IFlebraekan Vol. VI. No. 44. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, TUESDAY, MAY 28, J907. Price 5 Cents 1 &be3)aih V TO PROTEST MEET NEBRA8KA WILL APPEAL RE ' GARDING KAN8A8 MEET. Judge Gives Decisions That Place Jay hawkers First-by the 8core of 52j2 - ( to BOYz Btutfertt Fair. Nebraska and Kansas track teams met on McCook Field at Lawrenco last Saturday afternoon and the meet was awarded by tho Judges to the lat ter team by the score of 52 1-2 to 50 1-2 points. The contest was so close that the changing of nny ruling would alter the outcome, and the Nebraska team is not satisfied with the treat ment received from a port of tho of ficials. Dr. Clapp informed Mr. Lans don, the Kansas manager that tho team was not satisfied -and that the matter would be referred to the Con ference committee for decision. This ho agreed to. The first decision to cause dissatis faction was that which gave Benediot third place instead of second in the quarter. Dr. Clapp and Manager Ea ger saw the finish and both are posi tive that Benedict at least tied Dris oofl for "second place. To split the points on this place would have meant a tie as the outcome of the meet. Nothing, however, was said about this at tho time, for It was felt that the judges might easily make an uninten tional mistake. What brought up a protest walj the disqualification of Alden in the two-mile run, after win ning second place,: on the ground that he had stepped inside the curbing of the track while running. That the Nebraska two-mller did so for one or two strides is quite certain, but he did it in order to avoid spiking tho Kansas man in front, who cut in sharply on the short turn. At thlB point the curbing was not of the re quired height but furthermore, tho step was not for gaining advantage. The Conference rules state that 'any competitor who runs off the track In side the curb to gain an advantage shall be disqualified from that event." In stepping outside Alden really lost ground, and that his doing so did not affect the outcome of tho race was evident when he bpat out Cooloy; to whom was-, awarded second place, by a full lap. The men wore very much pleased w.lth the treatmerft received from the students. They showed, themselves to be genuinely sportsmenllko In their attitude toward the visitors -and oven had the fairness and good feeling to applaud McDonald when he made 10 feet 9 inches in the vault, while the meet hung in the balance until this levent was decided. Nebraska's only complaint is against the officials, and this comes with more animus since she has experienced the same treat ment before. Three years ago, a like game of attempting to throw out men on small points was" trted,-butthe t did not effect the outcome of the meet. Dr.. Clapp has already written to Chi-' cago relative to tho matter', , . The meet on tho whole ws fast and several good records wore' made, ' (Contlnued'on pftge.)'
