THB NBJ3RASKAN L Tint iNTitRitsT aroused in athletics by the interstate foot bull contests between Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri, has been very great. The rivalry be tween the various colleges has stimulated each to re newed energies and has increased the enthusiasm of the students for their own particular institution. Why should not this action be carried into all lines of ath letics? An interstate Field-day would bring out the very best material in the different schools. There would then be some inducement for a man to train hard and do his very best to win. As it now is but few of our athletes care to go out to the fair grounds each year and contest for a pair of shoes or a bottle of pickles before a small audience. Our tennis players have never had sufficient oppor tunities for measuring their skill with outsiders. As a result we have not produced may experts along this line. A base ball league would prove a great stimulus to this much neglected sport. In the past we have played anybody and everybody that would play with us. Very little interest has been taken in the club by thestudent body and as a consequence very little progress has been made. Last year a very encouraging start was made towards an interstate "meet." If sufficient interest is mani fested by the various colleges there is no reason why very successful contests may not be held this year. Let the University of Nebraska do all in her power to bring about the desired conditions. UNIVERSITY CALENDAR. Chancellor, .... Registrar, .... Librarian, .... Secretary and Steward, Accountant, ....

The Prairies, I love the wide, wide prairies, Where the western breezes blow, Wheie amidst the tremulous grasses The fragile wild (lowers grow. Where the gopher whistles shrilly, Beside his fresh made mounds, Where over the level distanee The cry of the crane rcsouiuh. Where the curlew and the plover Build their nests on the tufted sod, And the meadow lark upsoaring Sings morning hymns to God. Where, with a joy transcendent, The melodious bobolink With a chain of jeweled music Sterns heaven and earth to link. I love the level prairies, Where no shadow ever shrouds The candid, smiling landscape, Save the moving shade of clouds. Where the dew and the rain and the sunlight, And the birds and the very air, Seem one great poem proclaiming That God is everywhere. William Reed Dunkoy. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. Pros., A. S. White.
