DELTA TAU8 WIN.
DR. DAVID RU88ELL.
Exciting Game of Baseball Is Played
in the Wind.
The Delta Taus won a game from
Kappa Sigma yesterday afternoon In
the interfrat ball league. The game
was played In a terrific windstorm and
long before the end of the game most
of the spectators had left.
.One of the best and most exciting
exhibitions of the year was put up
and considering the wind the quality
of ball played was first rate. Mather
pitched a good game, but three of the
four hits made off him were bunched
in the fifth Inning, which, together
with an error, netted inree runs.
The sixth inning opened with the
score 4 to 1 . in favor of the Delta
Taus. The Kappa Sigs, aided by four
errors, made three runs, tielng the
score. The Delts opened up their half
by getting Erskine to third on Mont
gomery's error. The next two men
up were struck out and it looked as
If the game would be an extra Inning
one. Harris relieved the situation,
however, by a pretty single to right,
scoring Erskine and ending the game.

South African Evangelist 8peaks at
the University.
Dr. David Russell, Blnce 1876 an
evangelist and minister in the Natal
and Cape Colony gold mining reglonq
of South Africa, spoke at a special
convocation in Memorial Hall yester
day arternoon. His talk, though brief
and Informal, was most Interesting.
He described briefly the mining re
gion, mining methods, the heterogene
ous population, and some of the na
tive tribes, especially the Zulus, and
gave many interesting anecdotes of
his thirty-two years of life there.
When he went to Natal with the
first gold rush In 1876 "to win souls,"
there were not 25,000 whites in the
province. He has seen Johannesburg
grow from an open prairie to a city of
200,000 population. There are now in
South Africa several colleges, among
them the South African College antl
Victoria College; and many high
schools.
Dr. Russell's first church services in
South Africa were held In a wholesale,
liquor store, without doors or win
dows, It being the only available
building. He described it as "the
queerest church In which the Qospel
of Christ was ever preached." In the
rear they built a gallery out of beer
cases and called it the "beer gallery."
All of the seats were gin and whisky
boxes, as were the platform and the
pulpit, and two "dead marines" served
"candelabra?' There were present at
THsfirst service General Joubert and
staff, later commander-in-chief of the
Boer forces, along with many other
officials of the colony.
Much of Dr. Russell's religious
work has been amoner the Zulus,
whom he described as a people of
magnificent physiques and the most
war-like tribe on earth. There are
many obstacles in the way of the
spread of Christianity among them.

The annual preliminary track moot
will be held Saturday, May 2nd. It
has not yet been definitely decided
whether the meet will take place on
the Athletic Field or at tho Pair
grounds. Muoh interest is being
manifested In tho meet and a groat
many new men uro working every
day.
Tho meet is an open one, every one
in school being eligible to compote,
ruguraiess or the clasB he belongs to
or the condition of his school work.
The outcome of this meet will strong
ly influence Dr. Clapp in his choice of
the men who will represent Nebraska
at Kansas tho following week and also
In the choice of Nebraska's permanent
team. However, If any men develop
sufficiently later in the season to make
them possible members of the team.
mey win be allowed to show what
they can do again.
The program for tho meet will in
clude the same events as the regular
intercollegiate dual meets, aB follows:
One hundred, two hundred and
twenty and four hundred and forty
yard dashes, half mile, mile and two
mile runs, one hundred and twenty
and two hundred and twenty yard
hurdles, pole vault, running high and
running broad Jumps, sixteen pound
hammer throw, sixteen pound shot
put and discUB throw.
It Is intended to have an additional
event in the form of an interclass
relay race. This will probably be a
half mile race, rurTby a team of four
men from each class, each man run
ning 220 yards.
Dr. Clapp desires to Impress upon
all candidates for the team the fact
that only a little over a week remains
before this meet takes place and all
men should bo out every day and
should work hard. There are a good
many of the old track men in school
who have not been getting out regu:
larly. By their failure to be con
scientious In track work they are set
ting a bad example for the" younger
men, they are injuring their, own
chances of doing good work, and they
are to a certain extent working an in
Jury upon the school. Nebraska's
chances for a winning team are good
this year and they should not be less
ened by careless and unconscientious
work.
Hereafter the long distance men
will work f com Ave to six If possible,
and the will be taken 'to the Fair
grounds.
Interest In another branch of ath
letics Is seen to be growing In school
namely, In fencing. Captain Workizev
has offered a foil, mask and plastron
to the. winner of a fencing 'contest to
be pulled off the .latter part of next
month.
Mr. C. A. Rymers, formerly of An
napolis, .and JDr. Clapp will spend con
siderable time from .now on Jn de
veloping men for this cpntest.
