THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 22 1903 ATHLETICS AT UNIVERSITY @harter Day Evest: Bhow Beries of Remarkable Performances SIVERAL NEW VARSITY RECORDS MADE Dr. Clapp Bestows High Praise Dia Another milestone In umiversity track work was marked last Monday afternocon by | the indsor Charter day tournam which Proved eminebtly successtul y WAy broke four records of the school and gives Prospects for an exceptionally strong team this spring. There were mine on the schedule, in every ome of which the com- petition was close, so that the & resented & list of interesting as well as fast ath- Jetice. The various turms were a twenty- five-yard dash, running high jump. shot put pole vault, fence vault, running high kick inter-fraternity relay potato race, twenty- foot rope climb and basket bali game The greatest interest cemtersd about the pole vault, from the fact that Dr. Clapp. the hew director, bolds at present the record of the world in this event. And. singularly enough, the most remarkable showing of the dsy was made at this very trick. The university record was smashed completely and “Bill" Johuson and Benedict each cleared the bar three inches higher wp than has ever been done before indoors at Ne- braska ‘varsity. As predicted by The Bee these two men were pretty nearly equal ia their chances at first place in this feat The event brought them out exactly even— tiod at 10 feet 4 inches. Johnson was lucky and won thé toss, as he did again in a later event. In speaking of the mark made on the pole Dr, Clapp said: “Tt was a remarkably good plece of work, and we wers all surprised Ten feet four, indoors, s as good as tem feet ten out of doors any day, and is as good A8 any of the stars ever 4o in the east”™ Dr. Clapp himself has never beaten 10 feet € Inches indoors, and has pever in his life Jost & contest, so that the work of the Ne- braska men comes pretty close to being 2 superior article. E. V. Graves made a strike on his initisl appearance in track work by taking three first places in the fence vault; rope chmb and running high kick. Graves has mever @ome anything along this line until about twe weeks ago, when he began to Wain for Charter day, and he not only @14 things that even none of the rest of the crowd could do, but | beat the record at runnimig high kick by toeing at § feet and one-balf an inch. Ben- edict is anotber man who did mere than the average sort, tieing for first on the pole vault and winning first place at the high jump with a mark of 5 feet 4 inches. “This.” said Dr. Clapp, “is another excep- tionally geod mark for indoor work.” Martin and Tobin, captain of the traek team, each did first-class shot putting. the former tossing the 13-pound welght for & distance of 39 feet; 11 inches which is & new record for Nebraska. In the runming jump, Leomard, who was good at it last year, cleared the highest bar at § feet, 5 inches, and made & mew for the school. Bender was second with 5 deet. 4 inches. In the running high Xick “Giant” Hewitt took second place to [ £ i g8 ‘ I i o { g 3 : 3 i i aL - ] £ qf [ E . ] | | ; 4 | ; g : i H fusif | E : E§ I §é H i | | ¥ 11 £ it 5 Edison and Columbia be u this men bad expressed hemselves as candidates for the off corner of the diamond. but the entire bumch dis appeared from the “gym” the instant Hood stepped in the door.

The result leaves team No. § still in the lead, with team No. 2 second, it bav- ing replaced team No. §, which is Dow | thira. Thus two nights of the carnival are fin- ished, and one more s to come. That will Bas a good chance for final first place. Nine of the twelve events to be included in the carnival have now been held, and the mext might will include the remaining three—the high kick, the goal throw and fump.

Magnates of the Western league will not meet in Denver on March 2 to ar- range the schedule. That session will probadly be postpomed a few days This s done at the request of the Na- tional Bosrd of Professional Base Ball Clubs. The attempt to patch up & peace between the Coast league and the Pacific Northwest league is the cause of the delay. The board has decided to send a committee of twe, comprising President Sexton of the Western league and President Hickey of the American sssociation to take up this matter in cerpere. Last Wednesday the board was assembled in New York City by Pat Powers, its chair- man and president of the Eastern league. It was reported that pesce bhas been es- tablished everywhere in the country save out on the west coast, and it was decided that the only logical move was to make the truce all-embracing and to bring mat- ters to an amicable settlement there as well. This was sttempted by wire, but failed utterly. The case was a stubborm one, 30 the board decided to take It up in person on the ground by means of a com- mittee. ‘There are six members of the board, one each from the Eastern, New York State, Connecticut, Pacific Northwest and West- ern leagues and American ssscoiation Bexton had a date for the Deaver meeting, ‘st which it was proposed to settle the Western league schedule. He could mot go west with the board and re- | turn in time for that meeting. As a con- sequence every magnate In the Western Jeague received a telegram from Chairman Powers asking that the meeting be post- poned as & favor to him and the board. They &ll gave their permissica, so the ‘Western league schedule will not be set- “We are glad to postpone our business,” said Willlam Reurke, “if there i any show for getting pesce out on the coast. It is certalnly to the interest of all base ball organizations, east and west, to have this organized base ball a unamimous thing from coast to coast. ‘It is ot on account of any projected changes in Western league plans that we have altered the date of the meeting.

He is an old man at the game and makes a very good coach. Under his train- ing the team has advanced very rapidly. Most of the candidstes for the team ut the beginning of the season were new men at the game. To make & good team out of such raw material as this mesnt & great deal of training and hard work. Captain Cberrington realized this and soon bad the men hard at work. They prac- ticed four mights & week, three nights in | the High school gymnasium and once | st the Young Men's Christian association. | ing was to produce the best team that the High school has ever had. Captain Cher- rington himself, who has pisyed on the team for the last three years, says that this team is the strongest and fastest that they have had since he has been in the High school. | Little has been said sbout the team up | to this time, for it has not had any big games yet. But beginning next Priday it commences a series of games with other high school teams in fhe state. Next Friday evening, Pebruary 21, it plays the | Lincoln High school team in Germania hall of this ¢city. This promises to be one of the fastest interscholsstic games of ball ever played in and lovers of the sport should not mfss it Both teams are in the prime of condition.

Thask You THE BLOOD e MAINSPRING 7 HEALTH The most wonderful part of our being is the blood. It is the fountain of life, the vital life-sustaining fluid, containing ing needful for the wth and development of the body, as it circulates through the system carries material for t1® making of bone and muscle and nourishment for the nerves and tissues. muscles shrink an from the blood, and so long as it remains uncontaminated and pure we are fortified against disease and health is assured. But the blood is constantly exposed to poisonous elements from a thousand sources; we come in contact with infectious diseases almost every day; we breathe into our lungs the germs of Malaria; the water we drink is teeming The with bacteria, and when these gain access to the blood are distributed to all parts of the system and the blood becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Deadly poisons are generated within the body itself, which pollute and vitiate the blood, from which serious and often fatal maladies result. There is scarcely a disease that cannot be traced to a d. Rheumatism, Scrofula, Catarrh, Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Contagious Blood Poison and many other equally as distressing ailments are due to a depraved condition of the blood, for which there is no cure except through the purification of the entire blood system.
