOR MEET
AT THE KAW CITY.
Part of Nebraska Track Team, Will
Participate at Convention Hall
Friday Night Other Notes.
Some time ago Dr. Clapp received a
letter from M. A. Delanoy of the Kan
sas City Athletic Club requesting that
the University of Nebraska send a
team to participate In the big Indoor
track meet to bo given In Convention
Hall under the auspices of the K. C. A.
C. next Friday night. Dr. Clapp re
plied that the University could not
send a representative team on such
short notice for there would not be
time to got the men Into shape and
there would be a chance of seriously
Injuring the chances of the athletes to
do good work next spring If they
should compote when not In lit condi
tion. However, ho said that Nebraska
would bo glad to send down ten men
to competo as Individuals In events
whore a long period of preparatory
training was not necessary. No an
swer was received to this letter for
some time and Nebraska men were be
ginning to think that Delanoy had let
the matter drop, but this morning a
telegram from him was received say
ing that ho would be glad to have ten
men come and would pay expenses.
This occasioned much satisfaction
among Nebraska track men as they
feel that while they may have no ex
. coptlonal chance to win, the experi
ence will bo valuable to them and that
Nebraska should bo represented at an
affair of this kind. A handicap meet
is in many senses of tho word a lot
tery. According to the theory of the
thing, all men are handicapped so that
tho poorest man has an equal chance
with the best and winning depends on
doing a little bettor than one over dfd
before. .
But in fact it Is practically impos
sible to handicap men justly, particu
larly whoro many of tho athletes are
not well known by the handlcapper
and winning is often largely a mat
ter of having received a lucky handl
es cap.
The men will leave at 11 o'clock
next Thursday night, getting Into Kan
sas City the next morning. They will
probably return sometime Saturday.
Who the ones are who will go has not
been announced, tho list will probably
be made known In two or three days. '
More Trouble.
Now on top of the Medic troubles
there threatens to bo a little distlr
bance among the Laws regarding their
relation to tho Cornhusker. .Some de
clare tfcelr section of the book should bo
separate, photographs, Btorles, joshes
and all. How general this feeling Is
can not bo ascertained, but the princi
pal complaint seems to bo Managing
Editor George Lowls De Lacy. .
Thb Nebraska basket-ball team five
will not play the Baker college team
as. was expected. The Kansas team
wanted tb como hero some day next
week, but no date qould be arranged
for them.

PASSAGEJfAVORED
BIG UNIVER8ITY APPROPRIATION
RECOMMENDED.
Appropriations Bill Contemplates Ex
penditure of $646,000 New
Building Proposed.
Among tho bills recommended for
passagp by tho commlttoo of tho wholo
in tho Houso of Representatives,
Thursday, woro tho Senate bill making
tho stato troasuror, ox-offlclo, treaBuror
of tho University, and tho houso appro
priation bill. Tho former, instead of
opening tho way for too groat expen
diture, merely makes posslblo tho
maintenance of tho University by its
proportion of tax money and othor
moans of income, and does away with
tho necessity of financial appropriation
by tho law makers. Tho bill pro
vides that tho stato troasuror shall
receive all moneys duo tho University
and shall pay them out only on war
rant from tho auditor of public ac
counts, who shall Ibbuo such warrants
only on certificate from tho Itogenta.
Tho appropriations bill contemplates
expenditures ammounting to $ol,000;
by far tho largor part of this being
in tho salaries and wages account,
which will run up to $375,000. Other
expenditures aro as follows: fuel,
lights, and water, $38,000; unclassi
fied Incidentals, $8,000; departmental
expenses, $15,000; farm departments
and maintenance, $35,000; printing,
postage and stationary, $15,000; books,
$5,000; general repairs, steam and
electrical equipments, $35,000; furni
ture, apparatus, and equipmont of new
buildings, $20,000. Representative
Cone of Saunders proposed an amend
mont providing that tho $5,000 al
lowed for books bo reinvested In fur
nishing text-books to students at cost
as fast as. sales should accumulate.
No action was taken upon this.
