A good crowd turned out to witness the last of the gymnastic contests ,in which first place and the University "N" was won by Mr. J. T. Milek, who also won the first contest. Mr. Pipal, who was a close second in the first contest, was too ill to appear last night, so that Mr. Milek was not hard pressed by any contestant, and had no difficulty In carrying off first honors. Besides the awarding of the "N" and title of Uhiversity "Gymnast" silver cups were given to the winners of first and second places In each contest. In addition to the three regular con tests there were three exhibition. A squad of picked men, led by Mr. Lane and Mr. Graves, presented a tumbling exhibition which seemed to afford much amusement to the audience, and in which there was really some very fine work done. The feature of the evening, however, was some fancy club swing ing by Dr. Clapp, which took the audi ence by storm and called forth a burst of applause which lasted for sev eral minutes. The first contest on the side-horse, which was entered by Milek, Baker, Noyes and Posplsil, resulted In Milek first, Baker second. The second was tne long horse, with Milek, Baker, Pos plsil and Copeland entered. Milek won this event, also, while Copeland car ried off second honors. Only three men, Milek, Noyes, and Brick, were en tered In the final event, the flying rings, and again Milek got in his work, and carried dff the first prize, with Brick second. The final total scores were as follows: Milek, 438. Baker, 321. Pipal, 217. The final exhibition was two forma tions of pyramids by a picked squad, which was all that had been promised, and pleased the spectators greatly. AGGIES DEFEATED. State Farm Team Easily Beaten by University. A fair sized crowd greeted Captain Townsend's colts at their initial ap pearance yesterday afternoon, and cheered them on to a very decisive victory in a game surprisingly free from errors considering the high wind which was blowing. The much-heralded Stat Farm team failed to make good, and although the University loaned them one of our catchers, Bar ta, they permitted the. CornhuBkers to amble around the diamond nineteen times, while thoyJwere able to score but once, and that in the second Inning. Nebraska fans are much encouraged over the showing made by the team thus early in the season, and feel that if the usual Improvement takes place before the regular schedule begins the record made this year will excel that of last year by a considerable margin. The men showed Sip well at the stick, Miller and Fenlon especially distin guished, themselves by lining the ball out every time they stepped up to the plate. The former showed excellent skill in placing clean hits, while Fen lon, with the air of the wind, smashed out two homo runs. The line-up: Catch Bender, MiUef.
