mjM THE HESPERIAN. 11 Dowling's work being exceptionally fine Holmes and Barnes did splendid work as the battery, the former having not a single passed ball. The university boys understood that the game was to be of seven innings, giving them time to reach drill practice. At the end of the seventh, the un versity boys were ahead 8 to 5, but Lincoln took advantage of Barnes's sickness and Westerman's errors and bat out five runs and were saved the embarrassment of being beaten by an amateur club. Wester man is a good out fielder and should exchange third base for Marlay's or Dowling's field. The following is the score by innings: Lincolns 2000002 1 5 10 University 1 0200320 o 8 Batteries Pender and Mesmer, Barnes and Holmes. Earned runs University 2, Lincoln 4.

Alice is a splendid class leader in the gymnasium. The university holds the state field day this year. Medals will be given to the first and second winners at the state field day. Join the athletic association if you wish to take part in the field day sports. Whalcy and Gcrrard took prominent parts in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium exhibition, April 20, at the Funke. Owing to lack of time for preparation and other causes, the university will not take part in the inter-state contests at cither St. Louis, Mo., or Champaign, HI. The foot ball and base ball players should combine and form an eating club in which the proper wholesome food, necessary to proper training, would be served. Minneapolis has disappointed the ball club by refusing to guarantee expenses of our club should they go to that place for a game, so that we will not meet that university this season. The officers of the state athletic association, who were elected under the old constitution arc as follows: President, F, W. Leavitt, Doane; vice-president, C. E. Tefft, Univer sity; secretary, Sumner, Cotner; treasurer, J. Roberts, Wes leyan; director of sports, W. II. Sawyer, University of Nebraska. On Saturday, May 7, the university will hold its field day at Cushman park. The bpoits will piobably begin in the forenoon. No base ball game will be played unless the pro gram is sufficiently short to allow more time than has hereto fore been followed for the ball game. The trains will carry the crowd into the park and return for a small amount and a large attendance is expected. Arrangements will be made so that those not wishing to take dinner at the park will be admitted again in the altcrnoon without further payment. The condition and excellence of the participants has greatly improved over last year and some hot contests are expected. The track will be in good condition so that good speed will be made by the sprinters. Every university organization should offer from two to five medals for field day. The medals need not be expen sive, and is Doane, Cotner, and Wesleyan have offered their portion, the university, which has as many students as the three combined, should furnish its share. As was remaikcd by a brainy junior, "If a student can win at our local con test, he will take the medal at the state field day." And this has been the case in two-thirds of the previous contests. So in offering a medal you need have no fear that it will go elsewhere than to a university student. The committee on medals, Messrs. Chandler and Sawyer, will gladly furnish any information concerning the style and price of medals and will receive your offer to furnish several with equally as much pleasure. STRAY PICK-UPS.
