NEBRASKA SHOULD PLACE
Nebraska is putting out some
promising candidates tor the Pennsyl
vania Relays which are to be held
April 30 to May 1. The one-mile re
lay leam is one of the three best
teams in America when the four men.
Gibbs, Stromer. Owen and McMahon
are in good shape. The other two
great learns are Pennsylvania and
Missouri.
With Hob Simpson in the profes
sional ranks and Earl Thompson, a
Canadian citizen, America is looking
for high hurdlers for the Olympic
team. Finney has been brought along
slowly but in recent tryouts he has
looked pretty good. He almost cer
tainly would be in for place at Penn
sylvania at the least.
Wright can run the 440 hurdles for
place at the least on Friday. On
Saturday he can run in the high
hurdles.
For Pentathlon men, Nebraska hps
Dale, Carson and O'Brian. In a try-
out Tuesday these three men made a
good showing. Dale led in this try-
out. Another will be held next Mon
day. With a little improvement the
best one of the three would look like
a strong place man in the Pentathlon.
Anv one of these men who would
palce first, second or even third at
the Relay games would have 1he at
tention of the American Olympic Com
mittee. They are good men and can
be depended upon to make a credit
able showing.

More "Co-eds" Out for Athletics
this Spring than Ever
Before.
BASEBALL GROWS POPULAR
With a track meet, a swimming
meet and an inter-class baseball
tournamen looming up in the near
future, athletic sports are interesting
more Nebraska girls this spring than
ever before. Outdoor baseball is tak
ing all of the gym classes away from
the winter schedule of indoor gym
nastics to the lively games on the
athletic field.
i The swimming meet is to take place
May 6, and more than seventy-five
girls are working for places on the
class teams. To be eligible for try
ouls, a girl must have had ten prac
tices. Tryouts for class teams will
be held a short time before the meet,
and will take the form of individual
coniesis. in which each girl may
demonstrate her abilily. The pool at
the high school has been the scene
of a lively time each Tuesday and
Thursday evening, when it is open to
the University swimming classes.
W. A. A. Track Meet
On May S, the annual track meet
is to be held under the auspices of
the W. A. A. There are no required
practices in order to compete in track
events; any girl who thinks she may
be able to run, or vault, or jump, or
throw a baseball, may enter the meet
A number of different events will be
scheduled and will furnish opportunity
for all girls who wish to enter to
earn W. A. A. points.
The week after the track meet, the
inter-class baseball tournament is to
be held. Practices are being held for
this now at various hours each day.
A great deal of interest is shown, and
anyone who maintains that women
don't know anything about baseball
should watch one of these practice
games for a few minutes, and see if
his idea is not entirely changed. Irene
Springer, W. A. A. president, says
there are more girl out for baseball
this spring than ever, and the amount
of enthusiasm shown speaks well for
a remarkable inter-class tournament
W. A. A. credit will be given for
winning a place on any team in base
ball and swimming, as well as to the
winning teams. Credit will also be
given to girls participating in the in
dividual swimming contests, and to
the winners of track events. Not only
physical education girls, but all Ne
braska girls are eligible lor entry
One hundred poinls entitle a girl to
membership in the Women's Athletic
Association.
