CARNIVAL AT HAND
Faculty Sprightly and Active for
This Afternoon's Event.
This afternoon the faculty will ralae
tholr standards to the skies and mjike
tho athletic field the scene of a noble,
grand. Imposing pageant, Including In
its entirely all of the whirl of the mid
way r,nd all tho excitement of valorous
and stout-limbed warriors striving dil
Igontly for tho mastery In various
athletic events; and even as an angry
cow pursues a venturesome canine and
drives it howling forth from the con
fines of her domains, will our beloved
and respected professors range up and
down the field in a wild effort to bring
death and destruction to all that may
come In their way, caring little upon
whom they may leave their Impress
juBt as long as they succeed in leav
ing any at all, and when tho smoke of
battle haa cleared away from the earli
er strifes then will certain grave and
dignified members of the faculty don
tholr pads and mits and take up their
bats In an honest effort to show the
public what a baseball game Is like;
while sandwiched in between a num
ber of Important events will be a fool
ball game In which blood and broken
limbs will be the predominating fea
tures; all these things will happen this
afternoon In the presonce of the multi
tudes In the grandstand and non-par-tlclpatlng
members of the faculty lined
up along tho wire fence In their Sun
day clothes, ready to hoot their rivals
In their own departments and applaud
when thoy meet injury or disgrace.
The faculty have granted a half holi
day to the students, and we would be
guilty of tho basest Ingratitude If we
do not appreciate their kindness
and como out and watch them per
form. All tho ponaltles provided be
fore are still In effect and better means
will be found for enforcing them. Any
studont who Is not able to tell his in
structors wherein they excelled at this
event will receive no credit for his se
mester's work; for his inability to
como up to expectations win be taken
as evidence that ho did not attend.
Through the kindness of one of the
faculty wo are enabled to present to
our readers the program that Includes
so many soul-stirring events.
To begin there will general exer
cises in tho Midway, just inside the
gate. Thore will bo a weight guessing
contest In which Professors Ross and
Thompson will use their enormous rea
soning powers alitl Imagination, In
seeing which can come nearest the
mark. The Bcales to bo instrumental
in this combat of science and Intellect
will stand upon a mound, so that -none
of the faculty will bo making thera
bcIvcb troublesome by climbing on to
got weighed. Tho electric woman will
bo there In all her glory, ready to do
marvels. There will bo nigger babies,
but whether they are to kiss or throw at
wo havo not been informed. Tho for
mer attraction would draw better. Can
dles, peanuts, pop corn and chewing
gum will bo on sale, but the sale of
intoxicating drinks will not bo al
lowed. Dr. Bolton has some hair rais
ing cabinet tricks of such a character
as to fill us with all such an abiding
fooling of awo and superatltutlon that
wo will all be afraid to venture out
alono nfter dark for several weeks to
como.
Professor Clapp will give an exhibi
tion of magic tricks that will bo well
worth seeing, being of gonulno merit,
and he will be abundantly able to make
ub wonder as to how on earth It's all
dono, anyhow.
Thon will como tho baseball game
the game that will decido tho cham
pionship of the world. Professors
Barber and Clements have shown high
qualities of courage and daring In con
senting to act as umpires, but they
Ijave refused to ghe out the personel
of their bodyguard, although It is ex
pected that tue Lincoln police will be
on hand to help, as they are accus
tomed to act conspicuously at carni
vals. Professor Spencer's team will line
up as follows:
Fogg, p.; Loveland, ss.; Votaw, 2b.;
Condra, c. ; Spencer, lb.; Barker, c. f.;
ane, 3.b; Dean, 1. f. ; Hinman, r. f.
Dr. Ward's line-up is given out as
being subject to changes, but It looks
like the following:
Heald. p ; Bar leer, ?s. ; Ward, 2l).;
Mellck. c; II. R. Smith, lb.; Caldwell,
c. f. ; Candy, 3b.; Persinger, 1. f. ; and
F. W. Smith, r. f.
Dr. Barbour and Max Wcstermann
will be on hand to fill any gaps that
may occur and assure the success of
the game.
There will be a large number of
races. Dr. Pound and Pi of essor Taylor
will raiEe clouds of dust In a madcap
chape down the field to the goal post,
and according to the present arrange
ments, the first over the line will be de
claicd the winner. They will go around
the grounds twice and then proceed
to fight it with wheelbarrows.
The walking race will be an Inspir
ing event, In which Doctors Davis.
Luckey and Engberg (?) will show
amazing vigor in covering ground, al
though it is feared that the Humane
Society may find grounds to interfere
for tho prevention of cruelty. A sack
race will be fought out among Profes
bors Emerson and Bolton and Dr. Eng
kcig. The winner of this race will be
allowed to keep IiIr Eack for his pains
An obstacle lace and a hobby borbe
i ace are also scheduled.
And now the wheelbarrow race. This
will be a grand event and the price of
admission Is worth It alone. Each of
tho participants has acquired superhu
man skill In handling a wheelbarrow,
and has been chasing pedestrians on
the back streets of Lincoln for the
past two weeks and bringing home gro
ceries for their wives and running up
grocery bills Just for the sake of hav
ing something to do. Tho multitudes
will gaze with bated breath at the six
champions as they line up this after
noon in their gladitorial suits. In this
event Professors Sweezy, Hodgman,
Miller, Dann, Chatburn and French
will take part. They all report them
selves in good condition, although ex
planatory complaints of headaches,
corns, disabled limbs, etc., will be pre
valent after the race is over.
Just before going to pross last night
we heard that there was to be a hammer-throwing
contest. Professors Ross
and Caldwell, we understand, will
handle the Instruments, and wiie net
ting will be stretclfed along In front
of the grandstand to prevent any of
the speptatorB being decupitated
through an error in judgment on tho
part of one of the contestants In direct
ing his Instrument. An account of tills
gieat event will be Incorporated In the
next edition of Professor Caldwell's
"History of the United States," and
future historians, In reaL.ng this ac
count will doubtless wonder If the
witness of this event was. entirely un
biased. And the horse tho high school horse
that has passed through all tho grades
of experience and now stands at the
top of tho list In the higher branches
of education. Professor Taylor will
manage two accomplished horses, and
put them through a quiz that will
bring out all tholr good points In ex
cellent Btyle. One of these "Prince"
Is a magnificent specimen of an ani
mal, being a one-half bred Cleveland
Bay roadster and coach horse. He will
do tho side step and describe circles
and plrouteo like a ballet dancer. He
will also show on a fancy gallop, al
ternating from right to left.
"Dandy," the other, Is one-half bred
roadster, and is also an accomplished
side-stepper. Describing circles and
plrouetlng are also on the list of bis
attainments, and he will perform the
Spanish walk, the flguro 8 and the enke
walk. This event will be genuinely
fine, and will bo one of tho most en
tertaining features on the day's pro
gram. The football gamo will be a terrific
contest, from which no one is expected
to emerge unimpaired in mind and
body. Judging from reports that both
sides are circulating concerning their
strength, after the kick-off they will
mix up In tho middle of tho field with
shoulders locked and stay there until
sundown, as we can not flguro out, on
paper at least, how one side can expect
to budge the other. We havo reached
this conclusion becauso the word of a
faculty member Is too sacred to be
doubted. Dr. Condra and Oeorgo Shedd
will settle the Issue with the boxing
gloves If the score results in a tie. Fol
lowing Is the line-up:
Condra. Shedd.

Votaw r, g Dorman
Aylsworth 1. g Sheldon
Almy, Feo r. t Morltz
Hanna It Engberg
Evans r. o Pound
Congdon 1. e Cook

WIN SPLENDID GAME.
Seniors Overcome Juniors by a
S ore of 6 to 0.
The first game of the inter-class
championship series was played yester
day afternoon before as large and en
thusiastic a crowd as ever watched a
class game.
The final score was 6 to 0 in favor
of the Seniors. They had tho hotter
of the game most of tho time, although
the Juniors showed surprising strength
at times and kept things pretty Inter
esting throughout. Tho score was
made about tho middle of tho second
half, Myers making the touchdown by
a 10-yard run through right tackle.
For tho Seniors Vaaoy and Newton
in the line played an excellent gamo.
Burdette Lewis at center also played
a pietty good gamo for a man unused
to the science of football. All three
of the back field men, Elliott, MacDon
ald and Myers, did excellent work, rip
ping off from 3 to 10 yards almost
every time, they were called on.
I undln was the best ground gainer
for the Juniors, and Gould, quarter
back, returned punts In nlco shape.
'1 he game had boon diligently pushed
by Harrison, manager of the Senior
team, and Beers, manager of the Ju
niors. Caps for the winning team are al
leady assured as nearly enough to buy
them was made at the game yesterday.
The Seniors carried the ball most of
the time, while the Juniors often lost
It on downs. The Senior goal was not
in danger at any time and thoy feel
that they can keep It from being
crossed t!.ls season. They feel ,qultc
encouraged and are anxious to eat up
the winners of tho rreshman-Sopho-more
game. -
Tho time of the two halves woh
twenty minutes.
Cy Mason and Stein alternated as
referee apd umpire.
Glee Club Business Meeting
The Glee club held its regular week
ly business meeting In U. 107 Tuesday
evening, followed by a rehearsal. The
only Important matter taken up was
concerning suits. Final consideration
of it was deferred until neit mooting.
Tho citizens of Lincoln are beginning
to take an interest In i.ie club, as a
number of thorn were present as audi
ence at Tuesday evening's rehearsal.
Laundry Club at the Co-Op.
OFF FOR KANSAS
Team Left This Morning for the
Home of the Jayhawkers.
Word came from Kansas at about 10
u lock yesterday morning thnt they
hud waived tholr protest and tho gamo
would bo played.
So after a lengthy and unpleasant
buslneHS with the Kansas authorities
all is In readiness for the t,ame.
Kansas showed a very unploasaut
face by refusing to accept the verdict
rendered by our athletic board when
the churge was preferred against the
players It Is customary 'o accept,
tho opinion of such a boaid and r.iaily
all Universities and colleges recognize
this fact.
The team left at 9:15 this morning
over the Missouri Pacific road. They
will spend the night In Kansas City
and go on to Lawrence Saturday.
Tho excursion leaves over the Union
Pacific tonight nt 11 o'clock. The
round trip will be $3.00.
For those desiring sleepers thero
will he four tourists' sleepers attached
to the train. Tho rates for berths will
probably be $1.00 each way. So one
can go there and back In a sleeper for
$5.00, a very reasonable amount.
The band goes to Kansas and with
the assistance of the large squad of
rooterB which will go, will be nble to
give the Jayhawkers a lesHon or two In
the art of rooting.
The practice last night was short
and comparatively light. All the men
were out, excepting Cotton, who has
been on the sick llBt for the pasl week.
There was no line-up against tho
Scrubs. Signal practice only was
gone through, but this was full of life
and strength.
Tho team goes to Kansas with tho
support of tho student body behind It.
We send them there to win and wo
know they will. When they return
let every one who possibly can be at
tho stntlon to welcome them and show
that wo are Interested and appreciate
what they aro doing for tho University.
Hurt in Gymnasium.
While playing basket ball yesterday
evening In the gymnasium Antone Lott
received an Injury that rendered him
unconscious for some time. Whllo In
pursuit of the ball ho collided with
great force with a man swinging on
tho rings, receiving a severe blow on
the temple and being knocked violently
to tho floor. It was some tlmo before
he recovered consciousness and was
able to walk home, but ho Is now about
again in good health and spirits. It is
a miracle that more accidents of this
kljid have not happened, as many make
It a practice of swinging on tho rings
when tho teams are playing basket
ball.
Instructor Snantz met his class in
agricultural botany for the first time
on Wednesday. At tho tlmo there. w'as
just enough to tako up all of the micro
scopes, and as a consequence Profes
sor BeBsey is anxiously looklng-about
for more Instruments to send out to
the school. It begins to look as though
another purchase, of microscopes would
have to be made very Boon.
