LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1902.
PRICE THREE CENTS,
A fINAL RATE IS MADE
Railroads Combine on Rates to
St. Joe No Haskell Game
at Omaha Scrubs
Score Again.
Definite arrangements have been
made for a joint excursion by the B. &
M. and M. P. railroads to the Missouri
game next Saturday. The rate now
stands at $2.95 and there seems little
chance of It being lowered because of
the railroad combine. The excursion
ist; will leave Lincoln on the Burling
ton and return via the Missouri Pa
cific. The exact time for going and
returning has not yet been determined.
Although the rate Is not as cheap as
might be hoped for. still It Is ery
reasonable and it will probably be the
last chance to see a game away from
Lincoln. The announcement made In
yesterday's issue that the Haskell
game would take place in Omaha was
a mistake. Manager Engel has
scheduled no game at Omaha and the
talk about sii'-h a game was duo to the
- efforts of the Omaha papers to get a
; game there. There is a slight possi
bility of the Knox game being played
there on the 15th, but unless changes
wo made In the schedule it will be
played on the home grounds.
The scrubs lined up against the 'var
sity last night and succeeded in cross
ing their goal line after a straight
hard run of 65 yards around the end.
Morris, quarterback for the scrubs, did
the work, and further distinguished
himself by some pretty tackling. Cap
tain Westover then urged his men to
play better football and they did.
Later In the practice the ball was
pushed to the scrubs' 25-yard llqe and
Benedict kicked a goal from the field,
the ball passing squarely between the
posts.
Bender did not appear in the scrim
mage. His side still troubles him and
he will not line up until the Missouri
game. His place at right half was
creditably filled by Ehglehart, who
made a touchdown. Shedd, who was
injured in the Minnesota game, played
his position during part of the prac
tice, after which Follmer went in.
Thorpe played the other end after
Cortelyou went out.
The scrubs are playing good foot
ball. The way they go after the 'var
sity Is Indeed admirablet and their ef
forts have much to do with our success
on the gridiron.
BASKET BALL.
Prospects for a good basket ball
team are growing better. While no
old men are back, several freshmen
who have played on high school teams
aro showing up well and last year's
second team men nre doing good work.
Fifteen men reported for practice
Tuesday and throe teams were made
up. The first team was composed of
the following names: Ferguson,
Myers, Elliot, Beers and Sampson.
Each of the other two teams lined up
against them during the practice hour
and some good playing was done by
both Bides. Captain Hewitt, who has
been kept from practicing on account
of rheumatism, watched the game from
the side fines.
The girls began to practice basket
ball yesterday. A lively practice was
engaged In and some good playing
done.
Academy Notes.
This morning at 10 the young ladles
of the Lincoln Academy will hold a
rally. The conditions for the two
basket ball teams will be made. About
twelve of the young ladles have al
ready joined these teams and more
are applying. The suits have been
made by a Lincoln dressmaker and
are now ready for the team. The city
Y. W. C. A. gymnasium and shower
baths have been engaged for the sea
son for the use of the basket ball play
ers. At the rally Mrs. Hodgman will
also present her plans for a social hour
club for the young ladles. The club

ly become students of the university.
Tho football game between the
sophomore team and the Lincoln
Academy, which was postponed Tues
day, will be played off today.
Parties from Webster county who

geological survey, asking for old for
the prosecution of their work. Immense
sums of money are being Bpent this
I year in prospecting.
THEY DO WELL IN TENNIS
Nebraska Players Give Southern
ers Strong. Opposition
Wright Brings Back
a Trophy.
In the tri-state tennis meet at Law
rence last week Wright, Nebraska,
won first place In singles, but, to
gether with Tyner, lost to Kansas In
doubles. Missouri was unplaced. Tho
defeat of Feltshaus, the crack player
of the Kansas University, came as a
big surprise to the Kansas men. Since
Nebraska had lost both of her fast
men of last years team, Farnsworth
and Failor, Feltshaus was confidently
picked for the winner by tho Kansas
papers. Wright, however, clearly out
classed him and defeated him handily.
The result of this tournament keeps
the championship of the middle west
at Nebraska, where It has been held
by Farnsworth for the last three years.
The prizes for the tournament were
donated by Kansas City and Lawrence
firms and were as follows:
First prize Phonograph, with rec-
liWWWUZBSG&AS&a
ords, valued at ?35; won by Wright,
Nebraska.
Second prize Silver loving cup; won
by Plerson, Kansas.
Consolation prize DresB suit case;
won by Feltsaus, Kansas.
Prizes for place In doubles "Plm"
racket and silver loving cup; won by
Plerson and Feithaus, Kansas.
Farnsworth at Cornell.
Nebraska Is showing up in the east
as well as In the west. Earle E.
Farnsworth Is becoming known at Cor
nell In tennis, and from the clipping
taken from tho Buffalo Express he
stands a good show of holding an en
viable position in that Institution:
"Other things besides football have
been engrossing the attention of the
Cornell undergraduates of late. Some
200 aspirants for the championship
f medals In tennis have been laboriously
struggling toward tho finals in the
tournament which will round up next
week. Interest In this branch of sport
has increased greatly at Cornell of
late, and some excellent players are
being developed. It now begins to look
as if the final would be captured by
E. E. Farnsworth, who entered Cornell
from the University of Nebraska ond
In the west held the championship of
three states.
"Farnsworth has easily defeated all
opponents thus far, and President
Whitemore of tho tennis club regards
him as an export."
Mr. Farnsworth has been ono of
Nebraska's fastest players for tho last
four years. Ho holds tho tri-stato
championship In singles and other
honors In doubles. He was managor
of the University Tennis association
from 1900 to 1902. His playing capa
bilities are well recognized by play
ers here and friends will be pleased to
learn of his present success. .
New Physical Director.
Dr. Clapp haB arrived and has as
sumed charge of tho physical educa
tion department. Ho has been de
tained from his work on account of
Illness and Mr. Lane, his assistant,
has taken his place.
The University compllmentB Itself
on having secured so able a man as
Dr. Clapp. The authorities have long
been trying to secure his services ttTftt
now congratulate themselves on their
success. With regard to his ability
and knowledge of gymnasium work, it
suffices to say that Yale admits that
ho is second to none.
With Dr. Clapp, Mr. Lane and Miss
Barr at tho head of the physical edu
cation department it bids fair to be
come ono of tho strong departments
in the University.
Dr. Clapp holds the world's record
in pole vaulting at 11 feet 10.5 inches,
and many remember the exhibition ho
gavo here In this feat in 1900. He Is
a graduate of Yale and also of tho
Keokuk Medical School at Keokuk,
Iowa, and has had four years' experi
ence in teaching gymnastics.
Mr. Lane is a graduate of the Cha
tauqua School of Physical Education
In New York and has attended tho
Geneva Y. M. C. A. training school in
Wisconsin. Ho has been engaged in
teaching for seven years at tho Waco
Y. M. C. A. and a blind institute in
Austin, Texas.
Gymnasium work will take on now
life and promises to be raised to a
higher standard than ever before.
Siphomores vs. Academy.
The sophomore class football team
and the Academy eleven will lino up
against each other this afternoon, at
3 o'clock. The "sophs" have been go
ing through steady practice in the
lost two weeks and with good material
feel they can whip anybody their size.
The Academy eleven wants to rub
up against a good thing and have beon
gla t(P schedule he game. They put
up a good game considering their ex
perience. The game will bo finished
before the regular 'varsity practice.
The g&me scheduled between Penn
sylvania and Chicago has been called
off on account of the distance to be
traveled to bring the teams together.
Interest in class athletics is growing.
Four class teams practiced yejgprday
at chapel time and some sittd class
games are expected to take Be soon,
At Nebraska and Minnesota they
have an assembly every morning. Tnia
would seem tos bo a good deal of a
good thing. Tho Pally Iowan.
