War Ghosts Still
Haunt Baltic Sea

STOCKHOLM.-Ghos Of the great
war still haunt the Baltic, soaring vet
eran shippers, sailors. fishermen ana
steamship passengers alike.
Hardly a week passes without re-
ports along the Swedish coast Of drift
ing old mines and derelict submarines,
both a serious danger to all naviga-
ton. The mines are principally Of
Russian and German origin, and after
breaking loose from their moorings
they have drifted toward the east coast
of Sweden. Many Of them have been
washed ashore on Gottland island,
which lies almost in the center Of the
Baltic.
The derelict U.boats haunt the west
ern waters.
Ever since the armistice, Baltic
storms have washed mines upon the
coast and dwellers along the shore
have long since become accustomed to
the terrific detonations Of exploding
mines hurled against cliffs during
heavy gales. Energetic efforts have
been made TO sweep up these danger
Gus relics of the war. but it will prob
ably be years before either the North
sea or the Baltic is free OF them.

Coach Schultz
Working Huskers
for Valley Meet
Nebraska Track Mentor l.
Counting on Smith, Noble
and Deering for Points
in Annual Games.
BY FRANK F. LOOMS.
(Werld'e Champion HurdIer.)

Coach Henry Schulte's trackmcn
are grooming every effort towards
the coming Missouri Valley cham
pionship meet, and the prospects for
winning are little better than their
chances were indoors. The Nebras-
ka team will have a chance to bring
in their weight men and the scarlet
team may turn the trick on Kansas
at the outdoor meeting.
Sprinters Good.
With Smith Noble and Deering
working the sprints, Schultz has
three good men to count strong, al
though Deering will probably be
held out of the 220 so as to work
his hurdles. Lukens and Deering on
the high hurdles look good with
Lukens possibly holding the edge
on the l20-yard distance. Here is
where Nebraska will miss Wright,
who is ineligible through the three
year competition rule, but as there
is no sure point winner in this event
the Valley title is open.
With Hawkins, Smith and Polk
running the quarter, some places can
be counted for in this event. Iowa
State will cut i'll on Nebraska strong
" on the distance events, as Coach
Smith has three good men in Rath-
burn in the two-mile, Higgins at the
half, and Dek Wolters at 44O. Allen
at the Omaha Medical School will
be Schulte's hope in the mile, al
though he cannot be figured on for
much better than 4:35.
Watson Should Win.
The mile event should go to Wat
son OF Kansas. The field events are
in question although Nebraska is
weak in pole vault. Noble and Tur-
ner are jumping around 5 feet
g inches in the high jump, which
might cut in for place. Moulton
and Weller will work at the discus
with Heartman and Moulton on the
l6-pound shot. Brutus Hamilton Of
Missouri, national decathalon cham
pion, will cut in heavily on Nebras-
ka's total points in the broad jump,
pole vault, and javelin. Carmen and
Schoeple are throwing the javelin
around $50 feet, which will un.
doubtedly place. Ii the sprinters
come through as they should, along
with other second and third places,
the title may go to Nebraska again
and Coach Schultz is leaving nothing
unpolished to retain his title.
