Dope Picks Nebraska To Win Annual Meet On Local Field Today
Pole Vault and Mile Relay May Swing Score in Kansas' Favor
Rice Will Try for Record
Shot Put and Both Hurdle Events Seem Likely to Be Nebraska's
Kansas meets Nebraska this afternoon on McCook Field starting at 4 o'clock in the annual dual track meet. Unless Kansas pulls out of the rut in some of the events it looks like a victory for Nebraska. If K. U. can win first in the pole vault and the mile relay race, the Kansas and missin in four of the contest. Then, in providing other events go as expected.
Nebraska has MacMahon, who should win the 100-yard dash from Haddock, but Haddock should defeat the Nebraska sprinter in the 220-yard dash. In the 440-yard dash, Lobaugh looks like a winner over the best bet that the Cornhuskers have. Murphy looks a little better than the Nebraska runer in the half.
RICE TO TRY FOR RECORD
In the mile, Nebraska has Graf who might win from Deewall. Grau looks like a certain winner in the 2-mile, but Oglevie or Hanna should get second out of the event. Howard and Gerhard may tie for the pole vault.
Rice is certain of first in the high jump and he is counting on breaking the Missouri record in this meet. Nebraska should get second, though Howard may cop the three extra points. Rodley looks at a winner broad jump for K. U., and Nebraska is conceded second in this event.
The shotput probably will go to Nebraska although this is a doubtful event and Haddock is certain of getting a second out of it. Liggett may place for Kansas. In the disc Haddock seems certain of five points, for he has been hurling this weight 120 feet in practice.
HURDLES LOOK LIKE NEBRASKA
HUDBLES LOOK LIKE NEBRASKA
The high hurdles look like all Nebraska, while the low sticks are expected to be won by Finney, of Nebraska, with Hobart, of Kansas, second. The mile relay may decide the meet. Here again there is some doubt. Nebraska had little trouble in winning from Kansas indoors this winter, but since then the K. U. team has been strengthened, and the Cornhuskers may lose the event. By winning the relay, Jayhawk hopes for victory look more promising.
J. C. Grover, of Kansas City, who is known as a competent starter in the Missouri Valley, will start the athletes this afternoon.
According to the dope, Kansas sought to get at least 49 to Nebraska's 60, and may do better.
Sphinx Favor Drill and Object to 6-Day Plan
The Sphinx dance tonight at Ecke's hall marks the passing of the present Sphinx organization. Sphinx is an organization composed of representative first year men with the idea of creating a better school spirit and fostering "pep" movements among underclassmen. The body this year has led an active life. It passed resolutions favoring compulsory military training; it decided against the 6-day plan of school, and favored the abolishing of refreshments at dances in war times.
New Sphinx are elected at the first of each year and are initiated by the Sphinx of the previous year.
Physical Exercise At K.U. Is Better Attended
This Semester Only 5 Per Cent Must Do Make-up
Work in the department of physical education this semester shows a marked improvement over the first semester, records showing that the work in every department is nearly 100 per cent better.
Students having no more than the given number of cuts are exempted from further physical exercise. Those having exceeded the maximum number are required to make up the work and will be made up in Robinson gymnastium and cuts in military drill will be made up in that department.
The number of students who must make up work probably does not exceed 5 per cent of the men enrolled. This is a great improvement over the first semester and the reason for it lies in the fact that make-up classes have been held every day giving the men an opportunity to make up the work as they went along.
Student Organizations To Aid French Children
Many student organizations are responding to the request to aid the fatherless children of France according to the local committee in charge of finding benefactors for these orphans. The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity recently adopted a French war unit and adopted to do likewise. One fraternity adopted an orphan last year but gave up the charge this year.
Several sororities have already adopted war orphans and one or two educational organizations have also adopted them. The Cercle Francais recently sold tags on the campus for this purpose.
