MASS FIELD MEET HELD BY BIG TEN WILL CLOSE TODAY  Figures Show That 425 Local Athletes Competed in Various Events  IOWA MAKES GOOD SHOWING  Results Will Be Sent To Chicago, Where Records Will Be Compiled.  Mass athletic meets between all Big Ten schools are being held this week. This meet is held each spring on the home grounds of each university. The period of competition must be completed during eight days, Saturdays included. This year's meet was run off from May 17 to 24. There are two contests, an all around contest and an individual event contest. An unlimited number of men may compete.  In the all around contest the total of the records of the first 200 men who have competed in all the following five events, high jump, broad jump, shot put, 50 yard hurdles and 100 yard dash, shall determine the standing of the university.   POINT SYSTEM USED  In the individual event the total of the best 200 men in the same five events shall determine the standing of the university in each individual event. The relay race will be an independent event. Thirty-two men, each man running 110 yards, will make up the team. The all around contest shall be scored on a point system. The individual events of the high jump, broad jump, and shot put shall be scored in feet and inches. The 100 yard dash and 50 yard hurdles shall be scored in seconds and fifths of a second. Each contestant was allowed to choose his own equipment but no spiked shoes were used. Individual winners are determined by the totals of the events, and the contestant with the best record is given first place.   MAKES GOOD SHOWING  Director Schroeder, who has charge of the meet, is well pleased with the showing made by Iowa. Figures show that about 425 men competed in the meet. In the 100 yard dash the following men ran it in eleven seconds, H. M. Barnes, Belding and Shope. In the high jump several men went over five feet. R. H. McDonald went five feet, three, M. W. Burns, five feet, G. F. Debrie, five feet, three and R. E. Shope, five feet, one inch. F. J. Cornelius made a leap of 19 feet, six inches in the broad jump; H. M.

The results of each school will be mailed to the faculty committee of the conference at Chicago where the records will be compiled.   

MRS. CAVANAUGH TO GO EAST  Mrs. Margaret Cavanaugh of the commercial department of the University high school, has accepted a position in economics in an eastern university for next year.  Marian Cavanaugh, a student in the University and Dorothy who is attending the University high school will go east with their mother.  Raymond Cavanaugh of the flying signal corps, when discharged will attend the same University.   

WOMEN TO COMPETE IN TENNIS TOURNAMENT  University women are already signing up for the women's tennis tournament, the first two rounds of which will be played next week. Entries should be made at the women's gymnasium before Tuesday morning, after which time the lists will be closed.  Judging from the crowded conditions of the courts, and the large enrollment of 244 freshman and sophomore women tennis players, there should be enough sharks to furnish an interesting tournament.   

DECORATION DAY SET FOR BIG CANOE RACE  Men and Women May Complete----Must Be Able to Swim Fifty Yards  Decoration Day has been set by the Eels' club as the date for the canoe race down from Mid-river. The eligibility rules and all arrangements are now complete. Aspirants for the two silver loving cups will journey to Joe Wray's crossing and be prepared for the crack of the gun at nine o'clock. As the contestants will paddle two at the canoe each or those paddling the winning craft will receive a cup.  The course lies down stream to the park bridge which has been chosen as the finishing point, and the two whose canoe first breaks water beneath it will be declared winners. As it is necessary to port the canoes around the Coralville dam it is provided that in so doing the contestants may carry them for a distance of 125 yards, but in no case to eliminate other obstacles or bends in this manner.  Both men and women are allowed to compete, but as a precaution against accident, they must be able to pass a swimming test of fifty yards. It is required that entries be in the hands of the physical department by May twenty-eighth at the latest.  The craft used in this race must be canoes 14 to 18 feet in length and carry only two contestants who shall use single paddles. A judge will be present at the crossing to start the race and the participants are to pay their expenses to that point.  There are expected to be a number of entries and the Eels are desirous of making this an annual affair. Very little use of the river has been made in the past and it is the object of the club to create and interest in the river sports.   

DR. HOLMES TO LECTURE  Dr. Abbey Holmes will give a series of lectures on Social Education to women at the L. A. auditorium Monday at 4 p. m., Tuesday at 4 and 7 p. m. and Thursday at 4 p. m. Attendance at these lectures is required of freshmen women and other University women are welcome.  

NOTRE DAME WINS FROM IOWA, 8-0  Iowa lost to Notre Dame on the latter's baseball field yesterday by a score of 8 to 0, according to a telegram received here last night.  The dispatch stated that Notre Dame scored nine hits, Iowa one. Hamilton pitched for the local nine. Murray of Notre Dame was allowed one hit.  

[photograph of Emma Noe]  FAMOUS ORCHESTRA CONCERTS TONIGHT AND THIS AFTERNOON  Program Starts at 3 p. m. and 8:15 p. m.----Last University Musical This Year  HAS RECORD TICKET SALE  Oberhoffer, Noe, Campbell, Woodard, Beyer-Hane, McConnell and Lindquist Will Appear  Two concerts given by the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra in the armory this afternoon and this evening at 8:15, mark the climax of the musical festivities provided by the University this year.  There has been a larger advance seat sale than any during the past three years for the annual spring concert. Seats may be reserved at the Johnson County bank this moring and at the armory after 1:30 o'clock.   
   Talented Aftists  
   Emil Oberhoffer, conductor, is extremely versatile in his musical understanding and seems to be equally at home with all types and schools of music.  
   Emma Noe, soprano, will sing an aria, "Ritorna Vincitor," from Verdi's "Aida" at the afternoon concert. One of the admirable features of Miss Noe's art, as commented upon by critics in many cities, is her fine diction. Besides possessing an unusually rich and full voice, Miss Noe is said to be attractive in appearance and to have real stage presence.  
   Fifteen months in the front line trenches, with a long subsequent period in the hospital have not diminished the beauty and vigor of the voice of Corporal Finlay Campbell, baritone, who will sing "She Alone Charmeth My Sadness," from "The Queen of Sheba" by Gounod.
    Guy H. Woodard, concert master of the Minneapolis Symphony organization will play the solo violin part in Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre" this afternoon.
  Cello Solo In Evening  
   In addition to the vocal solos at the evening concert, Herman Beyer-Hane, cellist, will play the Andante from Dvorak's Concerto for Violin-cello. Harriet McConnell, contralto, will sing "O, Immortal Harp," from "Sapho" by Gounod. Critics of her work seem unanimous in praising a warm appealing quality in her tones, and a marked smoothness of registers.  
   Albert Lindquest, who sings an aria from Gomez's "Salvatore Rosa"  (Continued on page 4)   

AURNER IS PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY COUNCIL  Robert R. Aurner was elected president of the University council Thursday evening, succeeding Ronald G. Reed. Everett M. Raymond became vice-president and chairman of the committee on [constitution?], and Julia Wade secretary.  A committee has been appointed to investigate similar councils at Michigan and other universities, with a view toward effecting a permanent elected organization next fall.   

TO PRESENT "HEROD" AT ENGLERT JUNE 4  Members of Educational Dramatic Class Will Stage Elaborate Three Act Tragedy  Because of the size of the production, and its large cast, "Herod," the three act tragedy to be given by the educational dramatics class will not be presented in the natural science auditorium May 28, as has been previously announced, but will be staged a week later, June 4, at the Englert. Tickets will sell at 50 cents and may be purchased on the campus.  "Herod" is one of the heaviest productions yet attempted by students of the University both in the quality of acting demanded from its principals, and in the matter of setting. The scene is laid in Jerusalem during the splendid reign of Herod. The action centers about the attempt of the high priest to usurp the crown.  Charles V. Brown of the University Players will play the part of Herod; Martha Darrah, the part of Marianne, his queen; Eleanor Talley, Salome; and J. Leonard Murphy the part of Gadias, advisor to the king. About twenty-five additional characters will complete the cast.  Rehearsals for the spectacle are being carried on under the direction of Miss Emma Dumke of the public speaking department.   

DEAN TALKS WITH WOMEN  Outside Activities of Freshman Women Being Investigated  To learn what class of outside activities and to what extent each one has entered into them is the object of Mrs. Nellie S. Aurner, dean of women, who has been holding conferences with all freshman women of the University.  Extra-curricular activities, as literary, musical, dramatics, athletics; social activities, as sorority, parties, callers; religious activities, as church and the Y.M.C.A., are discussed in an effort to gain facts in regard to interests and tastes outside the class room, and to what side of campus life the young woman turns in her first year of college.  Mrs. Aurner plans to issue a call shortly to all sophomore women for short conferences which must take place within the next week.   

Prof. C. M. Case gave the commencement address at the Shelby high school last night.
