NEW ATHLETIC FIELD.

May 6 and 7 will bo High' School
Feto Day this year. On thqso days
thti university will bo turned over to
the1 high school students of the state.
DuWng tho past fow years this idea of
hojding' a high school athletic meet'
has gained in importance' until it has
become an- expected and looked for
event among tho high school students
of tho state.
The past two years tho moot has
been held at tho stato fair grounds.
This year tho meet will be hold on
tho n.ew athletic field. As tho uni
versity field is In fact a part of tho
university campus, it will be much
moro convenient to attend tho moot
and It 1b thought that much larger
crowds will attend. Tho now cinder
track will be used and sbme records
should "bo broken.
The entrloB for tho feto day meet
will close at midnight on April 29. All
high schools which will bo represented
in this meet must have a list of all
their entries in tho hands of tho sec
retary before thlB time. A number
of Inquiries have been received from
schools that havo never been entored
In tho meet and it is thought that the
list of entries will be larger than over
before.
' List of Events.
Tho meet will bo hold on tho after
noon of May 6. Tho preliminaries for
tho 100-yard dash, which open tho
meet, will bo hold at 2:45 sharp, and

sary in order to givo all tho competi
tors a chanco to do themselves Ju3
tied. There will probably be from 300
to 400 high school students entered.
Each school competing will bo al
lowed to enter only ten men. No
school can enter over two in any ono
ovenL The requirements of many pre
liminaries in most of the dashed andi
hurdles will cut down tho chances for
any ono team to make a sweep of .the
ovents, and It is thought that there
will be closo scores for all teams, with
no ono' certain of victory until tho last
event ihas'.been decided. . ,
the events for tho meet are as fol
lows: 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash,

with tho European organizations of
similar nnturo, making tho wholo
groups of clubs International in scqpo.
This association of Cosmopolitan
Clubs hold annual conventions, and
they also have publication of their
own. Every year thoy print a largo.
annual, which 1b very compact and
contains some oxcollcnt material. Ev
ery month tho national association1
prints a paper which deals with the
work of tho various clubs and their
relations to tho various schools in
which thoy aro established.'

thoy aro cosmopolitan In their mem
bership. Tho clubB aro made up of
tho representative men of tho univer
sity in which they aro formed and
hero tho men of tho United States
havo members of tho total number to,
tho extent of fifteen per cent. The'
other mombcrs of tho clubs In the
United Stntes aro mado up of tho stu
dents In tho colleges who aro fr6nrfdf
elgn countries. As Nebraska Is one
of tho leading colleges In tho west nnd
no such organization exists hero, a
movomont has been started for tho for
matlon of a Cosmopolitan Club which
will Include to a certain per. cent the
copresontntlvo men of tho university
who aro United States citizens and
the rest of the members of the club
will bo Btudents in tho university who
aro from foreign countries.
In the other soventoen clubs, the
countries which havo tho largest
membership In this organization, out-'
side of tho United States, are China

"Maybe John or Frank, or ono of
