BIG RESULTS LOOKED FOR Nebraska and Kansas Have Had Good Training; Weather and Some Extraordinary Records Are Expected. ny JAMES E. LAWRENCE. LINCOLN, Neb., May 3.-(Speclal)- The coming week In Cornhusker athletics will be by far the busiest of the year Nebraska and Kansas settling a score of athletio differences on the track ard on the diamond, and Crelghton university mixing with the Huskers In a tennU tournament the first between these two schools. The ' Kansas me'et and the ball name 'between the two old-time ' rivals are arousing mos,'t'. Interenf ot the season, of spring 'atfil'etfcsl ' Kan sua comes to Lincoln well .fortified-to -wipe out the humiliation, off -.defeats .In 'foot ball and basket ball "with ' trak 'and .base ' ball teams which' will ' test the ' Cornhuskers' mettle. ' ' ( ' t',' ' ' , .Both' sohbols have had Ideal weather' during' the' last week in which to roltml Inio shape, "and the CornhuSlker squall Is 50 per cent better than when It loit to Ames last Saturday.. The ' Cornhuskers also gatried by the defeat by having k lot of the conceit knocked out of them, and the meet next Saturday should ' be' pro ductive of' records, both Tn track nnd field events. Three Veteran Stars.' In direct contrast to the Husker track squad, which boosts of but two veterans, And not a single man with over a year's experience, the Jayhawkers will present a well seasoned bunch of athletes. Kansas Is particularly Impressed with the show ing of three-of Its veterans, however Captain Patterson, Edwards and Hazen, and on the strength of their perforrhsnres Is already Ikying claims to the champion ship of the Missouri Valley. At Ne braska, the claim Is regarded aa laugh able tn the face 'of the sterling bunch of athletes which .the University of Missouri has. The Jayhawkers were able to de feat the Tigers In an Indoor meet In the winter, but Missouri was caught unex pectedly and Nebraska authorities Insist that the showing was not Missouri's best. Nevertheless, Kansas has a squad which well rrilght Inspire fear In the breasts of any team, 'and If the Corn huskers win next Saturday, It la conceded It' will be by .a close score. Captain Patterson, who runs the half and the mile, Is a showy athlete. At the Drake rolay meet he clipped the half mile run down to 2:01, and under more favorable conditions Reed thinks he can negotiate It In 2:CO flat This Is con siderably faster than any Nebraska mar has gone. His record for the mile Is 4:80, which Is also better than the Nebraska mark. It Is conceded In the distance runs that Nebraska has not much of a chance. Patterson's running mate is Edwards. who does anything from the quarter mile dash up to the two-mile run. His record In the quarter Is 81 seconds flat a full 8 seconds faster than the Cornhuskers have run It this season. He turns the two-mile In 10 minutes, close to the Corn husker record. In the hurdles and the high Jump Ha zen'a record Is as Impressive as the other two Kansas stars. He does the high hurdles in 15 seconds; the low hur dles In 2M4 and the high Jump, 6 feet. The Kansas sprinter does the 100-yard dash In 10H seconds and his record for the 220 Is no better. In the sprints and field events Nebraska should easily have the edge. llase tlnll Team Strong;. Both Kansas and Nebraska are strong In base ball. The Jayhawkers have scored victories over the Kansas ' Aggies, the Tigers and all of their other minor rivals, but split even on the series with the Ag gies. Nebraska has a similar record. Later In the season the Cornhuskers will play the Jayhawker team on the Kansas field. ' A week from Saturday the Cornhuskers' track team goes to Minnesota for the annual dual meet The Qophers are re puted to be weak this year and Missouri had no difficulty In easily winning from Minnesota. Beginning the 18th of the month, the Cornhusker bass ball team will leave on an eastsrn trip of a week. The Cornhuskers will play mostly In Iowa meeting Ames, the University of Iowa and Grlnnell, Stlcbm's toot ball squad In spring prac- tCoaU&u4 ea Pas Twv) Bee SINGLE CHANCE'S TEAMLOSES AGAIN Connie Mack's Braves Take Long End of a Loose Game.

Pi Rourke and his band of ball players cami home from St., Joseph last night prepared t6 open a 1 three-game series hero this afternoon with -tho Joslr s. The gams will be.called at 3 olclock, Many complaints have been made about the Omaha .team while, on. Ita first tr)p, but these complaints are; uncalled for nt this tlme.t True, the Omaha team did not cover .Itself with glory, . but cornpara. tlvely the tssm has been going as good as any other In the league, with the pos sible exception of Denver, and that team has nothing on any of the other seven aa ypt. Take, for-Instance, the Denver and Lin coln teams. What have they done? Noth ing; to brag .about Both teams have been Playing Wichita and Topeka slnco the season opened. Jt ls generally conceded that the two Kansas towns-.are about the weakest, In. the league, both, in fielding and Ip pltchlnif. Denver made a clean sweep pf almost jevery game It playe.d with these two fceams. .The same thing can be, said about the Antelopes, Thi only real series these two teams have pulled off Is the one between themselves at Lincoln. Denver slipped IjWo over on the Antelopes aid both these games were close. Lincoln might have wpn the second game had' not rln stopped the contest in the. sixth inning with the score 5 to 4 In' Denyer'a fs.vpr. Mfflu Htrnnnr .Teams. Now. take, the qther teams. Omaha hat met the stlffest. clubs n the league. Ha have Des Moines, Sioux City and St Joseph. The latter team has made the best showing to date. The rail race thus far has' been between these four teams and the present percentage table will showed what the result has been with all the clubs bunched up. Walt until Denver meets Bloqx City, Des Moines, Omaha and St Joseph and one will b able to get a look at the real sltua tlpn In the 'Western league. Here are the teams both Lincoln and Denver will have to beat before they can do any crowing and do It with a perfect right by virtue of conquest Eiiunl to Any. Omaha's team, taken man for man. Is equal to any In the Western league, and )n many respects has it on the others. The only weak spot-truly weak-ls' the pitching staff and practice will Improve this. No one denies the fact that Hicks, Rqblnson and two or three others are reat live tossers who can deliver the gpods. Starting with Kane at first base. Is there any better In the league? He can clout the ball when the clouts oount. He can lay It down or stretch It out and at first can field his position without fault. At second Bill Schlpke has no peer this season. His fielding Is sensational, to say the least, and he Is certainly "ham mering the ball, anibb Is 'a new man and at that is lining up with the .others. Since he went on the road he has not. made an error and is hlttlnar thn hall with greater regularity than some other tnird saoKers in the league. Eddie Justice Is both good at his posi tion and a good batter. True he doesiv'' his aa consistently as others, but man -tithe game. he haa put on Ice when a hit was .needed, folB Haa Good Record. In left field Coyle has no peer. His rec ord Is well known and he is not the nun that many pitchers want to face whr hits are needed, Thomason Is the best csnttr fielder in the league without a
