No. 147 UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1911. :i Price 5 Cents ' f -kfr- MISSOURI VALLEY TRACK m COMES SATURDAY NEBRASKA WILL TRY HARD TO WIN FIRST HONOR8. OTHER SCHOOLS HAVE STRONG MEN Team Leaves in Two Divisions for Des Moines Where Meet is Be Held May 27th. The annual Missouri Valley Confer once track meet will be held In Des Moines next Saturday. This will bo the last track meet of any kind in which Nebraska will participate this yoar and will decido the championship of the conference. The Nebraska team will start for Des 'Moines in divisions, all the sprlpt ers and .ljurdlqrB going Thursday, while " the : rest of. the1 'varsity squad will leftve Friday. The reason for the early departure is p enable several preliminary events to take place be fore Saturday. This 1b the result of so many entries that are annually made in the sp'rint events and hurdles. The "dope" on Nebraska's chances is better this year than it has been for several years past. Nor does this indicate that Nebraska's placing is in evitable. Last year Nebraska lost to two rival schools Kansas and Mis souri, which won first and second places respectively. Since Nebraska easily outclassed Ames, atid with slightly more difficulty made a dent In the Kansas prospects for a conference victory, the followers of the Corn huskcr aggregation are taking an op tlmistic view of the outcome. "Missouri Valley Dope. Nebraska will meet some of the bea schools in the west in the clamor foi championship. All of the conference "schools lfiiW "evidenced- good repre sentations of track material, while a noteworthy exception is made In Coe College of Iowa. Wilson of Coo hns evory indication of making a first place showing in the sprint, in which case Nebraska will bo robbed of one of the anticipated places. Kansas will undoubtedly be felt through the ' Woodbury brothers and French, while Missouri will enter Steele, the star two-mller, and Berman, who excells In the srrlnt. Regarding the other con ference schools, nothing In the way of first place records is expected. Ames hns failed to produce a single- star, and Washington and Drake will prob ably bo out of the running In 'every event. The Nebraska men are In the best of form. Evory mnn has recovered from the Kansas effects and seem to have abandoned all "dubious theories" in their race for the championship. Coach Field has expresseda favorable opinion concerning the chances, and will leave with the sprinters and hurdlers on the first division. VICTOR COULTER FIRST J. G,. OLDHAM AND W. P.
