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

ATHLETIC NOTES.
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.
