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!).
Oalues holds tho record in tho high
jump, tho running broaa, tho 120
hurdle race and is a pionnslng can
didate for iirst place in the contest.
Kollogg hold3 tho pole-vault record,
tho fonce-vault record and tho mod
al for the out-door contest of 11)01.
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.

First Appearance Before the
Students Meets with Hearty
Reception. The Military
Department.
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."
