Nebraska to Hold Meet for Valley in Track Events
Keen Competition Expected as Winners Will Go East to Try for Place in Olympics
Lincoln, Neb., April 18—The University of Nehaska will be host to all Missouri Valley Conference athletes on May 24 when the Sixteenth Annual Missouri Valley Track and Field Meet will be held in Lincoln.
Hurdles to be Close Race Nebraska and Nebraska are particularly strong this year in all events, and Nebraska will have strong teams in every event. Capt. Maurice Gardner, fleet half-milker of the Cornhunkers, will be seen in action again this year. Gardner copped first place in the 800 yard run at Ames last year in the valley meet. He will be a strong contender for a position on the United States Olympic team.
The greatest assemble of athletes ever gathered together for track and field competition in the valley are expected to take part *this* big classic. Competition in this year's meet will be much keener than was exhibited in the valleys, championships last year at Ames.
Coach Bob Simpson of Missouri is grooming his athletes for the championship this year. He has won four titles and two Tiger tower harder of the Tiger squad. With such stars as Weir of Nebraska Blanchard of Washington, and Taylor of Grinnell competing for first place in the All-Star game, he proves a thriller for everyone.
Missouri Expects to Win
Up until this time there has been little if any competition between any of the teams on the dinks and is hard to determine his strongest contender for championship honors. Missouri copied first place in the valley indoor championship at Kansas City this spring and champion expects his men carry home championships in the out door championships.
The 1924 Missouri Valley Meet is certain to be the greatest meet staged west of the Missouri this year. The winners of honors in this meet will be allowed to compete for places on the Olympic team at Bovine Stadium, or will be allowed in the valley will undoubtedly have one or two or possibly more representatives on the Olympic team and this will probably be the last chance to see these men in action before the final tryouts for the Olympic squad.
Expect Record Crowd
of the greatest crowds in the history of the University is expected to fill Memorial stadium on May 24 to witness these contests. Coach Moeen Jamaicani will planing a number of feature events between outside competitions for the valley meet.
The University of Nebraska has unusually hard schedule this week. The Kansas Relays are booked for next Saturday and the Drake Classic on Monday, which the Dual meets with the University of Kansas at Lawrence and Kansas Angles at Lincoln will round up the schedule before the Missouri Valley Meet. Coach Schultz is predicting a victory in the field events. The Cornell buckets lost a large number of good plays by graduation last spring.
buskers lost a large number of good loon by graduation last spring, but the quand has a large amount of promising material this year
Snoop Sherbons has become a member ex officio of that great band of agile, net-carrying, buttery-chancing students in the University known as entomologists. Snoop goes about the work of catching butterflies in earnest. Hardly have the young butterfly emerged before Snoop is on the job.
Snoop Sherbon Out for Butterfly Hunt
Only yesterday he was caught in the act of pursuing a little yellow creature. The butterfly perched on him, and his body stealthily from behind. But the butterfly was prevaire. Just as Snook reached the dandelion, it sailed on, and the entomologist's hopes were real. And then he decided that he decided to drop the course.
With not so much as a bark to say goodbye to the butterfly, Snoop left the dandelion, to take up a more worthwhile career, that of discovering a bone he had from back of a clam. Then Snoop has a claim on distinction other than being an entomologist. He is a pedigree bulldog as well.
Irma Long will be the ghost of Helen Supple, c25, at her home in Scranton, Kan., for the Easter vacation.
