RACE From Nebraska's viewpoint (he nhowinK of tl,e Husker tenni at the Drake relays Saturday afternoon was vpry encouraging. The Cornhuskers' mile relay team ran the distance within 3 5 of second as fast as It ,lid last year but its opponents used a little better judgment and stepped it off faster at the finish. In the mile event Oibbs lead off for Nebraska and finished one yard to the pood of the field, lime 521.

Had Captain McMahon brcn is the Husker lineup the time probably would have been 3 to 4 fpooads faatcr. Th four mile team did exception ally well considering the home field that they have been compelled to practice and the fields that the opposi tion have been working out on. The Buskers did not know how to run the race as was shown by the fact that some got away to a flying start and couldn't finish while others saved too much energy. The Husker field has not boea in good shape this spring and Coach Schulte has not been nr fordrd a fair opportunity to put the (Continued on Page Four) HIGH SCHOOL MEET TO BE HELD MAY 15 State Athletes Will Compete for Honors in Largest Event of its Kind. Plans are Under way to make this spring's high school meet to be held here May 15 one of the largest and most successful ever staged in the United States. The entry list has already swelled far beyond the ex pectations of Coach Schulte and those in charge of this work. The new sys tem of grouping the teams and schools seems to have been met with great favor with the coaches and superintendents of the state high schools. Nebraska high schools do not compare very favorably with our neighboring state high schools. A comparison by points scored: I I K M I O ! C N ion 4 I 220 440 4 ! t 4 I 3 1 Mile 4 ! 1 120 II.

HUSKER-HASKALL MATCHES PROMISE PLENTY OF PEP The coming Husker-Haskall base ball tiffs which will be staged on the local plateau Friday and Saturday threaten to furnish, loyal Nebraskans with plenty of worry and lots of ex citement. The recent reverses which the Huskers suffered at the hands of the Sooners are sufficient to make the team work up a lot of enthusiasm and determination to make a success of the coming games. With Pickett back on the moimd, Nebraska prospects seem rosier than before. Experience has done worlds toward strengthening tho Husker nine and the . games promise to be well worth winning.

Captain Troendly of the Nebraska wrestling team may participate in the Olympic games at Antwerp, Belgium. At least the dope from wrestling circles intimates that the Husker wizzard has a splendid chance to go to the meet in August. Troendly re turned Monday from Chicago with the Engineers' Inspection Trip Tarty after an absence of almost a month. Troendly's opportunity came when George Pineo, trainer of George Metro- polus who won the national amateur title in the 135 ponud class at Binning ham. Alabama. April 5-6, approached the Husker captain and made him a proposition which is highly in favor of the Nebraskan. Troendly's work at the National meet was outstanding (Continued on Page Four) WILL DEBATE ON ELUSIVE ARTICLE Demons of the "Think Shop' Contest League of Nations Hoodoo. to A good place to hear an intelligent discussion of elusive Article X of the League of Nations Covenant will be at the Temple Theater, Friday eve ning at eight o'clock. The admission will be thirty-five cents and tickets may be reserved now. The teams that will represent Ne braska in the first inter-state debate for a number of years are well pre pared to argue the question that is of utmost importance because of the election of a President this year. When Senator Hitchcock was in Bin coin recently he conferred with the members of the Cornhusker debating teams and made the following state ment: "Those fellows have certainly studied that subject. They surely know how to ask questions." The Debaters' Workshop A peep into the workshop of the men who are to represent Nebraska in the first debates with Iowa is further proof of the untiring energy they have used to dig up every pos sible phase of the question. Old de bate periodicals, current magazines, articles and everything pertaining to the League of Nations Covenant have been resurrected to aid the debaters in their investigations. The negative team, consisting of Miles Ilildreth, '21, of Lincoln; Wil liam C. Cull, law '21. of Oakland; Oscar A. Drake, law '21. of Kearney; and Fred C. Campbell, (alternate), '22, of Lincoln, will leave for Iowa City Wednesday night. The affirmative team will meet Iowa at the Temple. Louis B. Finkel stein, law '22, of Lincoln; Cecil C. Strimple, law '22. of Omaha; Robert Van Pelt, '20, law '22, of Stockville; and Stephen A. Durisch, law '21. of Lincoln, compose the team. The Innocents Society has charge of the business end of the Lincoln de bate and Hiram Studley has been designated to manage the discussion for that society. COUNCIL PRESENTS REVISED CONSTITUTION BEFORE SCHOOL Body Places Document Containing for Settlement at Elections to Proposed Changes to PLACE HONOR SPIRIT ON The student body will soon take their stand on two propositions pre sented by the Student Council, that of amending tho constitution of the Council and the Honor Spirit plan of taking examinations. These two propositions will be submitted to a general vote or all students on Tues day, May 4. The present constitution was adopt ed by a vote of the students in May, 1917, and accordingly approved by the Regents. Due to the war no Council was organized until the spring of 1919, at which time the present members were elected. This first Student Council found that in practice the constitution was inadequate, be cause it did not provide, for represen tation of newly organized colleges such as the Dental College and Busi ness Administration; because it made no provisions for filling vacancies caused by members leaving school; because a proper system was not out lined for nominating members of the Council; and it also did not niaKe n clear that, students, not members of the Council, were welcome to come to the regular meetings; nor did it pro vide that the Student Council, which was organized to further the inter ests of the student body, should have any representation on the various boards and committees that control the various expressions of student life and aetiities. According to of ficers of the present Council, it is nut the aim now or any time to control these boards and committees but simply to have representation on them. By the amendments offered and approved by students in mass meeting early in April, these inade quacies are thought to be largely filled, and at. the same time not interfering in any way with any other organiza tions now in existence.
