That military precision will have to bt
used in handling the meet is easily seer
by a glance at the long list Of events. Of
ficials are willing to wager that these
events will all be pulled off according t
schedule. No delays will be brooked anC
the athletes will have to stay in theii
dressing rooms until their turns are called
No athletes in their athletic clothes will b,
permitted in the arena except when thei
event is called.
Free list entirely suspended This 4
the sign out and it will be strictly observed
The meet is most expensive and it will re
qulre the sale OF every seat In the hous
to pay expenses and the management ha
shut down on all free tickets that tn
meet may be made a financial success an
Omaha will be encouraged to pull off an
other next year.
The events are:
