Tho baseball team will be run on dif
ferent lines this year than hereto
fore. Following the rules made by the
faculty n few weeks ago all the players
will have to be chosen from the stu
dent body. There can be no pitcher
from town secured for the season, as
the original Intention seems to have
been. There are s.lx of the last year's
nine In school and probably all of them
will play. This to start on Is a fine
showing. Encouraged by the team's
success last year the manager has
busied himself with making dates with
as many large teams as possible and
the fhnnco for a large number of
games are vary good.
The management seems to be a little
timid about making datesNfor games to
be played at Lincoln. This is due to
the fact 'that a university baseball
ttam has never yet received proper
support by either the citiaens or the
students and because there is no suit
able ball field at present,the M street
park having been plowed up.
The preliminary practice in the ar
omry has been very satisfactory both
In point of numbers engaged in the
work and the results accomplished.
The training consists in arm, leg and
trunk exercises. A hard run of ten
minutes is taken after the exercises,
and the players are all carefully rub
bed down. In addition to the indoor
work there will be some field training
as soon as the weather is mild enough.

'Weirth-e eruth IshTYepltea, "most
of the work in baseball heretofore has
been in noise. It is much easier to
say what ought to be done than it is to

with football. Our boys are beginning
to realize that work is necessary, not
merely talk. We will have for our
motto that homely but, to an athlete,
hrtensely significant expression, "dog

of silence, determination and disci
pline." "But what results do you expect from
your present work in the gymnasium?"

ATHLETIC CONTEST.
The first Indoor all-around athletic
contest ever held at ithe U. of N. will
occur on the evening of Tuesday, March
24. There will be at least a dozen en
tries, enough to make a good compe
tition. The evenjts wIU be ahe pole
vault, fence. ya.ult, running high jump,
shot ithrow ami potato race. It is safe
to -say that nevoT before has so' much
regular athletic training been done ln
the university as has been going on the
last few weeks in the gymnasium. It
will show up on field day. There will be
an admission of io cents to the con'iest.
All the proceeds above $10 will be de
voted by the physical department to
the athletic association for the purchase
or spring apparatus. The association
has never had a hammer or a sixteen
pound shot nnd theve it must have. So
If you wish to help the athlotilc associa
tion and at the same time sw a good
contest come with your best girl and
20 centts. Prizes to the first and second
all-round' winners and to the winner
of ach individual event will be tablets
of oak, carved wslth rthe name and rec
ord of the winner. These will be lasting
and elegant souvenirs of the occasion.

ENGLISH CLUB MEETS.
The English olub met with Mr. Mnc
leod at the home of Judge Tlbbetts
last Saturday evening. In view of his
soon departure Mr. Bates had been
requested to give readings from his
poems, which are soon to be Issued In
book form, In place of a regular pro
gram. Miss Perkins of the conserva-
toryof music and Mr.Lehmer furnished
several musical numbers for the even
ing, which proved a most pleasing in
novationone which It Is hoped will
be continued In the future.
There Is a unlpue and original quality
In Mr. Bates' poetry which pre
eminently Impresses one. It seems to
consist mainly 4n striking phrasing and
Mnexpected transformation of nouns
lfito verbs. This peculiarity of expres
sion, coupled with subject matter, in
tensely, though somewhat morbidly,
Imaginative, results in a quality of
work that, at the least, must attract
attention, and ought to achieve success
for Its author. -
Miss Perkins is one of theibest pian
ists in Lincoln. To some members of
the club, who had not before heard her.
the quick response of Instrument to
player was almost startling, being so
unusual.
Mr. Lehmer's selections were a whist
ling cfo, which, of course, was a "hit,"
and the singing of the "Jabberwach,"
to his own music, at the urgent request
of some who had heard of its fame.
At the business meeting Mr. L. B.
Plllsbury was elected a member of the
club. It was also announced, that the.
chancellor would address' the next reg
ular meeting.
Some time ago an examination was
set at various points in the different

Ex-Congressman Bryan addressed the
Free Silver club of the university
Wednesday evening on the subject,
"The Retirement of the Greenbacks."
There was a large number "of students
nnd townspeople present.
As a preface to his speech he showed
that an Irredeemable currency was
sound so long as It was limited In' quan
tity. He quoted from John Stewart
Mills to prove that It was sound eco
nomics. The question before the American
people, he said, was, "Shall the green
backs be retired?" The people will not
be called upon to decide whether they
will have a credit money or not. But
they must choose between a govern-
ment money and bank moneyT'Botfi'
kinds are credit money. A bank-note
Is a promise to pay In lawful snonej'.
Greenbacks are lawful money and can
be used to redeem bank notes.
In the first place, he was opposed to a
bank of Issue. It was granting a privi
lege to a class. Only a few men can be
bankers. He then showed how the is
sue of bank notes permitted the holders
of bonds to draw interest on their In
vested capital twice. It was not the
business of the government to loan
money and It should not make an ex-,
ception in favor of anyone. A bank
currency leaves the control of its vol
ume in the hands of the bankers. Bank
ers an human and will manipulate it
for their own Interests. The people" are
Interested In the currency and should
have a voice ln Its regulation.
By some, he said, it is argued that we -should
retire the greenbacks because.
we have too much money. Even if we
have too much money, we should retire
the poorest money bank notes. But
xfrenow have less money than at anjv
time in recent years. The government
has hoarded money In her vaults. It is
an inexorable law that prices are de- -pendent
upon the volume of currency.
Prices have fallen and continue to be
low. The late bond issue did not have
the effect of making money plentiful
and raising prices.
The bonds have been bought with gold
drawn from the treasury for that pur
pose. Greenbacks and treasury notes
had been presented for redemption and "
the gold had been used In the purchase
of bonds. This he did not think was '
the best of financiering.
The greenbacks will continue to be .
used as an endless chain until the sec- .
retary of the treasury' exercises his law
ful prerogative to redeem them in goid
or silver. When the greenbacks are re
tired the endless chain will not be
broken. If silver and silver certificates
are to be redeemable in gold it will
continue. ' -
Mr. Bryan will appear before the
members of the club again before the
close of the college year.
The annual business meeting of the '
Y. M. C. A. Saturday evening was well
attended. Reports were received from
the different committees, all showing
that great progress had been made in
the work this year. The association
now has a membership of over two.
hundred, a gain of nearly one hundred
since the first of the year. The mission,
at the corner of Ninth and Z streets,
has proved successful, and it is the in
tention of the association to continue
the work there. The following officers
were elected for the next year: Presi
dent, D. M. Davis; vice-prasldent, R.
P. Teele, recording secretary, John
Boose; corresponding secretary, J. H.
Kuhns; treasurer, R. S. Hunt.
A prospective university student

his mother did not know where he .was.
