The old chapel was comfortably filled last night by the audience which as sembled to near the second of Mr. John A. Hobson'a lectures before the department of economics and sociology. Mr. Hobson's subject last night was "England's Outlook In the New Cen tury." At present he considered Eng land to be losing Its long-time Indus trial leadership of tne world, and at the same time undergoing an aristo cratic reaction politically. For this condition of affairs various Influences were responsible, among them the moral, political and economic apathy consequent upon a long period of pros perity; the strife oetween capital and labor; the decline of agricultural Eng land and Its peasantry; and the fact that England had diverted Its energy into relatively unnatural lines of eco nomic activity. As remedies for England's decline there had been suggested at various times such remedial measures as adop tion of the protective idea, an Increase of Engllsn "efflclency" (a term diffi cult of definition), and reconstruction of English Industrial life. Mr. Hobson expressed himself as believing that the recovery of English strength and In fluence would come about through the revival of spiritual forces which al ready give evidence of awakening the national character to Its old-time ca pacity for progress, and through the readjustment of economic and Indus trial life to iho real natural conditions and resources of the British Isles. Mr. Hobson'a two lectures have been greatly appreciated by both University and town people, and the department of economics and sociology may con gratulate Itself upon securing such valuable contributions to the sociolog ical thought of the mid-west. From here Mr. Hobson goes to Chi cago University, where he will deliver a series of six lectures upon the same subject as last evening's address.

Armory - - Tickets 50c Manning Appears. The already bright outlook for a winning track team this year has been made even more flattering. Every University enthusiast will bo placed to learn of the latest acquisition of the track team manipulators. "Eddie" Manning reported for practice yester day and will enter .raining at once. Mr. Manning was captain of last year's victorious Lincoln high school track team. His long suit Is the two hundred-twenty and four hundred-forty yard runs, in which ho has not yet been defeated. In the Missouri valley meet last year he won these two events, and second in the one hundred jard dash. He also won the same events In the inter-scholastlc meet. He now holds the record for 220 and 440 yards In the Missouri valley, and te likely to continue to do so. Track team athletics certainly now bid fair to rival those of football. Second Practice Game. The second baseball practice game will bo played with Lincoln High School Thursday afternoon at 3:30. This is an annual event of consider able interest and well worth Booing. Another practice game will be played with the city Y. M. C. A. team Saturday afternoon. This will be the first show ing made by the organization and all will bo Interested in seeing what clasB of ball thoy play. Manager Bell an nounces that no admission will be charged to games until those with tho Qmafia league team take place. C. E. Brown, Dentist. Burr block. Flegenbaum's Pharmacy, 13th and O Eat at Hendry's, 129 North Eleventh. To get an Idea of the new styles In men's hats for this spring keep your eye on B. L. Palne's front case. The correct styles aro there. Now that Bprlng seems to have come at last It will bo of Interest to make a brief review of track team prospects. Never before In the history of the In stitution have there been so many candidates for the track team. The copious squad now numbers about forty-five. What makes conditions even more encouraging is that In this squad there are several old 'varsity men, among- them Martin, Tobln, States, Johnson, Corr, Mouck and Hewitt. Besides, the squad contains an abundanco of good material. There are a number of men who have been on various high school track teams and are sure to develop Into good men. Some of them already have a reputa tion, and afilllty to win a place on the ordinary 'varsity team. Wo have this year acquired another member of th'e famous Benedict family of athletes. Maurice has already made a rop as a member of last year's football team, and promises to rival his brothers in track work. Douglas, a man of con siderable experience, .has been showing up well with the weights. Of tho old men little needs to bo said, as they need' no Introduction. Captain Tobln has never been' been defeated in tho hammer throw. Tho long distance work of States Is well known. Martin Is a strong man behind the shot or disc. Johnson made ton feet four In tho polo vault "stunt" night before last, this being within three inches of the record which ho or Benedict will likely break before tho season Is over. To cap the climax, this unusually strong aggregation has the extremely good fortune to have as coach one whom Yale admits to be second to none In gymnastics In tho United States. Dr. Clapp has been a member of the Yale track team and now holds the pole-vault record at 11 feet 10V6 Inches. Besides being highly competent to In struct the men In their athletic train ing, he is a physician and has already been of considerable service in reducing sprains and bruises and caring for the physical condition of tho men In gen eral. To determine what sort of a physical director wo have, ono needs only to cite the wonderful growth which has been made In tho depart ment of men's athletics since ho came hero last fall. Now the only thing which stands In the way of our being able to this year compete with the big teams in track athletics is here It Is again "drill." That men cannot do track work and drill five times a week Is obvious. If compulsory soldiering ruins our success In track work this year, the already prevalent dislike for drill will surely develop Into a hatred. Just at present there appears to be no promiso of relief. Campus Gleanings. The Palladlans have challenged the Unions for a debate. Miss Anna Lord of Ulysses Is visit ing with friends at tho University this week. A. A. Steele, '08, is visiting in Lin coln and doing study and roforonce work at tho University. A number of students from Weoplng Water Academy were sightseolng about tho University campus Monday. Miss Lillian Tlmms is among the ab sent thlB week, being confined to her room by an attack of tho measles. John Brady has charge of a Baptist church at Nebraska City, and goeS there to hold services every Sunday. Victor Peterson went to Emerson yesterday to attend a meeting of tho Modern Woodmen, of which lodge ho Is a member. R. C. Lansing, '99, is spending tho spring vacation from his work in the Rock Falls, la., schools visiting with University friends. The baseball squad took advantage of the fine weather yesterday and on Joyed the best practice of tho season. The men were divided Into two teams and all were tried at their respective positions. Bender and Whltcomb took turns behind the bat, and Morris, Ru blsky, Longaenecker and Chase worked out In tho box. Stoen, Johnson and Ramsey played shortstop. Hood, Steen, Sprague, Whltcomb, Townsend, Burg and Bender are credited with scores. Burg knocked a home run and Town send a couple of three-baggerB. Under the more favorable conditions that have existed for the last few days, Townsond's coltB aro beginning to show up much better, and the person nel of tho team Is rapidly becoming more apparent. Positions in the out field are still somewhat In doubt. It is expected that Bell, captain '02, will soon be on the fiold to play bis old posi tion. If such is the case, the field work and batting of the team wllfbo greatly strengthened. Local fans aro much disapointed about the decision of tho registrar in regard to Boltzor, the star pitcher, but his position is supported by all. The material at hand for the box, although good, would be greatly strengthened by the addition of a man with Beltzer's reputation and ability, but the registrar's decision Is final. H. Cronch departed early Tuesday for Flatlron, S. D., to enter upon his duties as superintendent of the cyanide mills at that place. MIbscb Maywood Schreiber and Lola Tlllotson of Omaha aro visiting in the city, the guests of Miss Emma and Mr. Arthur Schreiber, of the University. W. R. Buchanan, manager of the law base ball team, has been confined to his room for tho paBt two weeks, but is now rapidly recovering from his illness. Miss Claro Fowle, '02, now teaching In tho Mlnden high schools, is visiting with her parents in the city and with University friends during her spring vacation. Mrs. J. W. Beaver of Omaha is the guest of Miss Barr of tho physical training department. Her husband, Dr. J. W. Seaver, is one of the leading au thorities on physical training in the country, being one of the directors of the Yale gymnasium. Word was received from. Professor Allen yesterday to tho effect that ho cannot be hero to lecture before tho students of philosophy and education on April Gth, but will come about April 13th. An announcement as to tho oxact dato will be made In due time. Yesterday evening closed this year's active service of the young-men's aloak room In the basement of University hall. It will be open to general use for coat and lunch purposes, but no one in particular will be In charge, and coats, etc., will be left there wholly on the owners' responsibility. Tho young ladles' cloak room in library hall will retain Its present service until Easter. Have C. A. Tucker, Jeweler, 1123 O, fix it. Let the Lincoln Transfer Co. haul your trunks. 'Phono 176. Little Gem hot waflles served at the Merchants' Cafe, 117 North 13th St. We hae a large student patronage. Tho class basket ball controversy will be decided at a meeting of the class athletic board to be Held Friday in tho physical director's office. AH indications point to (he game being played over. Thls contest will certain ly be a profitable one from a financial point of view, because the Interest that has been aroused-over the matter will undoubtedly call out a very large crowd.
