UK --. .En The Nebraskan- Hesperian o SPRING TRACK WORK. Epr tho past few months the track men havo boon keeping silent but nev ertheless thoy have been hard at work under tho direction of "VV. B. Alien, who has given tno tuom a good share of his time, training thorn Individually' for their ovonts. Great Improvement In form has been mado already and time will show that the preparations "havo been thorough. Last year, tho team was recognized as ono of tho best In tho west as it defeated Kansas and tied Iowa on tho lattor's grounds. Nebraska records liavo been excellent considering oppor tunities and tho Bmall encouragement given to this branch of athletics. Capt. R. D. Andreson says that tho team, notwithstanding tho loss of Ben-1 edict and Plllsbury will bo as strong oh tho whole as last years team. Moro men are in training and several now men havo como In who are expected to do somo good work during tho season. In the 100 and 220 yard dashes tho Andreson brothers will undoubtedly tako first and second place but there are several others whoso time will bo good whllo six men will bo able to run tho 100 yard race In less than loven seconds. Heartt, Mantz, Minor, May, and C. L. Hewitt have tho best chances for places. In tho quarter mile race there will iiot be many entries as this Is consid ered tho hardest race, requiring at is does, both speed and endurance. R. D. Andreson, Mantz, May, and McComb -will enter. The record in tho half-mile bids fair to be broken. Mantz and I. P. Hewitt aro making this their special event and havo already run it close to tho uni versity record of 2 minutes 10 seconds. Nebraska has heretofore been weak on the mile but this year several men are showing up well in tho event. Tukey, well known in foot ball circles began to train early in tho season and will undoubtedly get a place besides making good time. Case, Mantz, Root, Hoard, and Mundorf will enter furn ishing plenty of competition. In tho hammer-throw and Bhot-put tho university has somo good represen tatives. Fred Brow who holds the records In both of these is in training. Wallace is practicing hard and will bo a close second. Jewett and Pearso are also showing up well. Tho former however, dislocated his left elbow a fow days ago and will undoubtedly be prevented from entering field day. In tho pole-vault there aro two men who stand best chance of winning but they furnish plenty of competition for each other. Both Kellogg and May have made 9 feet 3 inches this year and there will bo a battle royal for first when the contest occurs. W. B. Andreson is training for both the running broad and- running high jump and will probably win both as he has had tho bonefit of three years training. His record in tho former is 20 feet and 3 Inches and In tho latter 5 feet 7 inches. Only four men aro preparing for tho two hurdle races but thoy aro capable enough to ensuro good tlmo In each event. Cowgill who formerly ran tho long races is concentrating his atten tion to tho 220 yard hurdles. His form is perfect and this gives him an ad vantage. Waterman, however, is an all-around athlete and will give tho former a good race Pepodn holds tho record on this ovont and is training hard. His chauces are good, Meant is putting in his best work on the high hurdles. Watorman also enters this race. , Not all arrangements are complete but Manager Hewitt expects to meet Minnesota university at Omaha on May 20 and then go on to Monmouth, Illlonls, where ho has a meet on May 28. Tho team will go from thero to Chicago to compete lrl the . I, A. A, A. io bo held on Juno 2. CHANCELLOR E. BENJAMIN . ANDREWS. Tho only opposition In Nebraska to Dr. Andrews, has been withdrawn since his acceptance of tho regents, poss invitation. When ho arrives he will find an open field. Tho faculty, the bedy of studonts, and tho citizens o. tho state will receive him without prejudice and with fervent, sincere hopes for his completo success. How long wo can maintain our non-critical hospltablo expression and determina tion is doubtful. Chancellors have found us an obstlnato and a perverse peoplo. Not ono, in departing has been willing to sign his namo to a charter recommending tho State uni versity for compatibility. Tho university, justly or not, has ac quired the reputation of being always ready for a fight. Doctor Andrews also has a reputation to sustain. It may bo wo need a heavy hand and a chancellor who will pick up any gauge thrown to him. Like the Dig boy In tho district school or the border ruffian, both cow ardly types, we may need an encounter of tho sort wo have Invited.

Benjamin Andrews formerly president of Brown university for he Is not only well equipped by scholarship and experience, but Is ono of the most enthusiastic educators in this country. Such an official does a college good, and wo trust that his ad ministration there will be crowned with success. Connecticut Farmer. Reorganization S ale & & Wo note in tho Nebraskan-Hesperian that Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews has ac cepted the chancellorship of tho Uni versity of Nebraska. Tho selection Is an admirablo one and tho .University of Nebraska Is to bo congratulated upon the securing of a president who will bo both an honor and a benefit to hor.- As- president 1-oL-Brown. .untyer,-..1 Bity and as Superintendent of tho Chi cago public schools Dr. Andrews has achieved success. Ho will bring to hlB new position executive and schol arly talents of tho highest order. We do not think that Nobraska has obtained a "Prexlo" that is as nice as Iowa's, but, after taking such a chan cellor as Dr. Georgo E. MacLean from that university, wo rejoice that Ne braska has obtained a man who is worthy to bo his successor. Dr. Andrews visited Iowa City somo two years ago and mado many friends during his short stay. It is hoped that his new position will onabio him to visit tho University of Iowa often.
