tlio Trip
Tuesday Nebraska met Kiiiihiih at
Lawrence nml played tlio "Jiiyhawk-
(1H U) II standstill on tlll'll' own
grounds in 11 thirteen Inning game. All
thlngH eoiiHldered, the game was a
virtual victory for our boyH, for which
they deserve the greatest eredlt. The
team arrived at Lawrence- Monday
night, and, In spite of the rain, they
were met at the train iy the whole
University and were given a royal wel
eome, and all through their stay they
were treated with every consideration.
The boy are enthiiHiiiHtiu in their
praises of the opposing team and the
whole student body.
The game, like all the other games
of the trio, was played in the. nuid.
Considering the terrible condition of
the ground the fact that our boys
made but two errors shows what u
splendid game they are putting up.
Their fielding wa.s far superior to their
opponents. The feature or the play
ing of the Kansas team was the bat
tery work of Kills and Curry. The
game started at 3 o'clock, and In spite
of the bad weather a large r.nrt enthu
siastic crowd wiih present to cheer
their friends on to victory, though the
good plays of the Nebrnskans were
liberally apjilauded. Neither side
found the ball in the first three Inn
ings, but in the fourth the dnyhawkera
jumped onto .Mel ford and ran up a
total of four runs; but In the next Inn
ing the visitors gave them a dose of
their own medicine and by the sev
enth, tlimiks,lo.,good. batting, especi
ally by Kindlcr, who rapped out two
two-baggers, and Hllss, whose two
home runs were the feature of the
day, our boys had eight runs to their
credit. Kansas, however, tied the
score In the next inning, and from
then to the thirteenth there was play
ed one of the most exciting games of
the year. In the ninth Nebraska put
a man around the bases, but the um
pire called him out at the plate. This
was, however, the only unfair decision
of the game, the umpiring on halls
and strikes being of a high order of
excellence. At the end of the thir
teenth inning the umpire called the
game at the request of the Kansans.

The agricultural boys proved no
"Mitch for our team who hit the bnll
ut will nnd ran up a score of 22 runs
to their opponents fl. Bliss pitched a
good game and had the Kansans at his
mercy. That night It rained hard as
It did throughout the trip. The next
game vn played with Ht, Mary's col
lege team, who with the energetic iild
of the umpire took the g ame w 1th a
margin of one run, the score being h
to 7. The team was greatly crippled
by an Injury "Dutch" Wells received
at Manhatten where he wiih spiked In
the hand and had to play with a band
aged hand, (lordon too has not been
since the llrst game. The game sched
uled with Washburn could not he
played on account of the rain and the
team stayed in Topckn till Monday.
In the afternoon a game was played
at Kmpotiu with a team of men pick
ed from the st ate at large, but three
men from the college there playing on
the team. Under the circumstances
our boys considered themselves for
tunate in holding the score down to 10
to 2.
From here they went to Lawrence.
So far the results of the trip have
exceeded all expectations. Under the
most adverse circumstances the team
has played good ball especially In the
Held. After the games with Missouri
they will piny a return game with St.
Mary's college Saturday before return
ing home. Though weakened by the
absence of Cordon and Wells who
were called home Wednesday they will
receive the assistance or Kindlcr who
joined the team Tuesday.

UNIQUE EVENT IN UNIVERSITY
Chuncollor, IteBcnt Morrill unit Other
Spoko Good Aclvlcn to the
Hoy
Monday, Mny 2, wiih u dny long to
be remembered In unlicrslly history.
The largest crowd of the year assem
bled In the chapel to hid farewell to
the students who had joined the. army.
The student volunteers marched in in
a body nnd took seats in the front of
the chapel. After the usual exercises
the chancellor spoke of the uniqueness
of the event that was taking place. For
the first time in history men were go
ing out in the mime of humanity.
There will come times of loneliness,
of homesickness, and It they be truly
brave, of fear, for coragcous men
think before they act; they estimate
the danger and light with minds as
well as bodies. One American, espec
inly one university student, will equal
11 score of Spaniards. The noys were
warned to take good care of them
selves. Their usefulness depended on
their health, and that should receive
the best of attention.
Emphasis was laid on the tempta
tions by which they would be sur
rounded. They were urged to live ns
they had at school. In this way the
collegians would influence the morale
of the whole army for good.
The chancellor called attention to
the fact, that this was the first time
In the history of the university when
Its students had been called to arms.
He then called on Regent Morrill as
an old veteran for a few- words. Mr.
Morrm's words, relating in part his
own experience, presented some of the
humorpusi.s.idesi.and cheered up all
present. He gnve'the boys some whole
some advice, drawn from his own ex
perience, speaking especially of the
necessity of limiting one's diet to ar
my rations nnd of cheerful olnidience
to superior oflicers. In closing he suld
the honor of the university rested iwth
those students going to the front, and
he felt conlldcnt It would be preserved.
Dean Edgren was called upon and
said he had come to this country to
fight for what he considered the right
and to gain experience In his chosen
profession. He could appreciate the
intense feelings that animated each
one and closed with the wonts of the
Spartan mother: "Return with your
shield or upon it."
Professor Nicholson said the men
who had enlisted had applied for
membership in the proudest fratern
ity on earth, "The defenders of the
country."
Lieutenant Stotscnberg's welcome
was such as miv man might well be
proud, lie hoped to go to the front
with the volunteers and would Iks glad
and willing to give any advice wanted.
He urged them to continue to live
good, moral lives and they would find
many to support them. He thought
their enlistment in different compn.
nics would benefit them and Increase,
the chance for promotion. He told
them to remember those left behind,
to write often for thelr's Is the hnrdest
to bear "the bravest are the ten
dercst, the loving are the daring."
After the exercises the enlisted stu
dents went to Dellnn hall, where the
faculty und students were given the
opportunity of bidding them good-bye.

whether drill should le continued the
emainder of the year. It w.as finally
decided to Continue drilling as usual,
in order to keep the company in shnpe
for the next. yenr. The following offi
cers were, then elected to fill the va

Captain, C. II. True; first lieutenant,

SOMDRERO HOARD AT WORK.
1 lie junior annual board .s working
hard on the annual of the class of
1900 and It Is the ambition of the
hoard to make the book more of n suc
cess than ever before. The board has
secured the use of a room In the bnse
nient of the main building, where they
will be able to hold their regular
weekly meetings nnd keep a desk for
papers, manuscript copies, old annu
als, etc., etc. The associate board of
editors has been divided un Into com
mittees, each committee having a cer
tain line of work to do.
Several student nrtists are vieing
with one another in the production of
their masterpieces as samples of the
quality of work they are able to do.
The Htn1 artists will not be selected
until another year, when the board
will be more able to make selections.
Everything that can be attended to
this yenr is rapidly being worked up
In shape for the annunl. In this way
the work will be made so much the
lighter when the rush comes nnother
yenr.
The board is anxious to receive help
and advice from outside sources, and
invite all who possibly can to give
them support and nld, either by sub
stance or sustenance.
