NEB. ATHLETIC BOARD DECIDES TO HOLD MEET
Captain Rodkey Predicts His Team Will Win By Fair
Margin
The Kansas-Nebraska dual track meet, which is scheduled for Friday afternoon at Lincoln, will be held unless unexpected bad weather causes postponement according to word received by Manager W. O. Hamilton from the Nebraska athletic board last night.
Although the Kansas track meet has been considerably weakened by the withdrawal from school of some of the best men, Captain Fred Rodkey believes that Kansas has the Nebraska and the Missouri team meet next Friday by a fair margin. The captains assert that Kansas will defeat the Cornubians as badly as the Tigers did Kansas in the meet here last Saturday afternoon.
Nebraska's points will probably be counted in the dashes, weights, and hurdles, as the Cornhuskers are strong in these events. Overman, the Nebraska miler is also good in his race it is believed here that Sprowl will have little difficulty in winning first place in this event. The Cornhuskers are also fairly strong in the two mile race.
The hardies are probably the weakest places on the Jayhawker squad. No experienced hardier is out for these events since Casey and Seward withdrew from school. Rudolf Uhlrau and George Yockum were practicing their events since the Tiger team here and are showing up fairly well. Uhlrau will peeled considerable skin off his left knee going over the sticks yesterday afternoon but the injury was not severe enough to keep from continuing the practice. The entries in the games will likely be the same as in the Missouri Meet last Saturday.
Saturday.

The Cornhuskers called off the tennis match with the Jayhawker team for next Friday and Saturday at Columbia, yesterday afternoon. Captain Cowgill said he did not reason for cause the games off but could be believed that Nobraska did not have much of a tennis squad this year.
Manager W, O. Hamilton telegraphed to Illinois last night for a tennis match for Friday and Saturday. If a match is not secured with Illinois it is probable that the manager will try for a match with Oklahoma A. and M.
Coach McCarty's proteges lost a six inning practice game yesterday afternoon to an All-Star nine, composed of graduate K men, freshman players, and a few undergraduates, by a 1 to 2 score. Ernst Uhrlaub, a south paw, pitching for the All-Stars played an exceptionally good game and did not allow the Varsity sluggers a single hit.
Connie Poirier, the little but speedy Jayhawker twirler, pitched a good practice game yesterday allowing one hit and faming six of the All-Star players. He allowed two walks. Mutch made it two errors for the Varsity while McIlhenney the only error for the All-Stars.
The invitation high school meet scheduled to take place on McCook Field Saturday afternoon will be a mighty holly contested affair if the diligent practices and workouts of the Lawrence high school tracksters has any significance. Almost every afternoon the high school athletes work out on the McCook Field track in preparation for the meet.

INTEREST IS RENEWED IN WOMEN'S ATHLETICS
Baseball is Popular—First Indoor-Outdoor Game Tomorrow
Interest in women's sports is centered on baseball and tennis as present. The first interclass game of "indoor-outdoor" baseball will be between the freshmen and the sophomores, on the Women's Athletic grounds south of Robinson Gymnasium, at four-thirty o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The class tennis tournaments will take to tomorrow and last until some time Saturday. Manager Hamilton will give the women athletes the use of three or four of the McCook Field courts to use for the tournament.
The baseball games between the different classes are the first that have ever been held by the women of the University, according to Coach Rickey McGraw. The indoor baseball played out-of-doors," said Coach Pratt. "It is more or less of an experiment here, but I had great success with the game on my playgrounds at Minneapolis, Mim., and I also had a great interest in the game here."
Nine women play on each side, but there are two shortstops and no center fielder, because the fielders have very little to do. There is no such thing as stealing bases, so that two umpires are necessary—one for the left wing and one for the right. Bertha Mix and Miss Mary Bacon have been selected as umpires.
The games will be held under the management of the W. A. A. association and the management of each class will be under the supervision of a class representative. The class representatives are: Freshmen, Ruth Trant; sophomores, Carol Martin; seniors, Joyce Brown; and seniors, Annne Cunningham. It is not certain that the seniors will have to team but it is probable that they will, according to Coach Pratt. About thirty-five freshmen and about twenty-five sophomores are out to make the team for the first game.
Plans are being made at the University of Texas for a reserve officers' training camp to be established on the campus for the summer months.
