The hammer throw will fall TO Collins.

Close Contest for shOt Put.
Collins and Stevenson. Of Kansas, will be
the chief e~ontenders In the shot put, which
will probably be one of the best events of
the meet. The Jayhawker has the best
mark for the present season, having
pushed the shot IS feet, 10 inches in the
Aggie meet, while the best Collins has
done was as feet I inches, the distance he
made at M~orningside. Stevenson Is not
capable of doing much better than his best
nut OF the Aggie games, Collins, though,
should be able to go nearly 10 feet. II

shot- put at M~orninsside for Nebraska, will
probably be the third winner in the event
here.
Nebraska's mile relay team. composed Of
ANDERSON, Reed and Burke, Is
the big favorite for the Kansas meet. This
team won the race at the Kansas City
club games in Kansas City early
in April. repeated the performance at
M~orninRside, and, with the men in condi-
ton, ought to win in fast time against
the J~ayhawkers. In the meet last Saturday
the Cornhuskers ran the mile In S;S.
LulI in Base Ball.
No games are on the Cornhusker base
ball schedule for next week, but the local
team will probably play a game with
each Cotner and Wesleyan universities to
keep itself in practice for the final contests
of the season. May % and %, when the
Kansas nina will come TO LAncoln. The
games with the Jayhawkers will be re-
turn contests for the ones the Cornhuskers
played at Lawrence on the southern trip
last month. Only one of them will count
IN the standing OF the two teams in the
valley conference base ball league.
So far this season the Cornhuskers have
played good ball. and have made a much
better record than that of any team that
has represented the state school on the
diamond during the last six years. Up till
today, before the meeting with Drake,
they had played t~wenty-one games. OF
this number they had won twelve, lost eight
and tied one. Among the teams played
this season were some OF the best in the
Missouri valley. None OF them really
proved itself a better base ball organization
with the possible exception of Luther col
lege of DEBORAH, Ia, which is one of the
beat college mines In the west.
on the recent eastern trip of the Corn
buskers but three games were lost-one
each TO Ames. Luther and Minnesota.
Luther clearly outplayed the Cornhuskers.
but neither Ames nor Minnesota deserved
TO win from the scarlet and cream men.
A few costly errors were responsible for
the defeat at Ames, the Aggies getting the
game In the last half OF the eighth inning
AT Minnesota the Gophers were beaten
until the last half of the eighth, when an
error by the Nebraska second baseman al
lowed the Gophers to score two runs and

Speculation is rife Just now as to whom
