PRICE 3 CENTS ( Wrl' RALLY IN EIGHTH Uni SnatchesGamo From Indians In Up-Hill Fight. v Base Ball i -, t. ' & V '. 'f By a sensational batting rally in the eighth Inning yesterday afternoon Ne braska turned the tide that had set in strong against her and wrenchrd the gamo from the grasp of their dusky opponents. For four innings our bat ters were uelpless against the. pitch ing of Snow, only one hit bring se cured in all that time, lint in the flfth inning they got Into the game and gained their first start In their uphill light for victory. Having gained a start they forged along until the eighth inning, when six men crossed the plate with the scores that brought grief to the Indians. The day was anything but an ideal ono for a baseball game. A cold breeze caused tho spectators to shiver, and chilled the players at the stait, al though they warmed up as the game progressed. A fair-sized crowd was present, but what was lacking in num bers was compensated for by the root ingv Enthusiasm was maintained dur ing tho entire game, and in the eighth inning,' when the winning runs were coining In, -it burst into a demonstra tion of tho wildest order. One thing especially to thr ciedlt of our men was that they did not be come discouraged at the heavy odds scored against them at the stait. They played the whole game with determin ation, and it was their pluck that won out for them. On the other hand tin .Indians could not stand adversity, this being their characteristic failing. At the beginning of the game Snow, the big man who plkhed for tho In dians, made a wonderful manifesta tion of fast throwing, and for a wi.ile he was almost "untouchable." Steen uud Dender fell victims to his curves, and Townsend was thrown out at first. Tho Indians started out with a whoop and flourish, and for a while thero was no telling whoro they would stop. livery ball that came over th plate looked as big as a balloon to them,, and they smashed 'em out lr. heartrending fashion. A number of bad errors crept in to help them, and they had everything their own way Six men mado tho trip around the diamond before tho inning was ended. In the second the CornlniBkers went out In order, although Williams got as far as third on a scorcher to right. Tho Indians did no better, as they failed to got a man to first base. Morse, Bender and Hummel suc ceeded each in getting to first in the third, and although at one timo two mon were on bases, tho necessary hit was not forthcoming, and another frigid zero was chalked up for our team. In their half tho Indians got one" run, Rapp coming from third ou a throw to second to catch the runner, which was not returned quIcKly enough. Fenlon got to first In the fourth and Williams sacrificed him to sec ond, but ho succeeded In gottlng no farther. The Indians also drew a blank. In tho fifth the Cornhuskers broko tho ice. Morse and Bender were both brought In by a sharp three-bagger by Steen, and thereupon the hopes of tho rooters began to rise and even then they felt a presentiment that their men would win out. In their half of this Inning the Indians went out in order. Cooke scored in the sixth and the performance was ropeated Jn the sev enth, during which time tho Indians were idle with the stick. Ketch um In center made a beautiful catch off of Bender's bat. Tho eighth inning opened with the score 7 to 4 against our team. Tho crowd began to feel that there was some hope yet, and became quite vo- Nebraska Indians vs. Nebraska TODAY at 3 O'clock: $ ADMISSION ciferous In encouraging the l.nys to go in and win out As tho storm burst with the greatest fury, and the In dians became disheartened, but even if they had not it is a question if they could have stopped that awful batting iall. Cooke got a pas to first. Hummel reached first on an error by tho stortstop; Morso got iris base on balls, so all the bases were full with only ono man out. Bender lined oup to right whlih scored the first two. Steen batted to pitcher and Morse slid in whllo the catcher dropped the ball. Townsend then located orre of Snow's cur ves arrd sent the ball Into right field for a home run and two scores were made. In the first half of the ninth tire Indians tried hard, but could not make good Rapp tut out a nice one, but the next three men perished in qukl succession. Snow had a chance to heir himself some, and he drove a lorrg 11 along tho rightfleld foul line, which the wind despoiled by carrying It over to tho bad side. Ho got to second be fore he realized how the matter stood and then came back and struck out .icrnoo was an easy out from pitcher to first and the game was over. Score 10 to 7. Everyone agreed that the game wac a remarkable one, and was impressed with tho splendid uphill fignt made b tho Cornhuskers. Tho bad start our boys mado would have discouraged many teams, and it is to their credit that they kept cool and won- out. Nebraska made seven hits arrd seven errors. Tho outfield play was not a good as It might have been, and it Is to be hoped that with better weatliT and more practice the fielders will im prove in their work. Yet no man de served to be slammed for anj thing he did yesterday. It Is better to praise their good work as Is merited. Moroo pitched a good game, keeping his head at all tho critical stages of tho game. Steen, Townsend, Bender, and Williams led in tin batting. Mlll- -cr mado a good catih of a lorrg drive into his territory and doubled a man at first. The teams will line up again tills afternoon, and we hope the weather will be more propitious. Tho Indians havo proven that-they know how to play ball, as yesterday's game amply proved. Toby will pitch for them and Adams is slated to twirl for tho Cornhuskers.

Minnesota and Nebraska Girls Will Battle With Racquets. Saturday morning. April 2?,, the girls of Mirrnesota and Nrbrasta will meet on the tennis courts of Mirrnesota in in ipter-collegiale tournament. Min nesota's lady champion, Miss Emily Johnston, who is guard on the Minne sota KirLs basket ball team, will meet Miss Inez Everett, who is a guard on our girls' team, arrd tho champion of tire handicap at tho Country cl.ib last fall. It is possible that some sort of a trophy will bo offered for tho winner of tho match. Nebraska girls have never had any 'ennis nor town events. Miss Everett s about the only ono who has achieved any distinction at all In tho gome, but 't is probable that she will represent Nebraska wltu credit. There are hopes that tho near future may see the estab lishment of a girls' tennis association here, the chief present difficulty being tho lack of enough courts on the cam pus. Tho men's tennis mod with Minne sota is still In tho air . No U finite us suranco has been received from their tennis manager, but as ho Is the man ager of tho girls' basket ball team also, and will accompany it on its com ing visit to Nebraska, it is expected that the matter may be arranged at that time. The membership of the ilul) at present numbers over thirty, with prospect, of increasing to nearly fifty in the near future. A meet with Minnesota would doubtlcfs be a big success. PRELIMINARY MEET.

The rcont almost unprecedented ac tion of the Freshman class In deciding to wear class enps this spring, has be gun to call forth some decidedly stren uous comment from Sophomores and upper classmen. The other clnsse- almost as a unit resent bitterly win. thry are pleased to form the "frnsh,",H of the Frcflhles." While we have mado no effort to Interview anyone on tno question discussion of It has become so frequent that wonio enabled to pre sent to our readers some of the moht representative and significant views that are held by several of the prom inent men of tho Unlverslt. In tho opposition which Is boliirf shown to tho presumption of the first year men It is Interesting to say the least. Hint It Is rrot tho Sophs who are taking the most decided stand In tho matter. Whllo of course the Sopho more class may bo depended upon to take stringent measures when onco tiro caps arrive, for the present they seem to lie keeping pretty quiet. But it Is the dignified Seniors who are entering the rrrost effective ana heart-felt kicks against the Fre.shnren. One of the fore most leaders of the Senior class Ftated in conversation yoHteiday that the Sc -nlci class was prepared If necessary, to arpolnt eommltteos to stand at th- various gates on the campus and pinch tno caps as fast a thry arrived. Another- Senior who wus nol present at Hi is conversation approved of tho scheme most emphatically when in formed of it. "The Freshmen," he said, "are assuming privileges to which thoy have absolutely no right, and which insult tho most ancient tradi tions of the University. The Fresn meu may get caps, an., wear tneiii onco just once. That's all. I am pre pared to vote for tne proposed vigilance committees, and will do anything I can to carry tholr purposo Into effect." A prominent Junior took a somewhat less serious view of the matter, but. was likewise determined that the first year men should not bo permitted to wear class insignia. A Sophomore con sidered tho matter as too "Idiotic" for his notice. He merely slated that tho Freshmen would never woar capj as long as the Sophomore class was ox tant. Wo interviewed a Freshman on the subject and secured a very able de fence of their position. "The Fresh man class," ho said, "has the same right as any other organization to wear distinguishing insignia. In fact we huvo a greater right, If anything, than any other class In the University. Just remember for a minute, who it is that swells the crowds at the football and baseball games. What class has the most class spirit In our school? The work wc do in the University Is more Important than that of aliy other class. Our class Is much larger than any oth er. Wo havo an organization.,. Wo sup ply a large percont of tho athletics. Wo are tho most patriotic boely In school. , It is ridiculous that tho other classes should object to our wearing some dis tinguishing and symbolic badge of our organization. If It Is against prece dent, as everyono seems to think, it docs not alter tho question. Euch a precelent as that should not bo per mitted to stand, and I am of th'o opin ion that the class of '07 will bo tho one to destroy It." Meetings of tho Sophomoro. and Se nior classes have bcon announced for Monday, when It is posslblo that some action mayo' bo taken against tho "class of '07." No Junior announcement has as yet been mado. Wright; Drug Co., 117 No. 11th, 'phono 813. Special rato to student at Hendry's. ' .
