RECORDS FALL IN
MINNESOTA MEET
THREE NEW NEBRASKA AND TWO
MINNESOTA MARKS SET
Finney Lowers Time in Both the
Hurdlea Riddell iind Graf
Show Up
Three Nebraska records and two
Minnesota records were broken Sat
urday when the Cornhuskers sprung
one of the biggest surprises in years
and defeated the Gopher track men
66 to 69.
As in the meet three years ago when
Kebraska beat the Gophers a few
points when Zumwinkle won the mile
relay, so the meet Saturday depended
upon the mile relay and the Corn
luskers produced the goods. The vic
tory is the more remarkable when It
is considered that the Cornhuskers
were represented by only eleven men
and that in two events none were en
tered, and in four others only one
man was entered. Lack of men to
put in these places gave the Gophers
a lead of 28 points without really com
petition. The.-e was no event in which
Minnesota did not have two men en
tered. Three Cornhuakera Shine
The individual performances of Rid
dell, Finney and Graf were the most
notable as these were the three who
established the new record. Ted
Riddell, who had been seriously work
ing on the javelin throw for about a
week before the meet, competed
Finney Still Improving
Mike Finney ran the high hurdles
in 15 3-5 seconds, which is 15 of a
second better than the record estab
lished in 1909 by McDonald. Not being
content with this remarkable perform
ance, Mike went in a little later and
ran the low hurdles in 25 4 5 seconds,
15 of a second slower than the stand
ing record for that distance. In the
two mile Graf cut seven seconds off
the record he made a week ago Sat
urday, running the distance in 9 min
utes 52 seconds. This is the record
that will stand in place of the former
10 minutes and 6 seconds made by
Louis Anderson also in 1909.
Some Other Performances
There were a number of other re
markable records made by the Corn
huskers. Reese in winning the shot
made a put of 39 feet 34 inches. Later
he threw the discus over 121 feet and
forced Mauser to make a new Min
nesota record to beat him. Captain
Overman won the mild easily and !
the half mile he drew second. Owen
tied his record of 51 seconds for the
440, which he made last year in the
Minnesota meet. Werner in making
12 points was the individual star of
the Nebraska team.
Nebraska took ten firsts and tied
for the eleventh while the Gophers, in
the events in which there was a Ne
braska man entered, took three firsts
and tied for one.

be repealed and friendly laws substi

will come only from an enlightened

FESTIVAL CLOSES
WITH HIAWATHA"
MUSICAL VERSION SUNG BY
CHORUS AND GLEE CLUB
Closing the annual May music festi
val last evening, the University chorus,
aided by Thomas McGranahan, tenor,
and Cha les E. Galagher, basso, of
Chicago, and Anette Abbott, eoprona,
of Lincoln, presented the musical ver
sion of "Hiawatha" by Coleridge Tay
lor. The Temple was filled by a
varied audience of students and Lin
coln people.
The glee club was represented in
small numbers because so many of the
men have left for the training camp
and for farms at home, and the chorus
was also somewhat depleted, but the
work of both organizations, under the
direction of Mrs. Raymond, was a fit
ting close to their successful season.
It was their only formal appearance
since their return from University
week.
The Story of "Hiawatha"
The special singers in solo parts
were well received by the audience.
Thomas McGranahan won particular
recognition for his tenor.
The story cf the composition of "Hia
watha," with Its masterly interpreta
tion of Indian music, is almost as fasci
nating as the legend itself, for it is in
part the story of Coleridge Taylor, a
strange figure among composers. Of
negro parentage, Taylor spent most ot
bis life in England, where he was
honored and liked by the British.
"Hiawatha" is one of his best composi
tions, and the reproduction of Indian
music found in it is said to be some of
the best that las ever been scaled.
