THE KB ENTRIES
DOPE 8EEM8 TO FAVOR OMAHA
, ATHLETIC STARS
MORE ENTRIES THAN IN 1914
Pawnee City, Broken Bow, and Merna
Enter at Last MomentMeet
Will Start Promptly
at 2:30
Three new entries into the eFte Day
meet of the Nebraska High Schools
Athletic Association Pawnee City,
Broken Bow, and Merna have swelled
the complete entry list to a number
which exceeds the record-breaking
total of last year. Broken Bow will
be represented by Carl Penn. Paul
Predmore, R. Robertson, and Charles
Sargent, and the Pawnee City entries
are Max Atkinson, Harry Beebe,
James Daugherty, Allen Edle, Donald
Huntley, Carl Martin," Mervin Haley,
James Orr, and Rex Stunsor. Merna
has entered a single athlete Down
ing. The problem of picking the winning
team tomorrow resolves itself down
into a problem of determining how
many stellar individual athletes there
are on some of the teams from the
smaller schools. Dope points clearly
toward Omaha, based upon her per
formance last Saturday in the Mis
souri Valley meet, when she easily
cleaned up on the bigger schools of
the Valley. It appears to be Omaha
against the field, but if there are en
tered In the meet good enough com
petition to rob the Metropolitans of
points In the field events, for instance,
where they made the bulk of their
points in the Valley meet, some of
the other schools will have a good
chance to outpoint them. Lincoln
looks like the second best wager.
Pawnee City, with a team listing sev
eral of last year's veterans, Is a dark
horse which may upset the existing
dope.
The meet will be run on time
schedule which opens with the pre
liminaries of the hundred yard dash
promptly at 2:30 and closes with the
relays, beginning at 4:50. As has al
ways been the custom, the hammer
and discus events will be run off in
the morning, because of the danger
connected with them. Those who de
sire to see this part of the program
may do bo from the grandstand;, only
the athletes, attendants, and officials
will be allowed on the field. The reg
ular admision price of twenty-five
cents will be charged.

TEAM LEAVES FOR
GOPHERLAIID TODAY
Nebraska Hat Chance to Win From
Minnesota Tomorrow In Last
Dual Meet of Season
The track squad - leaves at two
o'clock this afternoon for Minneapolis,
where they wil meet the Gophers to
morrow. Sixteen men will make the
trip: Captain Zumwinkle, Scott, Ir
win, Bates, Deering, Goetze, Spohn,
McMasters, Anderson, Kubik.Clark,
Reavis, Hummel, Ankeny, Sheldon,
and Otoupalik.
Dope favors Minnesota, but the
chances of Nebraska's Inexperienced
squad - winning the ' last dual
meet of the season are bet
ter than they have been since
Valley competition began. The
squad is getting Its stride a thing
which other teams of the Valley at
tained two or three weeks ago be
cause of better training facilities
and most of the men are In good con
dition. The Gophers are more evenly
balanced than Nebraska, but with the
exception of one or two events, are
strong where the Huskers are strong.
For this reason Nebraska's chances
to outpoint her rival are better than
against Kansas or Ames.
Existing dope places the final resnlt
of the meet on the hurdles and relays.
The total of the remainder of the pro
gram seems to be pretty evenly di
vided between the two teams. Ne
braska has the edge in the sprints,
and Minnesota in the distances. All
the dope In the pole vault belongs to
the Huskers, and they stand a good
chance to split even on the jumps.
The weights look like Minnesota, al
though Sheldon, a new Husker re
cruit, has been doing well in practice.
Although the squad assembled on
the athletic field yesterday, practice
was rather exclusive. The heat made
a good workout inadvisable, and after
limbering up a little and receiving a
little special work from Coach Reed,
the men were sent to the gymnasium.
