Tn tho spring of '02 the XJ. of N. bnso ball loam wns ono which loft nn improssion on ovory tonm it camo in contact with. During that spring tho nine raado a trip through Missouri and Kansas.aud although wo wore be? ton pretty badly several times wo played good ball. Since that year baso ball has boon on tho decline. Enthusiasm seems to bo lacking. Most of tho men on that nine tiro in school now, but they too sooin to havo lost intorost in tho game Ono groat cause of this decline in baso ball is on account of lack of support on tho part of tho stu dents. Tho samo thing was true in foot ball up to last fall. The Kansas trip with all its succossos causevl a revolution among tho students, and tho way they turned out to the Omaha gamo, showed that tho success of foot ball is in sured for tho future Now Chicago University plays tho University Club nine in Om aha on Decoration day. Thoro is no reason why a game cannot bo arranged between our nine and Chicugo Univorsity for the noxt day, say. If several games liko that woro played, the students would turn out to see them. Moro men would turn out as candidates for tho team, if they know they know thoy woro going to run up against such toams as Chicago Univorsity, nnd nines from tho state universities around us. A number of the men on the team who havo boon interviewed as to the advisability of a gamo with Chicago Univorsity rathor discourago tho idea, saying. "We'd got rubbed clear into tho ground." Well, what if wo did. Wo can't learn to play ball by playing all tho little High school nines around Nebraska, and if wc woro beaten protty badly onco or twico, tho reticent ball players in tho univorsity would bestir them selves and got out on tho field. From a monotary standpoint this gamo could oasily bo mado a suc cess, with a little rustling on tho part of a fow onorgotic mon. Lot all baso ball onthusiasts got out and work for this gamo with Chicago. Such a gamo would un doubtedly bo a boom for baso ball in tho Univorsity. Members of tho Tonnis associa tion aro showing much spirit in their playing. Somo of tho games played so far havo boon vory good, and promise strong competition to somo of tho best stato champions. Thoy may bo suro that whatovor honors thoy may carry oil' in tho stato tourna ment will bo much appreciated by th oir follow-studonts. Those i honors aro woll worth an amount of hard work and practico, Tho state championship is within easy roach of somo of our best playors. With a little hard work it may bo attained. Let tho university be placed at tho hoad of clean, manly athletics in tho Stato of Nebraska by ono of our tonnis playors win ning tho medal. It can bo done. Tiik hard work the contestants in the field-day events aro doing merits moro enthusiasm than has been shown. The oxhibition promisos to bo woll worth tho price. Let there bo a good attendance.
