ord Time by Weir.
LOCKE EQUALS WORLD
SPEED FOR SO YARDS
Two world's records were broken
and another tied at the annual Kan
sas City Athletic Club meet held in
the Missouri City Saturday night
Osborne, Olympic high jump cham
pion, broke his own record when he
cleared the bar at 6 feet 6 3-8 inches
and Riley, also an Olympic man,
broke his own world's record in the
50-yard high hurdles. He was forced
to record time by Weir of Nebraska,
who finished a few inches behind the
winner. Locke the Husker sprint star,
placed himself on the honor roll by
running the 50-yardj dash in 5 1-5
seconds equalling the world's dash
record.
Although the Huskers made only a
fair showing in the meet as a whole
Coach Schulte was well satisfied.
Kansas and Missouri loomed up as
strong contenders in the coming Mis
souri Valley indoor meet and Okla
homa and the Kansas Aggies have
some men of promise in several of
the events. Ames is strong in the
distances again this season.
Locke Wins First Event.
"Gip" Locke won the first event of
the evening when he stepped away
from the other sprinters after a bad
start and won the event in record
time. Pitted against Locke in this
event was Farley of Missouri, who
defeated the great Jackson Scholz in
this event at Missouri University this
spring while the sprint champion was
visiting there. Wongwai o' Kansas
the sprint champion of t'..e Hawaiian
Islands, had to be content with third.
Ed Weir was following Riley of
the Illinois Athletic club by only a
few inches in the final heat of the
high hurdles, which resulted in a new
record. The great Keeble of Missouri
was decisively defeated by the Hus
ker hurdler and was forced to take
third. Riley, in speaking of the race,
said, "I bad to break a record to beat
Weir." In the 50-yard low hurdles
Weir was defeated by his own team
mate, Rhodes, when he made a poor
start. Keeble of Missouri was elimi
nated in the semi-finals of this event.
James Lewis ran a game race in
the 600-yard Shannon Douglas cup
race. After being boxed in for ais

MAKES HIGH SCORE
ON FIRST TARGETS
Rifle Team Tops Mark Set Last
Year, but Is Defeated
by Iowa.
The University rifle team com
pleted the first week of intercollegi
ate match shooting last Saturday with
a total team score of 3476 52
Doints more than was made in the
initial week of firing last year. The
score was 93 points too low, however,
to match the mark fired by Iowa Uni
versity, the first opponent from whom
returns were received. The other
two schools fired against were Dela
ware University, and Oregon Agri
cultural college.
Walter Lammli was high man on
the Nebraska team. His total score
was 365. He led in the sitting and
standing positions with 97 and 83
points in each respectively. Mark
rair was tne Dest iseorasKa snooier
in the prone position with 99 points
i t :l 1 - inn Tt 1
out of a possible 100. Capt D. P.
Roberts, with 95 points led in the
kneeling position.
Can Shoot Only Once,
The Nebraska increase of 52
points over the first week of firing
last year is especially significant in
view of the fact that the firing this
year is on registered targets instead
of progressive firing as was the case
last year. This means that the team
members can shoot only once official
ly in each position. Last year the
best score of the whole week of firing
was counted as the official mark.
"Nebraska could have the best rifle
team in the country, says Captain
Eggers, "if all the students who can
shoot tried for the team." "There
are enough fraternity men alone, as
revealed in the interfraternity shoot,
to make Nebraska's rifle team the
best in the country."
Wants Freshmen.
Freshmen who made good scores in
the required freshman shooting are
urged again by Captain Eggers to i
come to the gallery and practice.
They will be eligible for the corps
area matches and the Hearst trophy
match. The corps area match against
schools in the seventh corps area
must be finished by the first of
March.
The individual scores made last
week were:
W. Lammli 365
D. P. Roberts 364
R. F. Russell 357
R. M. Currier 355

START FIRING TODAY
Six Matches Are Scheduled for
This Week; Gallery Is
Open in Morning.
The University women's rifle team
schedule starts this week with six
matches against Vermont university,
Missouri, Montana, Cornell, Mich!
gan Agricultural college, and Wash
ington State university. The firing
this year will include all four posi
tions, prone, sitting, kneeling, and
standing. The ten highest scores of
the first fifteen women shooting will
be counted.
The shooting gallery has been re'
served for the women's team this
morning from 9 to 12 o'clock. All
firing must be done at this time.
All women in the University who
conform to the regular rules govern
ing women's athletics are eligible for
the rifle team. Points toward an N

only four matches out of twenty or
more on the schedule.

men have come up to the gallery to
do any shooting. At least fifteen
must fire every week to keep up with
the schedule. If enough interest is
not shown in the sport to have a com
plete team firing each week, the en
tire season's schedule will have to be
cancelled, according to Captain Eg-1
gers, director of marksmanship.
The remainder of the schedule in
cludes thirteen colleges and several
