ter i'm the Nebraska dual meet on Satur-
day afternoon with the freshman meet with
Carlton at Mortified tomorrow as a side
issue. Not much is known at present
about Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have
been making some pretty good showings
with the Missouri valley schools this spring.
but a definite line on their possibilities has
not reached Minnesota. The Gopher men
are feeling confident since their defeat Of
Wisconsin a week ago by such a decisive
score that they can not only take care Of
Nebraska on Saturday, but will also take
Iowa into camp a week later.
The team which will meet Nebraska will
not be materially different from the one
that won from Wisconsin week ago. The
men have all been before the eligibility
committee and It is now too late to enter
any more. Several men who passed the
committee did not enter the Wisconsin meet
because they were not in form. but they
expect to go against Nebraska Saturday.
All Of the men are training hard in the
hopes of being sent into the conference to
represent Minnesota.
