STUDENTS PRAISED ENTHUSIASM SHOWN OVER UNI VERSITY WEEK ENTERTAIN MENTS PAPERS COMMEND CONDUCT prominent Men from the Town Vis ited Have Written Personal Let tert of Appreciation to the Chancellor The city papers from the towns vis ited by University Week students are loud in their praise of the students and their conduct, rrominent men from the three towns visited have written personal letters to Chancellor Avery! stating that the entertainments pro-j vided were no less pleasing than the personality and conduct" of the stu dents. The following from Osceola is an example: "Dear Chancellor Avery: "1 feel that you will be interested to know that the students who visited our city during University Week" have reflected great credit upon the University of Nebraska. "The entertainments have all been of a high class and very enthusiastical ly received, but you will be just as glad to know that the students were just as enthusiastically received by our citi zens because of their fine, courteous demeanor. "We have had a delightful week and the community is highly pleased that we are a part of the first experiment with University Week.' We feel that the j.lan is a good one and that it should be continued, "Very truly yours. "a B. MOORE.'" The following is an extract taken from a leter written by C M. Skiles of David City: "The programs gave good satisfac tion. The big hits were the Univer sity P.and and Dramatic Club. Many- said that the work of the Dramatic Club alone was worth the price of all." Seward has already made prelim-( inary arrangements with the Dramatic Club and University Band for a return engagement. Apparently there will be no trouble about securing engagements for all the different groups next year. "The University Dramatic Club played to a crowded house at the V on Monday evening, giving Booth Tarkmgton's splendid play, "The Man from Home' The Dramatic Club was' coached by Miss Alice Howell, who is popular with nr Seward people.

A BIG CHANCE FOR - NEW TRACK ATHLETES Men Needed In Every Event Many of Last Year's Best Men Out of School Have you seen the signs? Wanted! Track Athletes. These signs mean just what they say. Never before in the history of Nebraska has there been such a good chance for men to make their letter in track. The loss of men like Meyers, Lind strum. Reavis and Reese has been a hard blow to Ne braska track prospects. But the old saying for every loss there is a gain holds good. The gain in this case for tunately falls upon the track candi dates. Men are needed in every event. Sprinters, hurdlers, distance men, jumpers and weight men have all the best chance in the world to make the team. While it will no doubt be bard to develop such stars as have been lost, there are hopes. In addition to the wonderful open ings there are in all the events, it may be of interest to prospective candi dates to know that the requirements for a track letter are going to be cut down. The present requirements are two first places, its equivalent in dual meets, or a place in the Missouri Val ley meet. Twenty men ha-e already reported for track. But twenty is not enough. Fifty are wanted. See Guy E. Reed for equipment.

SA EIGHT SCHOOLS ENTERED IN THE ANNUAL GYMNASTIC MEET NEBR. ONLY VALLEY SCHOOL Five Teams. Eligible for Team Cham pionship Relative Strength of En tries Unknown Few Old Men in the Gymnastic Events The thirteenth annual meet of the Western intercollegiate Gymnastic Association to be held in the Armory Saturday afternoon and evening is at trading attention not only because of its siie and importance, but because of the fact that it is almost impossible ; to get a line on the relative strength of the five teams eligible for champion ship honors. New men of well-known local ability will make up the bulk of each team, but the relative strength of the different entries is practically unknown. Of the five schools competing for team honors Chicago, Illinois, Minne sota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska Mi nois heads the list in the number of old men entered, having two old men Sweeney and Bucher, Wisconsin, Chi cago, Minnesota and Nebraska each have one old man entered in the vari ous events: Wisconsin, Carling, win ner of third place in last year's meet; Chicago, Nelson; Minnesota, West, and Nebraska, Southwick, In former years it has been custom ary for each team to select one man to compete with the representatives of the other teams for individual honors, but the honors will be open to every one this year. In the wrestling events, in which three additional schools Iowa, Indi ana and Purdue are entered, there is a slight increase in the number of old men, although several of the schools are relying' heavily upon new men, Iowa will be represented by two grap plers who both placed in last year's meetGran and Barron. There are no old foils in the fencing division. With the exception of Illinois, a single contestant will represent each school in the different sword events. Illinois has entered Van Natter and Cook; Wisconsin, Stirm; Chicago, Inguerson; Nebraska, Wettling, Simultaneously with the coming of the meet to Lincoln is the initial ap pearance of Nebraska as a contestant for championship honors.
