Honors wore about evenly dlvidod yesterday In the Freshman-Sophomore class scrap, which is -generally under stood Is but the preliminary to the real contest for supremacy today. The Sophomores were able to easily secure C. A. Currio, the master of ceremonies, yesterday morning, but experienced apparently unsurmountable difficulties when they trlod to spirit off McLaugh lin, the chairman of the party com mittee. The Sophomores wore on the alert early yesterday .morning for any favor able opportunity to secure the much desired men. Having learned that the master of ceremonies was at the Sigma Alpha Upsllon fraternity house and thnt his "body guard" consisted of but a single freshman, about ten Sophs after having a rig easily se cured their victim and carried him off to seclusion. The "second act" In the scrap was just the opposite of the earlier one. The Sophomores planned to sleze upon the chairman of the committee as his cadet company entered the armory and by quick work escape with their man before the "Freshles" could make , any resistance. Much to their disappointment, how ever, an lntercal of several minutes elapsed between the time the com panies entered the armory and un fortunately for the Sophomores the last company to quit the field. Under these circumstances, with the body of Freshmen, who had been dlsmised from the other companies, standing about the armory door, the "Sophs" seemed to lose some of their usual grit and alowed "The Chairman" to pass quietly Into the armory, i Once inside his fellow classmen crowded around him and by employ ing their superior numbers to good effect they charged down the stair way past the .Sophomore dray and succooded in landing him safely In a hack which the freshmen had on hand having anticipated that some such at tempt would be made. The Sopho mores put up a spirited flglit consid ering their inferior numbers, but the Freshmen unhitched their team and while a small party of "Freshles" pulled the dray off down Twelfth street the "Sophs" struggled in vain to koep their would be victim from reaching his hack. Purdue, 5; Nebraska, 3. Purduo proceodod to pick out the red oars of corn yesterday and kissed Nllsson's curves enough times to bring In five runs. Tho 'Varsity was evidently a little off color for they could only connect with the opposing pitcher for three tallies. But instead, they aided their opponents by mak ing eleven erora. Nilason cannot bo censured for ho pitched good ball but the support given him was not of tho best. It Is hoped that tho team will lift the cloud today and let a little sunlight shine in the shnpe of a victory. it it it it it n it it n it it it it it it it it it it it it it it ENGINEERING BANQUET, jj SATURDAY EVE., J MAY 6, LINDELL HOTEL ' j I J. 00 PER PLATE it a All Engineering Student are Invited, i t u a ))) MUSEUM BUILDING. Work on First Wing to Begin in July. Work on the wing of the Museum building, for which tho last session of the Nebraska legislature appropri ated $50,000 on tho request of the Board of Regents, will probably begin early In July. The present room oc cupied by the collection already In tho hands of the cureatur Is entirely Inadequate, many of tho specimens be ing at presont stored In the tunnelH on the campus and other places where they have ben put In emergency casus. For this reason several at tempts have been made to secure more room and these finally resulted In the request made by tho regents last fall when tho legislature was In session The structure will be located be tween the building now occupied by Professor Sweezy and Memorial hall. The building will be made flro proof, and will have cement floors and parti tions. It Is erected for the exclusive uso of the department of geology and tho state museum. This will be the first of four wings tho others being addod to tho first as fast as the funds for the purpose can be secured. Tho regents' committee appointed for that purpose has decided on the man whohi they will recommend for architect, but owing to the fact that their action Is subject to the approval of the regents they refuse to make their decision public. The erection of this building will make it possible for tho state to enjoy the benefit of the $1,000 a year for five years, to be used in geological Inyestl gatlon In tho state, which ex-Regent Morrill generously offered to place at the disposal of tho state geologist whonover adequate room for storing the spoolmens could bo secured. Mr. "Morrill Is a pioneer Nebrasknn and has always taken an actlvo InteroBt !n-the pushing forward of thlB work. It Is largely due to his personal in terest in tho work that the offer of the donation was mfiue."' CADETS INSPECTED. Captain Palmer Makes Very Favorable Report.
