Preparations Are Under Way for the Annual Indoor Meet In Con vention Hall, March 20. Under the direction of Martin De laney, the Kansas City Athletic Club will hold Its annual Indoor moot March 20 at the Convention Hall In Kansas City. Great preparations are undor way for the event and the veteran trainer intends to make this one of the greatest indoor meets ever held in the West. Ielay races nro to bo featured and every college team in tho West will be invited to compete. About ton or twelve men are to make up the team which will repre sent Nebraska, but they havo not yet been selected. The ovontfl which will be on tho program are 50-yard dash, 60-yard low hurdles, quarter-mile, half-mile and mile runs, running high Jump, pole vault, and 16-pound shot put. All of these are to be handicap events, and In addition Mr. Delanoy is anxious to havo an intercollegiate one-mile relay race. Dr. Clapp has not yet decided whether or not to enter a team for this event, but tho Idea is very popular among the .men .who would be candidates for it. There will also be , interscholastic, . ward-school and mixed events. All amateurs are eligible to compete, as it is to be an open meet. ' It is expected that there will be' .three or four hundred entries. The prizes alone are sufficient 'to Insure a well-filled program. For flrst place la each event a gold watch will be of- fered; a silver medal will bo gi'von for second place, and for third place a bronze medal. Last year Nebraska was represent-. ' od by ten men, but only two of these won places. Benedict" took first in the lialf mile and Alden second In. the mile. There are' five men now trying out who went with the team last year, Craig, Alden, Knode, McDpnald ana Kroger. Besides tnese men, there are a great many others working out who look like point winners. Among them are Burrus, Minor and McMasters, all, of whom, won places in the Charter Day athletic events. With this array of material Dr. Clapp feels confident of making a he'ltor showing than was made last yean At that time, how-.
