Base Bail Candidates Appear on
- Diamond. The Future.
At last the baseball men and track
athletes have Ueen permitted to leave
the cage and gymnasium and begin
training in $$ open air. 'Last year the
men were out two weeks earlier than
this. Nevertheless better preparation
has betn made inside than usual and
h$Mfact wjll at least partially offset
theln&nc bs of beginning.
Tbo showing made yesterday on the
"baseball field was very gratifying.
) JAbdut thirty candidates were out be
' tween 3 an4 5 and an excellent prelim
inary practice was held. This number
is large for the first day, especially
considering the suddenness with which
the field was dried up by yesterday's
wind. Many more are oxpected to ap
pear today if the weather permits. As
A whole the squad showed up well.
The fielders were kept at work catch
ing flics and about half the-men were
rledbqt at the bat All the pitchers
And catchers were given a chance to
.show their ability. A small crowd of
spectator occupied the bleachers.
As to the outlook, from the stand
point of the number of old men back,
it Is not. as flattering by any means
as it was.'last year. Only three old
men were out yesterday. But the bat
tery candidates aTe in unusually good
condition and can do hard work from
the start: There is an abundance of
new material and much of it showed up
in good shape yesterday. Coach Gor
don was especially well pleased with
the way in which the men wielded the
"bat. Wilson, Whitcomb and Johnson
. did nice work in this respect. Chase,
Morse and Beltzer showed up partlcu-
p larly "yell in the box, as did Wilson,
. Bender 'and Whitcomb behind, the bat.
Some good fielding was also done. In
" ileld work will T)egln as soon as the
.field can be placed in condition. The
north fence, was 'torn down yesterday
and the east fence and bleachers will
likely be removed today.
Among "those baseball men who re
ported were the following: Captain
Townsend, Bender, Hood, Shetaer,
f BelWer, Thompson, Wright, Sampson,
Wilson, Morse; Chase, Whitcomb,

The Minnesota Dally says of the
Minnesota-Nebraska game of the 7th:
"Saturday night, at the armory, the
Minnesota team defeated the Nebraska
team by tho decisive score of 41 to 14.
In some respects it was an unusual
game. Probably there was never a
basket ball game played upon tho arm
ory floor In which there were so many
baskets made by long and dlfllcult
hotfl. Three of the four baskets made
by Nebraska were of this sort and
brought out prolonged applause from
the crowd. Tho visitors played Indi
vidually in good form, but were look
ing in the fine points of team work,
only a very few times djd they Bhow
first-class team work. Elliot and Bene
dict, who played forward, did fine work,
and Hoar, who was guarding Deerlng,
stuck to him like a leach, never for a
moment even leaving him unguarded.
He played one of the best guard games
ever seen upon the armory floor.
Of the individual work of the Min
nesota men nothing but good wordB
can be said. But their team work de
serves the sharpest criticism. T.h'e
guardB, especially, neglected, their first
duty, that of guarding their otfri bas
ket, to $et down the field and p)ay for-
yard and shoot baskets for themselves.
It 'was this tendency of Minnesota's
guardB that was Responsible for 'eight
out. of the fourteen points made byjthe
visitor."

Kansas and Nebraska Preparing
for Debating Bout.
At Kansas tho coming Kansas-Nebraska
debate Is, according to word re
ceived at the executive office, arousing
great excitement. Word comes that the
university faculty as well as students
are tout to help thrash last year's
champion; that the faculty are largely
taking hold of the work; that a pro
fessor In tho law school Is giving espe
cial assistance In coaching the team;
and that tho students are going to join
In cheering through to victory.
Here at Nebraska the interstate
squad is now beginning to center at
tention on tho Kansas debate, which
comeB first this year. The compulsory
arbitration squad flndB Its question
considerably more tractable than does
tho truBt squad, where the field to be
covered Is necessarily much broader.
That the Kansas-Nebraska debate
will be held on April 10 Is practically
settled. That was the original date
proposed by Kansas. Nebraska was
not able then, on account of arrange
ments for other debates, to accept the
Invitation to visit Lawrence on that
date; but arrangements have slnco
been almost completed which will allow
Nebraska tQ go on that date instead of
March 31, tho other date proposed.
