BASEBALL SEASON CLOSES
Unsuccessful Trip Through Hawkeye
State Ends Games On Diamond
This Spring. Only Frat
Games Remain.
The athletic field yepterday was al
most completely debited except for
a ft w track men who were working
Tmr
ttey meet to
be held uel Saturday afternoon at
St. Louis. The purpose for making
a veiy creditable showing in thin
meet an not very encouraging. Chi
cago and Illinois are entered and are
strong in the events in which the
Cornnu8kers have their strength.
Kansas has in Ilazen and Patterson
a couple of men who are countedd up
on as being certain point winners,
while Nicholson of Missouri, of
Olympic fame, is almost certain o
taking both of the hurdle races. With
the points so divided and Nebraska
strong in the events in which the
other schools are most proficient, the
chances are not very bright for Ne
braska in this meet
The baseball season has closed at
Nebraska except for a few fraternity
games which are yet to be played.
The Varsity came back from their
victoryless trip last Sunday after
having lost all of the games on the
schedule. The closest game played
was with Simpson, it being a one-to
nothing affair. The other games were
not as spectacular as the one with
Simpson. The inability to hit in tho
pinches was the main weakness with
the Varsity. If the games had been
played on home territory no doubt
the results would have been much
different
Fraternity baseball has almost dwin
dled out with the approach of the ex
aminations and the warm weather
The l'hi Kappa Psls took a game
from the Sigma Phi Epsilons last
Saturday by a scoie of 5 to 2 The
Phi Psis weie able to accumulate lour
hits off KriKac but errors were re
sponsible for the defeat of the Sigma
Phis
This gives the lead in the second
division to the Sigma Alpha Epsllon
team with a perfect average. The
Sigma Phi learn meets the Sig Alpha
this afternoon at 1 o'clock and this
game will probabl decide the cham
pionship of the second division for
most of tht games not already played
will be forfeited to the stronger
teams. The Delta Tau team won
their game by forfeit from the Kappa
Sigma nine. This leaves the Delta
Taus to fight it out with the winners
of the second division for the cham
pionship of the Inter-fraternity league.
Gretchen Williamson of Omaha,
Irene Brown and Marguerite Schnei
der of Fremont were visitors at the
Delta Gamma house last week.

aha it was brought out in the Chan
cellor's address that Miss Alice 11.
Ensign, has resigned her position as
Dean of Women of the University
The resignation of Miss Ensign was
accepted by the Hoard of Rgonts
The resignation of Miss Ensign
comes as something of a surprise and
is a source ol regrei to her many
fronds among the faculty and stu
dents Her reason for resigning,
hmnunr Is ii pnnd mip :m eni-rlg nt
bee n received announcing her engage
ment to Mr Charles Theodore Eland
er. of Chicago The marriage will
probabl occur some time this sum
iik r. and the new home of the bride-to-be
will be in Chicago

Senior Play to be
Run Without Usual
Assessment of Class
Contrary to what has been the cus
tom In the past, the Seniors do not
face the u-ual Senior Play assess
ment Previously a condition prece
dent to the giving of the annual class
play was a levy ot two dollars on
each Senior, the receipt for which
entitled him to two seats for the per
formance. ThL method, however, has
been the subject ot so much abuse In
the past that the present play man
agenu-nt decided to discaid it alto
get her
In speaking of this action, Fied
McConnrll, chairman of the Senior
Pla Committie said, "The Senior
Pla has neer depended entircl. upon
the senior class for support It is
usually well patronized by the stu
dents of the Unhersity and b a con
siderable number ol Lincoln people
Jt is unfair, theiefore, that the seniors
should have to stand in advance an
arbitrary assessment to insure the
play's financial success when the same
end can be obtained by a legitimate
sale of tickets to those who really
want them We have a play this year
that will make a frank appeal to
everybody. It is a play which on
account of its popularity with the
theatre-going public wll win support,
and make "unnecessary the lovying of
an assessment in order to insure a
good audience."
Two performances of "Pillars of
Socioty" will Ife given, Thursday af
ternoon and night, June 5. The ad
vance sale of tickets will commence
at tho. Oliver, next Monday morning,
I June 2.

PUBLIC TO BE INVITED
DRAMATIC CLUB TO GIVE FREE
PERFORMANCE OF BERNARD
SHAW'8 "CANDIDA."
FLORENCE HOSTETTLER IN LEAD
Strong Cast Selected To Present Diffi
cult Work. Object To Stimu
late Interest In the Heav
ier Plays.
Gratified with the success of "Tho
Romancer" on the eenlng of Ivy
Day, the University Dramatic Club
-nrrl i-follow up Itn dcairo-ttr-rHny legl
tlmate drama, by presenting George
Bernard Shaw's "Candida," next
Thursday night in the Temple. Four
hundred Invitations havo been sent by
members of the club to their friends,
but admission to tho play Is opon to
the general public free of charge. Re
served seats for the performance can
be had at the Temple box office from
10 to 12 on Wednesday and Thurs
daj "Candida" according to Shaw's bi
ographer, Archibald Henderson, Is -his
greatest play, although not tho
longest or most elaborate. It Is a
play that the Dramatic Club has
often thought of playing for many
years but for various reasons has put
off until the present time. It Is a
difficult piece to present, but a strong
cast has been selected to do tho work.
Miss Hostettler In Lead.
Miss Florence Hostettler will carry
the title role; Donald Marcollus the
part of "Morrell"; Fred McConnell,
"Marchbanks"; Miss Esse Jones,
"Prosperino"; II. Mulligan. "Loxy";
and Robert Gerlau, "Burgess." These
people have been solocted because 6t
their peculiar adaptability for the
parts assigned to them, and It is felt
that their presentation of tho play will
be well worth the seeing. The play
Is being coached under the personal
direction of Miss Florence Farman,
who is plaviirg the leading role in tho
"Pillars of Society," which Is to be
glen by the Seniors, a week later.
Not Seeking Credit.
"The idea of tho Dramatic Club giv
ing a free performance of "Candida",
said a prominent member of tho or
ganization to the Nebraska scribe "Is l
an experinunt, the results of which
we will all be interested in. We hope -It
will prove successful, not for tho
particular credit that it will reflect,
upon the Club, but more for what it.
will do to stimulate un Interest In
and an appreciation of some of the
good things that have been written,
and do not ordinarily fall Into the
hands of amateurs. With the Dra
matic Club next Thursday night, it is
a matter of 'art for art's sake,' notliV
ing more nor loss."
The D. G. V. will hold its last
regulur meeting at the home of Hel
en DJnsmoro, 1441 South. Eleventh
street, Weddnesday evening, May 28.
