be Dailv Utebrashan C) VoL X. No. 105 UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1911. Price 5 Cents. - L MICHIGAN AND NEBRASKA MATCHED IN RELAY TO BE BIG ATTRACTION AT THE OMAHA MEET. I KANSASJMAY ENTER THE EVENT Cornhuskors Stand Good Show of Tak ' Ing Points, but Long Distance Runners Not Going. The annual 'western A. A. U. athletic moot will be held -in tniaha, April 1, on the Auditorium floor. The prepara tions now being made toward the di rection of this meet warrant the state ment that it will be the largest Indoor athletic meet ovor held west ot Chi cago, An ono which will rival any that ever took place in that city. Ono characteristic which in itself guarantees tho success ot the Omaha moot this year is that most of the con spicuous athlotos and promoters in tho country havo not only promised their support to tho event, but will attend tho Bame, some ot whom will serve in ofllcial capacity. Stagg.'tho all-year-round coach of tho University of Chi cago, will referee the meet; Dr. Itiley, athletic director of the Kansas City Athletic association, will be clerk of ttio course, and F. B. Barnes, physical director of the Kansas City Y. M. C. a, will bo ofllcial starter. Nebraska-Michigan Relay. Tho biggest foature of the entire moot, at least the ono now anticipated to occur, will bo an indoor relay race between Nebraska and Michigan. Ac cording to present predictions, Kan sas will also compete in this race, making it a three-cornered event. Tho race will cover a two-mile dlstanco and in all probability will bo tho most exciting contest of all, since the three schools havo excellent representatives and usually entertain a more or less high-pitched rivalry. Probably an Open Meet. Tho meet has hitherto been purely a handicap, but such is not a surety this year. In fact, It Is almost certain that many of tho events will bo open in every respect. This phase does not, however, blight Nebraska's chances for a good reckoning, since sucn ath letes aB Llnstrum and Collins havo already established high records suf ficiently so to tako places In tho events in which they will participate. Ne braska, according to tho latest an nouncement, will not enter In tho long distance races because of tho fear that tho wood floor will hamper their chances on tho Nebraska track team, most of the indoor runners belonging to tho team. The schools formally entered In tho Omaha meet are Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa. Missouri, Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, South Dakota. .Rep resentative teams will also be entered from tho Omaha and Kansas City Y. M. C. A.'s. These associations havo always been strong athletic antago nists, and sqch opportune events as tho ono to bo held InOmaha servo a long way in establishing a criterion for supremacy. DR.
