SWEZEY'S LECTURE. Tho honorary society of Sigma Xi held Its third open meeting of the year in the old chapel last Thursday evening. A large crowd turned out to hear Professor Swezey's lecture on the "Solar Eclipse of 1900." Tho lecture was illustrated wl.h stereoptlcon views, and was listened to with close attention by tho audience. Professor Swezey first explained the nature and causes of tho eclipses of both sun and moon. He said: "An eclipse of the sun is caused by the moon's passing between the earth and that body, while the moon Is eclipsed by passing into tho earth's shadow. The eclipse of the moon is consequent ly visible to a whole hemisphere, while that of the sun is visible only to a few people who happen to be in the pa:h of tho shadow which is never over eighty-five miles in diameter. Eclipses are not very frequent in oc currence, owing to tho Inclination of the moon's orbit, consequently when they do occur they are objects of great Interest and scientific study. The black shadows of the total eclipse is MISSOURI DEFEATED. Rhodes' Men Start the Season Well Nebraska Wins from Missouri in Two Games Excellent Play ing on Both Sides. By scores of 16 to 1 and 13 to 9, Ne braska won tho fir3t two intercollegi ate baseball games from the Missouri team Friday and Saturday. The game Friday was a walk-away for Captain Rhodes' men. Tho Mis souri team was tired from tho all nigh:'s journey of the night before and were not in condition to put up a good game. The Nebraska men, on tho other .hand, were In prime condi tion and played at their best through out the game. Townsend was in the box for Nebraska. The game started with Missouri a: tho bat. Coo struck a beautiful fly to center field, and Do Putron made a star play by making a difficult catch after a long sprint for the ball. Mc Caslin and Broadhead were both put out on first and Nebraska camo in. Do Putron was the first man at the bat and struck to short, who got tho ball to first in time to catch him. Reeder got to first on a grounder to KANSAS tt-tMS?.- NEBRASKA BASEBALL FRIDAY, APRIL 26 SENIOR PROMENADE LINCOLN AUDITORIUM MAY 26, 1901 Tickets riust Be Presented at the Door surrounded by a lighter shadow, the ponumbra, caused by a partial cut ting off of the sun's light." A series of views showed tho shadow of the moon on llie surface of tho earth and its path across tho globe. "Tho path of the eclipse of 83 be gan and ended in tho Pacific ocean, and one small coral reef was the only spot of land In its path. In spite of the difficulties of reaching tho Island, two pariles of astronomers made the trip, wading through tho water for half a mile, carrying their Instruments on their backs in order to reach the Island." Professor Swezey went to observe the eclipse as a phenomenon rather than do any scientific work. Ho joined he Lick observatory party at Thomas ton, Georgia. The party had been on tho ground for two months previous to the eclipse, making preparations for tho great event. Tho instruments had to be mounted and carefully ad justed and many calculations had to be made before tho observations could be taken. Tho whole party was care fully drilled in their work every day, in order hat (hero should bo no con fusion when tho time came to take and record the observations. A long tele scope was used so as to obtain the greatest magnifying power, and mo work was all photographic. One ob server mado use of tho phonograph In order to obtain an accurate descrip- short-stop, and stole second and third. Raymond and Townsend got bases on balls. Tho bases were now full and a strike to right field by Gains let all three men in. This was tho extent of the scoring In the first Inning. Two Missouri men went down be fore Townsend's curves, and the third was put out on first. Do Putron and Reeder ran Nebraska's score up two points, and Do Putron, running for Townsend, caisc in on a two bagger by Gaines. In tho third neither side scored, and Missouri went down be fore TownBend's curves in the fourth. Nebraska was more fortunate and Do Putron, running for Townsend, scored one on a pussed ball. Reeder and Ray mond camo In soon after. Do Putron running for Townsend, steals second and third on a muffed ball by second base, and Gaines lots him In on a muff by short-stop. Hero Rhodes mado tho sensational hit of tho game by sending a three-bagger high over tho heads of tho out-field, and Gains comes in. Bell was put out on first and Hood makes a lucky strike to cen ter field and brings Rhodes home. Doano failed to mako first. Hood took advantage of tho absent-mindedness of tho Tiger pitcher by dealing home while tho latter was contemplating the sphere in his right hand. Do Putron and Reeder both hit single baggers, and tho former went to third on a fumble by first base. Raymond take3 his base on balls. Townsend knocks a beautiful fly, and is put out, with three men on bases. After this inning Missouri changed pitchers and Nebras ka failed to Increase her score during the remainder of the game. Missouri spruced up in the seventh. McCaslin struck a two-bagger to Gains, and s:olo third. Broadhead followed him at tho bat and let him in on a one-bagger. ThiB was the only score Missouri made. The remainder of the game was featureless. Tho Missouri pitcher managed to hold the Nebraska batters down to a few hits of llttlo Importance. The following is .ho score: Missouri 0 000 0010 01 Nebraska 3 2 0 1 10 0 0 0 16 On Saturday afternoon Nebraska re peated the drubbing given to Missouri tho day before. The score, 13 to 9, does not indicate the oncsldcdness of tho contest, the Tigers at no time be ing in tho game. Dempsey, Missouri's crack pitcher, started to do the twirling, but he last ed only four innings before tho husky Nebraska batters. Thurman took his place and only allowed two runs, al though recklessness on the part of the Nebraska players aided him some. Waasher demonstra:cd most thorough ly that he could catch and throw, as well, putting out several of tho Ante lopes as they attempted to lope down to second without having drawn out a permit .The other Missourians acted at times as though Tfiey hau not seea a league ball since last spring. Nebraska likewise tried two slab artists. Sengor, a new man, started out, and Immediately got rattled. His weak point was the Holding of his po sition. Bender took his place in the third inning and put up a good cxhi hi. ion of twirling. Captain Rhodes at short played a good heady game, de spite and occasional error, most ef ficiently backing up both tho second and third basemen. Tho rest of the Nebraska boys played good ball, and when It was necessary could find tho ball for a base or two. ... Tho trouble started with Nebraska at bat. Dempsey, after two or three preliminary throws, sent one of his pet curves down over tho home plate. Do Putron straightened it out' for a single. Reeder was caught at flrat. Ray then became anxious to exercise some, so he stolo second and followed it up by taking third in the same gent lemanly manner. Raymond sent a hot liner to Dempsey, who muffed It. Do Putron scored. Raymond started to steal second, when Jio Missouri catch er threw high, and a new Idea ap peared above the horizon. Iko stolo home. Townsend went out on a foul and Senger hit safe and followed it up by stealing second. Rhodes' two-bag drive scored him. Bell went to flrat on an error by Broadhead. Hood fol lowed with a two-base hit,, sending tho captain homo and planting Bell on third. Maloncy went out at first. However, Nebraska had piled up four scores and every man had been at bat. Tho first two Missourians up In her half of the inning, failed to reach first. Braodhead hit safe, stolo second, went to third on Klcff's bunt, and scored when Catcher Maloney let a ball get paBt him. Hood, however, ended tho agony by a pretty catch of Waashor'a hot liner. - i . - , m i i i 5f t. I i Ccmliuued on I'tige t. i N. P1253 mm
