Next the inivorsity first team played
the Llndoln high school to decide the
winner of the sorles. This gamo wns
full of vim throughout, and a continu
ous sorles of good plays. Each Indi
vidual player seemed to realizo how
much depended on her and played with
unusual animation. One after another
the players on each sldo were loudly
applauded. Miss Miller threw the goals
on the fouls for the university and she
succeeded In throwing the greater part
of them. The score at the end of the
first half was, University 12, high
school 0.
Between the halves Omaha and the
university second team played n game
for the consolation prize. In this con
test the second team redeemed their
reputation. They had possession of
the ball most of tho time and outclassed
their opponents In team work and bril
liant plays. The resulting score was
12 to 2.
In the second half between the first
team and Lincoln high school the work
of the high school team brought, forth
much favorably comment. Al. hough
facing defeat tho girls played pluckily
and at times the excellent team work
showed itself. Again and again they
would send the ball down tho field, but
as often their attempt to throw for
goal would be th.sartl on account of
the height of tile university guards.
In this half not a single foul was
charged against the high school, while
several wore called on their opponents.
'J he hero of this half was Miss Guile,
who threw most of the goals. She
threw several of these while carefully
guarded by one or more players of the
opposite side.
Th3 final score was 24 to 1.

' 'On next Thursday evening the Lin
coln public will be given the first op
portunity to hear a complete account

The society of Sigma Xi, an honor
ary scientific society at the State Uni
versity has arranged to have one of
its members, Prof. Sweezcy, of tho
Astronomical department, give a pub
lic lecture before the society, describ
ing the event above noted. Prof.
Swezey was one of tho scientists who

OMAHA 5, NEBRASKA 1.
Tho first game of tho season was
played on the campus Inst Wednesday
by the Omaha Western League team
and tho University team. Owing to
tho threatening condition of tho weath
er tho crowd of spectators was not
large. The enthusiasts who did bravo
the mist and rain had tho satisfaction
of seeing a neatly contested gamo.
This was the first time the rooters
havo had a chance to sizo up the Uni
versity team. Much praise is duo the
boys for tho fine showing made in this
gamo. "Comparatively few errors wore
made.
Townsend was in tho box for tho
University team and proved very ef
fective throughout tho gamo. Ho kept
the -hits wo'll scattered, and shut -th
Omahas out for six consecutive Inn
ings. ofnaha'wns first a'tbat, but did not
succeed in shotting a man around tho

bases. Tho new rule "making "fouls"
strikes until two strikes are called,
caused a great deal of surprise upon
the bleachers. This rule fell heaviest
upon tho University team for they
fouled for a good many strikes.
Do Putron was tho first man to face
the Omaha pitcher, and succeeded In
getting to first. Ho wns thrown out
while stealing second.
Townsend then stepped up to bat.
He connected with one of Mr. Free
land's curves so successfully that he
circled the bases before the ball was
brought back. This was the only score
made by either sldo until the seventh.
Omaha then began to work up, and
the result was four runs to hor credit.
Omaha changed pitchers In the sev
enth. Graham a southpaw, took Free
land's place and gave the University
boys lots of trouble until the end of tho
game. During the throe innings which
ho pitched he struck out seven wearers
of the red.
After life seventh there was little
doubt as to the outcome. The leaguers
added one more to their score In the
ninth and shut tho University boys
out In one, two, three order.
As a whole, the University team
showed up well. A few days of good
weather will enable the boys to get In
shape again for the Missouri game.
The score was as follows:

Y. M. C. A, ADDRESS.
Many favorable commonts have been
heard concerning the series of ad
dresses given by C. C. Michoner soma
time ago. Tho favor with which ho
was received was largely because of
the magnetism of the man and the
scholarly presentation of his subject.
The address of B. .1. Colton to ho given
noxt Sunday at tho men's mooting of
tho Y. M. C. A. will be as rare a treat as
those of Michoner, though of a some
what difforont nature. When Mr. Mich
oner took up city association work a
fow years go after sovon yoars ser
vlco as Western Col logo Secretary of
tho International Committeo, it was
thought that tho student movement
had sustained a serious Iosr. Rut In
Mr. Colton that loss has been made
good. It is thought by some that Col
ton is in some rospocts superior to
any man who has filled that responsi
ble position. Doing an enthusiastic
college man and a student of scholarly
attainments ho is everywhere sought
for. Added to this, ho is a natural
leader and posssossod of rare magnetic
qualities, Provisions aro being mado
for nn unusually largo attendance Sun
day afternoon When ho will address
tho young mon of tho university.

DR. ROSS AT PHILADELPHIA.
Dr. Edward Ross spoke before the
fifth annual meeting of tho American
Academy of Political and Social Science
on last Saturday evening. Tho topic
of his discussion was 'T'he Causes of
Race Superiority." He spoke in pare,
as follows:
"It will take at least two or three
generations to level up the industrial
methods of continents like South Am
erica or Africa or Asia, as a Jamaica,,
a Martinique or a Hawaii havo been
leveled up; and all this time that race
which oxcels in energy self-reliance
and education will have the advantage.
When this furiously dynamic epoch
closes, whon the world becomes more
static and unlformlsm recurs, self-reliance
will be at a discount and the con
ditions will again favor the race that
is patient, laborious, frugal, intelligent
and apt in consolidation. Then per
haps the Celtic and Mediterranean
races will score against tho Anglo
Saxon. The superiority of a race cannot be
preserved without pride of blood and
an uncomprising attitude toward the
lower races.
He compared the English and Span
ish races in America, Showing how
the latter had mixed with the natives
and degonoratcd.
Continuing he said:
"In the presence of the plenty pro
duced by its triumphant cnorgy the su
porior race forms what tho economists
call 'a standard of comfort,' and refus
es to multiply save upon this piano.
With his native ambition stimulated,
by the opportunity to riso and his nat
ural foresight relnforcod by education,
tho American, for oxamplo, ovorrulc&
his strongest instincts and refrains
from marrying or from increasing IiIb
family until ho can realize his subjec
tive standnrd of comfort or dnnniwv
i The powor to form and cling to such
a standard Is not only one of tho no
bles1 trlumphB of reason over pas
sion, but is, In sooth, tho only sure
hope for tho elevation of tho mass of
mon from tho abyss of want and strug-
Bio.
