In one of the closest competitive drills In the history of the University Military department, Company A won out yesterday afternoon on tho cam pus. Tho day was a perfect one for tho occasion, the field in good condi tion, and an Immense crowd was on hand to cheer their favorites to vic tory. While Company A had not been generally picked as a winner before tho contest, it was realized oven by those unacquainted with military movements that her drill would be hard to beat, and the verdict of the judges seems to have been coincident with that of the audience. Notwithstanding this, however, she was pressed very hard by both of the other companies, as the score of each amply attests. Company A won with 285 out of a possible 30& points. Com pany B was a very close second witn 281 points, and Company C pressed Company B hard with 277. But for an Imperfect "stack arms" it Is possible that tho latter might have tied or even beaten the victors. A similar misfor tune affected Cs standing also. Much of the credit for Company A's victory must go to Captain Stanley, who has earned for himself the repu tation of being one of the best soldiers tho department ever turned out. He has raised his company from the low est place last year to first this. This Is the first time since 1901 that Com pany A has won out, and the second time In the history of the University. Company B won In the Individual, through Corporal Skeen. Sergeant Scrlbner of Company C was second, and Sergeant Crites of Company A third. At the close of the exercises Governor Mickey presented the prizes, with a few appropriate words. The usual mementos, a gold medal to tho winner of the individual, and silver medals to tho second and third com petitors, were the prizes. The Omaha cup was, of course, Company A's re ward. Tho judges were: Capt. Frank A. Cook, Sub. Dept., U. S. A. Capt. C. W. Castle, 30th, Infantry, U. S. A. Capt. Harry 0. Wlllard, 5th Cavalry, U,S.

Nebraska Wins and Loses in First Sets of Singles. Yesterday Nebraska and Minnesota played two sets of singles. Cassldy went down before Welner from Min nesota in a hard played match, by a score of 8-G, 6-3, in favor of Jhe Gopher man. Steady, hard, clean tennis was the characterlc of tho entire match, and It was nobody's game till the very end. Werner has had considerable experi ence in tournament playing, and while he puts up a very hot article of ten nis, Cassldy was by no means easy pudding for the Minnesota champion, and made him fight for every point. The match between Scribner and Thompson contained some very sen BAND CONCERT Saturday May 21, Followed By 25 Cents ' o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o sational plays.

His talk was that of encour agement for the University student and urging the high school student to lal.er enroll himself with them.

After tho program Mr. B. G. Lewis in a well worded presentation speech,' presented Mrs. Raymond with a very handsome present, which as he said carried with it the best wishes and the appreciation of several hundred stu dents, of the excellent music furnished by her during the year. - - Memorial Hall ?
