Drill Requirements Threaten the Success of Base Ball. Inside Again. Wednesday's Evening News con tained the following Item on University athletics: There Is considerable complaint among some of the freshmen and sophomore candidates for the team on account of the fact that the command 'nt hna lBBued the decree that no one Will bo excused from drill In order to play ball. It has always been the custom to let the baseball candidates off from their military obligations as Boon as time for outdoor work rolled arqund, but under the new regime it u cnoTTia thnt It In not to be thus Some arrangement will hae to be made, however, as the men cannot drill at the samo time they are working out for the team, as they would have to be off the field by 4:30, and that Ib the time they are most needed there. The same item reached The Nebras kan Wednesday afternoon through Its regular news channels, but was "side tracked" for the purpose of discover ing whether the complaint had any real justification or not. Early this morning a Nebraskan reporter was Bent out with the Item to discover what tho various panics concerned had to say on the matter. From the executive office It was leartie'a-thjftt the responsibility for the "compulsory drill" order iested with Commandant Chase, who was entitled to Interpret the government's orders either for or against the exception of athletic candidates from drill, as he saw fit Dr. Clapp. when Interviewed, ex pressed his belief that the baseball .men ought to be excused from drill, and Bald that such was the custom In practically all other Institutions of as size and Importance. He asked, now over, that any consideration of the subject In the paper be for the present postponed, as he did not desire to in any way appear to criticize the com mandant's decision, although he hoped to change it before long by the presen tation of persuasive statistics on the subject. An attempt to secure an Interview with Commandant ChaBe during the morning and afternoon was an en tiro failure, owing to his absence from the- offlco until near drill time, but at 8 o'clock last night a reporter final ly located him at his rooms at the hotel. Tho commandant rewarded the reporter's diligent Inqulsltlveness, how over, with the assertion that It was bedtime, and he would give the neces sary details "tomorrow." No explanation has therefore been . ..lj n tltto rnthor rnrllpfll yet ouutiucu ivi iw . ... 23 departure from the precedent of many years and many Institutions, me uase ball interests are not yet in any excited state of mind over the commandant's attitude, for tho reason that they hope fto will soon see the necessity of ex emption from drln If Nebraska Js to havd a winning nine, and will do all ie an to aid them In their struggle afgainst rather adverse circumstances Of weather and material. In this hope it la unnecessary to say that all sup- . porters 6f" University athletics slncere- Join. Inclement weather confined the base ball and track men to their Indoor haunts again yesterday, after two days' practice outside. The old program was followed out. and battery candidates took a work out in the cage. The bleachers and east fence were torn down yesterday, and will be stored away today. It Is very likely the men will bo unable to get out again this week. Another damp, stormy spell has net In. and the baseball field is now In bad condition It would seem that Nebiaska athletics are doomed to be seriously handicapped this spring by i)m iiH'ipmpnrv of the weather. Un less a change takes place soon, the men will begin to get desperate. Over In Iowa the baseball squad has been doing regular work outside for some time. The same thing is true at other unhersltles. Last year the personnel of our team was very apparent by the middle of March. When the men do get nn opportunity to get in shape, some haid work must be done if the team of '03 is to be a winning one. Every man will hac to get Into the game for all he Is worth and rapid deelopment must take place. Society Programs To-Night. DcltniiN.
