TRACK ATHLETICS.
Outdoor Track Work Will Begin This
Afternoon.
A meeting of all men who are in
terested in track athletics was held In
Ihe chapel yesterday morning. From
the -interest shown. o -far this year
the university will not want for an
abundance of material to make up for
the loss of several of last year's stars.
Early last fall the outlook for a
record-breaking track team was bril
liant. Since then, however, Weller,
Dunlnp, Burrus, and Minor have left
school, and every one of these men
was of point-winning caliber. Chu
loupka, who broke his wrist In the
St. Louis football game, will probably
not be able to do anything with the
weights this year. To offset these
uiioiui imiooi uunu'"r hh-. "-
men of promising ability have turned
up. Wildman, who haB a record of
ten Beconds in the 100-yard dash,
looks good for the sprints. . ,
At the meeting yesterday all points
In regard to the work were discussed.
Candidates for the team whose work
lc promising will, If necessary, be ex
cused from drill and all men will be
excused from gym classes provided
they work every night. The outdoor
work will take place every evening
from four till six o'clock. The candi
dates will be divided into squads and
definite working periods aligned to
each squad. These will be an
nounced later.
Dr. Clapp announced his Intention of
doing away this yjar with the ol'l
practice of allowing a man to enter
inseveral different evenfe. He pro
poses to "develop each man for the
event to, which he ia best-suited and
for that event only.
The outdoor work begins this after
noon. Baked bean, baked on the prem

Tho afidlence who gathered Sunday
nt thfe Y. W. C. A. meeting in the
Lync Theater wore treated to a par
ticularly good prograrii. The Univer
sity chorda, under Mrs. Raymond's di
rection, gave several numbers which
were beautiful and effective, the solo
parts being taken by Miss Gutter.
Mrs. Conant also sanz and Dr. Har
mon, of the First Christian church,
gave a short talk on the part which
women may take in the prohibition
movement. His message waB simple
and strong, its main thought being
that although women cannot express
themselves by the ballot, at least
there are many other ways In which
they may bring their Influence to bear
upon the question now before the
people of Lincoln. His message was a
strong appeal to all right-mtuded
women to stand for high principles
and to exert themselves as best they
can in winning the day for prohibition
Ir. Lincoln.
