Nebraska Track Squad Would
Have Rated Third if Team
Score Had Been Kept.
MICHIGAN WAS HIGH
GEORGETOWN SECOND
Although the results of the Illinois
relays have been given, the exact
comparison of the Husker team is
more or less unknown. Of the teams
present at the meet, which included
the picked athletes of the middle
west, the Huskers with a team of
eight men, would have placed third,
if team scoring ha 1 been kept.
Michigan carried off the high hon
ors of the meet with four firsts and
three second places. Georgetown
University coming from a southern
conference took four first places,
two seconds and ono third, which
would put them in second place. Then
Nebraska, by scoring two first posi
tions, a second, a third, and two
fourth place points, would have been
granted third place. Wisconsin fol
lows in the number of points with a
first place, two thirds and a few oth
er scattered points.
In the preliminaries and finals of
the 75-yard dash, Locke tied the re
lay record each time he ran, while in
the three heats of the 300-yard dash
he tied the relay record in the semi
finals and then again in the final
heat.
Weir came through in great form
in both of his hurdle races. In the
75-yard highs, the winner led the
field by about a yard, while behind
him, in an almost tie race ran the
next four runners, Weir getting third
place. The same was the case with
the low hurdles in which the Ail
American football star placed 'fourth.
The medley race presented a
picked field of ten teams, and the
Ames team set a new carnival record.
Beckord running the half-mile for
the Husker team spent himself by
coming to the front from sixth posi-j
tion on the start, and was not able
-to continue the pace he was setting.
Captain Crites came up one position
after Dailey ran a pretty race, hold
ing his own, against a picked field
of 440-yard men. Lewis, running
anchor, came up front eighth posi
tion and placed fourth in the final
mile of the event.
Rhodes performed in great style
by placing second to the Olympic
star, Norton, in the all-around cham
pionship. The total number of points
made by Rhodes was better than the
former record made by Osborne,
which was broken by Norton. Win
ners of first and second places in the
all-around championship were given
a gold watch, as well as the winners
of first in the other events on the
program.
Big Ten Universities Differ
Greatly in Letter Requirements
Western Conference universities
differ greatly as to letter eligibility
requirements and as to distinctions
between major and minor letters, nc
carding to recent figures compiled
by the Indiana University athletic
department That football is the
important soprt is shown by five of
the Big Ten schools giving a distinc
tive award to varsity football men
which is not given to athletes in any
other major or minor sport
The regulation "C" may be made
at the University of Chicago in any
branch of athletics if the athlete is
deemed worthy by the board of phy
sical culture and athletics and rec
ommended by the athletic director,
but all other Big Ten schools make a
distinction between major and minor
sport At Wisconsin, the color of the
sweater or trimmings designates the
branch of athletics in which the
award is made.
The University of Michigan is the
only school which has a graduated
scale of letter sizes to distinguish be
tween each major sport At Iowa and
Northwestern, as at Chicago, a major
! letter may be won in one of the so-
called "minor" sports but Iowa also
offers a minor letter for which the
requirements are not so strict Michi
gan makes no provision for require
ments as to varsity men eligible for
letters in wrestling or swimming.
A summary of these statistics
shows that six of the Big Ten schools
distinguish between major and minor
sport awards; five give distinctive
awards, for each major sport, and
four give identifying minor awards.
OWEN FAVORS GREAT
PLAINS CONFERENCE
Oklahoma Coach Thinks It
Would Bring About More
Intersectional Rivalry.
NORMAN, Okla., February 28.
Ben G. Owen, head football, coacli
and director of athletics has declared
himself in favor of, the proposed
Great Plains athletic conference sug
gested by Dr. John G. Outland, phy
sician of Kansas City.
Mr. Owen said that the conference,
wheih would combine the universities
of North and South Dakota, Wyom
ing, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, and Ar
kansas, would bring about greater
intersectional rivalry in athletics.
The Oklahoma mentor favors the
idea of having a conference com
posed only of state universities. He
also said, "I favor intersectional
games played in season, but not out
of season, and this plan would al
low the members to engage in more
out-of-the-conference contests."

STANFORD INVITED
TO DRAKE RELAYS
California University Has
Good Distance Men;' No
Action Yet Taken.
PALO ALTO, Calif., February 28.
Leland Stanford University has re
ceived a formal invitation to send a
track team to the Drake Relays in
May. Stanford believes itself cap
able of lowering a few Drake marks,
but no definite action has been taken
yet
Last season on the Stanford oval,
Richardson, Swayne, Smith, and Mc
intosh came within a few seconds of
breaking the Drake record in th
two-mile relay, running against time
with no competition. It is believed
the mark could be lowered in a reg
ular relay.
In the four-mile relay Stanford
has exceptionally good material.
Four good milers who run the dis
tance in an average of four minutes
and thirty seconds are on the Card
inal squad.

Valley Sports
The defeat of Missouri by Kansas
in the annual indoor dual meet this
season points out more than the com
parative strength of the two schools.
It gives to Kansas some big chances
at the Missouri Valley meet which is
scheduled in three weeks.
For the first time in years, the
Jayhawker school have some strong
distance runners in Pratt and Grady,
Last fall these men showed good form
in the cross-country races, but the
early season "Victories of the men
promises some speed at the Valley
meet
Though Pratt set a new meet rec
ord in the mile, with a time of 4 min
utes 27 seconds, his team mate
should get the honorable mention for
his iron man act of winning the 2-
mile race in exceptional time after he
had placed second to his own team
mate in the mile. Grady ran a won
derful race in the 2-mile against the
Misouri Valley champion Poage, of
Missouri, and won by his superior
sprint
The other first places won by Kan
sas were expected. Tom Poor was
supreme in the high jump, just as he
has been for the past two years of
Valley competition. His team mate
and captain, Graham, tied for first
with a leap of six feet even. Gra
ham is one of these all-around men,
and so it was his duty to annex two
second places in the hurdle races.
The 440-yard men from Kansas are
performing up to the usual form. The
Jayhawkers were always considered
class in the mile relay and the 440-
yard dash events. Last season it was
captain Firebaugh, and this season it
is Rooney, who stepped the quarter

You can get all five degrees in the
Classic Duofold Pens
oAndAll Points Guaranteed for 25- Years' Wear
FOR what kind of writing do you use a pen? How do you hold it?
And what style of writing is entirely natural to your hand?
Close figure work or fine memoranda, for example, call for a fine 4
or an extra-fine point. But the medium point, the broad, or the stub
these give one's penmanship a personality and character that
make mighty valuable impressions in a letter or a signature.
These are reasons why, in the classic Duofold Pens, Geo. S.
Parker gives the world the whole five degrees of points that the
five degrees of writing require.
Points you ran lend without a tremor, for no style of writing can
distort them. Points that are tipped with super-smooth Iridium, for
which we pay a premium of 200". Points that we guarantee, if
not mistreated, for 25 years' WEAR.
And every point set in a shapely, hand-balanced barrel that feels
so inspiring you hate to lay it down.
Any good pen counter will sell you this beauty on 30 days' ap
proval Flashing black or black-tipped lacquer-red, the color that's
handsomer than gold and makes this a hard pen to mislay.
