The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII-NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1919 NUMBER 93 HIGH SCHOOL TRACK STARS GATHER KEEN COMPETITION IN INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET IS PREDICTED West Des Moines Will Have Hard Time Holding Alumni Cup Won Last Year SEVERAL GOOD SPRINTERS Many Entrants Who Placed in Drake Relays Will Compete on Iowa Field Today Competition will be a feature of the interscholastic track meet here today. Little is known of the strength of most of the competing schools, but several of them are coming to Iowa City with the intention of carrying off the Des Moines Alumni cup which is the chief trophy. West Des Moines won one leg of the cup last year when it made the largest number of points of any team entered. This spring, however, West Des Moines has a number of untried men and is probably not so strong as either North or East Des Moines. Cedar Rapids Promising Rivalry is keen between the three schools of the capital city. No city meet was held this year to give them an opportunity to pick the winner, and today's contest will decide the question. North Des Moines has four good sprinters in Wilkinson, Harmon, Maine, and Morton. Shell and Rocko of East High and Read, Schee, and Beck of West High are also dash men of promise. Cedar Rapids is said to be bidding high for the championship. This school brings four half milers who averaged about 2:08 in the Drake relays when they broke the record in the two mile and won the race in the fast time of 8:34. Iowa City Team Green Iowa City high school has a team composed almost entirely of green material. Wilson, who ran second to Smith in the dashes in the meet last spring, may be depended upon to set a fast pace in his events. Davenport is said to be strong this year. Seventeen athletes are entered by this school. Boone is entering the half mile relay team which took second in the section of that race at the Drake relays. West Waterloo is also entering men who ran at the Drake relays. DR. SNEDDEN TALKS TO FRESHMAN WOMEN Dr. David Snedden, who is attending the conference on supervision this week, gave a talk on the "Economic Future of Women" at freshman lectures, Thursday. Dr. Snedden is an authority on vocational guidance and his talk dealt with the subject of women entering into the industrial world, some of the difficult situations it involved, and the fields of work open to women today. WRITES FOR HARPERS Harpers for May has the second installment of Vilhjalmur Stefansson's story of "Solving the Problem of the Arctic," Stafansson is a graduate of the University and was its guest several weeks ago. IOWA-AMES GAME TOESDAY Next week, Iowa's baseball team will start upon another lap of its 1919 season after an enforced idleness of several days on account of rain. The Hawkeyes will meet on the Aggies' diamond Tuesday in the most important state game on the Old Gold schedule. Although coach Mayser is reported to have a crack nine this spring, Iowa fans are confident in the ability of Jones' wonderful ball team and are looking for the seventh straight victorywhen it tackles the cyclones. FRATERNITIES HOSTS TO HIGH SCHOOL MEN Twenty-three Schools Send Representatives for Track Meet at Uni versity Fraternities of the University are entertaining men from the twenty-three high schools of the state who are competing for honors in the eleventh annual interscholastic field and track meet to be held on Iowa field this afternoon. About 185 men are here for the meet. Entertainment consists of lodging, breakfast and six o'clock dinner. As early as Thursday, sixteen fraternities had signified their intention to open their doors to the University's guests. For the noon day meal, the visitors must forego luncheons which their hosts might have in their honor, to be served at a training table as prepared by the athletic board. Fraternities and their guests are as follows: Apollo-Burlington; Delta Chi-Mason City, Newton, Sigma Phi Epsilon Boone; Sigma Chi-West Des Moines; Delta Tau Delta-Davenport; Kappa Sigma-Oskaloosa; Nu Sigma Nu-West Des Moines; Phi Delta Theta-Fort Dodge, Washington; Psi Omega-West Waterloo; Sigma Nu-West Des Moines; Sigma Pi-North Des Moines; Theta Xi Mason City, Phi Kappa-Dubuque, Fairfield; Sigma Alpha Epsilon-Waterloo. Although some of the men will remain to attend entertainments of various fraternities, most of them will return to their homes Saturday night. RELAY TEAMS CHOSEN FOR WISCONSIN MEET Tryouts were held yesterday afternoon to pick the freshman half mile and mile relay teams that will compete in the telegraphic track and field meet with Wisconsin Wednesday may 7. In the quarter mile run for the purpose of choosing the members of the longer relay, Buchanan, Toinby, Brees, and Kenworthy finished in the order named out of a field of nine runners, and will constitute the mile quartet. Barnes, Belding, Smith, and Morrison were the winners of the shorter dash. SINCLAIR RECOVERING Robert D. Sinclair, freshman, who broke his hip some time ago in the gymnasium, is now able to be up. His mother, Mrs. Martha Sinclair, of Allerton, is in Iowa City HAWKEYES OUTSTRIP CORNELL SPRINTERS WITH SCORE 112-24 Drizzling Rain Does Not Dampen Spirit of On-Lookers From the Bleachers SLIPPERY FIELD HINDERS Cornell is Unable to Make More Than One Point in Several of the Events Hugging the sheltered part of the bleachers to escape the slow rain, a good representation of the track fans of the University stayed on the job at the Cornell-Iowa meet yesterday until the Hawkeye runners had romped away with a final score of 112 to 24. (Image) Greenwood, Captain Track Although the athletes from the smaller school were outclassed by the Iowa men in most of the events, several runners of sterling ability were entered under the Cornell banner. Two of these men, Browning and Torrance, ran their respective races, the mile and two mile, in faster time than has been made on Iowa field this year. Visitors No Match In the field events, the quarter mile run, the dashes, and the hurdles the visitors were no match for the proteges of Jack Watson. In the high hurdles, the 100 yard dash, the discus throw, the shot put, and the 220 yard dash Iowa took all three places. In several other events Cornell copped only one point. The half mile run was one of the best races of the day. Browning, the star of the visiting team, was unable to pass Rosenbaugh, and the stocky, little Hawkeye runner crossed the tape line, winner by two or three yards. Field is Slippery The slippery field handicapped those entered in the field events, and the results were somewhat lower than would have been registered (Continued on Page 8) Twenty-three High Schools in 11th Interscholastic Track Meet An unusually large number of athletes are entered in the interscholastic field and track meet this year. Forty-eight men will start in the 100 yard dash and the 220 yard dash, and there will be almost as large a field in the other events. Preliminaries to eliminate part of the men will be held this forenoon at 9:30. These eliminating contests will be in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the low and high hurdles, the high jump, broad jump, pole vault, discus throw, and shot put. The finals will come at 2:00 P. M. The field events are to be run simultaneously with the track events, and no delay will be allowed for conflicts. The jumps and weight events are also to be held at the same time. Awards to be Given Immediately after the close of the meet the medals will be presented to the respective winners. Gold, silver, and bronze medals go to the winners of the first four places in all individual events. Special prizes will be given to the members of the relay teams taking first place. The University "I" club is awarding a silver loving cup to the highest individual point winner. The grand award is the Des Moines Alumni cup, awarded by the University alumni of the city of Des Moines, which goes to the school scoring the highest number of points.
