Win Missouri Valley
Track Meet
THREE ATHLETES SHOW UP
Freshmer Are Supplyinfl a Wealth
of Promising Material for
Succeeding Years.
Nebraska easily capured first place
in the open Invitation meet held under
the auspices of the Omaha Y. M. C.
A. at Omaha last Saturday. The
Husker athletes captured the lion's
share of the firsts, seconds and a few
thirds.
Chances for winning the Missouri
Valley track meet to be held later in
the spring are above par with the
records made bseveral of Nebraska's
star performers at the Kansas City
meet and the Illinois meet Both of
these were Indoor affairs but gave
the followers of the Husker track
team some idea as to the strength of
the Nebraska cinder path artists.
Three Outstanding Athletes.
Wright. Deerlng and Dale will prob
mhiv be the big individual point win-
fnr the Husker school. These
uno v
men have already won a great deal of
prominence by their performances in
the various events In both of these
meets. Wright breasting the tape
first in the hurdle events at Illinois
and taking second at Kansas City.
Deerinc captured the fifty-yard dash
at Kansas City from a big field of
Missouri Valley sprinters and he also
defeated some of the best runners in
the middle west by winning the
seventy five yard dash at Illinois. Dale
was unable to take part In the Kansas
City meet but captured third In the
shot Dut at Illinois from a big field
of entries.
Nebraska will be represented by
one of the fastest relay teams in the
country this season. Captain Gibbs
will lead the Quartet with Stromer,
McDonald, McCarthy and several
others making strong bids for places
on the team. Coach Schultc has a
large number of promising candidates
out for the middle and longer distance
races. With good weather prevail
ing tryouts will be held every few
nights on the cinder track. The fresh
men class is turning out an array of
material that has not been equalled
at Nebraska for a number of years.
The freshmen are better represented
In the sprints than in any of the other
events. The coming inter-fraternity
meet and inter-class contests should
bring out a large number of men for
the various events.
