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

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.
Daniel Voorhees Pike. '"The Man from
Home," -was Mr. Cloyd Stewart, f

Kokomo. Indiana, whose ward was in
the haiid of titled rascals.
"Any time that the University Dra

to a crowded bouse." Seward Blade.
The Forum
"Osceola, Nebr April 5. To the
Editor of The Star: I have been
matching your paper to learn if any
one at this place or elsewhere had
anything to say as to the general con

University, ani "have failed to nee any

our great state.

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.

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. During the
twelve years of the association's his
tory, Nebraska has had two individual
champions, B. C Johnson in 1S05 and
D. C Johnston in 1S09. and has afford
ed strong competition in various
events, but never until this year has
the Husker school entered a full team.
