University Y. W. C.
Report From
"Foochow Association of the Honor
Roll" is the title of a report received
by the University Y. W. C. A. from
Mildred Hand of Shanghai, China.
Fukien Province was at the time of
writing the report the center of one
of the many flurries of welfare so
characteristic of the provinces on the
early days of the Republic of China.
The annual finance campaign, in
charge of Rosale Venable, general sec
retary for China, started off with a
typhoon that used up so much coal
on the steam launch that was taking
the secretary to Foochow that the
crew had to make up the coal dust
that remained in the bins into little
balls to enable the boat to carry them
the remainder of the way. Upon ar
riving, Miss Venable found that the
governor had issued bonds to the
amourt of $13,000,000 to pay me nor
thern soldiers who were holding the
city. Next day Miss Venable departed
after the foreign consul had urged
that all properties of the Y. W. C. A.
be removed to the safety zone with
out delay. "Even war has its hu
morous aspects," for finally the as
sociation as in a state of deficit.

Visiting Officers to Be Enter
tained by Major Erickson,
Captain Nix and Scab
bard and Blade.
Major Henry T. Bull of the United
States cavalry, on duty with the chief
of Cavalry, and Major R. W. King
man, of the United States infantry, on
duty with the chief of infantry, will
arrive in Lincoln Monday to inspect
tthe R. O. T. C. unit of the University
and report to the war department in
regard to conferring distinguished
rating. The officers are on a tour of
inspection, visiting, Texas, Arizona,
California. Oregon and Washington
and including fourteen schools, with
the final intention of deciding as to
the relative merits of the military de
partments of the schools visited.
Monday, from one to six, there will
be a general inspection. On Tuesday
morning, the officers will inspect the
classes which regularly meet at that
time.
Distinguished Rating
Distinguished rating is accorded on
the basis of faculty and student sup
port, equipment and facilities for the
work, and practical and theoretical
work of the corps. The work of the
unit in general must be above the
average. The announcement as to
ratings will be made about the first
of July.
There are only twenty-five honor
schools in the country, and they are
inspected annually to be sure that
each one keeps up the rating, fcu
souri is the one western school which
is now rated in this class. In 1921,
Minnesota was so honored.
Major Bull and Major Kingman,
will leave Wednesday morning for
Washington, D. C, where they will
report on this trip. Every year the
war department picks certain schools
to be inspected preparatory to the de
cision as to the conferring of the rat
ing. Nebraska has never before been
considered eligible.
Entertainment Planned
While the officers are in Lincoln,
they will be honor guests at several
functions. On Monday, Major Sidney
Erickson of the military department
of the University of Nebraska, will
entertain them at luncheon. Mrs.
Erickson will be the hostess at the

Tuesday for the officers, and on Tues
day evening, they will attend the din
ner of the Reserve Officers' associa
tion. Sunday afternoon, Mrs. R. W. Nix,
wife of Captain Nix of the Military
department, will give a tea in honor
of the military inspectors.
A. Receives
Workers in China
consisted of four foreign secretaries
"determined not to run." Upon in
struction from the consuls they with
all other foreigners fled to the Island
connected with Foochow by "The
Bridge of Ten Thousand Ages" and
then to the mobilization point on
Natsi Island where they were forced
to join the "refugees". Here in the
Danic-stricken mob the four secre
taries held classes in hand sewing and
hygiene talks. Then they worked in
the Red Cross rooms making supplies
for the emergency hospital opened for
soldiers wounded in battle. Much
bankruptcy has made Foochow a city
economically unstable.
The first public playground in China
is yet to be established, but interpre
tative dancing is a new feature in the
curriculum of the Normal Training
School for Hygiene and Physical Edu
cation just added this year. Huo Tzo
who h?d just returned from two years
of study at Mill3 College and the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, is teaching this
course. One of the special events of
this new department was the visit of
Pavowa who seemed much pleased
with the class and who graciously
gave two boxes so that the seniors
might see her dance.

Thirty-seven Squads Will Com

Track and Field
Meet.
ALL TEAMS ARE GROUPED
Best Athletes in State Will Try
tor Honors rreiiminaries
Show Very Good
Records.
Thirty-seven high schools will com
pete in the twenty-first annual state
high school track and field meet, which
will be held at the state fair grounds
tomorrow afternoon, starting at 1:30
o'clock. The teams have been divided
into three groups, according the en
rollment of the schools. All the teams
entered in the state meet Saturday
have shown up well in the various
meets which have been held thruout
the state the past three weeks, and
the competition should be intensely
keen Saturday.
Grouping of Schools
Nine schools have been classified in
the first group, sixteen in the second
and twelve in the third group. Ar
lington with nine entrants, Gallaway
with twenty, Clay Center with sixteen,
Dewitt with eleven, Dodge with five,
Edgar with six, and Valparaiso with
ten athletes have been listed in the
first class.
Alliance entering the meet with two
athletes, Aurora with eight, Broken
Bow with seven, Cambridge with ten
Crete twelve, Geneva eight, Have-
lock two, Hebron six, McCook ten, Os
ceola, four, Cozad one, Harvard eight,
and Wilber ten, will compete for
honors in the second division.
Beatrice with thirteen names on the
entry list, Fremont with twenty-one,
Grand Island seventeen, Hastings sev
enteen, Lincoln Fourteen, Norfolk
five, Omaha Central eighteen, Univer
sity Place twelve, North Platte four,
Scottsbluff three, Superio'r one, and
Columbus eighteen, have been listed
in group one.
In Group Three, a close contest for
first laurels is expected between Oma
ha Central, which won the state title
last year, Lincoln, which was victo
rious at the Hastings meet last year,
and Fremont, Columbus, and Grand
Island. The Omaha team won the
Fremont meet several weeks ago,
competing against Lincoln, Fremont,
and other schools, and so the big city
lads are favored to cop the state track
championship again this year.
An even closer fight than the Group
Three contest is promised in Group
Two. Broken Bow, which won the
Custer County meet last week, is the
favorite. Gothenburg, however, can
be counted on to put up a hard fight
for first honors, as the state team pen
tathlon competition went to the Goth
enburg athletes. Tecumseh, with
Mandery. sprinter, and McKenzie,
hurdler, as its star performers, is
planning to capture first place. Wilber,
which won Group Two championship
last year, intends to repeat its title
winning feat again this year.
Callaway, which finished second in
the Custer County meet at Broken
Bow a few days ago, is expected to
have everything its own way in the
first group. The Callaway school has
a strong, well-balanced team which
will score heavily in almost all events.
Twelve of the Callaway athletes have
won numerals in the state high nu
meral competition conducted by Coach
.schulte.
Fast Races
Mandery of Tecumseh and Evans
of Fremont are expected to fight it
out for first place in. the 100-yard
dash. Both of these athletes have
stepped the century in 10 1-5 seconds
in preliminary meets this year. The
same pair of sprinters are also fav
ored in the two-twenty, though in-
both the hundred and 220 there is a
possibility of one of the .other high
school speed artists stepping in and
copping the honors.
Hubert Franck of Tobias, who holds
the state record of 4:37,1 in the ml
run, is expected to win the mile rurv
Evans of Hastings and Moore of Uni
versity Place have run the mile under
four minutes and fifty seconds, this
year and may push Franck for first
honors. Lawson of Omaha Central,
Wilson of McCook, and Stahl of Cam
bridge have run the mile under five
minutes, and should come in for a
share of the laurels.
