with them a first, two seconds and a
third, a total of twelVe points. Ar
thur May was high man with a first
and a second. 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

Tho house of representatives yes
terday afternoon killed the university
removal bill by a vote of 52 to 41. 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.

been for the accident.
Lindstrum got third place In the polo
vault, making a mark of 12 feet 1 Inch,
with a 11-inch handicap. 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.

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
