The words of the ladles present
showed their deep interest in the

ing planned. Eva Arnold, as Bible
study chairman, has her work for next
year well planned and the prospect is
that the Bible study enrollment .will
exceed any previous year.'

Given, is also being well planned and
with an accredited course under Mrs,
T. F. A. Williams, there will undoubt
edly be a larger enrollment for mis
sion study.

jolly, happy time from tho first day of
registration week on through tho
year.

Nebraska had an easy time of it in
defeating Minnesota yesterday after
noon. During tho oarly part of the
day tho weather was threatening and
tho proBpocts of a good moot were
anything but bright. Toward noon,
however, tho sun came out and dried
the track up nlcoly so that when tho
moot started the conditions wero al
most Ideal.
It was anticipated that the Corn-!
huskors would win tho moot but such
an overwhelming victory was .scarce
ly looked for. Out of tho fourteen
ovonts (tho uBual one-mile relay was
not run) Nebraska won twelve firsts
and eight seconds, while Minnesota
took two firsts and six seconds. The
final s'coro was: Nebraska 84, Minne
sota 28.
McDonald of Nebraska set two new
University records In tho two hurdlo
events. Ho cleared tho high sticks in
15 4-5 and the low ones in 26 flat
Wlldman equalled the Nebraska -record
In the 220-yard dash, running It in
22 2-5.
Four men won their "N's" yesterday
for the first time. WilliamB in tho
two-mile, tlmo 10:39; Mueller in tho
quarter, time 52 3-5; HamU In tho
high jump at 5 feet 6 inches; and
Patton by winning two seconds, in tho
shot put and the discus. This makes
thirteen men who have won their let
tors at "Nebraska this year.
Minnesota's two firsts came in the
half-mile and tho polo vault Bush of
Minnesota won tho half-mile in
2:03 4-5. It was rather expected that
he would take this event, as his work
this year has boon first-class. Ho
won the only first place Minnesota got
In their meet against Iowa two weeks
ago. Strone of Minnesota also won
first place in the pole vault at tho
height of ten feet Although McMas
ters did 10 feet 9 inches at Kansas
City last week, ho was unable tq get
more than second place yesterday.
