Carson Is Individual Star With

The freshmen romped away frim

through tlio work of Carson. Molari

Tho track moot Saturday w as some
thine now in tho annals of Nebraska
athlotios. Tho intor-class and inter
fiatornity championship was sottlo
in tho one tournament. Tho points
-on in any ovont counting for both
class and fraternity. Tho tourna
mcnt was open to all and there wore
many men entered who had never
been out for practice.
Tho cold drizzly weather mussed
thines up a bit but some pretty races
resulted in spite of the mud. A hair
raisin? finish was staffed in the half
mile race when McGuire ate up the
fifteen yards between himself and
Dick Newman on the home stretch
and finished so close it was hard to
pick the winner. Considering the
condition of the track, Billy Bryans
made exceptionally pood time in the
220 yard dash when he stepped it off
in 24.2. Throe heats were necessary
to narrow the 100-yard list of con
testants down to six, and the final
beat was nip and tuck between Mo
rearity and Deering but the latter
was nosed out by the ex-Omaha high
man.
Carson Individual Star
The freshmen had things all their
own way. The work of Carson alone
was enough to win for them. "Shan
ty" has proved himself to be the best
all-around athlete of the season and
will be a mainstay in the varsity next
year if he keeps up his present speed.
He won points in the high hurdles,
ihebroad jump, pole vault, shot put.
discus, and javelin throw. Morearity
took second individual honors with
11 points, Schellenberg took, third
with ten, and fourth goes to Peering

SIC EPS SHOW SPEED
IN SECOND ROUND
Display Championship Form in
Easeball Game with Phi
Kappa Psi.
The Sig Eps are beginning to look
like winners in the interfraternity
baseball race. Last Friday they
whipped the Phi Psi's by a score of
21 to nothing in a no hit game,
but one Phi Psi saw first base in the
seven innings and that was the result
of a free transportation. Pickett
pitched the first five innings for the
Sig Eps and Zink the last two. Their
opponents absolutely failed to solve
delivery, and 16 were struck out in
the seven innings. Besides pitching
air tight ball, Pickett proved the best
slugger of the game by laying down
three safe ones out of four times up.
The score:
Sigma Phi Epsilon 21.

Nebraska Professors Co-operate
in State Good Roads Movement
The co-operation which the Nni
versity of Nebraska has displayed
in the new good roads movement for
this state, and the enormous amount
of interest which is being displayed
in putting Nebraska on a level with
other states in regard to nignway im
provements, is graphically illustrated
by the university's close association
with the Pershing Highway, and with
all other road activities oi me suie.
The various departments of the school
have given gladly of their time and
i-nnwledge to further an wormy pro-
ects for new highways.
In the first place. Prof. George R.
Chatburn, of the engineering college,
has been one of the most prominent
active road workers in the West, and
has just completed a most interesting
ext book on "Highway Engineering,"
n which he emphasizes the discussion
of rural roads and pavements. Pro
fessor Chatburn has not only rendered
his services to the people of Nebraska,
but has often been called to other
states to act as an authority on road
building. In the second place, the en

SEMI-CENTENNIAL BOOK
TO BE COMPLETED SOON
2,000 Copies of Publication Will
be Ready for Distribution in
Next Few Days.
The semi-centennial anniversary
book is now in page-proof form and
should bo ready for distribution within
a short time. Two thousand copies
will be printed, in order ihat there
may be enough for campus purposes
and for those who return for the cele
bration in May and enough to keep
on hand for awhile. Another book of
the kind will not be due for fifty years.
Several hundred of the two thousand
copies will be bound in red cloth. The
six illustrations will include pictures
of Chancellor Avery (frontpiece), of
Chancellors I. J. Manatt, J. H. Can
field, E. B. Andrews, and of Deans A.
H. Edgren and C. E. Bessey. TJhere
will be no pictures of buildings since
these are to be found in abundance in
the Cornhusker and since it seemed
desirable to keep the book inexpensive.
All the historical and personal mat
ter which, could well be crowded into
150 pages will appear in the book;
and a book of that number of pages,
containing illustrations, is surely all
that could be expected for fifty cents.
Some persons who have looked over
the table of contents have expressed
disappointment that no attempt has
been made by the contributors to
sketch the history of various depart
ments. Subjects like history, agricul
ture, commerce, philosophy, engineer
ing, linguistics, physical science, liter
ature, have not been given separate
reatment. But several volumes would
have been required for a history of
.he university written from the stand
point of departments. When the book
was planned it was aimed to restrict
ts articles to topics pertaining to gen
eral university life or to the interests
of the university as a whole.
gineering college at the university is
well equipped for the testing of road
materials. A great amount of testing
of Nebraska soils and soils of other
localities has been done within the
past few months. Professor Clark E.
Mickey of this same department is an
expert on paving materials, and has
done much work throughout the state
along construction lines. Only re
cently he was called to Aurora to act
as paving authority for the city in a
suit against a certain contractor, who
did not live up to his guarantees.
Professor L. W. Chase is another Ne
braska road booster, and has always
strongly advocated the dragging of
roads as a means of proper mainte
nance. Again, the state conservation and
soil survey with offices in Nebraska
Hall, within the department of geog
raphy and conservation at the univer
sity, has been a mighty factor in the
proposition for a new road ra for Ne
braska. They have complete charge
of all surveys of road materials in the

HUSKER TEAM TAKES
SECOND IN RELAYS
Pennsylvania Takes Mile Event at
Penn Meet; Nebraska Comes
Close Second.
McMahon Stars in Big Run
Wires Call It "Heartbreak
ing Race."
The Cornhusker relay team com
posed of Byron McMahon. Ed. Smith,
lohn Gihbs, and "Rudy" Fuchs. won
second place in the one mile relay
race for the championship of America,
held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia,
ast Saturday. The University of
'ennsylvania quartet captured first
lonors. The slow time of 3:35 for
this race was caused by the freezing
emperature and high wind. The one
mile championship event was charac-
orizod as a "heartbreaking race" by
no of the Sunday dispatches, and the
Cornhusker fans anxiously await a
nore detailed" account from Coach
Stewart and the team.
Nebraska was a post-entry in the
big Quaker meet and had to take the
wtside lane in a field of eight teams.
This meant a fifteen yard handicap.
The wav the boys overcame this dis
advantage will prove an interesting
story which will have to wait for tho
eturn of the Scarlet and Cream
ithletes next Monday eevning or Tues
lay morning.
Relay Team a Surprise.
Two weeks ago the school was not
aware that it possessed a prize win
ning team. One week before the
Pennsylvania event it won the cham
pionship of the West by winning the
nile relay at Drake. The Pennsyl
vania authorities immediately wired
hat although the entry list for the
jig meet had been closed, Nebraska
would be allowed to enter. The
-oaches who say the team perform at
Drake urged Coach Stewart to send
t by all means.
The Nebraska mentor decided to do
so and appealed to the student body
to raise the necessary funds. This de
cision was reached last Tuesday morn
ing and but twenty-four hours re
mained before the team must leave.
There was no time to organize a cam
paign and Coach Stewart appealed to
the fraternities to put the deal across.
The next day the team caught the 4:30
Burlington for Chicago.
A few minutes before leaving the
coach penned the following lines which
need no comment:
"On behalf of Byron McMahon,
Rudolph Fuchs, Edward Smith and
John Gibbs, I wish 1o express the
incerest appreciation for the remark
able out-pouring of good will and dol
ars from the fraternities, sororities,
