' 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,
