BROAD JUMP AND 440 RECORDS SET
' jJ -J-2&6 -Nebraska-Minnesota track
meet of 1910 is now a thing of
the past, but it will be discussed
for days to come. The meet
mado yesterday one of the most
memorable days in the history of
the. University of Nebraska, for
the meet itself was- probably the
best that has ever been held here.
Nebraska won. The Cornhusk
ers defeated the mighty Gophers
by the score of 63 to 49. And
yet the score tells only a small
part of the story. Three univer-

v T&r$cord of victories over Min-
ncsotaremai'ns unbroken. The
gr$afcete traTJic-team that has ever
represented the vGopher iristitur
lion was defeatedVby a team of
Cornhuskers on whiphjhere were
only three veterans.
Three Records Broken.
Three University of Nebraska
rocords were broken in yester
day's meet Tho former shot put,
I broad jump, and 440-yard dash
records met their Waterloo at
tk, the hands of Shonka, Munson and
j-5 Reed respectively.
mE2& This m Shonka 'a first venr in
track work and his work of yes-
terday was marvelous. The for
mer record of 38 feet and 8
iuches was held by Sid Collins.
Tho record made by Shonka yes
terday was 40 feet and" 3 inches.
TThis beats the old record by one
foot and seven inches. Shonka 's
feat was accomplished by per
sistent work. He has practiced
-faithfully every;., day and-yestcr-
' day's record was. the result of
his effort!,
Munson is also a new man on
the, team and is eligible for two
more years of track work. By
.lumping 22 feet 3 1-2 inches in
-yesterday's meet he broke tho
.-. former university record by one
and one-quarter inches. This is
farther', than he has ever jumped
before in his lifo.
Tho other record breaker was
GuyJteed. Reed defeated Minne
sota 'sgreat Bprinter, Hill, in tho
44U-yord dash and broico the ror
mor university record of 521 1-5
'seconds, hy winning that event in
50 2-5 seconds. Reed also won
second in the 100-yard 'dash and
tied Hill in the 220-yard dash,

winning in all 12 points. This
gives Reed a place among the
west's greatest track stars.
Other Point Winners.
Captain Burke was a close sec
ond in the 440-yard dash and on
abled Nebraska to win all the
points in this event. Hill of Min
nesota was thus defeated by two
Cornhuskers in this event. Clark
won the mile. This was one of
the most exciting races of the
day, arid real Nebraska" spirit 'in
its purest form was shown hereu
Graham tied for first place as
a point winner. He won first in
the high jump, second in the
broad jump, and tied with
Shock for first place in the pole
vault, a total of 12 points. Flack
won fisrt place in the- high hur
dies and won. his. "N." This
was one o the events that the
Gophers: were -surcof winning.
Harmon,, won. . the hammer
throw. This woh another of the
notable events of tho day. Har
mon has never had any track
training before this year, but by
persistent practicing every day
since early in March he became
so expert in throwing the ham
mer that he was able to take
first honors yesterday.
Amberson won second in the
half mile. By a wonderful sprint
near the finish, he passed two
contestnnts and won second place.
Fleming won second in the high
hurdles and Molik won second in,
the two-mile run.
Our Coach.
Too much credit cannot be
given to Ben Chcrrington for
yesterday's victory. He has
worked incessantly since he was
elected by the athletic board and
has aroused a spirit among the
in on that will serve as an ex
ample for years to come. He is
loved by every man on tho team
and is a true Nebroska product.
The team was banqueted at the
L-incoln hotel last night by the
coach; The- banquet was in the
nature of a celebration for yes
terday's victory.

baseball game with the Corn
huskers yesterday. Errors and
slow playing characterized the
work of both teams, and errors
in every case on the part of the
Cornhuskers meant scores for the
visitors.
"Li'l Awthur" Johnston was
on the mount for the alfalfa
gatherers and lie had "Cap"
Grcenslit'8 boys on his hip up
to the last inning, arid then Ames
made their grand ascension, and
that isn't all. Nebraska got
three scores, but tho lead. of the
farmers could not be overcome.
"Li'l Awthur" was also tho boy
with the big stick. Out of five
times up he soaked the horsehide
for three safe ones, and that isn't
all. These three binglcs were two
borne runs and one which landed
hini on tho third pillow.

the first one. In the second four

and succossful balloon ascension,

credit of the potato diggers.

helped this along nicely, as woll
as did a passed ball and two hits,
one for four sacks'.
Nebraska started things in the
second, when Waters and Met

and rattled Cap Matter, scoring
Mclcalfe. Nothing occurred
again until the ninth, when Cum
in ing started off the program by
swatting the horsehide on tlm
cheek and landed on the fourth
pillow. Waters followed with a
hit, and Frank made first on an
error by "Shorty" Kerrigan.
Sleuther bingled for a single and
Grccnslit swatted a nice little one
down between first and second.
These two safeties scored Waters
and Frank, and after that the

Frank after his entry in the
game in the third inning pitched
fine ball, allowing but three, hits
