TAKE THE FIRST Varsity Team Defeats the Leag uers by Surprising Score. On the 7:30 Rock Island train jrs tertltiy morning, an aggregation of baseball men came to Lincoln from the suburb of Omaha They wore weary and care-Etaincd countenance, as though life had lost for them its charms. They came here to fulfill a three days' engagement with the University nine, and went ui against it hard for the first of the aeries jesterday after noon. Itourke, did you ever hear tho name before? Well, he is the man that got them Into all their troubles and it didn't seem to worry Mm in the least. They carao with the scalps of the Omaha Originals dangling from, their beltB, but so far they are the only ones. On last Saturday and Sunday the won from the Originals by a score of r to 2 in tho tiret'gamo and 9 to 7 In the second, and the Originals put up a good game. There are many old familiar facer; among the crowd from Omaha. Carter and Dusty Miller are here, likewise Shafstall .and Oonding. Gondlng, you remember, has the record of being the best nuui behind tho bat in the West-cm- league, but he can't hit a baloon. Letherby, tho twlrler who makes the ball look like tho tail of a kite, caught In a breeze, and Companion, a fellow sufferer in the box, nre both famillnr "names, as well as Case. Case isn't a water carrier, he's a pitcher and knows .how to handle the ball. too. This team Is to go up against tho s Chicago American league team soon and will J5e able to ascertain as to whether or not they will be in the running. About the half of the hour after two, the baseball fans began to saunter University-wards' and fill up the bleach ers and grandstand. By three o't lock a good sized crowd had gathered. The day was perfect and eerything point ed to a good game. Some old familiar University men were on the side lines 'Billy" Wil Hon came in with the team carrying a bat sack to think that he would have to work his way in that way it's too bad and he wore an "U" too. Dusty Rhodes climbed over the back fence Jost before the game was called and took a seat with the team. The. managexof the Nebraska Indians and his wife watched the game from the grandstand and ho was warm In his praises of the work of the University men. "Snapper" Kennedy, a man known in baseball circles for some years past, umpired' the game, and did a good clean job, filling a mos.t difficult posi tion. The game was called at 3.13, Omaha going to bat. Morso gave the fiist man up a past to first, Just to show ho really had no hard) feeling towards his opponents, but that was all there was doing. " Williams, shortstop made a most sensational stop of a hot grounder, over second, which delighted the hearts "of the fans. The Omaha men formed a goose egg and NobraskA went to bat, and they batted. Miller drew a threebagger in the scrimmage and when the dust finally settled Nebras ka had' scratched the rubber three times, Townsend. Bender and Miller bringing in the scores. The Omaha mon pulled1 In one run In tho second an$ were kept from others by HammlU'a pretty double at Becond. In this inning Nebraska added) three more scores.

In the third Omaha drew anothei blank, whlo Morse and Hammill added two more runs for Nebraska. In the fourth Omaha found the Xmas stocking empty, while the University added five more to their score, Town send. Williams, Fenlon, Miller and Cooke, all making the circuit.

Townsend and Fenlon added two more runs for the University. The Kixth and seventh Innings were gooseeggs for both teams. The eighth wae likewise a blank for Omaha, wftille the University added two more Cook nnd Morse coming in. The ninth was a white wash for Omaha, and the game was won. Score, 17 to -1. In favor of the University. The score does not give any definite idea of the game. It was one replete wjth long hits-, sensational plays and striking situations. The last three innings Case and Gonding went In for Omaha In place ot Root and Frecse Case In the box, and Gonding behind Uie bat. where he is a marvel. This pair did good work and made the University work. For the Omaha team Plake, short stop, Gonding catch, and "Dusty" Mil ler did the best work. Carter, light field, was the best with the stick For the University, well what's the matter with the whole team? The in field placd like veterans, and the out field did splendid work. Miller's long throw from light field home was one of the features of the game, but Wil liams' s-top at second was the climax. Morse pitched an excellent game, strong and steady and with a good deal of head work. Bender caught an er rorless game. Townsend at first was the mainstay of the team, and by his faultless work greatly encouraged his men. Stein at third and Hammill aTT second showed up in excellent form. and1 held down) their end of the game to a queen's taste. Today Omaha will be up and do ing. Yesterday was a kind of try-out and the two following days will show that tho Omaha men have In them the material out of which baseball men are made. Come out yourself and see Rouike's men play ball. It will be worth your while.

GOES TOJPRINTER Copy on Senior Annual Will Be Turned In Today. The work of compiling material' for the Senior Annual is finished and the mass of copy that has been accumu lated goes Into the hands of tho print ers today. Tho cost of getting out the book will be greater than over br fore. as gieat efforts have been exerted to make the lxok qh artistic as pot. plblo. The drawing and design work is a good as can be procured, and the cuts are of a superior grade. It Is cedent that the book will not bo lack ing in the all around features that are to be found in the best of tho Senior Annuals in tho past, but most of theso will be in an improved form, and are supplemented by many new ones. Tho book will be printed by the Jacob North company of this city. All the cuts were made by the Barnes. Crosby Co.. of Chicago, which firm Is said to furnish the best work of this kind to be obtained. The usual large number o roasts sketches, stories, write-ups a: are promised, as well as a n new features. The best lltera In the University has been calfcdupon and we are assured that the genera I style and tone of the book wHl come up to a high standard one or the features that vl)l le missing from the book this yeafiH the eectlon that has always In tlw (past been devoted to the law depaffment. Tho law students will have a bLpk of their own this year, thus obatlng tho necessity of representation Tn the Senior Annual. However the 'extra space will all be utilized and the )ook will probably be as big as ever.- The section devoted to the law departjneut has never been productive- of "substan tial results, in the way of increased Rales or patronage and as a Senior Academic publication the book wflll be all the stronger this year. " This Is the season when all the in stitutions about us are busy getting out their annual publications, and the nurry-up cans' navo all uounded at most of these plac stage has been passed 11118 cause for rejoicing on tho-part editors of our book, although th porienced their share of have ex- ubles of this kind. Some of the plrotographs were late in getting in and some of tho copy promised was overdue, but now that everything has been adjust ed they find no reason for complaint. Considerable difficulty was exper ienced in starting, which was necessi tated by tho withdrawal from school of Calvin H. Taylor, who was first appointed editor and by tho work of finding a cqntpetent successor. How over, under the editorship of Miss Streeter, the work of editing tho book has progressed well. E. P. Tyner Is the business manager and reports good results in securing advertising. We hope to sec the Senior Annual this year surpass all former undertakings Of its kind, and we trust that it wllh Earl J. Woodward, M. D., treats dls eases of tho eye. ear and throat.
