CONTEST FOR HONORS
Juniors at University Are Touted as
Probable Winners.
SOME HARD CONTESTS EXPECTED
Greatest Interest Centers Around One
of M short spirits and the shot
Put-CoIIins Brothers Are
PetitOrs.

LINCOLN. March 1S.-(SpecialD-Final
arrangements are being made at the state
university for the first annual interclsss
athletic meet. which is TO be held IN the
gymnasium Saturday night under the
direction OF Coach DR.. Clspp. Tn pre-
liminaries OF the four classes are being
held and the list of entries will be ready
by tomorrow night.
Practically ali of the best athletes in
the university will take part in these
games and the entry list will number
nearly seventy-five men. The juniors,
led by Captain Mcdonald Of the varsity
track team, seem to stand an excellent
chance of winning the contest. They will
be fast in the sprint and in two or three
of the field events.
The freshmen. with Graham the crack
pole vauiter and high jumper from Doane
college, will be strong bidders for sew
eral points in the field events. Swan
son. who won the twenty-five-yard dash
on charter, day, win contest for the first
year men in hat sprint and is likely to
take first honors. He, however, will be
closely pushed by Wildman, the cham
pion fast distance man of varsity cinder
path team. This coming race between
theso two men is attracting more inter-
est among the students than any cther
single event on the program for Satur-
day night. for 1t will decide whether
Wildman shall hold the title of best run
ner for another year. Some of the fol-
lowers of Swanson are willing to wager
that he will wrest the laurels from his
speedy opponent. The supporters of
Wildman have little to say. though, and
this Teticent attitude of theirs is taken
to indicate that they expect their man to
win without any great effort.
In the shot-put Curtis and Sidney Col
Inns will be pitted against each other
again and the university record for this
weight is likely to fall. On charter day
when they contested Sidney defeated his
brother by putting the shot over forty
five feet. This broke the record, but the
mark was not allowed to stand, as the
ring from which he made the throw was
not of regulation size, Saturday nigh
all rules will be conformed to and the
two brothers will attempt to lower not
only the, university mark, but also the
Missouri valley indoor mark for the
twelve-pound shot-put. Until charter
day Curtis had been rated as a better
weight man than his brother and now.
although he was beaten on that day. some
of the students still think he can out
distance Sidney with the shot. Curtis
has an idea he can, too, and will try
mighty hard in the coming meet to prove
his superiority.
