STARS UNABLE TO MAKE TRIP Team in Shape (From a Staff Correspondent. LINCOLN, March 13.—(Special.)~The ehowing of the Cornhusker athletes In the meet at the Sloux City auditorfum last night cannot be taken as an indication of what they will be able to do in the com- ing grand meet at Omaha. The men who went to Sloux City for Nebraska did not represent the athletic strength of the local sehool. All the best athletes had planned on go- ing until Saturday morning, when several of them discovered that their school work would force them to remain at home. Lit- tle interest was taken here among the students in the Sloux City games and the athietes did not care to compete there, owing to the many handicaps that would have been placed against them. Nebraska's star athlete and captain of last year, Dale McDonald, decided at the last minute not to go to Sloux City. He was the best man in the hurdles last year in the Missourl valley meet, and there is little doubt that he would have proved a winner had he made the trip to the lowa clty. Another athlete who did not get to com- pete was Funkhouser, a welght man. He would probably have won first place in the twelve-pound shot put. In the local charter day meet he shoved the welght over forty-four feet. At the meet last night the best mark was barely thirty- nine feet. The relay team of the Cornhuskers, which defeated by Drake, was handi- capped by the loss of McDonald. He was one of the fastest men on the quartet, and his fallure to make the trip denied the men & great sprinter for one of the laps. Little interest was taken in the Sloux City meet by the local athletes because of the Omaha games, which ars less than & month away. By that time the Corn- huskers will be drilled and trained to do their best and they wlill plan on winning many points. Some of the Cornhuskers were not In the best of condition yester- day and they felt it would be better to stay out of thd Sloux City games and not run any chances of being defeated, when they would have another opportunity to show thelr prowess agalnst all kinds of athletes at the Omaha meet. For two weeks the Nebraska runners and other athletes have been training for the Omaha contests and they should be in fine condl- tion by the time for that meet. As soon as the track coach is elected, which event probably will occur tomorrow, he will take charge of the cinder path men and their training for the Omaha games.
