INDOOR CONTEST A SUCCESS
Good Records Were Mnac in Every
Event.
WERE HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR
Tho Boxing Match Kmlfl In a Ddr.iw
Tim High Jump Record of Last
Yuor Is UnUcJ Two Inohos
Somo Other Records.
Tho second annual Indoor contest proved
a succss, especially on the part ot tho con
tcstants, Tho three mou that took par'
in Inst year's contest made tho sains over
their records of last your, and still hold
the championship on their events.
Tho number of men this year, was two
grca.or than Inst year.
While making altowanco for tho higher
scale ot marking, tho records wero de
cidedly a strong gain over those of last
year. The marking was cons.derably high
er on tho rope Jump than any other event.
As it came last and the unfortunate con-
tsUnts were compelled to lump with only
the gas light from tho gnllory, the ovont
was ra'her iinnlfotry Whll ih
crowd was not very large, tho Interest was
not lacking from those present-
Tho program opened by u three round
boxing match by two pup'.ls of Jack Host,
E. V. Curtain and A, Glaze. Just before
the announcement of .he opening, a twenty-four
foot r.ng was marked oft on the
floor and tho crowd knew what It niAtnU
Curtain and Glaze took scats In chairs
in the diagonal corners of t'.ie ring and
pulled on the heavily padded gloves, Wet
zel acted as referee and called the men to
shake hands. Bo.h men Jumped up and
lost no t.mi) In starting.
First round Both made pusses with no
hard blows. Glaze continued to follow Cur
tain around tho ring. While they were ap
parently afraid to go at It, they kept a
lively... moy!;-har,K.and. fncth. Glaxo lead
and landeu several blows on .he side of
Curtain's head, and In return reco.vcd
heavy body blows.
Second round This round was mostly
running around chasing and getting away
from each other as if they .mended to
fight twenty or thirty rounds. Curtain
changed his tactics and gave head blows.
Glaze continued to follow Cur.nin up with
both head and body blows.
Third round Curtain opened and was
followed by Glaze giving h.m a trunk
blow. As Glaze made a side hit. Curtain
gave him a pretty straight blow on tho
chin. Glaze did not lose any time in com
ing back and Curtain succeeded in giv
ing Glase three successive face blows.
Curtain's face showed that he had re
ceived several face blows, as .he time was
called the referee announced the match a
draw.
The fifteen men divided Inio four classe
and a person was kept b -v trying to
watch all of them.
The fence vault of last year was leplac-
ed by the long bar snap and was won by
Andreason at D feet 8 inches, with a close
second at S ; ( inches by Hill. Shot
throw of 35 feet C inches which was a rec
ord breaker, was thrown by Martz.
Tho pole vault was raised two inches
hlghi'i than last year by Benedict, and
Brothers, who made 8 feet 10 Inches.
The high Jump which Is coming up near
the good records was broken In good shape
for .wo Inches bettor han last year by
Andreason who broke his own record of
last yonr whloh was at that time two
inches higher than any other Jump.
The rope Jump was taken by Benedict
who boo rod on this one event 161 poln.s,
which gave him a decided lead of over
thirty-two points, over the other contes
tants. The three events that were tho
same ns last year were broken. Tho even
ing training class will continue its work
to the end of the year as an Intercolleg
iate field meet Is being planned for be
tween Doane, Wesleyand and the univer
sity. After such records as were made,
the university is now able to go out side
the campus with her athletes. By a lit
tle more Uainlng l-'jt thought that the
pole vault can bo easily raised to nine feet
or over. The high Jump to five feet six
Inches, and practice work on shot putting
can bring up the record.
There are many other men who by prac
tice can be made to do excellent work.
Hill, who has made his first attempt at
this sort of work can by training do much
better. His muscles stand oul full and
round, and It was a fine sight to see him
enapjrom thenar.

Mr. G.A.Lovcland giwa short hut verv
Intores.lng talk boforojtho pollt'cnl econ
omy club Inst Wednesday evening and the
practical workings of the wenther bureau,
and Its application.) tpijvury day life. Ho
said In part: T
"Tho weather bureau today is a direct
development ot .he signal corps ot the
army, nnd Is an outgrowth of the slgnnl
service of the lato wan It represents ap
plied meteorology, an lias ct is not fully
developed as tho science ot meteorology
has only been studied during .ho last
twenty-live years.
"The results and advantages of tho
wonther bureau are often underestimated
by those who know nth'ng about the sub
ject. The weather bureau has 150 s.atlons
employing 300 men, and receives and an
nual appropriation of, about $!'00,000. It
saves every year, property many times 1
more valuable than the cost ot the bureau
Itself.
"Forecasting severe storms Is the real
and principal purpose ot tho bureau. Of
nil the forecasts made, over eighty-two
percent may lw considered as certain of
fulf Ument.
"The mar.ne warnings are the most im
portant Issued 'byfetbe weather bureau.
These are forecasts of severe storms on
the-eshore, orVthe"great lakes, and are
Verj useful t In showing the sea captain
'whether 'it Is'safo to put to sea.
' "The value ot these forecasts Is easily
hown,4if. jJteif4ri2tHltyiousands oLsea
captalns consider the warnings of Europe
Important enough to Justify their staying
.n port, a day or two longer than they
o.hcrwlso would.
"The cold wave signal Is next In Impor
tance to the storm warnings. Xo cold ot
unusual intensity now .'comes unhoraldod
and thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty have been saved by these forecasts.
The cold wave signal affects all classes of
people and when It Is seen, preparations
for cold weather are made by the farmer,
cattle ralsor, frui. grower, florist and oth
ers. "In connection with the weather bureau
are tho weekly crop bulletins. They havo
been established for the purpose of get
ting reports of the crop conditions and
thus frustrating .he designs of specula
tors who vvilfully misrepresent the con
dition of the crops in order to affect tho
maiket.
"Much of tho work of tho weather bur
eau Is done wholly without nay. It la
were not for this, on accouiu of thu small
appropriation for this purpose, tho bur
eau could not covor the wide Held which
It now does."
DOANE vs. THE U. of N.
On Tuesday, April 13, Doane college will
try her luck with our base ball toam. Th s
Is our opening game, and our boys prom
ise to show what a swift game they will
put up this season.
Tho game will be p'yod on the campus,
and will bo called at 3 o'clock sharp. The
grounds will be a ll.tlc cramped, but the
management thought It best 10 play the
games on a ground hand)" for tlio Audents
so that thoy will not lose any time un
necessarily. No attempt will bo made to
put up a fence to shut out the view, but
the student, It Is presumed, will co-oier-
ate with tho team in making the season h i
grand success. Those not wishing to pay
a quarter to see the gamo will have
enough self respect not to stand outside,
or crowd the windows, and sponge off tho
Jeam. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
For this opening game the lad'es will
be admitted free, and It Is hoped thoy will
appreciate the offer by turning out In a
body. It Is regretted that a grand stand
cannot be placed at their disposal, but
one will be ercc.ed as soon as the treas
ury warrants. ,

AGU1CULTUKE COUBSE CHANGED.
Professor Lyon has Just announced sev
eral Impor.ant changes In tho studies of
his departmonu Heretofore tho agricul
tural group has consisted of twenty-six
and one fifth courses, of which sixteen nnd
three tilths were required work. It con
tained a large number of different scien-
titlc subjects, which wore thought .0 bo
too general for this course. It Is now de
signed to have a course thnt will prepare
students for taking tho civ.l service oxam-
.laatlona.inthg. department ot agrlfiul.ure.
at Washington, and also to lit them for
experiment stnt'on work In the different
states. In order to bring this abou , the
agriculture group has been arranged with
but very little required work, which
amounts to ten and one llf.h courses. This
leaves a great deal of t.me for any spec
ialty In which tho student Is luterestod.
For instance. If any student Is going to
take an exnm. nation for work in one of
the divisions of the depar mont of ngr.cul-
ture. he must have perfec.td himself
along one particular line of work. la or
der thr.t he shall have time to do this dur
ing his college course, it Is doslred that
he take as much time as possible In .hat
particular branch.
The department of agrlculturo at Wash
ington includes the divisions of agricul
ture soils, agrostology, botany, chem'stry,
animal Industry, dairying, entomology,
horticulture and forestry. Tho appoint
ment to positions in these divisions are
all made on tho basis of tho Illness of the
applicant for the position and no; by pol
itical influence. xnm.n.tions are re
quired of all applicants who naturally
come from the agricultural colleges of the
different states.
At prehen. tho university of Nebraska
Is well represented in tho agricultural de
lmrtment at Washington. Thoro are cou
nseled with this department tho follow
.ng graduates of the, university; H. J.
Weber. A. F. Woods. J. G. Smith. T. A.
Williams and P. A. Bydlerg. Mr. It. A.
Emerson who graduates .his year will al-
so enter upon his duties In the office of
th- experiment station at Washington.
at the clow of th.s semester.

methods.
Miss Spurck's paper on "Physical Edu
cation for Children" was much appreciat
