WEIGHT AND DEERING WIN
Husker Hurdler Takes High in Time
of 15 2-5 Seconds Deermg
Takes 100 in 10 Flat.
The showing made by the Hunker
track lea'" in tlie Drake Relay
Carnival last Saturday at Des Moines
proved something of a surprise. Some
conception of the calibre of the work
done by the Cornhusker athletes may
be pained from the following points:
Of the six events open to univer
gities of the country Nebraska took
rart in five and placed in four of
them. In addition to taking first place
in the 100-yard dash and 120-yard
high hurdles the two special events
on the program, the Cornhusker half
mile and mile relay teams placed
fourth in those events.
Deering, the star Husker sprinter
von the century dash from a field of
seventeen starters. Deering captured
his preliminary nd then took the
finals in the remarkable time of 10
seconds flat. Deering defeated such
men as Paula of Grinnell, Wilson of
Iowa, and Kelley of Carnegie Tech.
In covering the distance in the time
he did, Deerlng's name will now go
on record as a co-holder of the 100
yard dash.
Wright, by winning the 120-yard
high hurdle race at Des Moines de
feated some of the greatest hurdlers
in the country. Last year Wright won
the Missouri Valley and Western Con
ference high hurdle races. In winning
the finals Wright defeated thirteen of
the best hurdlers in the Valley and
Western Conference.
The "sprint" relay team composed
of Stromer, Wright, Deering and Ed
Smith, ran the half mile relay in 1
minute and 30 2-5 seconds. This
record equals the present Varsity
record. This quartet won fourth place
from a field of eleven entrants.
Wright, and Smith covering the dis
tance in the fastest time.
The mile relay team consisting of
John Gibbs, McCarthy, Stromer and
McDonald equalled the present Var
sity record of 3 minutes 21 2-5 sec
onds. The mile team took fourth
place. Stromer stepped the quarter
in SO 2 5 seconds for the best time
with McCarthy only a second slower.
The four mile relay team with only
nen It tter man placed sixth in a field
of nine starters. Harry Kretzler ran
his mile in 4 minutes and 40 seconds
with Dorn and Meyers covering the
distance in 4 minutes and 45 seconds.
Allen as anchor man ran the mile in
4 minutes and 39 seconds.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE
GIVEN SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Willis Gross, C. S. B., Tells of
Unity of Religion and
Medicine.
The annual lecture of the Christian
Science Society of the University was
delivered at the Lincoln church,
Twelfth and L streets, Sunday after
noon by Willis V. Gross, C. S. B a
member of the board of lectureship
of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scienllst, in Boston,
Mass.
"Christian Science: The Unity of
Religion and Medicine," was the sub
ject of the lecture.
Mr. Gross spoke in part as follows:
Christian Science has enlarged the
borders of Christian activity. It has
restored the teaching and practice of
primitive Christianity, which included
the healing of sickness as well as the
overcoming of sin. The Christ-method
of healing was the only one recog
nized in the early Christian church as
long as it was considered an essenti
part of religious teaching and prac
tiee. In this age Christian Science
is
demonstrating that spiritual under

as the nvrals of men.
Because one is neither an invalid
nor a hardened sinner, it does not fol
low that he has no need of Christiar
Science. The fundamental teachings
of this Science touch at some point
every problem of man's experience
and so it has a rightful place in every
field of honest endeavor. Whatever

man was created in the image and
