ference meet will be held in Lincoln
at the time of the Wesleyan Uni.,

traction. Our strongest opponents this
year will be Missouri, Kansas. A met-,

that we will make an excellent show
ing and renew our old standing on
the cross country run. Last year our
team showed up so poor that we
could not even Rend a team to the
