TONIGHT
ARMORY.
KAN8A8 TODAY.
Nebraska Will Meet Jayhawkers at
Lawrence.
Today the track team has perhaps
the, hardest meet of the season. They
will contest with their old-time foes,
tho Jayhawkers, and judging from the
previous work this season of the lat
ter, will probably be pushed to tho
limit to win.
In tho sprints, Kansas's now man,
Haddock, -will probably push Burruss
the half, Benedict will probably win,
Drlscoll should run a good race. In
the half, eBnedlct will probably win,
but Kansas has a man who ought to
run the distance in close to two min
utes. Morgan and Miller, the Kansans
who beat Jackson in tho mile In tho
Kansas and Missouri meot, will have
a battle royal in tho mile, but It is be
lieved that Morgan is capable of fast
er work than he has done yet this soa
on. Alden should win the two-mile and
Dunlap should get first In the low hur
dles. The field events are uncertain
quantities, but Captain Knode should
win the high jumpi and between Cha
loupka ond Wellor, Nebraska should
get something out of the weights.
With Perry in form wo should get
second In tho broad jump, and McDon
ald may get placed In tho pole vault.

CADET8 DRILL FOR CUP IN FIVE
INCHES OF MUD
Guthrie Wins First and 8tevens Sec
ond In Individual Governor
Sheldon Presents Cup.
Company C pulled tho first honors
In tho unnual competitive dilll yestor
daj allornoon, on what wus perhaps
tho middlest field tho Unlvotslty lot
tnllon wus over drilled on. The mud
was ankle-deep and largo pools of
water lay about tho Hold when tho
first company reported for drill. The
order In which tho companies drilled
was decided by lot and fell In tho
following order: Company B, A, D
and C. No company consumed more
than its allotted fifteen minutes, and
tho entire afternoon's work was brisk
and snappy, especially considering tho
unfavorable condition of the field.
The Individual drill for tho gold and
silver medals occurred Immediately
after tho company drill. R. E. Guthrie,
first sargeant of Company B, took first
prize and H. S. Stevens, first sargeant
of Company A, received second place.
Mr. Guthrie's record In tho Military
department Is somewhat remarkable,
this being tho third gold medal he
has won In tho past two years for pro
ficiency In drilling. He won tho indi
vidual spoil down at compet last year
and also took tho gold medal in the
Pershing Rifles' spell down thlB
sprhig.
After tho Individual spell down was
over tho four cpmpanles formed a
hollow square In the middle of the
athletic field, and Governor Sheldon
stepped In the center to present tho
cup to tho winning company. The re
sult of tho company drill was then
read by tho Adjutant as follows: Com
pany C, first place; Company A, sec
ond; Company B, third, and Company
D, fourth. The governor then spoko
at some length to tho companies,
dwelling on the proficiency of their
work, and complimenting them on the
zeal shown by drilling on so muddy
a field. He then made a short speech
of presentation and presented the sil
ver cup to Lieutenant Campbell, who
drilled Company C In the absence of
Captain Slaughter. "Lieutenant Camp
bell made a short but graceful speech
of acceptance, after which he was
picked up bodily and carried away on
the shoulders of his men.
The officers who were to come from
Fort Crook to act as judges, for some
reason failed to arrive, and Captain
Workizer, Captain Anderson and Cap
tain Syford acted as judges. Their
decision seemed to be, very satisfact
ory to all concerned.
In the Armory, before going on tho
field, the captains of Company A, B
and D were presented with now
"swords, purchased by their men. The
speeches of presentation wejre made
to. Captain Hlgglns, Captain McWil
liams and Captain Wilson, by Miss
Mattle Woodworth, Miss Josie Frazier
and Miss Clara Hermansen, respect
ively. . The men of Cbmpany C also
