EVERETT CRITES.
In former years it was necessary
for the visiting teams to help pay
for the staging of the meet as well as
for their own trip costs. Because of
the success of the meet in a financial
way, as well as in other ways, the
other schools of the Valley seem will
ing to let Nebraska have the meet
next year. However this cannot be
decided until the annual meeting of
the coaches in December.
Crites, captain-elect of the team,
has been a consistent point winner
for Nebraska this season. He won
the 4-10-yard dash at the Missouri
Valley indoor meet and won first in
every duel meet of the season.
Handicapped by unfortunate circum
stances in the 440-yard race at the
outdoor Valley meet he was forced
to take third.

Medic college, has run his last race
for Nebraska.
In the field events the loss of

jumper, are the other Husker letter

Following is a statement issued by
the Welch Pogue past-president of
the Innocents:
"It is fitting and proper in jus
tice to the students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska and to the active
Innocent society that the eligibility
for membership in the society be
made plain to all. In order to be a
candidate one must be within one
year of graduation from this Uni
versity. No one is considered when
there is a serious doubt, either from
scholastic or. other reasons, as to
the likelihood of his graduating the
following year. The student must
have attended this University during
his sophomore and junior years.
'The Innocent society aims to
base the selection of their successors
on- the following: Interest in the
University of Nebraska as shown by
their participation in student activ
ities; representation, insofar as pos
sible, from the various colleges; pos
sibilities of service as shown by will-
iingness to work; and force of char
acter, personality and leadership.
"The two advisory members
chosen from the faculty to assist the
society during the coming year are
Coach Schulte and Doctor Condra.
Honorary members are not chosen
unless there are outstanding men
available. This year two honorary
members are to be selected one
from the faculty on the basis of his
very active interest in the University
and in student affairs, and one who
is a graduate of this University and
who has been and is putting forth
every effort for the best interests
of the students and the University."

FOUR MEN GO TO
OLYMPICTRY00TS
Gardner, Layton, Locke, Turn
er Will Compete at Boston
Meet June 14
NEBRASKA TOWNS
SUBSCRIBE FUNDS
All organizations who have
pledged money for payment of the
banners used at the Missouri Valley
track meet should turn in the money
for them at once. The invoices ar
in the Student Activities office and
if the money for them is paid soon
it will be appreciated.
Four members of the Missouri Val
ley championship track team will rep
resent the Cornhusker school at the
final Olympic tryouts at Boston Sat
urday, June 14. The men making
the trip will be sent on money ob
tained by subscription from four
Nebraska towns. In case any of these
men make the Olympic team, their
expenses will be refunded.
Captain Maurice Gardner is being
sent by the town of Fremont. Gard-
er is holder of the Missouri Valley
indoor record in the 880-yard run and
has covered the half mile in 1 minute
56 2-5 seconds. He also holds the
Nebraska record. Considering his
consistent running ability, "Mud" is
going to furnish some keen competi
tion in the 800-meter run at Boston.
Turner Jumper
Howard Turner, star high jumper,
will be Nebraska's only candidate in
the field events. "Hobb" clears the
bar consistently at over 6 feet and
has jumped 6 feet 3 inches this
spring. On three different occasions
he has tried the renowned Tom Poor
of Kansas for first place. Omaha
paying the trip expenses of Turner.
Marvin Layton' is the Lincoln addi
tion to the list though "Red" calls
Gothenburg his home. Layton has
been Nebraska's Ftar 440-yard dash
man and hurdler for the past three
years. At the Drake relays this
spring Layton captured a first place
in the 400-meter hurdles with com
parative ease. At the Olympic try
outs at Lawrence, Kas., last week he
won the race handily over Fire
baugh, Kansas star.
The other probable member of the
team to go to Boston is Roland Locke
from North Platte. Locke has just
completed his first season of Varsity
track. He has been running anchor
on the Husker 440-yard and 880-yard
relay teams that won at tlie Kansas
ta Dt-oIo rolnvs. He placed third i
the special 100-yard dash at Drake
and second at Kansas, in naaiuv.
Gipp" won first in the 100 yard an
220-yard dashes at the Missouri a
ley conference meet. Locke, if
decides to make the trip, will run the
100-meter and 200-meter dashes.
