DISCOVER NEW CAUSE
OF EIRD'S DEATH
A new method by which birds come
to their death has been called to the
attention of the department of
zoology. Lecently several birds have
been brought to the departm nt.
which have been killed from o .w-et
with telephone and telegraph wires
in their flight. In most cases the
birds wero seen to fly against the
wires. It is presumed that they are
unable to discern the wires until it is
too late, and flying as they do at such
a high rate cf spac-d, simplifies their
destruction.

LITTLE GREEN THEATRE
HERE ANOTHER SUMMER
Clever Method of Entertainment Af
forded Citizens and Members of
Summer School Session.
The summeik school students and
the people of Lincoln are again to
enjoy the cool comfort and splendid
entertainment offered by the Campus
Players in their unique Little Green

summer and carried into effect with

an experiment.
California already supports several
of these open air theaters and some
of them have a nation-wide reputa
tion. New York Michigan. Ohio and
several other states have their quota
of outdoor theaters. Nebraska is now
copying after these states and their
theaters but is for an advance In
ambitions and methods.
The Little Green theater will have
modern stage completely equipped
with curtains and light. As an addi
tion to the stage equipment there has
been built a permanent cyclorama
with the necessary lighting equipment
snd a sounding board at the rear of
the stage. Two small dressing rooms
will be built to accommodate the
players.
The Campus Players are composed
of older members drawn from the
University Flayers and the alumni.
They will produce three new one-act
plays each week, the nights of per
formance being Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday of each week begin
ning June 7 and continuing until July
14. The plays will be selected care
fully from a large list compiled from
the efforts of the leading American
and European playwrights. Heavy
royalties will be paid to secure the
hfst plays available. The staff of
the Campus Players is as follows:
II. Alice Ifowell, director; Irma Wolfe
Coombs, business and advertising
manager; C. S. Coombs, stage man
ager and electrician.
Ibe first three performances will
be free and will be given Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. June 7. 8 and 9.

for
The Inter-fraternity baseball tourna
nunt was brought to a close yesterday
afternoon when the A. T. O. nine won
rrom the Delta Upsilon by a 22 to 3
count. Poor fielding on the part of
the D. U. men was the chief cause
for the defeat. The A. T. O. nine
presented one of the fastest lineups
seen on the local diamond this season
and have a bunch of sluggers that
would give the varsity a good battle.

for the A. T. O. team, batted 1000
per cent in yesterday's contest, driv
ing out one circuit clout and counting
five scores. Blakely on the mound
for the A. T. O. men proved to have
a baffling delivery and struck out
eleven men. Smaha pitched excellent
ball for the D. U.s but was not sup
ported in the pinches and a large
number of the A. T. O. runs were the
ver.iilt of, had errors.
The A. T. O. men proved their right
to the championship by winning every
contest of the tournament by a large
score.
