Tho game of cricket that is to be played on tho campuB to morrow will bo of interest to many, since tho game is so little known hero. For two centuries cricket has been tho national game of England, and it has been largely played by amateurs. This strictly amateur element has kept for the game its popu larity. Near tho center of the field, tho pitch, as it is called, is selected, and tho wickets are placed twenty-two yards apart, opposite and parallel to each other. Each wicket consists of three round wooden sticks, called "stumps," which are driven into the ground just near enough together to prevent the ball from passing between them. Their height must not exceed twenty-seven inches and the total width not more than eight inches. On tho top of each wicket are placed two little sticks of wood called "bails" and a slight movement of the winlcot will cause them to fall to tho ground. There is a batter at each wicket and they may be put out in several ways. If a batter allows his bails to bo knocked off tho wicket, he is out. The batting sido stays in until the entire eleven men are out. Tho bowler throws tho ball with a straight arm. If there is any curve it is aftor tho ball bounds. When tho battor has made a hit, ho may run to tho other wicket while his comrade comes to his and they may thus keep ox changing wickets, piling up scores as long as they think it safe. The game tomorrow between tho faculty and students will bo an interesting one, and the student body nhould turn out to see it. The proceeds from tho contest will go to replenish the the athletic treasury. ONE PROFIT MAKER TO WEARER Drake 6, Nebraska 5. Once moro Nobraska has boon defeated. Tho stalwart lads from Drake University provod too fast for Oapt. Molford an his men. Nobraska scored on a goal from tho field, while Drako pushed her rivals back by fiorco plunges and good end runs, and scored a touch-down. Nobraska seemed to play falow. Hor intorforonco formed slowly and was easily broken np by tho Drako ends and backs. Frequently tho play was broken up before it got uudor good headway. Tho principal gains made by Nobraska wore made when Bonodict and Wil liams loft their intorforonco and dodged their opponents. Follmor played the star gamo for Nobraska. His tackling was excellent. Many times ho broke up Drake's interference and downed tho runner. Sovoral times ho, alone, saved No raska's goal. Once, a. Drako man got ontiroly through the Nebraska lino and startod down tho field at a rapid gait, Foll mer gave chase and rolled him in tho dust on Nebraska's twenty. five yard line, Drako formed hor plays rapidly and scarcely over failed to make good gains around tho ends. Tho victory over Nobras ka highly olated tho Drako men.
