ANNUAL DUAL MEET
THE DAY'S PROGRAM FOR THE OMAHA TRIP
MAYOR SMITH TURNS
OVER KEYS OF CITY
AT AMES CANCELLED
University to Run on Basis ot
Three Firsts in Each
Event.
Husker Track Men Will Train
Hard for Grinnell Meet
Next Week.
The dual match with Ames Satur
day has been called off. Coach Stew
art received a telegram yesterday
morning from Amea announcing that
Grinnell was willing to meet them on
the basis of counting first three
places in each event which Nebraska
was not willing to do. The Corn
husker track squad will be given a
thorough tryout Saturday afternoon
on the athletic field at 2:30 and the
coach will probably make the final
selection of representatives for the
dual battle with Grinnell next Satur
day. May 10.
The cancelling of the Ames contest
was perhaps advantageous for the
Cornhuskers since they were expect
ing a drubbing. Ames will now lock
horns with Grinnell and give the Ne
braskans a line on the team which
they will battle next week. It would
have been suicide for Nebraska to
have gone to Ames on the three place
basis. Coach Stewart could have tak
en but one man for all but one or two
events and the third places could
have been nabbed for the asking by
the lowans.
It is absolutely necessary that every
man who hopes to go to Grinnell be
on the field tomorrow afternoon. The
coach is hesitating in making his se
lection because he knows that sev
eral men have been coming strong
and can beat some of the oval artists
he would have chosen.

quet of the school year Wednesday

The Student Should Know-
THE INNOCENTS
The Innocents has come to be an
organization of thirteen Senior men,
chosen each year by the outgoing so
ciety. They are representative of the
men who have shown the greatest in
terest In the welfare of the school,
in the underclasses. The society was
organized April 24. 1903, as the re
sult of four or five years of delib
erate consideration of the needs and
place of such a body. . Former Dean
Roscoe Pound, present dean of Har
vard Law College, said: "The very
purpose of its existence was to fur
nish a compact corps of harmonious
workers, where college spirit and
enthusiasm might be generated; to
give a body of men who would be
pledged to put their shoulders to the
wheel In all university undertakings;
to be a guiding central body to lead
in those things that fall In the Uni
versity of Nebraska, because, being
left to the student body in general,
flie old maxim applies, 'What Is ev
erybody's business Is nobody's busi
ness'." Tills standard the Innocents have
since attempted to follow. They have
aided In getltng valuable athletic
material; have been In charge of
football rallies and torch light pa
rades, and have chosen the cheer
leaders to lead In these celebrations.
It is the Innocents who conduct the
Freshman Convocation at the begin
ning of each school year and present
to the new men of the University
their first ideas and conceptions of
student life. They supervise the an
nual Olympics between the Sopho
mores and Freshmen, and manage
banauets. They have
aided and co-operated with both facul
ty and student body In a number of
different enterprises such as War
Work campaigns, War Camp Com
munity Service parties for soldiers,
Cornhusker mliers, Sneak Day, the
annual shirt-tall parade. Fete Day.

Cost vs. Knowledge
Many, students have expressed a
desire to have a group which Included
all the "movie teaters," and play
houses, but It is safe to say that these
will be Incorporated In many of the
groups by the students themselves.
One very careful of his finances can
make the trin on $3.56. The cost is
Bmall and the returns are so great
that In an educational way the trip
will prove to be equal to many days
of the most diligent study out of
musty textbook.

braved the weather to accept the
keys of the city.
The few who had the courage of
their convictions and went In spite
of the notable storm were amply
repaid, however, as the reception
accorded them was far beyond the
expectations of the most optimltic.
Not only did the city open its gates
to them without reserve, but a
great many of the business men and
women devoted the day to their en
tertainment, at a great personal sac
