BOYS ARE FLAYING GREAT BALL
Onco on Her Homo Grounds Nebraska
1b Invincible "Tho Best Tcnm In
the West" Dotnlled Scores
of Three Gmnes.
A trlbo of young men known as Jay
Hawks ctuno up from Lawronco last Sat
urday. Before they left, their captain In
formed Robinson that Nebraska had tho
best baso ball team In tho west. Tlmt la
all that was Raid. It waa understood that
tho Jay-Hawkers wero to play two Kamcs
of ball on the university campus Satur
day, for a consideration known as a
guarantee. Tho Jay-Hawkers got tho
uonsldurntlon, but tho audlenco which
was present, arc yet wondering what
they call buso ball down In Kansas and
If this same trlbo over Indulge In the
sport aforesaid.
Slnco tho return from tho eastern trip,
this was tho first game of bull played by
Nebraska, and they moro than showed
tho benellclcnt effects of crossing bats
with tho first teams of tho country. In
cither of tho game ployed, Kansas was
not uncomfortably near winning at any
stage, while It appeared that It w " only
a matter of tallies for Nebraska,
Tho first gamo was called at 10 o'clock.
Wolls started by striking ouU Then Mr.
Fetors started in to play ball Just as It
ho did not havo a nine back of him. He
gavo one man a baso on balls, and hit
threo more, thereby forcing in a run, and
ovonod up by striking out two more.
For five Innings tho Jny Hawkers drew
blanks while at bat, but In the second
Heeder got his baso on balls, Wells got
to first on a error by pitcher, which same
pitcher thereupon struck out Gordon and
Klndler. But Tom Crelgh hit the ball
rlght.c Uo nose for two bases, and Rob
threo runs for Nebraska.
Then in tho sixth Inning it started the
samo way again. Gordon struck out and
Reeder got his baso on balls. Wells got
a base tho same way, and Klndler got
to first because the second baseman made
an error in fielding his grounder. Then
Tom, ho camo to bat again, just Uko he
did in tho second inning and lined out
what would have been a homo run for
a man with a wooden foot, but Tom was
In a worse condition than a man with
a wooden foot all the way up, so he only
got to third. Robby sacrificed and Tom
got In.
Kansas was due by tills time, so Sher
man led off with a hit, Todd followed by
lining out a three bagger, and Snyder hit
safely, and two earned runs had been
made for the visitors Then a doublo
spiel was made from Robby to Klndler
to Crelgh. Swett got a hit, but was
forced out at second when Blackshlere
hit to short.
It was evident that Nebraska intended
to pound Mr. Peters' curves all over the
lot, because in tho seventh Inning, after
Pack had struck out, Cowglll got to first
on second's error. Cowgill stole a couple
while Gordon was striking out. The Kid
Rceder got his base on balls again and
Wells rapied out a throe-bagger and
comes In when third baseman fumbles
tho Deacon's grounder. Robby went out
from second to first, but Nebraska had
scored thteo times.
Nebraska made all her errors in the
sixth inning Kansas scored twice in
this same Inning. Cowglll failed to get
Housh'B grounder. Griggs fouled out to
Crelgh, Peters went out from Robby to
first, while Housh went to second. Wells
failed to get Sherman's grounder, ana
Housh came in. Klndler fumbled Todd's
grounder, and Packard muffed Snyder's
long fly, and Sherman scored. Carroll
we it out from pitcher to first.
It was getting late by this time, mostly
because Kansas kicked on every close de
cision. Frlel started the batting for Ne
braska In the eighth, by getting hit with
the ball. He was forced out at second,
Packard getting a life on a fielder'
choice. He stole second while Cowgill
was striking out Gordon got his base
on balls, then Reeder made a hit. There
is something omnlous when the Kid suc
ceeds In getting a hit. Wells made an.
other three-bagger, Klndler made a
doublo Crelgh got bit with the ball and
nobody knows -what would have hap
pened If Captain Stanley who was sit
ting on the bench enjoying the agony,
had not requested the umpire to call the
game on account of dinner time. His, re.
lueat waa compiled with, but thoflo four
score and Itoodcr's hit did not count, be
cause tho Knnsans wanted to "llgrr"

NEBRASKA 5-D.KVID CITY 1
It was a mighty goojjj gamo that was
played Monday, also. Who visitors woro
a combination of tho three best teams
In tho Btato, and they thought they could
show the college boy some pointers
about tho gume. Thr reputation for
being good plnycrs preceded them, and
was sufficient to attract a good atten
danceso good that .Atyo. management
cleared almost fifty dollars on the game.
Tho gamo was ono of tho swiftest and
best that has been placed on the campus
t'his year. Only ono hour and thirty min
utes elapsed from the time Cowglll start
ed by flying out to third, and Patterson,
second to first, making tho twenty-sev
enth put-out for Nebraska. Few errors
wero made on either Side, and only ono
of Nebraska's was costly. The home
team played without four of her regular
players; Crelgh, Packard, Wells, and Ben
edict. There was no noticeable slowness
In tho playing of the men who took their
positions, however.
Nobraska camo to bat first and went
out In one, two, three, order. David
City got a man to first on an error In
their half, but ho was forced out at sec
ond and retired tho side.
In tho second Inning, Robby went out
on a fly to right, Frlel got his baso on
balls and Moore hit a" slow ball and beat
it down to first Then Eddie Gordon
stepped up to the pan, and laid right
against the ball. The, ball sailed beauti
fully past center-fielder's head and rolled
under the fence. Eddie ripped around
tho bases, but in hls'hurry. faiU-1 to set
his foot upon the third bag. He had to
go back, and consequently-was only cred
ited with a three-bager, Reeder sent a
fly out to middle and Porter struck out.
leaving Eddie on thTrWbut his hit had
Fbrbught in' iworunsr "
Until tho ninth Inning, David City con
tinued to draw blanks. While the next
twenty-one put-outs were made by Ne
braska, Just twenty-two David City men
had stepped up to the plate. When they
did get a man to first, ho was forced out
at socond, and twice, double plays were
mado. In the fifth, Reed got to first on
a scratch hit, as tho ball was too slow
to field rapidly. Miller rapped out a hot
liner to Ike E. O. Pace, who Jambed it
back to first In tlmo to catch Reed. In
tho eighth Inning, Iko participated In an
other double. White mado a hit and Cook
sent tho ball down to Ike who threw to
Klndler, who sent It to More, retiring the
side.
Whllo tho visitors wero trying to hatch
some of their goose-eggs, Nebraska was
not idle. In the fourth Robby being the
first man to bat rapped out a home run,
and tho rest of the side Immediately re
tired Itself. In the fifth, Reeder got to
first by short-stop's error to get his lit
tle grounder. After Porter had struck
out Cowgill ripped out a clean two-bagger
on which Reeder scored. Klndler sac
rificed but Cowglll died on third.
In the eighth Nebraska added another
to her total Deacon led off with a hit.
Ho went to second on Ike's sacrifice, al
so stealing third during the disturbance
of putting lkey out Ho camo home on
Friel's three-bagger, but Walter died on
third base.
It was in tho last half of the ninth
when the visitors got their only run.
Evans led off with a hit Porter fumbled
It and Evans got to second on the error.
Thomas followed with a thit on which
Evans went to third. Scott sent tho ball
way down whero Eddie Gordon was
standing in centre. Eddie got It all right
but Evans came In home after the ball
hod settled in his hands. Patterson sent
the ball down to Klndler, who threw to
first and retired the side.
Tho visitors were greatly surprised at
getting beat and wanted to play anoth
er game. Manager Pace was going to ac
comodate them but tho railroad officials
would not extend the tickets, and the
visiting team had to so homo Monday
night

CHANCELLOR'S RECEPTION.
Chancellor and Mrs. G. E. MncLcun
Informally received tho university senate
and tho members of the class of '97 at
their pleasant home, 1037 H street, Tues
day evening. A large representation both
from the general faculty and the grad
uating class were present to enjoy their
hospitality. President F S. Phllbrlck, of
tho class received tho guests, and pre
sented them to the chancellor and his
wife. Miss Smith, Mr. Westorman, Deans
Sherman, Uessey and Edgren, Professors
Caldwell and Card also stood In the re
ceiving line. During the early part of the
ovenlng, professors and their wives and
seniors mingled together In the lower
parlors, and refreshed themselves with
delicacies served in the dining room.
At 9 o'clock Dean Sherman notified the
general faculty and seniors to nssemblo
in the chancellor's auditorium on the
third floor. When all became seated, the
dean, who acted ns chairman, hinted that
this was a time when charges might be
preferred against the faculty He said
the seniors had the floor, and called on
It. P. Teelo to enlarge upon the subject,
"Tho Senior An Artificial Person." Tho
response was a combination of wit and
wisdom, and right to the point. Hugh
Walker talked pleasantly on "The Re
lation of the Senior Class to the Facul
,ty,"., "gheep.Sorrcl The Jpenlorsj.ndAf;;.
terwards" was the theme chosenby Miss
Flora Bullock, tho representative of the
girls in the class. Her remarks were
bright and well-timed Harry G. Shedd
told about the "Last Class Meeting of
'97" which was then taking place. In
his subject, "The End of the Beginning"
W. H. Oury insisted upon more loynlty
to the university on the part of alumni
members. Miss Mary Jones, our librar
ian who is soon to leave for wider work
at tho university of Illinois, spoke upon
"The New Library Movement and tho
Attention It Is Attracting in the World
of Technical Education." Dean Bessey
was called upon to defend the industrial
faculty. He said it needed no defense.
The alumni, though, needed stirring up,
yet he believed it wouldn't be long be
fore some of them would bestow $100,000
upon the university, and with a profes
sor's avarlclousness, he hoped It would
go to the department of botany. The
chancellor dismissed his guests with
brief, yet appropriate remarks impress
ing upon the seniors their duty as alum
ni of the university. He hoped at each
coming commencement that various clas
ses would feel free to use the auditorium
in which they stood as a hall In which
to meet and renew their past associations
with tho university.
SIGMA XI.
A telegram from Prof. Henry S. Will
lams of Yale university, the president of
the Sigma XI. addressed to Prof. Fred
W. Card, of the university of Nebraska,
announces that sufficient votes have been
received for granting of a chnrter of the
honorary scholarship society known as
Sigma XI, at the university of Nebraska.
This is a companion society to the Phi
Beta Kappa, its object being to recognize
ability to do original scientific work, rath
er than mere proficiency in scholarship.
In the words of the constitution, "The ob
ject of this society shall be to encourage
original lnvestlpatl n in science, pure and
applied, by meeting for the discussion of
scientific subjects; by the publication of
such scientific matter as may be deemed
desirable; by establishing fraternal rela
tions among investigators In the scientific
centers; and by granting the privilege of
membership to such students as have, dur
ing their college course, given special
promise of future achievement" This so
ciety therefore, covers ground which the
Phi Beta Kappa does not, for It recog
nizes the technical and mechanical, as well
as the general science courses.
Profefisor Card was a member of this so
ciety at Cornell university, and has been
Instrumental In securing a chapter at this
university.
COMPANY B WINS THE CDP
Sergeants Lyons and Burget Get
Gold Medals.
COMPANY A GETS 8EC0ND PLACE
Tho Annual Contest Attracts a Largo
Audience Tho Winners Wind-Up
With a Nlght-Shlrt Tall Par
ade at Midnight.
There has never been a contest for tho
cup that was as bitterly waged or that
was attended with such consuming in
terest ns tho ono this year. Evcryono
knows how worked up tho members of
each company were, nor was tho excite
ment limited to tho members of the bat
talion, there was very.llttlo going on but
drill tho week before tho contest
Last Saturday tho northwest corner of
tho campus was lined with a multltudo
of people who never lost their Interest
from ono end of the exhibition to tho
other.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the battalion
emerged from the armory, and with
martial music and flying colors 'ormed
in a long unbroken, beautiful line, then
wheeled by companies and passed In re
view beforo Captain Gullfoyle nnd tho
judges, Captain Gcrrard of the Ninth
cavalry; First Lieutenant Hardin, U. S.
A., and Captain Campbell, N. N. G.
It waa truly a stirring sight. After
weeks of extra drill and sleepless prep
aration, the climax was at hand, and
every man from tho ranking captain
down to the lowest privato In the iear
rank, felt tho spirit of the day and did
his level best.
Tho Inspection was short but thorough.
Captain Lehnhoff was unfortunate
enough to draw first placo on tho pro
gram but tho drill of the company did
not seem to suffer any In consequences.
It lokked as though Company D had sot
&pa.RB that thP.othecajnigbtnotbQ abla
to follow.
Company C camo next and they put
up a smooth drill that was marred by a
very few mistakes. Company A followed
C, and they were the most feared by the
other companies. Captain Oury was
handicapped by having two more sets
of fours than any of tho others, but ho
had his men well under control, and they
put up an excellent drill. On account
of tho company's size and the height of
tho men. It mado the finest looking com
pany on the ground.
Company B camo next, but they havo
told so often what they did that it Is en
tirely useless to add anything to the un
biassed statements of the B men. Cap
tain Saxton kept his head at every sttge
and there were no perceptible breaks of
any consequence.
It didn't take long for the Judges to
decide that company B had won the Om
aha cup, with a grading of .83. Company
C received tho next highest marking In
drill but owing to an absence or two. It
gavo the second place to company A, the
relative markings being .78 and .78 1-3.
After a long Individual drill in which
tho four beet men from each company
participated, Corporal Hastie was award
ed the gold medal. The silver medal was
given to Orlo Brown with Carl Shuft one
fifth of ono percent behind.
The detachment from company D won
tho artillery guidon, and Sergeant Bur
get of B, the artillery Individual medal.
Sergeant Lyons took the cavalry indi
vidual medal.
Tho decision waa as satisfactory as
anyone could expect. Of course every
company had its individual friends Of
these about one-fifth of the boys and
eleven tenths of the girls sided wholly
with Company B.
A very pretty incident of tho afternoon
not on the program was tho presentation
to each of the cadet captains of a iaiut
silk flag made of company colors by the
Kappa Alplia Thcta sorority. This sor
ority had erected and furnished a com
fortablo booth near the parade ground.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas watched tho
competition from the top of a handsome
ly decorated coach.
THE NIGHT-SHIRT TAIL PARADE.
Tho annual midnight manoevers of tho
lattallon took place Monday night and
the city is slowly recovering. This par
ade has become a fixed tradition in the
University and in a few years bids fair to
take the natJiu of a carnival In original
get-ups. It is distinctly a college feature
and Is called the night shirt-shirt parade
