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.

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. Courier.

Tho University of Nebraska has
mado no mistake in offering tho Chan
cellorship to Dr. E. 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.

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.
