ROUGH somewhat lacking in student support, the cinder-path sport has been quite successful at Nebraska for several years past. In 1914 the team participated in three dual meets besides the Missouri Valley Meet at St. Louis. On May 1, the team met the Jayhawks at Lawrence and were defeated by a score of 67 to 42. Kansas's longer training season, coupled with the fact that Goetze, Nebraska's star distance runner was unable to enter the meet because of injuries, accounts for the success of the Jayhawks.

Track Squad En Route to Kansas

     On the gridiron in 1913 she humbled the mighty Gophers for the second time in the history of our school. Early in 1914 the Cornhusker basketball team humiliated our big northern rivals in two fast games on the Minnesota floor. A few weeks later the debating team won a unanimous decision over the forensic representatives of Minnesota, again in the camp of the Gophers. On May 16, it devolved upon our track team to make a clean sweep of the year, so far as Minnesota was concerned by taking their hide on the Nebraska field. The track team succeeded in this achievement when Zumwinkel, the fleet quarter-miler, overcame a five yard lead, in the mile relay, and breasted the tape fifteen yards ahead of his Gopher competitor.
