Athletes Ready for Big Aggie Meet on McCook Friday—Hamilton Names Officials
The Varsity track team took a long hard workout yesterday afternoon on McCook field in preparation for the meet with the Kansas Aggies Friday. The team as a whole showed form yesterday which has not been equalled this year. The Jayhawkers are confident they will romp home with the big end of the meet.
Manager Hamilton discovered a find yesterday who should add five points to the Kansas score in Amos Johnson, a senior engineer, who on the first day he was ever out for track work, cleared the bar in the high jump with an easy leap of 5 feet, 6 inches. He should easily develop into a 5 ft. 10 in. or 6 ft. jumper before the year is over. Dan Hazen can now take the broad jump for the Varsity.
120 yard hurdles—Hazen, Perry,
Sproull, Cissna.
Another event which brought cheer to the heart of Manager Hamilton, was the showing of Captain Patterson in the half-mile. Yester-day night, and smiled his old mark of 2:00 to pieces with a run of 2:00 faint.

To the winning team a banner will be awarded for permanent possession, and a large silver loving cup which will pass on to the team that wins next year unless the same team wins two consecutive years, when the cup becomes permanent property.
The judges will be Walter Griffin, Asher Hobson, and Frank Carson. Heretofore faculty members have been employed.
Burlington has the affirmative and Eldorado the negative, 3 men on each team. Last year Burlington worked up to the final debate and he was by Ashland. Eldorado has a record of twelve successive victories.

Ever
SWATHE HILL IN BUNTING
Clark to Climb Standtower—Mechanicals to Show Off in Gym—Weede Going Without Sleep
The plan of decoration is this. From the Museum to the Library will reach a cable. Eight flags will adorn this. From the Museum and Library each will extend cables both sides of the road to the door of Fraser hall strung with flags. Cross wires will also be decorated. In addition to this, bases for textile ties fast wide will adorn the face of every building on the campus, telling the visitor what resties within.
Thirty-seven flags, eight-by-ten in size, arrived yesterday to decorate the campus for the Exposition. Weedie refused to divulge the secret of where they came from because the owners of the star spangled muslin so stipulated before lending, they returned every picnic and celebration committee in the state would rath for the flags.
The standwider of the Lawrence water company will be enriched at the top with a row of red and blue parasols used at the football games, Russel Clark is to risk his medulla oblongus vision will be made to prevent the sunshine deflectors from turning worse side in out case of wind.
Unless all signs fail the Exhibition will make the St. Louis World's Fair look like a prune in a glass of milk in comparison.
Orlin E. Weede has not slept for a week.
Plans for the Mechanical's exhibition have been completed. Even parts of the various machines were made in the Engineering laboratory.
A stationary engine has been designed and made by the students of that department. The engine will produce power to run the machines and lights of the various schools that will show in the Gym. A system of indicator cards will show the speed of the engine.
A model manufacturing plant planned to the smallest detail will be fitted and in running order. The larger manufactories will be advanced.
An exhibit that will occasion a surprise is the writing machine. It will write anything by the simple turning of a crank. Souvenirs of the work of this remarkable instrument will be given to each visitor.
Among the more technical parts of the display will be two drawings which show the evolution in the design of the gas engine and steam turbine.
Technical reports concerning new methods in engineering will be open 'or inspection. One report on reinforced concrete smokestacks is sure to attract attention.
