He caused the real sensation of the whole meet by win ning the 50-yard dash in five und two flfthB seconds, tying the world's inter collegiate .record. ThiB was the, inter collegiate chumpionBhlp dash and May's record will stand. In tho final ovent Kuhn of the Chicago AthlolU association defeated him in the same. time, May coming In second. This is also the amateur record. Russell Stumbles. Powers took second In tho intercol legiate 60-yard dash, won by May.

The bill provided a one-mill levy with which to rebuild tho university at tho state farm. The house had previously killed the one-half mill levy for cam pus extension in tho city and tho uni versity is now le'ft without funds for permanent improvement during tho next two years. An appropriation may be included In tho general appro priation bill, however. Many Explanations. Tho roll call on tho bill brought forth more explanations than 'has any measure of this session. Many mem bers of tho house foltimpellod to state the reasons for their decision. Tho general statement of those ugalnst re- movul was that bo largo an expendi ture of money should not be made without giving tho peoplo of tho state a vote on tho question, such aB thoy can have under the initlativo and referendum. This will leave tho question unset tled for another throo years, and It will be another year, if it Ib passed, before work can bo begun. Limited Attendance. The university authorities, in their report to the legislature, urged that the attendance be limited If provision for growth could not bo made, as they were unable to handle tho num ber seeking admission with present facilities. Nothing has been done with this by tho lawmakers. It is con sidered doubtful if an appropriation can bo got through now.

Woodbury of Kansas, with an actual jump of 11 feet 8 inches, wont 8 inches higher than tho winner, Verenk of Coo col logo, who jumped 12 feet 4 inches, with a 16-inch handicap. Lindstrum's jump was really two inches higher than the winner's, but the five inch difference was too great to overcome. Chicago Takes Relay. Tho relay race between Nobarskai Chicago 'and Michigan universities was the real ovont of tho meet Ev erybody showed an interest when this race was announced, It being well known that Stagg and his men had come resolved to take the scalps of the Nebraska and Michigan relay teams, if thoy did not get another point. And Chicago turned tho trick, for her team, composed of Kuhn, Me naul, Timlin and Davenport, took tho lend In the first lap and wore never headed. Powers, Ankeny and Amber- son for Nebraska struggled gamely, but woro unable to get near the lead- era. Tho fourth man, Reed, made a desperate spurt that took him within ten yards of the Michigan man, and al though he gained nearly half u, lap, tho lead proved too great. Omaha High Takes Meet. Racely, running for tho Lincoln Y. M. C. A., with a 24-yard handicap, cap tured first place in the 440-yard handi cap.

RONANCE OF A CHAPER6NE THRILLING STORY OF FRENZIED SOCIETY IN GUIDING A SORORITY. TEMPLE DEBATES SEWARD. Rightfully the laws are claiming the premiership of jokers. About two weeks ago last Thursday thoy in formed an unsuspecting ' member of the junior class that he wus being considered for chaperone of one of the Bororlties. The poor fellow fell, and was continually Informed of the pro ceedings by those who were "next." Finally an "official notice" came through tho mall which was signed by the secretary. Repeated . telephone calls kept tho victim keyed up to tho situation and allayed any fears that might arise. Last Saturday being fool's day, it was thought time to. bring the matter to a head, and so he was asked to call by tho "secretary." In the after noon he made his way to the house, but found none of his lady friends awaiting him. But tho realchaperone met him at tho door and received hip card. He began to feel that something wnn wrnticr nnrl nftrir looklnc nt the Convention at Columbia University onUfont pageof one of the evening pa- State High School Prepares for For ensic Contest Friday.
