There has been a lack of interest in tennis this year. Quite a number have been prac ing, hut no matches were arranged and some of our best players have hardly practiced. We had some good players this year and it would have been a good time to pay back Doane for past defeats. The temporary boating crew has been chosen and the boys will begin training as soon os the Commencement exercises arc over. The "shells" will soon arrive and the boys will enter into hard training as soon as they have mastered the laws of equilibrium. They will train throughout the summerundcr the guidance of Capt. I unn, and by the next fall we may expect them to make a very creditable showing. The college base ball sesaon has closed. Our manager has been unfortunate this year in the arranging of games, and consequently we met but few teams. In these games it was clearly shown that we had the best team the N. U. has ever put into the field. Our one weak spot, as usual, was behind the bat. By some strange freak of fortune, the U. of N. has been very weak at that point for some years past. The other positions were well covered and our batting was much better than ever before. The annual field day contests were held at the state fair grounds, May 20. It was a splendid afternoon for the contests, and ev erything went off smoothly. Two records were broken. The running was especially good. Following is a list of events, win ners and records : EVENT.
