JAYHAB HEX!
KANSAS COMES SATURDAY FOR
SECOND VALLEY MEET
RUMOR COMES FROM SOUTH
Have Strong Sprint Men Reported as
Strong as Veteran Ames Squad
Husker Athletes Will Be at
Full Tilt Next Saturday f
Next Saturday Nebraska will meet
the Jayhawkers in' the second Valley
meet of the Husker track schedule.
With the Ames meet which was, in
the estimation of a "Nebraskan" type
setter at least a "big" meet now a
thing of the past the squad has start
ed in on the few afternoons training
allowed it to prepare for the coming
of the Kansans Saturday. The men.
with the exception of Captain Zummie
and Irwin, are in good physical con
dition, and with training quickly be
coming of sufficient duration to bring
them near prime, will probably be in
tip-top form against Kansas.
The result of the Cyclone meet was
not a serious upset of official dope,
and while disappointing in some ways.
had its silver lining. Reavis in the
pole vault tied the Valley record of
twelve feet when he nonchalantly
cleared the bar registered at that
height with three or four inches for
safety. The present record of twelve
feet was equalled twice Saturday
Powell of Missouri also rising to a
height of twelve feet in the Missouri
Kansas Aggie meet It is the opinion
of men who have watched these two
athletes work that both will break
the present Valley mark in this event
before the intercollegiate season
closes. If the Husker athlete con
tinues In his present form he will
without doubt break his record of
twelve feet which he has held since
his prep-school days.
Another feature of Saturday's pro
gram which was eminently pleasing
was McMaster's work in the two-mile.
J. Lloyd took second place In this
event, but ran a very good second,
and incidentally clipped all of twelve
seconds off his previous time. Scottie,
in the dashes, displayed fine form,
and may be depended upon to excel!
his previous work next Saturday.
Only rumors have reached Lincoln
as to the strength of the Jayhawkers,
but the reports that have wafted up
on the spring breeze bear tales of a
team in every way the equal of the
veteran Cyclone squad which van
quished the Huskers Saturday, and
feature the strength of their sprint
men, which they boast is the class of
the Valley.
The fact that a committee of judges
had selected as Harvard's prize poem
forjhe present year a poetized Philip
pic with the Kaiser on the receiving
end was given wide publicity In the
Dress of the country a few days ago.
This arrangement for a competition of
student poets might work out weu
here at Nebraska, whether the sweet
singers gave vent to lyric outbursts,
invective on the War Lord, or odes
and epodes a la Horace. Unless the
millenium has arrived, this spring wCl
see the usual number of rhymed effu
sions born into the world, and a prop
erly conducted contest might result in
the discovery of some gems which
would otherwise remain forever
buried. Who will wear the laurel
wreath?
