It is quite probable however that by tomorrow the fever of the base ball fans will have spread sufficiently about the campus to guarantee a good attendance at the next practice. Unless such prove true predictions are that it will not be possible to form two teams for practice for the numbers so far are not great enough to compose two nines. Those signed up on the bulletin board are expected ot turn out for regular practices and thus promote this the most ideal of all the co-ed sports.

Last Saturday when the first tryouts were held, the weather conditions and due to the fact that moHt ot the men took part In Hie Liberty Loan Parade, a number ot the members of the team were unable to be out on the track in the after noon. However, the tryouts were of an exceptional good caliber then and with the addition of the other men on the squad the events this afternoon should prove very interesting. The events for which places will be com peted will be places on the four re lay teams and in the 100-yard dash. There are a number of new men com ing out every week and it looks as though Nebraska would turn out a cracker-Jack of a track team. The spring football practices are still in progress, although most of the men are out for the different places on the track team, Coach Stewart is very anxious that as many of the men who are planning on get ting out for the team next fall turn out now and get the advantage of the spring workout.

B. Alexander will be held May 11 on the city campus in the morn ing, and a big vaudeville program, supper and dancing at Capital Beach In the afternoon. The climax to the afternoon festivities will be the tap ping the Innocents and Black Masque. Indications point to the biggest and best program ever given on Ivy Day. The patriotic pageant is a new thing and will be one of the big numbers ot the celebration. The Interest in the day's events Is heightened by the question of who the May Queen will be and who will be chosen for the Innocents and Black Maque. Both facts are withheld from the inquisi tive public until the events come off. The May Queen is the choice of all the senior girls and to be elected for this office is one of the most coveted honors which come to University students. To be chosen for member ship in the Black Masque, the honor ary senior girls' sorority, and the In nocents .the honorary senior boys' fra ternity is also one of the highest and most coveted honors to be awarded to a student. The members of the latter organizations themselves do not know who they will be and so all the mom tonse excitement Is aroused.

MUST REGISTER FOR SENIOR PLAY TODAY Tryouts Will Be Held Immedi-ately--Men are Especially Needed for the Cast The senior play committee has planned to begin work on the senior play immediately, although the class Is somewhat handicapped because of war conditions, it decided at Its last meeting that this tradition should be upheld at all costs.

Admission 30 Cents BARS LET III FOR UNI. RIGHT Joy to Go Unrestrained Next Saturday Evening KID TOYS WANTED Everybody to' Co-Operate In Making Nebraska University Base Hospital Carnival Best Affair of Season All religious scruples will be let down and Joy will be unrestrained at tho Nebraska University Base Hos pital carnival at the Armory next Sat urday night. Two hundred fifty dol lars are to be raised by lottery wheels, fish ponds, white elephant sales and auctions to go to the Nebraska hos pital unit now in training at Ft. Dea Moines, in preparation to service In France. Every student and organization In school must dig up all the childhood toys, trinkets, nick nacks and play things he can lay his hands on and turn them over to the carnival com mittee. Students have accepted with firm resolution the task of doing at least something for the only official repre sentative unit of the University the Nebraska Base Hospital and the prophecy of yesterday seems already fulfilled the last of the University parties for the year, the Base Hospital Carnival to be held in the Armory Saturday night, is to be the biggesf and best of the year. The entire proceeds of the carnival will ko to nurchase equipment tor the hospital unit now stationed at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, in a two months period of training before their leave for France. The unit at present has scarcely its required minimum ot equipment and the University has as yet done nothing for the fifty men who left school two weeks ago. Rather than conduct another tag dav on the caroDus the committee de cided that students be given a chance to get together in the work and at tne same time be able to get some added pleasure out of the giving. For that reason there have been provided raffle wheels of all descriptions and auction sales and an endless variety of fun-machines to which the students may contribute what they consider their share of the equipment fund. Students and faculty members or others interested have been .asked to contribute articles to be sold to the auction committee. These are to be left at the Student Activities' office. The decision to ask for contributions from the students came from the be lief that there were many who would want to give who did not have the money but possessed some article which they felt they could give. It Is hoped that every student who can possibly give any thing that could be raffled off or sold at auction Saturday evening will leave whatever they have at the activities office as five hundred articles are necessary to Insure the success of the carnival.
