NELL ATTENDED
LARGE CROWD ATTEND8 GYM
NASTIC EXHIBITION.
A Very Good Program Rendered
Gymnasium' Classes A Suc
cess Financially.
by
The gymnaBium exhibition, as pre
dicted, was one" ot the most enjoyablo
university functions of the year. The
largest crowd of the year, with the
exception of Charter day, was crowd
ed' Into the Armory every Boat of the
five hundred was occupied and people
were standing. The crowd started to
.gather about 7:15 and by 8:00 p. m.
tlio seats were all full. There wore
two or three little inconveniences
which prevented, the program from
beginning at 8 o'clock as advertised,
but these woro inadvertlblo.
Tho first event on the program was
the drill by tho first-year class, led by
Mr. Hawthorne, Dr. Clapp, assistant.
Over one hundred men participated
In this, and the precision and uni
formity with which they performed
every part of tho drill won for them
much applause and pralso. The drill
yraa given by music, and tho men kept
in perfect time. This' was followed
closely by a boxing exhibition from
the class In boxing conducted by,
Messrs. Best, Hewitt and Halo. After
the general exhibition, Hale and Hew
itt "mixed" for a lively .bout, and tho
men" proved to tho spectators that
they, had more than tho ordinary abil
ity. The ducking and footjwork of
those men was exceptionally good, and
they did not appear to bo afraid to
land on each other when the oppor
tunity presented itself.
The glrlB second-year class in gym
nastics gave a drill led by Miss Towno.
This, as well as tho weaving dance
by tho girls, was the strong feature
of tho program. They .showed tho
course of training that tho students
have undorgond to bring about so
nearly a perfect drill. Tho applause
was very liberal when tho girls loft
the floor and even more so after tho
weaving dance. Tho weaving dance
was something now to Lincoln people,
as It had never beep put on boforo
in the Armory, but it Is quite likely
that It will become a permanont feature-in,
gymnastic entertainments horo-
nfter, . ,
Following tho girls' drill thoro was
.an ovont which furnished as much en
tortalnmont as 'anything on the pro
gram. This was the apparatus work
dono by tho first-year students. Squads
of ten had been selected for the six
different pieces of work, and with
the Cadet Band playing, this part of
the program was indeed very good;
The second'year class gave some long
horse "w.orJc Immediately- After this
part of the program. The Hamburg
r drill, given by these students, was one
of the prettiest drills- on the list. The
, raef" dressed in white duck trousers,
shirt waists and canvas shoes, and
drilling without any commands,
brought forth many exclamations of
praise, from the audience?
The Inter-class relay race proved to
be a victory for the. - Freshmen, with

tho Sophomores a close second. Tho
classes finished In their "numerical or
der, ono, two, throe, and Seniors, or
fourth-year students, last.. The time
was very good, being 1:0G. Tho Soph
omores had some hard luck, for two
of their men fell. Just boforo tho
relay race tho gymnastic team that
will roprosont Nebraska in the West
ern Intercollegiate Gymnastic meet
gave two stunts each on the horizontal
and. parallel bars and the flying rings.
Tho work was very good, although
some of the men were unfortunate In
having tho mats slip.
Dr. Clapp closed tho, program with
an exhibition of fancy Indian j club
swinging. Ho had tho clubs Illumi
nated with gasoline, and tho electric
lights being turned out, this ma'do a
Very pretty effect. '
Tho exhibition was as much of a
success financially as It was otherwise.
Something like $100 will be cleared, as
$125 was taken- in at tho door, and
tho expenses wore very small this
year. This will be sufficient to bear
the expenses of the gymnastic team to
Madison, Wis.
Dr. Clapp wishes to thank tho stu
dent committee, Crltes, Myers, Van
Orsdel, Jorgensen, Lundln and Ram
soy, for their help n carylng on tho
exhibition, .

DEFEATALUMNAE
8ENIOR8 WIN A CL08E GAME OF
BA8KET.BAj-y
8core of 21-19 Result of 8enlor Girls
Vs. Alumnae Gamo on Satur
day In the Armory.
Tho vnrsity girls defoatod tho alum
nae at basket ball on Saturday aftor
noon. MIbs Pound and Mrs. Clapp had
gathered In nil their old protogos from
out over tho state for this contest, but
thoy woro unablo to conquor tho Ne
braska varsity girls. If reports aro
true, tho alumnae team lacked a llttlo
In wind whon it came to playing tho
fast first team. Tho score at the end
of tho game stood 21-10.
At tho start of tho gamo It looked as
If the varsity girls woro doomed to
their flrBt defeat in sovoral yoars, for
tho opponents seemed to rush thorn off
their feet, and tho score was all for
tho alumnao. But the team -work of
the varsity girls soon came into uso
and. thoy played all around tho old
stars ot tho gamo. It appoarod -as if.
somo of tho alumnao wore, glued to
tho floor from tho way thoy moved.
Again and again tlmo was called for
rest and tho opponents of tho varsity .
would quietly steal away for a few
seconds of fresh air.
At tho beginning of tho second half
the alumnao mado tho samo phenome
nal start, but, alas,, they must soon
tiro from the stronuousness, and tho v
varsity again obtain -a bad.. From
this until tho end the varsity wore
tho winners, although It wasvdry
close. Tho alumnao contend that thoy
did not want to spoil the record of "
tho varsity, consequently thoy did not
rush tho gamo as -much as thoy would
have .otherwise. But thoy must bo tJL
commended for the excellent gamo
thoy put up without any previous
practice, A few years ago dn alumnao ff'
team attempted to lower the varsity'
banner, but thoy woro hopolossly de
feated by arscor& ot 43-4.
Some of the alumnao who mado up
tho toam woro: Misses Pound, fJansa,,
Sly and Towno.
To Award Medals. x
Captain Worklzor has decided upon
tho medals to bo given at competitive
drill on May 25th. Besides1 tho regu
lar medals glvon to those winning, In
individual 'competition, ho has added
a trumpet for tho best trumpeter In
tho squall, This Is a personal gift
from.l Captain Worklzor and ho off era '
iti'to urge tho trumpeters to strive
for excellence in tholr work. Novor
boforo has any prize been offered the
men for this work and this should bo
the means of reviving much lost spirit
among the trumpeters.
Tho regular prizes of a gold medal

competitive, and a silver medal for tho
second best will be awarded this year.
Besides this, a gold medal will be
giyen tho best drilled man In the ar
