fndoor meet It was a case of too
much strength and a well balanced
cinder squad that experienced lit
tle difficulty In piling up a huge
margin of victory.
Nebraska athletes scored clean
sweeps In both hurdle races, the
sixty yard dash and the quarter
mile dash and garnered at least
two places In every event. Miller

Hull Snake in llessey
Loses !osc in Battle
With Small White Hat
A bull snake at llessey Hall lost
half of Its nose the other day dur
ing a fight with a small white rat
which had been given to it for food.
The snake, being semi-torpid, has
not eaten anything since last Octo
ber. Its activity seemed to indicate
hunger one day last week, but it
did not prove agile or strong
enough to kill Its prey or even to
defend Itself successfully. Besides
mutilating the snake's nose, the
rat also bit its tall and back, leav
ing deep gashes.
it was believed that such reptiles
would not eat anything at all dur
ing the season of dormancy. It Is
to be moved from the cool room lo

find whether or not lis activity will
Increase or whether It will take any
food.
