REGENTS PLANNING TO BUY ONE ot the Proper Size he School May Help Buy LINCOLN, April 24—(Bpeclai)—Having less than twenty men on its track squad the state university this spring is threa ened with a dearth of candidates that may prove fatal to the chances of putting out a fast team; and this, too, in a season when there is & large quantity of excel- lent material in school which, if brought together, would give the Cornhusker insti- tution the strongest bunch of representa- tives on the cinder path that it has had in many years. The cause of the small slze of the squad 1s more serfous than the ab- seice of suitable candidates from the student body and it is due entirely to the lack of an athletic fleld on the university campus. This want proved a hardship on the ‘base ball coaches in making a good nine and it {s now a big obstacle in the way to producing a strong track team. No athletlc field on the campus has neces- sitated the gstablishment of training quar- ters at the state falr grounds and the change has kept promising track men from reporting for practice. Dr. Clapp, head coach of the cinder path men,. this morning declared that the forced transfer of the training site has brought upon his department a serfous situation fn which to work out a well balanced team for the coming meets. He asserted that the present squad of candidates, which he has been working with the last two weeks, fs the smallest he has handled during his term at this institution. He lays the blame for the reduced squad to the absence of an athletic fleld. Candidates Are Scarce. Wright, Alexander, Haskell, Little and the Two Larneds. NEW YORK, April 24.—The International committee of the United States National Lawn Tennls association will hold a meet; ing shortly te select men who will make the trip to Australia to try once more to lift the Davis cup. ' While it may be a little early to make a definite selection, thers is no doubt that Beals Wright, F. B. Alexander, H. H. Haskel, Raymond Little, W. A. Larned and E. P. Lartied will bo among thoso selected. |The latter did not play any tennis last year; he was with Peary in the Artic regions. This season he will be in the thick of It, and is likely to prove an interesting factor in all the impertant tournaments. Thess men “Not ‘since T first came to Nebraska." explained Dr. Clapp in talking over the prospects for a track team, “have we been confronted by as wserious a dearth ' of track candidates as there is here this epring. Last season there were over sventy men on the squad and this spring. there -should have been more than that number, for only a few of last year's lst- ter men ‘have left the university. There are many good track and fieldmen in school but so far they have failed to report to me The whole trouble with them, I think, is the fact that we have no cinder path of our own this year and are compelled to practioe at the state fair grounds. ““The students do not like to journey out to that track, for the trip takes so much time and keeps them away from thelr studles a part of each foremoon. Last spring the men, when the same conditions obtained, were reluctant about going =0 great a distance for training, but this year some of them mot only protest agaipet working out there but they wc- tually vefuse to report to me at all. This situation, if we are to have a winning team, cannot be permitted to continue any. longer. “Here we are with lees than twenty men on the squad and the preliminary meet only one week off, the date for It being Saturday, May 1. One week from that meet. we will encounter the Morningside. college at Sloux City and then our men will have all they can handle, for the (Packingtown schoal has several strong athletes and is likely to spring a sur- prise on the Cornhusker crew veral Weak Spo ““The Nebraska squad will have to do some rapid work in training during the next two weeks, or else wo will get a poor start on the season. I am working now to get out the men who are helding back. We need every one of them, for we are weak in the long distance runs and In one or two other events, and we cannot develop a winning team from a squad of twenty men. The students will have to suffer for the want of proper facilities | only this season and they ought to be willtng to work under disadvantages this n one spring trying to give us a winning team. If the men will turn @ut for training, I feel certaln we can beat both Kansas and Minnesota in the | dual contests we have with those schools, and I know we would stand an excellent chance against the other teams in the con- ference meet at Des Moines in June. 1| am not sure, though, that enough candi- | dates can be drawn out for practice. If they do net report to me faster than they have dene during the last two weeks the Cornhuskers can hope to be no factor in| the blg meets next month." Besides the scarcily of candidates, the track prospects also have been darkened | by injuries to some of the men in train- ing. Perry, champlon broad jumper and a fast sprinter, tore looss a muscle In | his right foot this week, and Dr. Clapp fears the younsg athlete will be many d In_recovering sufficiently to rejoin squad. Barly In the week MeDavitt prowising candidate injured one of his knees so badly that he will be absent from the squad for probably * week or twe. The annual preliminary meet will be held the a in the hurdle events, at the state fair grounds Saturday after- con of next week. In this contest fresh. men, who are ineligible for intercollegiate games, will be allowed to compete. There are several first-year stars and they a liable to take & generous share of honors from the upper classmen. The work of Curtis Collins, who is eligible for the varsity this spring for the first time, will be watcbed closely by the local fans Several tmes in practice he has beaten the university mark in the shot put, and Mmany students belleve he will make his ‘ong throws official by breaking the Corn- \usker record on Saturda). New Fleld Prospect. The great handicap under which Corn- huskers have worked for the last two spriogs will be removed by next fall and | (Continued on Séecond Page) are all topnotchers, but whether they can afford to take a thres months' trip, because that is virtually what it is, from their business or profession, is for them to de- cide. Beals Wright talks about retiring. England has also sent a challenge to the Antipodes. Now the point arises, where will the preliminaries be played, here or in England? The British Lawn Tennls association is after them and would like to make them the feature of their all-Eng- land champlonship tournament, at Wim- bledon. But this year the United States has a good claim, and Longwood, Philadelphia and the Metropolitan Club, which opens its new grounds at Van Cortland park, this spring, all wish these matches, According to & member of the Inter- national committee the English players should come here this year to play the elimination contests. This would be better for both teams. If the visiters won they could go to Australia via San Francisco, which would be m saving of time; the United States team could do the same if victory fell to their lot. Thus an unneces- sary trip to England for the American team could be avoided. Miss May Sutton will not make her ex- pected onslaught on the woman's cham- pionship title this year. The Californian still hopes to come east and play at Niagara-on-the-Lake, but she cannot leave Pasadena until late in the summer. The New York state championship meet- ing, which was held In 1907 and 198 on the grounds of the New York Athletic club at “Travers Island, will be played on the courts of the Crescent Athletie club at Bay Ridge this year. BELMONT PURSES WILL STAY UP Club Will Face Certain Lo Than Reduce. NEW YORK, April 24.—Although it Rather is in a financlal loss, there will be no re- duction in the value of the stake races to {be run at Belmont park during the meet- ing which is scheduled to open on May 13. The Metropolis handicap is not yet closed, but the four other classics, the Belmont, with $0000 guaranteed; the Ladies, with 35,000 added; the Withers, with $10,000 added, and the National stallion, with 38,000 added, have been filled. The Metro- politan purse will be cut, but the other | four will not be touched. As'now planned, there~will be ten days of racing at Belmont park. The opening will be on Thursday, May 13, and on the | | Saturday following another program will be run off. Three days of racing will be ‘\'urdwl in each of the next two weeks and two in the fourth. These ten day will be arranged for regardless of the support given by the public and horse owne: The assoclation is prepared to stand a loss, no matter how heavy. If, | however, the meeting should prove a suc- cess, or if the financial returns would | seem to warrant it, additional days will be | added. It depends entirely upon the publ whether there will be three days or four, but there will surely be three. The usual six-race program will be pre- lulmnsl certain that the move will result | | sented each day. Stakes, purses and over- night events are now being arranged, and | will be put on just as they were when | racing was in its prime. There will be a | reduction In the money offered for the overnight races and the smaller stake but none in the big fixtures named above. The Belmont, which will be run this year for the forty-third time, is the oldest stake iIn “America. At Sheepshead Bay several Valuable stakes—the Tidal, the Lawrence | Realization and the Mermaid—were closed prior to the enactment of the anti-racing bills, and these will be run off without | any reduction in value.

It .is understood Mr. Condon purposes conducting the races under the rules which prevail on the eastern -tracks, and\ the Jjudges and track officials will ‘be turfmen from New York. There is a preponderance of public sefi- timent in Denver and fin the state in favor of racing gnd a summer meeting [here conducted along high lines and under Condon's management promises to be a winner from the start It is understood to be Condon's idea to | make it a thirty-day meeting, but it is possible that it will be extended for fifty- two days, running it through falr week, September 2 to 7, inclusive. The 'purses and stakes will be liberal enough. it is belleved,, to attract many of the best horses, and those who have dis- cussed ‘the proposition with Mr. Condon that this is his intentlon. 0 determined effort was made to:force a racing bill through the legisiature, which closed here April 4.

By bullding an entirely mile in length, connecting west legs of the course, will not pass through Crown Point, as had originally been planned. Crown Point res- |idents made no objection to this use of thelr streets. They were entirely willing |to have their thoroughfares .boarded up and to give tre racing cars Tight-of-way, But “there were two right angle turns which could not be aveided if the cars went through the city. Therefore the com- \mluen decided to utilize a part of its 132,00 road improvement fund in building a new highway. Other minor changes in new. road one the east and the racing cars the course reduce the total number of turns from eighteen, as originally mapped out, to twelve.
