MINNESOTA GOMES FOR LAST DUAL TRACK MEET WILL MEET NEBRASKA IN LINCOLN ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON Cornhuskers Anticipating Victory Over An cient Rival Fast Time and New Records Expected The Cornhusker track team will meet the Minnesota Gophers in a dual meet Saturday, May 20, at 2:30 o'clock on Nebraska field. Nebraska has a good chance to win, according to Coach Guy E. Reed, although the score will be very close. The meet will rival the famous Minnesota Nebraska one of 1910, back in the days of Louis Anderson and Guy Reed, for keenness of competition and closeness of the score. In that meet the century went at 10 seconds flat, the 220 in 221-5 seconds, the quarter in 50 2-5 seconds, while every other event was a thriller from start to finish. Although Min nesota is as strong as Kansas or Ames, yet the Cornhusker youngsters have improved so rapidly that they expect to get the long end of the score. Two new events will be seen Saturday. The javelin throw, which has never been staged this far west in a dual meet. G. Hauser and Sprafka of Minnesota are the two best jave lin throwers in the western conference. Brian O'Brian, the Nebraska man, is one of the most promising javelin throwers in the United States. The hammer is the other new event. This has been dropped from Missouri Val ley meets during the last two years, but will be an event Saturday. The sprints will be close. Ballentine and Johnson of Minnesota are both good men. Scott and Irwin, however, are the classiest pair of sprinters Nebraska has ever had. They have won first and second in the hundred in every meet held this year. In the quarter, Bierman is good, but Owen is better than Guy Reed himself was in the first year of varsity work. It will be no surprise if Owen breaks the 50 2-5 second record before he leaves school. Watson of Minnesota, the premier long dis tance man of the western conference, will be seen in the mile and two-mile. The shot will go over 41 feet, as both the Minnesota man and Ed Shaw can make that heave.

GIRL'S ATHLETICS HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SEASON INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPORTS FOR EVERY TIME OF YEAR Constitutional Convention Will Probably Be Selected at Same Time. Class Contests Stimulate Enthusiasm Ath letic Association Awards Letters to the Stars An election will be held May 26 for the pur pose of deciding whether or not the students desire the adoption of the Student Council, ac cording to the decision of Chancellor Avery Wednesday morning. The decision was the re sult of a popular demand made evident to the chancellor through resolutions and petitions from various organizations about school. All persons who are eligible to vote at class elections will be eligible to vote on this propo sition. The other details of the ballot are yet to be arranged. All that can be done at this time is to vote on the desirability of the plan. As a represent ative body has not made out a constitution, it will be necessary to call a convention for that purpose. It is probable, however, that the dele gates to the convention can be selected on that date. The full particulars of the election will be published in Monday's Nebraskan. One of the most successful years in the his tory of girls' athletics at Nebraska closed with the girls' annual track meet, held on Nebraska field, May 4. With field hockey and tennis in the fall; basketball and skating in the winter; volleyball, baseball and track ath letics in the spring; swimming all the year round at the Y. M. C. A. pool, university girls, under the direction of Miss Ina Gittings, di rector of the women's gymnasium, and Miss Marie Clark, assistant, have received accurate training in all forms of. girls' sports. The field hockey season lasted through Sep tember, October and part of November. Prac tices were held every day at 11 o'clock on Nebraska field. The fact that field hockey was a new game brought out only a small num ber of players and it was impossible to have an interclass tournament. However, the up perclassmen and lowerclassmen organized (Colitinuedonpage 15) The Program of the Omaha Trip The program for the university students' trip to Omaha Friday is given below.

Delay In Plans Steel Prices Are Exhorbitant The end of the spring season work on the new university buildings finds satisfactory progress on the chemistry and Bessey build ings on the city campus, and completion of the power plant and horse barn on the farm campus, with the new dairy husbandry build ing almost finished. Exhorbitant prices on structural steel, caused by the European war, have meant a delay in letting the contract for the agricultural building at the state farm, and have caused the construction department to hesitate in its plans for the social science and teachers' college buildings on the city campus. Last week, the informal laying of the cor ner stone of the Bessey building was held, participated in by members of the botany de partment. The formal dedication, with exer cises in honor of Dean Bessey, will be held later in the year. There was a note of sad ness in the exercises last week, as it had been the dearest wish of Dean Bessey's friends that the Bessey building exercises could be held with him present. His work placed the Uni versity of Nebraska botany department first in the United States. His death was the more untimely that the realization of his dream of of a splendid properly equipped building for the study of his beloved science was at hand when he died last year. The Bessey building is the furthest advanced of the city campus buildings. The founda tion of white stone has been set, and the steel girders and supports for part of the second floor have been placed. The building occu pies all the ground between Twelfth and Thir teenth streets, and will face north on U street. Just southwest of the Bessey building, at Twelfth and T streets, facing east, the chem istry building is being erected. The concrete piles have been poured and the basement walls set in. This building is now ready for the structural steel. Full forces of laborers are busy on both city campus buildings. At the farm the roof is being placed on the dairy husbandry building. It will be ready for use in the fall, and possibly during a part of the summer session. Neither the chem istry nor the Bessey buildings will be ready before a year from next fall. The university was fortunate, however, in letting the contract for these structures before the advance in steel came.
