Nebraska started off the baseball
season Saturday at Crete by Bhuttlng
out Doano 4 to 0 The reconstructed
toam that represented Nebraska on
the. diamond played up to topnotch
form and at no time was the outcome
In doubt. Haskell was the star of the
contest, figuring in three brilliant
double plays, getting threo hits In
four times at bat, stealing five basefl
and scoring two of tho four runs.
Rodman pitched tho whole game and
was Btoady throughout, pitching great
ball for an early season game. The
score by innings:
R.H.E
Nebraska ...00101000 21 B 3

Yannlgans Defeated.
Yesterday tho 'varsity put in a good
day's practico by walloping tho Yan
nlgans In a hard batting conteHt, with
Schmidt In the box for tho 'varsity
Towlo and Haskell pulled off several
spectacular fielding plays, while Hyde,
Groves. Van Clove. Oliver and Huol
did good work with the stick. Two
now faces appeared In the 'varsity
lineup for trials, Hall behind tho bat
and Hart at Bhortstop. Roth mon put
up a good fielding gamo, but are
rather weak at tho bat.
Tomorrow at 3:30 o'clock Nebraska
will meet Tarkio College on Nebraska
field. Ry that time both Pearson and
Underwood will likely bo ollglblo, as
both mon have been making up their
back work within tho last few days
Coach Stlehm Is expecting a close,
hard gamo and In all probability will
ubo Rodman or Schmidt in tho box.
A twenty-five cent piece or a season
ticket will admit to tho game
Three Mentioned for Captain.
Now that Carr Is out of tho running,
tho captaincy question is again bob
bing up. Haskell has been promi
nently mentioned for tho position, but
has so far refused to allow his name
to appear, feeling that since this Is
his first year In athletics, some older
man should have It Three other men
being mentioned by their friends for
tho position are Towle, Rodman and
Hyde. All of these havo boon
playing great ball and are third year
mon In school, all being registered In
tho law college.
Today spring football practico will
commence under tho leadership of
Owen Frank. Spring practico was in
augurated at Nebraska several years
ago, but has never proved very suc
cessful owing to tho fact that a ma
jority of the men were occupied with
some other sport. Hut tho largo bunch
of promising material developed in
tho freshman squad last year moans
that these men wll roport to learn a
few of the finer points of tho gamo in
order to be In the best possible shapo
In the fall
So far about ten mon, mostly fresh
men, have reported to Frank, and
moro are expected to roport before
the week Is over
