table, which will be started at a local
hotel Monday. The number of this diet
squad will be Increased to fifteen men a
week or two before the Kansas meet. The
restrictions placed on the athletic boards
OF the various schools by the conference
ruling limits the expenditure of money for
diet tables and causes the Nebraska board
to keep down the size of the squad which
1t sends to the table to about fifteen men.
In maintaining a training table for its
track men Nebraska will be establishing a
precedent for the other schools composing
the Missouri valley conference. No other
university in that body has ever kept a
track diet table, although all OF them have
had foot ball tables. The running of the
table for the cinder path men this spring
also means that the Cornhuskers will keep
one for the foot ball men next fall. Three
se~hools-Kansas. Missouri and Nebraska
have now declared for the special grill
rooms for foot ball men and this means
that the rule recently passed by the Mis-
souri, valley conference legislating against
training tables will be rescinded at the
next gathering Of the representatives.

The annual election of student members
If the athletic board will take place Tues
DAY, May 10. The fight for places on the

large field of aspirants. Already ten or
twelve candidates have announced them

Harte, William Chaloupka, Robert Carroll,
Frank Johnson and H.. o. Perry. All Of
these men are well known Cornhusksr
athletes, and numbered among them are
captains Of three of the Nebraska athletic
teams. Since only five students are elected

nearly equal in the esteem of their fellow
students the race undoubtedly will be close.
