FAST COMPETITION
IN PEHII CARNIVAL
Cornhusker Speed Merchants May
Attend National Track Meet
This Month.
Large Eastern Colleges Will Be
Represented by Many Fa
mous Athletes.
Cornhusker track enthusiasts are
nterested In the following announce
ment of one of the greatest national
track events. Nebraska hopes some
day, to compete in this great tourna
ment and the wonderful prospects 'or
next year's team map turn this dream
into a reality.
Pennsylvania's Annual Relay Car
nival to be held on Franklin Field on
April 25 and 26 looms up once more
as the greatest athletic meet of the
year. Already, . the list of teams en
tered is approaching the 300 mark and
it now looks as If every college relay
team fast enough to warrant taking
to the meet andi every star college
athlete east of the Rocky Mountains
will be on hand for the great classic
All the big colleges of both the
east and the west have sent word that
they will be on hand. The track
games of the past two weeks indicate
that the calibre of the teams entered
will be right up to pre-war standards
Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Chicago
Michigan, Columbia, Dartmouth, Notre
Dame, Yale and many other colleges
have had their athletes In action and
some remarkable performances have
been seen. In the east, the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania and Harvard
have made the best showing in relay
racing.
Pennsylvania's one mile team has
shown itself the fastest indoor team
in the east. In the vest, Chicago has
a similar distinction so that the meet
ing of these two teams at the Relay
Carnival will be well worth seeing.
But outdoor racing is different from
indoor work and both Pennsylvania
and Chicago will have to look to their
laurels for Harvard, Pittsburgh, Michi
gan. Columbia, Dartmouth, and Mass
chusetts Inst, of Tech. will have real
fast teams to put In this event.
Fast Half Milers
In the two mile relay Harvard re
cently proved against Yale that they
have some fast half milers. They
will be hard to beat in this event at
the Relay Carnival, though Cornell,
KTNt name Chieaeo. .State and
nunc "
Columbia are known to have fast
Quarters. The long distance men
have not yet had their innings but
Judging by general reports, the four
mile relay championship will be up
to the standard. The eastern colleges
will watch Coach Stagg of Chicago
oloselv as he has a rare lot of dis
tance men and will be strong in either
the two or the four mile event, though
he can hardly expect to have fast
teams In both races.

FRANCIS DIERS SHOT
III HOLDUP ACCIDENT
Little Improvement Shown In
Condition of Uni. Student
Injured Saturday Night.
Francis H. Diers, '22, of Lincoln,
who was shot in the abdomen by a
youthful holdup Saturday night while
auto riding south of the city with
Paul Dobson and1 two girl friends, is
still in a critical condition at the Lin
coln Sanitarium. The .45 caliber bul
let which was fired by the boy bandit
lodged in Dier's liver and was re
moved by operation Sunday, leaving
him in a serious condition. The doc
tors said last night that he was about
the same and they could not report
any marked improvement.
The two couples were motoring in
Dobson's car at Twenty-fourth and
VanDorn streets about 11:45 p. m.
when three men,j masked with
bandanna handkerchiefs rushed out
ordered the occupants of the car to
throw up their hands. Two of the
holdups jumped onto the running
boards of the car and pointed re
volvers at the men. Dobson who was
driving reached down to shift the
gears and both of the gunmen fired.
One bullet hit Diers, who was riding
in the back seat, and the other glanced
oast Dobson's head and shattered the
wind shield. All three bandits then
fled and were not seen until the police
caught them Monday morning.

Burglar Visits
Goes Away
The Thetas opened spring vacation
with a burglar.
He was the first prowler to visit a
fraternity house this year. Moreover
he was a nice burglar and didn't take
anything, although he stirred up some
little excitement. Here's the way it
happened In the vicinity of the Kappa
AlDha Theta house, 1548 R street, in
the early hours of last Thursday
morning.
The shades of night had fallen fast.
The Junior Prom was ovor. The long
line from Piller's had been absorbed
by the darkless, and everyone seemed
to have the spirit of a real spring
vacation. Long files of girls wltn
suitcases went forth to catch those
trains that persist In leaving during
the wee hours of the morning.
The Kappa Alpha Theta House was
dark dark as the shadows around It.
Only the glimmer of a dimmed street
light served as a beacon to the weary
passersby. Two objects or rather per-
nages were the sole moving bits or
scenry in th siinoueuea ianaajtie.
These objects were sitting very ltll
the front porch of the Theta House.
They were Mildred Smith and OrvMe
Ellerbrock who had returned from the
Junior Prom.
Out of the inky blackness of the
night emerged a gaunt figure on a
bicycle. Stealthily he tiptoed to the
front window of the house. Quietly
neered in. All was dark. Not a
creature was stirring within and only
two were slightly stirring without.
HUSKER MAT MEN
GRAPPLE THURSDAY
Every Wrestler in School Urged
by Dr. Clapp to Enter
Tourney.
Entries Must Be Made by Wed
nesday Medals and Jerseys
to Winners.
The Cornhusker wrestling season
will culminate Thursday night in the
big annual all university wrestling
tournament at the Armory. The pre
liminaries will start promptly at 8:00
o'clock and bouts in the six classes
will be run off in quick succession. All
entries must be made with Dr. Clapp
today or before 6 o'clock tomorrow.
The tournament will be staged un
der the rules of the Western Intercol
legiate Gymnastic, 'Wrestling and
Fencing Association. Time limit for
the bouts will be seven minutes and
all contestants must be down to ac
tual weight and may weigh in any
time after 11:00 a. m. Thursday. A
referee has not been selected, but It Is
probable that Dr. R. A. Clapp, who has
been coaching the team this season,
will officiate.
Medals for Winners
The man who proves his supremacy
In each of the six classes will be the
undisputed university champion In
this division and will be presented
with a medal and a jersey. E. H. Long
of the College Book Store has donated
the handsome medals and the jerseys
are the usual scarlet and cream wres
tling jerseys given by the Athletic
Department at the end of each sea
son. However, if the gate receipts
prove heavy enough the management
is considering the purchase of sir
beautiful dress jerseys, which can be
proudly worn on all occasions.
Open to All
This annual tournament is an all
university affair and any man may en
er, be he freshman or senior. The
heavyweight honors will without
doubt be landed by a representative
of the first year men, as Pucelick and
Monte Munn are the two strongest
contenders in this field, unless some
dark horse suddenly takes the mat.
Dr. Clapp strongly urges pvery man

Theta House;
Lmpty tlanaea
Suddenly spying the front porch
occupants the dark figure paused,
groped in the darkness, and was gone.
At 2 A. M.
A Theta freshman had just sounded
the gong In the dining room announc
ing that it was two a. m. when she
suddenly remembered that she must
hasten back to bed. Five minutes
later all was quiet again. The only
sound was the mumbling from the
study where some diligent Theta
poured over her Political Science
lesson.
Without warning a shrill scream
Issued forth from the chamber of Miss
Fay Davis. She had seen a flashlight
as it flickered through her transom.
Her nail file was ready for instant
action. Quietly she lay and tnougnt
she heard a bicycle going softly down
the stairway.
On the third floor Miss Ruth Wilson
had decided shortly after retiring that
the heater In the basement must be
turned on. Leaving her room she de
scended to the cellar. While she was
gone the bicycled burglar entered her
room. When she returned the burglar
had disappeared, but Mistress Fay
with white face, met Mistress Ruth at
her doorway and related the happen
ings of the previous ten minutes. Im
mediately Miss Wilson clutched a
uu....a.. wnicn remained in her liu.
The burglar burgled nothing. It is
not known whether he wanted money
only or whether the rumor of smallpox
at the Theta house discouraged him
in his plundering.
