McGowan," the eraok half milor, will not accompany the team. Ho hns been ordered by his doctor to" refrain from indulg ing in all forms of athlotics on account of a weak heart. Mc Oo wnii has been making bettor lime in the half-milo than nnv other candidate, and his absence will greatly weaken the team. The men who will be taken on llm trip are: Captain Burke, Heed. Amberson, Davis. Ankeny, I?icc, Clark. Milek,' - Anderson, Rhouka, Gibson, Graham, Mun Hoii, Planing, Flack. Powers and Coach Cherringlon. Reed, Burke and Amberson are the only 'N" men on the squad.

' The dashes will be very close ly contested races. Haddock and Roberta of Kansas and Tteed of Nebraska aro among the fastest sprinters iin the west. The rec ords of all three-men are about the same and tta result of these ra,ces is very much in doubt. '' Captain Burke js oxpeetcd to win the 440-yard dash with ease, and it is thought that? Graham will win thc'pole vault. Graham i also doped to win second place in the high jump. The Kansas jumper goes over six feet and will easily win the Missouri Val ley championship. Amberson and Rice, the Ne braska entries in the half-mile, are neilher in good condition, but they will give the Kansas man a good race. Anderson, also,r isv in poor condition. lie will run a gritty race, however, anc may C0RNH win tho mile. Clark antf Milek are both in good shape and have excellent chances to win. 'The Kansas hurdlers are an un known q.iamity, but tho Nebras ka men have been traininir luiwl and thd.itrh inexperienced hiivtf neon tio'iig good work iiiprac lice. The -result of the' broad jump is Mho in doubt. Davis and Munsn.i are expected to show up well in this'ovent. The CorjUiusker weight" inen are r.ll inexporioneod, but may springsome surprises. The re lay' teams are evenly matched. 'ami IVitt time should be inndn this year. Next Saturday the Cornhusk ers meet the Minnesota track team on tho new athletic field. Minnesota has i stronger team this year than she has ever had before, and is doped to win. How ever, Nebraska has never been defeated by Minnesota on tho fiM"k and this year's teamis de termined that the record shall be kept intact.
