Victims.
Nebraska had an off day Friday and
the second Kansas gamp nearly result
ed in a defeat. Over-confidence and
some bad errors by the boys combined
with an improvement in the playing of
the Kansas men. was the cause. The
dust and wind which prevailed made
good ball playing impossible, and it
is not to be wondered at that the
game was not a better exhibition of
baseball than it was. Kansas started
the game with Townsend in the box
for Nebraska, but nothing was accom
plished In the first inning. Maltby. who
played right field in the Thursday
game, pitched lor the Jayhawkers, and
succeeded in putting out the first three
Cornhuskers who came to the bat.
Townsend struck out two men in the
second, the other going out on a fly
to Rhodes, and Bender came to bat for
Nebraska. Both he and Gaines retired
on (lies to third base, and then by a
series of safe hits Townsend. De Put
ion and Raymond scored, Coi'telyou
dying on third base, the result of a ball
from Hood who was late in getting to
first. Kansas took a lead in third, be
cause of an attempt at grandstand
playing on Nebraska's part, that re
sulted in an error. Three scores fol
lowed before the inning was over.
When Kansas retired in the sixth, the
score stood 10-5, in favor of Kansas,
and the bell-ringers realized that it
was to them to do something, and be
fore De Putron went out on a grounder
to third, seven men had crossed the
home plate amid much excitement.
Kansas scored two in the next inning,
making the score even. Raymond and
Oortelyou added two more for Nebras
ka in the seventh, and Kansas equalled
it in the eighth, but Townsend made
the final score in the latter half of the
same, and Kansas, failing to do any
thing in the ninth, Nebraska retired
with the honors. Several In
excusable errors were made by the
home team, caused principally by an
attempt to do spectacular playing be
fore the grandstand. Such work Is
not baseball and never meets the ap
proved of the spectators.

HIGHLAND PARK BEATEN.
The baseball team left Saturday
morning at five o'clock on its eastern
trip that will cover a period of over
two weeks. The first game was played
Saturday afternoon with Highland
Park at Des Moines, Iowa, and in spite
of reverses for the Cornhuskers. result
ed in a score of fi-1. In their favor.
In the third inning Doane. who was
doing the catching, retired with a split
thumb, and as Bender had missed the
train in the morning. It was irecessary
to fill the position from the field.
Rhodes gave up his position as short
stop to Townsend in order to play be
hind the bat, and Bell came In to sec
ond leaving his place In the field for
Letherby.
In spite of the fact that the boys
were unaccomstomed to playing in
these positions, they were able to thor
oughly defeat their opponents. Ben
der arrived In time to catch the last
three Innings. Highland Park has a
team with an enviable reputation, and
that the Cornhuskers were able to suc
cessfully cope with them In spite of
misfortunes, proves more than ever the
superiority of the Bell colts.
Battery Gaines, Doane, Rhodes,
Bender.
The team plays Iowa university today.

PLAY IS A SUCCESS
Oollogo Sottlcmont Entertainmont DrawB
a Orowdod Houso. Audienoo
Woll Pleasod with tho
Production.
A crowded house greeted the presen
tation of the play "A Pair of Spec
tacles" at the Oliver theater Friday
evening. The extensive advertising of
the two talented players, Coach Walter
C. Booth and Miss Alice Howell, serv
ed to draw out a large audience. Those
who attended were loud In their praise
of the entire entertainment.
The awkwardness so often Been In
amateur performances was hardly ap
parent ininy of the situations, so care
fully had the rehearsals been carried
out, and so well was the entire cast
trained. The board feelB greatly un
der obligations to Miss Howell for her
efforts In supervising the details of the
production and in training those who
participated.
The play was Sydney Grundy's
charming comedy made famouB by the
English actor, John Hare. Coach Booth
had the part taken by Mr. Hare, that
of Benjamin Goldfinch. Miss Howell
appeared as Mrs. Goldfinch.
The comedy element centers In the
trials of Benjamin Goldfinch, a retired
London merchant of a most open
hearted and unsophisticated nature.
He is enjoying life In all kinds of
charitable work when his brother,
v-regory, appears on the scene and per
suades him that people are simply
working him. Having borrowed a pair
of spectacles from Gregory, Benjamin
sees everything from tho standpoint of
the former. He charges everyone with
dishonesty. Finding his love letters
In his wife's desk and not recognizing
the mark "his letters," believes ho has
unearthed a scandal. His son Percy
comes in for a share of the suspicion,
as also his nephew Dick. Benjamin
finally recovers his own spectacles and
sees things normally. The complica
tions of three acts are finally adjusted
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Delbert Gibson had the role of Greg
ory and Claude Davis .that of Dick. In
the scenes with his father, Mr. Davis
utilized the opportunity for some
clever comedy and did a subtle bit
of acting. The part of Percy was in
the hands of Fred J. Kelly, a popular
member of the senior class "who has
figured in other productions of the
dramatic talent of the university. Miss
Gladys Henry plays Lucy Lorimer, H.
Gladys Henry played Lucy Lorimer, H.
C. Fllley, the part of Joyce, butler to
Goldfinch, and Alvin Gilbert, Bartho
lomew, Goldfinch's shoemaker. Mrs.
Addle J. Jennings as Charlotte,
R. C. Powers as Percy's shoemaker,
and Fred Ptah as Lorimer, complete
the cast.
Ea'ch part was exceedingly well ren
dered and grent credit Is due to those
who took part. Coach Booth won a
large -remount of applause by his ex
cellent Interpretation of "Undo Ben
jamin's" character. The work of Miss
Howell ns Mrs. Goldfinch was also
of a high order and showed much abil
ity and experience.
