MINNESOTA NEXT
TRACK TEAM OFF FOR G0PHER8'
STRONGHOLD FRIDAY.
MInnesata,'sRecords - In the lowa-MIn-'",''
nesota Meet Nebraska's Chance
' .to Make a 8howlng.
Track men are now recovering from
.their seance at Ames last Saturday
and are rounding 'themselves into
shape for, the struggle with the Go
phers day after- tomorrow. It is gen
erally felt that Nebraska has n better
- opportunity to show its ability in the
v coming contest and the members of
the team are .working with genuine
spirit. Not only did' Ames havo the
advantage in superior facilities ' for
traiping, but she had one of the very
)jest teams inJ the Wcdt, this result
, ing from the fact that every spring
the school gets-out no less than three
liundred men, it is,' said, to try out for
positions, on the track and baseball
teams., At Minnesota is a very strong
aggregation aiso;;but .one more nearly
in the claBs with Nebraska. N
- Some.idea of the Gopher's strength
Jn ttys direction can be obtained from
.their. records maijje ,inj&efea.tlhg, Iowa
last. Saturday '.et it is declared by
. the Diily Iowan'hat the conditions
were very, bad.. It comments as fol
'iows: ,
"The meet was run under very dis
couraging conditions.. It began to
snow at 11 and continued until 4, -when
yitbegan to change to a pblC drizzling
rain.
.. "The track 'was wet and slow, but
in spite of all 'the adverse elements,
'"'every evont was run as tho it wero a
ifine day. There was not a, spectator
in 'the grand standi tho official starter
' was not even there, but men agreed
, prf ;Ooach Williams of Minnesota, and
h,e officiated as the starter." , ,
, . These -statements, "however, should
' .be considered in connection with the
fact -that' Minnesota has a cinder track.

Novel Attractions Planned for Satur

A rollicking good time' is planned
by the young ladies who are arrang
ing for tho girls' gym. party to be
given in tho Armory at 8 o'clock Sat
urday, evening. With perhaps a few'
exceptions, they will present all' tho
allurements and exciting attractions
of the modcmuworld's fair. The Fer
ris wheel will roll its loadB of sight
seers toward the sky, tho chute-tht.
chutes will swoop to earth with Its
screaming burden, and all the while
the Turkish bagpipes will wail and
screech in their ceaseless tweo-dl-do-wee-dle-wee.
The proceeds of this party varo. to

To Curry by Machinery.
A currying" machine for horses has
lately been installed at the State
Farm. It runs by electricity and is
giving very good satisfaction. Mr.
Perran says it does the work quickly
and much more thoroly than it can
be dono by hand.
The milking machine placed in the.
dairy farm last .winter has proved a
success, and a largo per cent of the
cows .at the; State Farm are now being
milked hy "machinery.

"HOW THn COLD WORLD FEELS."
Third of the Articles on the 8ubject
by Recent Alumni.
The third of the series on the frig
ldnos8 of the world comes from Mau
rice Benedict, '06, one of "Nebraska's
old star athletes in football, basket
ball and track work. Mr, Benedict
graduated from the forestry course,
but has now gone nfter something that
glitters a little more, so he declares.
He expresses himself as follows:
I might add to the old idoa that tho
world is a "cold place "that nil Is not
gold that glitters," but I beliovo there
is enough of the real thing to go
around so there is no need of worry
ing as to how cold the world is oi
seems to be.
1 have been out of school a year
npw and admit that my ideas of the
world have changed a good deal in
that short time. I don't beliovo I am
an exception because I thought that as
soon as I got out of college some fel
low was waiting to receive me with
open arms in order to make me a suc
cessful man. Perhaps that statement
is a iittle extravagant, but probably
ivd till, have, more or less of jm ego
tistical Btreak in us and perhaps, too,
it Is a good thing to haver-in small
quantities.
I "believe ar fellow's school life is ohc
of the happiest times of his existence,
for afterwards ho must- enter into real
life and he has qt greater responsibil
ity thrown upoi him for he has a fu
ture. to make, tho importance of which
has never exactly dawned on him bo
fore.r '" That Is getting, off the subject,
I guess. Somehow the, world has not
felt very cold to. me. so fars tho of
course, there are times when a fellow
gets "blue.'
I have ventured into the mining' in
dustry, and am now seeking earth's,
"golden treasure.' It, has a "wonderful
fascination for one, but most people
(i Nebraska have an idea that the
seeker for gold has as much chance of
finding is at had the olden knights In
their search for the "Holy Grail." To
one who has been west and among
the mountains where men live almost
entirely by the products of the mine,
a new conception pf the Industry
comes. It is clean money and is not
produced at tho expense of others'
privation, anyway.
No, i am optimistic about tho "cold
world," and hope and believo there is
a place for everybody in its busy life.
At least a fellow can try tp be happy,
and "Tp. be :happy is to be great" so
the sages Jell us.

ment of Botany at Nebraska and eon-,
ployes Ave professors, whilo Nebraska
has but two. Tho salaries pf the pro
