CAPTAIN SMOKE SPEAKS. ALL AROUND ATHLETIC CON TEST. Definite anouncemenls wero made last Monday evening In tho athletic class of tho annual all around indoor Pentathlon which will occur on the evening of March '2. This contest is ono of unusual Interest becauso each man must outer tho five scheduled ovonts. Tho man who thon haB a ono sided development cannot hope to win as tho result is obtained by tho avcrago cf points in each event. Tho ovonts scheduled for this con test include tho high-jump, tho shot put, tho threo broad jump, the polo vault and tno potato-race, The three Jumps requlro special strength of thighs and calves; tho shot-throw require wolght and streugth of shoul ders aud arms; tho pole-vault ro qulros an almost comploto develop ment as well as great skill and what tho athletes call "nerve.' It re quires all a man's strength to concen trate his force in tho dealing -of a bar at ten foot or more. Those who have done 16 make a very small per cent of college ahtletes. Tho potato race taxes a man's en durance to the utmost and It is not uncommon to seo a person faint from breathlessness after tho tinlsh. This contest In particular will bring to gether several well known athletes. Such as Pillsbury, Gaines and Kellogg will no doubt participate. Pillsbury has held several records until last year when Calnes suceeded in break ing tho high jump at ."j.-IO. Ho still holds tho standing broad aud tho three-broad jump records. He has the medal for tho all around out door coutesb of 189!).

Corr, Hewitt, McConib, McDonald, Tobin, Johnson and several others who have good prospects have signi fied their intont of entering. This insures a snappy contest in which records will be broken ana high scoring assured. A gold medal has boon offered for the wluuer aud most of the men aro already getting into trim. Tho Y.W.C.A. will hold a Gospel Servico In tho assoclatiou rooms next Sunday atfernoou at 4 o'clock. Miss Lathrop will lead the mooting. II. B.

Captain SmoKe, tho new command ant, made au address at convocation yesterday before a largo audlonco of lien and women who applauded his overy joko and smilo.-At times ho had to stop In his spocch bocauso of tho noisy enthusiasm prevailing. Captain Smoko sairi that ho consid ered this cntusiasm a great compli ment to his predecessor. Still, ho was a little abashed In tho prosenco of .such enthusiasm. Tho cliancollor had asked him to talK for ton minutes on tho military dopartmont of tho University. Ab a soldier ho was not afraid of battlo, but whon ho had to talk, ho felt 11 ko the llttlo Doy that tho cat got hold of, he didn't havo a word to say. Sinco his advent to tho University ho had boon talking in private about tno department to porsons who knew more about military affairs than ho did. Ho claimed Judgment on tho cliancollor f"r a foul tho chancellor had tackled him abovo tho belt line. Ho would suomlb however, for tho soldier must bo a bravo man. Like Hobson. ho must tako whatever comes his way. Tho speaker then changed to a ser ious mood and talked of the military dopartmont. Tho cadet corps, ho said, is in very good condition, con. sidering tho disadvantages of the past four years. Yet It is not In such good condition that it can not bo Im proved, and thereforo ho will begin work on it Immediately. He thon paid au elegant trlhnto to the memory of Colonel Stotsenberg and the rest of tho soldiers dead wiio loft the University four years ago, going from scenes of practice to sc enes of action. In Captain Smoko'B own words: "What Colonel Stotsen berg did we know and every state knows; every nation in the world knows and honors the First Nebraska Volunteers. Stotsenberg was shot In battle while charging tho onomy. He died a brave death. Wo weep not for him. Wo may drop a tear for the family which mourns his loss, but for him we havo only honor and ad miration. If there is, any suror road to a glorious immortality, 1 know not of it." Captain Smoke then asked tho ca dets to do honor to tho names of their dead, he asked the faculty to oo-operato with him In his work, and turning to Dr Androws. he said: "Mr Chancellor, I road the answer In the faces before mo, and I novo tho pleasure of saying in your pres ence that the military department of tho Universicy of Nebraska Is all right."
