The two gameH vrill be played at Hardon Street park, one this afternoon, and he second, Thursday afternoon, the learn returning home Thursday night. The prospects for the 'varsity win ning either of the games Is rather slim, but local supporters expect the home team to hold down the league to a low score. The series of games played in Lincoln resulted in three successive victories for the visitors, the scores being 11 to 3. 9 to 4 and ! to 9. Neithir team exerted itself any mor: than was necessary and it is expected that the conditions will necessitate swilter playing than was done in Lin coln The line-up will be practically the same. The first real game of the season will be played Saturday afternoon with the Nebraska Indians, and everyone should make it a point to come out. The In dians have the reputation of being swift ball players and there Is every prospect for an interesting game. As the game is played on Saturday, it should be convenient for most people to attend and show their interest in the team. The baud will be out in full force to lend Its attractions to the oe 1 nsion. Kiev en new baseball suits, neat and dean, arrived last night to make the hearts of Captain Bell's colts happy. The suits, which will be worn for the first time in the game with the In dians, are of a gray color, with the word Nebraska on the blouse in red. The suits are made from the very best material and made up by the boat workmanship. Manager Shldler has spared no pains in seeing that the team is properly "suited"thls season. tary, prepare a program and summon a conference at Lincoln. Through Dr. Hlnman a very creditable program was prepared and the conference met at the Congregational church about a week ago.

A permanent organiza tion was determined upon and n board of managers was elected. It is composed of tho following: Chan cellor 12. II. Andrews, President Geo. Suthreland of Grand Island college, Professor Fairchild of Doane college. Rev. N.-M. Mann of Omaha and W. G. Whltmore.

At the meeting of the managers held last week at the Lincoln hotel It was decided that the state organiza tion would not as yet affiliate with tho national organization and that at present the work would be done through the religious organizations now in existence. The first thing to be taken up will be reform in Sunday school instruction by basing it more on psychological and pedagogic prin Biples. Chancellor Andrews is certainly to be congratulated on the success of the mm ement.

This Is a part of a national move ment to better the religious training of children. Its officers are in Wash ington, D. C. Last fall President G. 13.

Professor Hruner of the depart ment of entomology reports a very successful trip into Central America. He and Mr. Carey left that country March 3lBt and arrived here last week. A large collection of birds and insects were brought back. About 200-fine specimens of birds, insects, and about 150 reptiles together with a number of botanical specimens were collected by the party.

It is rumored that the Nebiaska rvansaB debate may bo taken to Oma ha, The debate between Nebraska and Colorndo did not secure the neces sary support from the students and faculty members, and for finonclnl reasotis,- the coming contest of April 25 may take place In Omaha. When asked regarding the rumor an officer of the debating association said: "We have not definitely decided on such a plan. The scheme was men tioned and favorably talked of after tho result of the Colorado was known. Crelghton college, where debating Is well supported, would no doubt be mighty glad to take charge of the ar rangements and pay the expenses of both teams, but so long as the stu dents of the university are inclined to lend aid to the proposition, the de bate will take place In Lincoln While we were disappointed with the sup port received at the last debate, we are not willing to take these contests away from the university. The de bates are not money-making schemes; they are strictly university affairs, Just as much so as foot-ball and base ball. If the students and members of the faculty will not give their mor al and financial support the members of the association are determined to make these debates a success, even if it Is necessary to make up for any deficiency." Tho debating association has cer tainly done good work The few mem bers have given their time and be- j come personally responsible for debts contracted In order that these Inter state debates may take place. It Is now time for the university students to do their share of tho work. to erect a substantial backstop, one hundred and twenty feet long, at the south end of the tennis courts.

Costa Rica has Invaluable recources in this line though it la but one-third the size of the state of Nebraska. The strength of this statement is born out by the fact that while in this state there are but two kinds of humming birds, in Cosat Rica there are about sixty-six. Tho disproportion of other kinds of birds is almost equally great. Tho country is therefore a fertile field for tills kind of work. Spencer V.
