Underwood's Pinch Hit in Final Inning
Scores Winning Run Cold Pre
vents Spectacular Work.
In a loosely played game, marked
by an exciting ninth inning finish, No
braska yesterday afternoon defeated
Tarkio College 7 to G. The chilly
afternoon made the playing slow and
llatleBS, whllo numbed hands and feet
made the fielding look like a high
performance at times.
A goodly number of rooters wit
nessed the contest and bent all of
their efforts to keeping warm and
helping the 'varsity pull the game out
of the fire in the ninth inning, 'n
view of tho weather conditions, the
players all Bhowed up well, and under
more favorable temporature should
prove to tho satisfaction of the Btu
dent body that Nebraska has not for
gotten how to play baseball.
8chmidt Pitches Well.
Schmidt started in the box for the
'varBity and pitched an excellent
game The cold hampered his work,
but Tarkio made only three hits in
the live Innings that he pitched, while
he Btruck out four men. Shmra, who
went in at the beginning of the sixth
lasted only one inning. Tho Tarkio
batsmen soon found him and an
nexed two ruiiB to their total. Shmra
is a young pitcher and this was his
first game with tho 'varBity. Rodman
took the mound in the seventh and
started to mow tho batters down. The
first three men that faced him met
only empty air in futile swings at ho
ball.
Pyres pitched tho whole game for
the visitors and twirled steady ball
throughout. He weakened In tho sec
ond and fourth innings, allowing Ne
braska to drive in three runs in each
inning.
Oliver and Harte Hitting Stars.
Harte caught for the 'varsity, and
although a little weak on throwing to
second, he caught a good game and
was NebraBka's strong man at the
hat, getting a three bagger and a sin
gle. The single came when needed,
while ho scored as a result of his ex
tra base hit. Oliver got three hits in
five times at bat and fielded his posi
tion in great shapo. Flory, Towle and
Kirk did the sensational fielding of
tho game. In tho third Inning Flory
mado tho feature catch of the game,
nailing a faBt drive that looked good
for two bases by spearing it with a
back-hand Btab. Iater Towle ran far
out Into right fleldyafter a fly near
tho first base foul line, robbing the
batsman of a suro hit. Kirk grabbed
a hard hit ball off Haskell's bat after
a hard run.
Tarkio Looks Dangerous.
Tarkio came up in tho fifth and
mado two runs, duplicating it in the
Bixth and things began to look inter
esting, but when the visitors tied tho
scoro In tho ninth It looked like an
extra inning gamo. HaBkoll camo up
In Nebraska's half of tho ninth and
walked. Towle sacrificed him to sec
ond and Hydo worked the pitcher for
a pasB. Oliver, tho next man up, laid
one down In front of the pitcher, who
tried to catch Haskell going to third,

ANNUAL INSPECTION TRIP
PLANS NOW BEING MADE FOR
ENGINEERS HEGIRA TO
OMAHA.
Every year the engineers make a
trip of inspection to Omaha under the
auspiceB of the A. I. E. E. Tho days
set for this year are May .1 and 4,
leaving Friday morning about 7:00
o'clock and returning Saturday night.
The program this year will probably
include Armour's plant, the street
railway sub-station, Union Pacific
shops, People's Ice and Cold Storage
plant. Florence pumping station, the
Nebraska Telephone Company's
switchboard, street railway plant,
electric light plant, and the smelter.
The alue of such a trip Is shown
by the fact that almost all engineer
ing schools the bI.o of Nebraska or
larger make it compulsory for their
juniors and seniors Many of the men
that went last year are planning on
going again this year. While the up
perclasBinen will receive more good
from such a trip than the underclass
men, yet all Bhould go if possible. All
men going will bo excused from
class for those two days.
The expenses are about $5.00, which
are very small compared to the value
of such a trip. All desiring to go
should register with tho head pro
fessor of their depai iment or boo ono
of the committee. Tho members of
the committee are; Fred A. Wirt,
chairman, Sam Carrier, C. K. Paine
and L A Arms.
Four Enter Dramatic Club.
C. L Stewart, II. R Mulligan, S. A.
McCandleBB and Helen Sawyer were
elected to membership In the Dra
matic Club at a special tryout held
Tuesday morning. This tryout was
held for the benefit of those who did
creditable work In tho regular tryout
a few weeks ago and upon whom tho
judges desired to pass further Judgment.
University events are beginning to
crowd upon each other. The Univer
sity authorities in charge of the Tem
ple report an unusual number of
dates scheduled, even for this time of
the year.
According to MIsb Ensign's book,
Music hall of the Temple Is engaged
for every Friday and Saturday night
the rest of the year, except May III.
The Temple theatre Is even more
popular. Play practices, lectures and
convocations are scheduled for It
every day except four of the two
months left. Oftentimes there are as
many as three events in it during one
day.
The other rooms in the Tomplo are
almost as much in demand. It Is
probable that during tho month of
.May every room In the Temple will be
used each night.

'TIS REAL JOKE SECTION
LIVE CARTOONS AND JESTS WILL
BE FEATURE OF THIS YEAR'S
CORNHUSKER.
From various sources it has come to
the CornliUBker staff that some of tho
students have the Idea that tho joke
section of this year's annual will not
be anything unusual, as has been
Btated in several previous reviews of
the work being dono on tho book.
If this Is tho idea with any student
in the University of Nebraska, it is
tho desire of tho editor of tho Corn
husker that he lend him his ears a mo
ment. The Joko section of tho book
is the department that has received
the most attention and money. As
cartoonists such well known artists
as Fay Blanc-hard. Don Wood. Ado An
derson and Paul Sturges have given a
large share of their time and experi
ence to produco tho very best take
offs on things we all will laugh about.
As a result of this labor, something
over one hundred and twenty-five car
toons havo been accepted, and per
haps that many or more have been
turned down. As for tho art work,
when tho Btaff sayB Miss Bernico
Hranson is doing that, there ought to
ho enough said everybody knows
what Miss Branson is capable of do
ing. Coming to tho Jokes, perhaps more
havo been thrown away than accept
ed, and oven at that, tho Btaff haB
more on hand now than It knows what
to do with.
At present, tho above statement is
exactly how tho situation Btands. If
any further proof is needed to sub
stantiate these remarks, tho only
thing the staff can asK"Ts that tho
person not believing tho details as set
forth will come in and see for himself.
Quite Plausible.
"Why do so many of tho fellowa go
to tho bjg dancea, stag?"
"On the account of the scarcity of
doe, perhaps. Cornell Widow.
Tho masculino members of tho
"Rag" reportorlal Btaff wore tho
gueBts of the editors at tho Orphoum
last evening For once they were not
asked to take notos or "rush In" their
reports and laughed uproariously at
the Jokea and near JokeB. Tho per
formers, somewhat unnerved by tho
presence of bo many critical spectators
broke down at times, but on tho wholo
put up a very credltablo exhibition.
Thirteen Attend.
Tho fact that thero were Just thir
teen In tho assembly cast no gloom
on their spirits. With one accord
they adjourned to Folsom'B, whoro
tho reporters reciprocated by tender
ing the editors a sumptuoiiB feaat.
Here the serious business of tho even
ing was traiiBacted- Roosevelt was
elected president, the baseball team
was praised, the athletic field was
christened "Engberg Field," and a
firm resolution was made to resist tho
attacks of offended readers by here
after gleaning all the news In exist
ence. Thoso who attended the celebration
were: John Cutrlght, Morrill Reed,
Cloyd Stewart, Vincent Hascall, Ken
neth Snyder, Homer Hewitt, J. K.
Lyman, Hugh Agor, H. M. Bochtor,
Fred McConnell, Earlo Taylor, Burton
Hill and Searle HolmeB.
