Jn (he fourth Inning, af ter one of the fairest decisions of the game, the visitors concluded that they hnd been basely wronged, and declared that unless the umpire reversed his de cision, they would gather up their bats and make n sneak for the south gate. It enme about In the following man ner: Neibrnska was at the bat, two men were out and three men were on bases. The next nmii up to bat lent an easy grounder toward third base. Bliss, the runner on third, was hit by the, ball. According to the rules, if It was a fair ball, ho was out, but If it was n foul, he -was safe. The umpire cnllcd foul, whereupon there was rev elry.

A small crowd of about ono hundred and II fly people watched the university boy get beaten In the dual Indoor pen tathlon with the Omaha Y. M. C. A. held In the gymnasium of the Infer last Saturday evening. The cinwI, while i. mull, was enthusiastic u d cheered botli sides equally. There wee only rour races In the whole audi ence that wore familiar to the boyB in the university team. The Omaha team won with a totul of 11178 15-24 point, as against the uni versity's liou 1-3. Henry h. Finney was the leader of the winners, having 1)20 5-0 points to his credit, while Pills bury wis a close second with 410'. There were two surprises in store for the university boys. The first was the three standing broad jumps. In which rilisliury jumped over tlurty feet, out J. . Henry of the v. Al. U A. team to the state institution at Ann Arbor. REGULATIONS ADOPTED. The most Important thing to bo noted in the life of Senator Morrill is that he did not enter public service until he was forty-four year old. Previous to this time he hail refused all offers of holding public otVices that had beau lmule to him. It proved Inter that this time was cxatly the middle ixilnt or, , . , , hi life, as the remaining forty-four At a meeting of the athletic board years were spent In public service. ' !"'

Never has the hordo of incoin- tcresting. The pitching force of the visitors was brought, up one after an other and all wore so wild that the prico on bases on balls took a decided slum). Before the eighth Inning had been finished, sixteen men had re ceived presents nnd hnd trotted to first. In 'the sixth inning, another kick -,vas registered, this time about lw umpire. Porlcr, who had been doing excellent, work, especially on balls nnd strikes, immediately withdrew, and was suc ceeded by Scott. This was only one of the frequent interruptions which was caused by the visitors. Every inning was marred in such a way that the spectators became justly disgusted. Tlio first Inning opened up fast, with Tecumsch nt tho bat. Ross went out enslly on an infield grounder. Mor rlssoy followed with a good left field which rolled through the fence, By the time it was recovered, he had com pleted the circuit of the bases. Buf f ii m was presented with a base on balls, but was caught in an attempt to steal second. Townsend made the third out. Tn the second hnlf. Roeder was thrown out sit first, Moore received a base on balls, but did not succeed in making the circuit, as IHiss and Gordon made easy outs. The visitors made another in the sec ond on n bad inulV of nu easy out by McDcrmott, and some wild throwing on bases. For the university McDcr mott sent an easy fly to (lore. Kings bury singled, but was forced out by Bolcn's single, Bolcn stole scconl. Rhoeds was given four balls nnd lthca made first on a mult, feed er made the third out, leaving tlho men on bases. In the third, Morrlssoy sent a sin gle to Recder, who passed it to fir3t too slow to catch the batter. Kings bury furnished n hit by Buffum, -which let the latter make two bases. After two or til i re e more hits, Morrissey, Buf fum and Townsend completed the cir cuit of bnses. Tn their half, the university braced up. With no men out Moore was hit by a pitched ball. Bliss singled, which sent Moore to 'third. Gordon drew four balls and McDcrmott singled. Oordon was forced out nt second, Mooro came in on a passed ball. Bliss also reached home on account of the alow playing of the visitors. Kings bury ended tho inning with a fly to Bhortstop. Tho play in the fourth lagged nnd was not strong on elthei side. After this Inning, the Tecumsch nltclier went to pieces and when he did succeed In ball near the plate, he was hit at will. Nearly every man up, how ever, was presented with n base on balls if he had the patience to wait for them. Tn tho fifth the university piled up eight runs winch practically won tlho game. At no time after this did tlio visiting team play harmoniously. Two other pitchers, Fnlrnll and Town Bond, were put In at different times, but nothing proved of any avail. On the other hand, the work of the home team gradually Improved nnd nTl set tled down to straight base ball. However, there were n few redeem ing features in the game. Rhodes nt first, Oordon at third, nnd Bolen in left field, a new man In university base ball history, MA good work through out. Bliss mndo an enviable record for himself. After the first two or three innings he sotted down nnd hnd tho visitors nt his mercy. Had he received better support the result would have been decldely 'different. Tho entire team did good work with the bat when bills was passed In 1302." Chancellor Maclcnu added to the In terest of the meeting by giving a few NOMINATIONS.

TIM 10 The time of election shall be Wednesday, May 10, from 10:30 to lug students, with every species tnd degree of preparation, been disposed of with so little vexation nnd delay as now. Oreat credit Is due to the chair man of the enrollment committer, Tro fessor Lees, for the efficiency of tho work. The year has opened auspiciously, and with renewed effectiveness in the work, throughout the departments of the college. With i.o prejudice to any, 1 think-! should c:.ll attention to tho entliusliini nnd success attendant up on the altered methods of Instruction In the department of TCngllsh, put in effect throughout this yenr. 1 have. rot familiarized myself with it in lc- tnll, but am. from whnt I have seen, convinced th'at the experiment will be of moment in the rhetoric teaching of flie country. The excitement consequent upon the breaking out of the war with Spain, In the spring semester, was much less demoralizing than could have been o pootetl. It led to the enlistment of an unusually high proportion of our stu dents, and to the complete records In Ihc work, except In the ease of seniors, of nearly all. So far a these enlisted men have been able to return to (he university, it has been found possible, with but'fciw oxeopMoiis, to make good all deficits without loss, and without retnking the respective subjects. A chief need created by the greater strength and elllciency of the depart ments In this college, is or better pre paration in the candidate who enter In the first year's work. The gap be tween our accredited schools and tins university is not closing, and in some iustanecH appreciably widening. Of course, the straightened means of manv of our tributary communities has 'had much to do with fills. Hut it seems practicable to suggest and per haps to urge that the preparatory lie carried on more generally, in our high schools, bj' teachers fitted to teach severally at least one subject ns a specialty. Those high schools that are securing graduates of the univer sity for preparatory teaching are pal pably improving the general standard. Students continuing to come to us from outside the stnte, and especially from the cast. It is gratifying to real ize that our unusually aspiring, hard working nnd self-denying faculty arc winning recognition outside the state they serve. So far as my observation goes, tncro is not nnotner uisuimion anywhere in which the members of the teaching force nro so willing to help everybody In the college public ind out of it," for mere love of their work and of unbuilding men. Nothing with in or without augurs so much, it seemi to nve, for the future growth and use fulness of tlio university. Tho number of unclassed students belonging to this college it hns seemed impracticable at this1 writing to deter mine, but would, according to the pro IKirtlons of Inst yenr, undoubtedly raise the enrollment total to above a thousand.
