GAME POSTPONED
Omaha Team Will Play Here on
April 20 and 21.
The wet weather yesterday finally
resulted in the postponement of the
third game of the soris against the
.Omaha Western League team. Man
ager Bell succeeded, however, in sched
uling two games with the leaguers to
take the places of the one lost yes
terday, so that the loss has really
turned out to he a gain for the Univer
sity. The games will he played on
the Oampiib Wednesday and Thursday,
April 20 and 21.
This will he welcome news to the
University fans. It will mean, how
ever, that strenuous practice must he
held during tne next two weeks if we
are again to expect victory over the
Omohogs. The league team lett last
night over the Burlington for Oma
ha, where they play a game today, and
meet tho Chicago' team next Sunday.

company belore returning to Lincoln
and will be in much bettor condition
to play good ball than at p resell!.
In the meanwhile- the University
will arrange moots with such local
teams as can be accommodated. The
next games on the schedule are with
the Nebraska Indians next Friday and
Saturday. The Indians are already in
town the mobiL of them and will be
gin daily practice immediately at the
F, & M. park. Several of last year's
team aro back, which -should1 permit
tho Aborigines to got into shape with
unusual rapidity. They also hae
Archiquette, the famous left end, who
played with the Haskell Indian foot
ball team diuring tho past two years.
He will play first base.
Tho report has in some unknown
manner gained 1 considerable circula
tion that "Billy" Wilson, Nebraska's
crack firstbaseman last year would reg
ister in tho University this spring in
time to get Into the game again. Cap
tain Tow nee ml stated to a Nebraska"
reporter last night, that this report
is without foundation, although efforts
have been made to get Wilson on the
team for the coming season. He lett

will probably not return until the
football seasons opens next fall.

GIVES A REPORT
Prof. Barber Talks on Convention
of Educators at Chicago.
Professor Barber gavo a very inter
esting report on tho convention of tho
Northwestern Association of Colleges
and Accredited Schools, to which ho
was a delegate from Nebraska. He
said in part:
"This organization was Btarted nluo
years ago, being designed to meet tho
demands that could not be satisfied by
stato association or national organiza
tions. Its purpose Is to meet tho pe
culiar conditions that prevail in this
strip of country between tho Rocky
mountains on tno west and tho state
of Ohio on tho east. comnrlRlnir tin
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and tho Dako
tas. This convention meets once each
year, and discussion tho educational
system and needs of their territory,
which are distinctly different from oth
er sections."
After these preliminary remarks,
which gavo a full outlino of the pur
pose and Intention of this annual con
vention ho commented upon the ad
dress of the first speaker, ex-President
Draper, of Illinois University, whoso
subject was "Government In American
Universities," tho comment being as
follows: "Tho key noto of tho addreBS
WttH that of freedom In all lines of
college government from tho chief ex
ecutives to tho student body. Thero
should bo no political strings wound
around tho college president; ho should
not have his seat as a result of politi
cal wire-pulling. Tho same law should
be applied to positions held by the
members of tho faculty.
"Freedom should exist among the
teachers to exerciso tholr own judg
ment in tho manner and matter, and
their teaching with but one restriction,
said President Draper, 'That they
should not In classes talk for the pub
lic and talk like a fool at that.' Ho
emphasized the fact that students
should also havo abundant freedom
that thoy might feel some added re
sponsibility and be given plenty of lib
erty and treated as ladlc-B and gentle
men." Following this review of the first
address he turned to the athletic
phase of tho convention, which was
somo what abbreviated bectfuso tho
time was lacking.
It seomedr evident, however, that
thero was a general concurrence In
favor of good clean college athletics
and all entered freely Into an earnest
discussion championing this as a nec
essary addition to the college course.
The resolutions that wero adopted by
these representative educators with
reference to college athletics wore read.
Among them were somo well formu
lated regulations which will act in rais
ing tho present standard and stifle tho
tendency towards professionalism.
Among the points touched upon in tho
resolution wero tho requisition that
students must attend an institution one
year beforo he would bo eligible .to
represent It in any collegiate meet,
and that Universities should bo dis
couraged In trying to Induce under
graduates of tho high schools to enter
because of their ability In athletics.
Among the other things that wero
discussed was tho endowments for
players. This 'was considered as ex
tremely unfair, and any Institution
should bo Isolated for It. At the close
somo of the receipts and expenditures
In athletics for tho different institu
tions were commonted-upon, and It was
demonstrated that most all or them
wero In possession of a small surplus
for tho year's business, with tho excep
tion of Nebraska", whoso account was
somewhat embarrassing.
Tho report was a good one, but Umo
prevented a complete detailed account.
