from other colleges. For several
years, teams from Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas have competed for this prize
but none OF them has been able to win
first place for two successive years.
The cup might be said to be still at

place. For this event, which will be
held, this year, at Lincoln, Neb,, the
men are coached and trained as thor

men are allowed to be on the team
and they are chosen according to their
ability as judges. Naturally, every
student puts forth his strongest efforts
to make the team and considerable in
