DeYoung Takes a Ducking.
P. "P. DoYoung, 07, who Becured a
leave of absence about two weeks
ago to enter tho employ of the Inter
nationa) Harvester Company, had tho
exciting and somewhat dangerous ex
perience of taking an unexpected bath
on May 25, while crossing the country
after a heavy rain. Tho following
quotation 1b taken from tho Dally Ok
lahoman of Oklahoma City and ex
plains itself:
''A commercial traveler In tho per
son of Mr. DeYoung, representing the
International Harvester Company, of
America, with headquarters at this
city, had quite an exciting experience
yesterday morning in the way of a
free bath.v While driving across coun-
try from Comanche to Duncan, I. T.,
after tho heavy rains that had faljen
during the night, his driver underesti
mated tho depth of a stream to bo
forded and carelessly plunged Into wa
ter of unpleasant depth. Tho first
leap the horses made they were bur
ied full form beneath tho water and
the Becond dlvo they pulled In tllo men
and buggy. The stream was exceed
ingly swift and about five rods wide,
bo before tho horses had swam tho
distance tho boys both received a good
ducking and during the short spell,
which seemed like an hour, tho trav
eler lost one of his grips, his hat and
partly damaged a good suit of clotheB.
Tho pleasures of tho experience,
though, as expressed by him, far ex
ceed the displeasure of It, If it occurs
but once In a llfo time."
Company Q Parades.
Tho annual dress parade and exhibi
tion drill of Company Q was held last
Saturday evening. Tho. company
formed at tho University Armory In
lull dress about 8:30 with 200 present.
Tho company -was under tho able
leadership of several of tho commis
sioned officers in tho Cadet Battalion.
Exhibition drills were given at the
University Woman's Building, tho
Chancellor's residence, the Llndoll ho
tel, the Lyric, the Auditorium, and sev
eral conspicuous places about tho city.
Many of tho more zealous of tho ca
dets In the company were not satis
fied with the quality of drill put up
on the brick walks and after consulta
tion with the person In charge secured
permission to enter several of the
above mentioned places to try their
skill on tho "more pleasant to thb
foot" carpet floor. The judges were
unanimous In their decision that tho
drill of Saturday evening excelled all
former ones. Special mention was
made of tho quality of tho work done
on the .fourth floor of the Woman's
Building.
Excitement at the "Dorm."
Saturday afternoon a pretty Miss
was seen strolling down O street with
a '08 cap upon her head. A few min
utes later It was in the hands of tho
upper classmen at tho "Dorm." The
news spread rapidly and tho Fresh
men being unable to obtain the cap,
locked five of the upper classmen In
one of the" rooms on the second floor.
By a stairway of winding sheets two
of the girls escaped through the win
dow and released the otheijs. No
boneB broken victory for upper class
men. At about 9 p. m. Company Q took
possession of tho "Dorm" for a short
time. An hour later Company Z com
posed of about 75 "Dorm" girls put an
end to all rules and marching to the
roof made themselves heard far and
wide. They then passed to tho first
floor where they danced till a late
hour.

NEBRASKA WINS
DEFEAT HAWKEYE MEN AFTER
A HARD STRUGGLE.
Meet in Doubt Until the Final Game
Was Won Nebraska Takes the
Second, Fourth and Fifth 8ets.
Nebraska won the deciding matches
in tho tennis doubles Monday, after
one of tho most exciting contests over
witnessed on the Nebraska courts.
The teams were very evenly matched
and the result was In doubt until tho
last of tho five seta was finished.
The singles played last week re
sulted In a tie, Monnot winning from
both Cassady and Scribner, and they
In turn both defeated Coggswell. It
was, therefore, agroed that tho winner
of the tournament should bo decided
by tho doubles.
Tho early part of the match looked
bad for Nebraska. CasBady, Nebras
ka's champion, did not play In his us
ual form, while Monnet, the champion
of Iowa, was easily tho best Individual
player of tho tournament. Tho first
set werft to Iowa, 6-1. Nebraska took
a braco and after a hard uphill strug
gle won the second, 8-6. Iowa secured
tho third, 6-3. Nebraska won the
fourth, 6-3. The fifth and deciding
contest went to Nebraska, 6-4.
Scribner played an excellent game
from Btart to finish. Cassady seemed
to bo off form in tho early part of
the contest but regained it
for the final struggle. Tho Hawkoyo
men have defeated Ames, Illinois and
several other strong teams, suffering
but one other defeat and that at tho
hands of tho University of Chicago
early In tho season.
Tyvp More Games.
Two more baseball games are sched
uled to bo played on the University
campus. On Thursday afternoon the
team from Spalding's Institute at Pe
oria, III., reputed to be one of the
fastest aggregations In that State, will
meet tho 'Varsity on Nebraska field.
The following day the niflo from
Crolghton University of Omaha will
come down to try conclusions with
Captain Bender's colts. This Is the
last opportunity of the year to see the
'Varsity play and will be last -time
that Captain Bender will appear as a
college baseball player. Bender has
mado a record as an athlete in the
University that will bo hard to" boat,
having played his full time as a mem
ber of Nebraska baseball, football and
track teams. Ho has been ono of Ne
braska's "standbys" and has many
times turned what seemed sure defeat
Into victory.
E. F. Myers, U. of N. '04, won tho
65-yard dodging raco for football men
at Harvard on May 23. Ho also took
third place in the 75-yard raco for foot
ball players. These wore two 6f the
events of the third annual University
field day sports held at Harvard on
that date. Over 200 men competed in
the 16 events pulled off. r A silver
cup was awarded tho winner of each
event.
Tho Boston Olobo gives the follow
ing account of the two events which
Mr. Myers entered:
"Tho most Interesting events of tho
afternoon were tho dodging raco for
football men, tho 75-yard daBh for foot
ball1 playors and the plg-a-back raco.
In tho daBh for football men, each
man running In football togs and car
rying a football, which ho had to pick
up at tho start, LouIb Morris, '06, won
in a close race with H. Foster. All of
tho men in tho dodging raco were In
football togs, and E. F. MyorB IL won
out."
Meet Off.
Tho tri-State track meet at 8loux
City last Saturday had to bo called
off on account of tho muddy condition
of tho field. This resulted In the trip
being mado by the Nebraska team for
nothing, and South Dakota and Morn
Ingsldo universities were put to about
$200 expense, with no gate receipts
to reimburse them.
Journal to Continue.
An orroneous impression that tho
University Journal has discontinued
publication has been spreading over
the campus. Tho paper will contin
ue to bo publlshod next year. Pro
fessor C. E. Persingor, of tho De
partment of American History, will
succeed Mr. H. Q. Shodd as editor of
the publication. It is designed next
year to improve the appearanco of tho
Journal by using better paper and de
creasing the amount of linotype work
on tho paper.
