Annual Meet With Gophers
Saturday
Minnesota is the next opponent of
Nebraska, on the track, the Huskers
meeting their northern rival In Min

is a strong aggregation, composed
largely of veteran athletes, and the
chances for Coach Reed's inexperi
enced trackmen to outpoint them are
small.
The half-mile, mile and two-mile are
the Gophers fort; they have entered
in these events one of the best dis

track Nebraska's chances are consid
erably better, and she should divide
evenly with Minnesota In these events.
Scott, Irwin, Zumwlnkle and Bates are
doped to place in their respective
races; Scott, Irwin, and Zumwlnkle
are good for at least one first in the
hundred and the two-twenty. Ia the
four-forty and half-mile Nebraska will
get second places, at the inside. In
the hurdles and relays Minnesota has
the advantage, and the major portion
of the points scored in these will go
to them.

ELECTION TODAY
INMEMORIAl HALL
Nebraskan Candidates to Be Voted On
Close Contest on Managing
Editorship and Associate
The Daily Nebraskan election lacks
a few hours of being a thing of the
nast. vet those few hours are filled
with anxious moments for at least
five candidates. The only offices that
are warmly contested are the manag
ing editorship and the associate posi
tions.
R. V. Koupal has no opposition for
editor-in-chief. The filing time was
extended In the hope that more candi
dates would file for this and the posi
tion of associate, but the Publication
Board's hopes were only partly real
ized. "Dick" was acting managing
editor of the Nebraskan last semester.
Everett J. Althouse, Orville Chatt,
and Charles Paul are in the race for
managing editor. Chatt is the present
holder of this managerial office. Alt-
house has been on the staff of the
paper for two semesters, and has had
two years' experience elsewhere. Paul
is also a member of the reportorial
staff and has also engaged in news
paper work for two years In the ca
pacity of editor. The race between
these three men promises to be espe
cially interesting. Two of the candi
dates have been noticeably active.
Doris Slater is the only candidate
for the woman associate. Miss Slater
is now one of the associates, having
been elected to the position last se
mester. The choice of the other asso
ciate developes the second fight of the
election. Emil J. Krahulik and A. J.
Covert have both filed for the place
and have been working for the re
quired votes. Covert is a Nebraskan
reporter who Joined the staff at the
beginning of the second semester.
Krahulik was on the Cornhusker this
year and has bad experience in the
field before.
The results will be known early In
the evening, and until then the suc
cessful ones will be merely a matter
of speculation in the two instances.
