Sixteenth Decisive Battle of the
World Fought Out By Faculty.
Tho much-talked-of, postponed Fac
ulty Carnival 1b a thing of the past.
No more will the professors be seen
on the athletic field twirling the sphere
or rushing the oval. Their hopes were
either realized or trampled In the dust
yesterday afternoon.
The day was a good one for the par
ticipants, but Just a little sharp for
the spectators. Still a good crowd waB
In attendance and from the noiBO that
was made one might have thought that
the game with Illinois was in progress.
The band marched Into tho groundB
at 2:30 with a crowd at its heels and
straightway the air was filled with
fragments of songs and spasmodic calls
and cheerB.
A number of the professors were on
tho grounds attired in whatever cos
tume their entry required.
Every few minutes a head would be
suddenly thrust In at tho gate and
peer cautiously a"bout to see If the
coast was clear, then a queerly garbed
body would steal softly into tho
grounds and make its way apologetical
ly across the field amid the cheers and
good humored calls from the grand
stand. At the south end of the bleachers Dr.
Ross had a pair of scales and offered
to guess any one'B weight within ton
pounds for a dime or money refunded.
Young ladles with baskets on their
arms filled with pop corn, peanuts and
candy went about among the spectators
selling their wares.
At about five minutCB of three Dr.
Clapp, Mr. Hanna and Mr. Lane opened
the Carnival with work on the hori
zontal .and parallel bars. Their ap
paratus was placed in front of the
grandstand, half-way down' tho flold,
which gave everyone a good opportuni
ty to see the entire performance.
The exhibition lasted about twenty
minutes and was excellent, calling
forth repeatedly hearty applause.
Then there was an uproar at the
gate, a clattor of many feet upon tho
stone walk and headed by Professor
Caldwell ten men clad In overalls and
jumpers ran Onto the field.
This strangely clad group of men was
one of the great basoball teams which
wore to contend for the crown of olive
leaves. Their opponents were awaiting
them clad In the usual garb of players
of tho game.
After a short warming up the gong
sounded for action.
The "Overalls' had their outs and
took their places, tho fielders running
Jauntily to their positions carrying bu
shel basketB. Perslnger was in the box
and Mellck caught him.
Tho "Overalls" shut the Originals
out tho first time up.
Then camo tho "Overalls" to bat.
Vallontly did thoy wield tho stick and
boToro tho necessary threo men had
died Professor Caldwoll andJrofess6r
Smith had scratched down three bags
and passed tho rubber, making two
scores.
Tho Originals -took up the war club
with blood In their eyes and by time
ly hits brought ono man In, Lano mak
ing tho scoro.
In the next lnnnlng, which was the
last, neither side scored.
. Mr. Votah in tho box, supported by
Dr. Condra, did some good work and
the fielding on both sides was excel
lent. Tho "Overalls" won by a score of 2
to 1, which shows that the players In.
the two nines had' not forgotten what
they used to do. Dr. Clemens umpired
tho game and Prof. Barber refereod.
Prof. Taylor next entertained tho
audience with his trained horses, and
it was a yory clever and pleasing per-

formance. He had two horses, which
he exhibited turn about, and tile man
ner in which they behaved and went
through their various tricks showed
careful training. Prof. Taylor is to be
complimented.
Throughout the afternoon occasional
calls, becoming more frequent as time
went by, were made for the foolball
game.
Directly after Professor Taylor's
event the two teams appeared. One
under the leadership of Dr. Condra and
the other under Prof. Shedd.
Each team took a Bhort signal prac
tice, and then the whistle blew and
they" lined up.
Mr. Shedd kicked off for his team,
sending the ball down to his oppo
nents' 10-yard line.
Dr. Condra took it in and started
to tear up the ground when suddenly
arrested in his erratic career by Prof.
Moore. Then came a series of line
plunger which would have made the
first team turn green with envy. Dr.
Clapp and Dr. Condra did most of the
carrying of the ball, but after a few
gains the Sheddites steadied down and
held their opponents for downs. The
ball went over to Mr. Shedd's team on
their opponents' 22-yard line. A touch
down looked inevitable, but Dr. Con
dra's husky followers braced up and
were able to hold. Mr. Shedd tried for
a drop-kick, but was hurried so that It
failed. Dr. Condra fell on the ball be
hind his own goal line. The ball was
brought to the 25-yard line and kicked
off. Prof. Moore caught tho punt and
ran It back twenty yards.
From then on the bail see-sawed back
and forth, mostly In the territory of
Mr Shedd's team. Frequent punts
were exchanged between Mr. Shedd and
Dr. Condra in which the honors were
about even.
Finally near the close of the half a
punf from Dr. Condra was fumbled and
one of the Condraites fell on the ball
on the Shedd 15-yard line and by steady
line plunges advanced the ball to the
3-yard lino when time was called for
the first half.
One of the features of the game was
the "Doctor" Chase, who had his kit of
tools consisting of a long rusty saw and
a pair of bellowB. His services wero
often needed.
During the time between the halves
one of the best features on the pro
gram was Introduced. This was the
hammer-throw between Professors
Ross and Caldwell.
Professor Caldwell was dressed In
short trousers and as he marched down
tho field wlUi Professor Ross the con
trast was, welL It simply was .
The crowd wmt Into convulsions
from thenco to spasms and then stopped
for tho lack of anything else into which
they might go.
Professor Ross throw first, the 12
pound hammer, and made a.fcood throw
and the friends of Professor Caldwell
wero beginning to fear for the out
pome. But ho was equal to it ho had
a set of hammers of his own, and ho
picked up tho 12-pound ono and twirl
ing around IiIb head as If it wero a
feather ho threw It almost off tho field.
Professor Rosb then tried hard on
the 18-pound hammer, but the result
was tho same.
Finally they, came to tho heavy
weight. Professor Ross throw an 80
pound hammer and Professor Caldwell
had a 200-pound ono brought onto the
field. Even In this throw Prof. Cald
well completely distanced hiB tall op
ponent and this closed the contest.
The second half of tho football game
was then called.
The two teamB came onto tho field
apparently as fresh as when they be
gan. From the kick-off until the last whis
tle blew the play was fast and furious.
Professor Bolton had to be carried from
one down to another In a wheelbar
row, but being a true Spartan he could
not desert his cause, so stuck to It to
the bitter end.
No score was made in this half, so
the championship remains undecided.
The features of this half were tho
two long runs, one by Dr. Pound, and
another by Mr. Lane, both men cross
ing tho goal lino, but the touchdowns
not being allowed on account of hold
ing in the line.
Dr. Pound mado the run for Mr.
Shedd's team and Mr. Lano for Dr.
Condra'B.
The two captains became furious (?)
when these touchdowns were not al
lowed and It was only by the timely In
terference of Mr. Ringer, the umpire,
that they were kept apart. It Is diffi
cult to imagine what might have hap
pened had they come together, but we
fear that they might had been discuss
ing politics yet.
Tho game closed with the ball In tho
poBsesslon of Mr. Shedd's team in tho
center of tho field.
Immediately after the game the sack
race was called.
There were three entries, Dr. Bolton,
Prof. Emerson and Prof. Engberg.
These gentlemen did not keep tho
people waiting long, but got down to
business quickly. Tho race was con
tested closely, but Professor Emerson
won out in the end by quite a distance.
Tho closing race was tho one with
wheelbarrows. There were five en
tries, Professors Hodgman, Sweezy,
Dann, Chatburn, and Dr. Bolton.
These men became so mixed as to
their courses and ' Interfered so much
with each other that tho race had to
be declared off.
ThiB dosed the carnival.
In every respect it was ono of the
most unique events that has even been
held on tho University grounds, and
will bo long remembered most pleas
antly by all who witnessed It.
Tho Y. W. C. A. will hold Its county
fair in tho Armory and chapel a week
from tonight. Elaborate arrange
ments are being made for this event
and the list of attractions includes a
side show In addition to the main fea
tures provided" Thoro will also ho
booths, where candles, pop corn and
various articles will bo sold. The ad
mission to this fair will be ten cents,
and the attractions are well worth the
cost.
J. B. Davidson, president of the l'ln
glneering society, has received word
from J. A. L. Waddell that he will
speak before the society some time be
fore tho next commencement. His
subject will be, "American; Engineer
ing in Foreign Lands." Mr. Waddell
expressed the desire of speaking sev

IS ON KANSAS SOIL
Team Leaves Amid Ovation. Ex
cursion Numbers 200.
Our team 1b "how on Kansas soil,
ready to wage tho Issue with the Jay
hawkerfl and return with a glorious vie- .
tory to their credit. Their departure
yesterday morning over the Mlssoul
Pacific, was marked by a display of
loyalty and spirit that was Indeed
cheering to the men about to depart
for a battle that will try them severely.
A fine crowd was there to give thorn a
send-off, and so splendidly did they
accomplish their purpose that Coach
Booth led in giving tho University yell,
A wholesale cutting of 9 o'clock
clnBHes occurred ycBterdny morning as
the result of a movement started by tho
"Innocents" In collecting a crowd.
Shortly before 9 o'clock a lino of men
emerging from the Science hall and
marching in lock-step, gave notice
that the team was not going to bo al
lowed to depart without some notice.
TheBe served as a nucl.euB around which
others collected until a long line of
Beyeral hundred singing and yelling
students executed their famous "zig
zag" all tho way from the front gates
of the campus to tho M. P. depot.
At tho depot the enthusiasm reached
a climax. Every player, sub, and coach
was cheered to a finish. Speeches wero
made by Coach Bopth, ex-Captain
WcBtover, Manager Buckner, Dr. Con
dra and Dr. Pound.
The train left at 9:15 and the demon
stration ended with a cheer for tho
"whole team" as it pulled out with
Booth's Cornhuskers on their way to
meet Kansas Univprslty.
The team spent last night in Kan
sas City and proceeded to Lawrence
this morning. They were scheduled to
arrive there at about 10 o'clock, which
would give them several hours to rest
and work the stiffness out of tholr
limbs after their long Journey.
The student excursion train left last
night over the Union Pacific. About
200 people wero In tho party and Judg
ing from the spirit manifested the team
will have strong support at Lawrence.
The band, some forty strong, was there
and it will do some. effective work In
helping Nebraska enlarge her score.
Yesterday morning In chapol shortly
after tho team's departure Dr. Condra
addressed the audience briefly. Ho
advised those going on tho excursion
to be moderate and not try to stir up
any trouble. Ho advised them to cheer
tho Kansas players when they camo
on the field, and expressed as his wish
that they show a spirit of courtesy
throughout. Speaking further he said
that ho hoped that nothing would oc
cur to sever our relations with Kansas,
as such an event would indeed ba-unde-slrablo.
Lincoln vs. Omaha.
Lovors of football will bo enabled
to see the game. at Us best-Saturday
at F. & M. park, at 3 p. m., when the
team from the Omaha high school will
meet the Invincible Lincoln high school
team.
Both teams have played a 0 to 0
game with York, which fact lends In
creased m interest to tho game here.
Both teams are in excellent shape for
the contest and will spare no effort
to win. The double defeat of Omaha
last year has aroused her to the highest
pitch and she will do all she can to re
trieve her lost honor, and Lincoln Is as
determined to hold, tho place she has
won. The battle will bo bltlerly con
tested. Twenty-five cents lets you seo
