take nlaoe next Thursday, when the Corn
busker are scheduled to- claah with the
strong Aggie bunch from Manhattan at
Antelope park In the opening game of the
local season.
This approaching contest, alnce It will be
the flrat opportunity the State university
students will have had of seeing their
team to action against an outside college
la . two seasons, la being awaited with a
keen arplay of interest at me Dig schtoi.
The splendid showing of the Cornhuekers
on the southern trip hae also nerved to
Increase the deatre of the student fans to
watch ihe work of their representatives.'
Last aprlng the acquisition of Nebraska
field by the engineering department as the
site for a new three-story building left ths
Cornhuaker athletes without an athletic
field and crowded the base ball men off
the campus. Ari attempt was made to se
cure Antelope park, the Western league
base ball grounds, for the use of the uni
versity players, but no satlbfactory ar
rangements were made and the Cornhusk
ers were forced to abandon all efforts to
pUy any games at home. This mason the
athletic field Is. still lacking at the uni
versity, but the base ball management has
made a deal for playing at Antelope park,
and the CJornhuskers will be seen at home
In eight Intercollegiate matches, the first
of which will be the clash with Manhattan
next week. Following this game on Thurs
day, the Nebraska nine will then meet Mis
souri In two contests on Monday and Tues
day, April 36 and 27. ,
Ged Record ia Sooth.
On their southern trip, which was closed
today In a game with theM'niveralty of
Kansas at ' Lawrence, the Cornhuekers
made a good record, and .in. doing ao sprung
a pleasant surprise on the local fans and
turned over the dope pots' of a few of the
local serines, tor inree years previous n
this spring the CornhUHker base ball teams
were so weak that they were regarded as
a Joke among the local student. The work
of these teams was so mlsersbln that the
students at the state school had come to
. I I . ,.. Tl j . ..
dents each year look forward to a winning
nine. Consequently, last week, when the
Cornhuskers began their annual tour Into
Mlasourl and Kansas, It was with Jocular
remarks tnat the local fans spoke of the
prospects of the nine. The Idea that the
Cornhuskers would win any. number of
games waa darided. This predisposition on
the part of the fans to regard the team in
a light vein laid them open to be greatly
surprised when the Cornhuskers should ex
hibit classy play and win game . after
gam.
At the beginning of the trip It was ad
mitted by Captain Bcltser and Coach Fox
that success depended on the pitchers. The
twirling staff was composed of three men
Ward, Olmstead and Prouty. In the
opening game of the Journey Prouty, who
at the last" moment before the team left
Lincoln had been substituted for Mathers.
waa placed on the slab and held the small
collegians at Tabor, la., to two scratch
hits. In the other games in which he oc-
upied the rubber he proved his worth and
made good. Olmstead proved wild and his
work was Just a little disappointing. Ward,
the veteran of two seasons, was in fine
form on the trip, however, and was a pus-
ale to the batters who faced him. With
Ward and Prouty doing fast work and
with Olmstead showing up In fairly good
p. form, the Cornhuskers were much stronger
t in the' box than even Coach Fox had ex
ported, them to be, and the weakness
which had been so woeful In this depart
ment In other seasons was practically re.
moved.
m' tippsrt br Fielders..
Good support of the pitchers by sll
the fielders contributed In great, measure
to the success of the Cornhuskers r.
the games on the trlu The outfielders 'ltd
exceptionally well, giving the twirl srs
nearly penect support, ut me nrsi rive
games played the Cornhuekers won four,
losing one of a. series of two to Missouri.
Only on of the contests with the "Show
me" players counted toward the Missouri
valley championship, . and the Nebraska
- s iri. wvu mv aaine oy a score n I to i
If Ward is permitted to do the twirling
for the Cornhuskers when Drake comes
to town next week the local university
boy should annex another victory with
out any great difficulty. The Des Moines
school la fairly strong on the diamond this
spring, but has not had the practice the
Nebraska players have been fortunate
enough to get. and for that reason will be
handicapped to a great degree In the meet
ing next Thursday. Besides pitching In
the Drake game Ward also will be put on
the slab for on of the Missouri games the
week following. He had the "show-me"
men at hi mercy In Columbia lust week
and should be able to repeat his trick here.
In case, then. Ward is at his best the
Cornhuskers should tak two of the next
threw game played, and thus maintain
their record established on the southern
trip of winning a big majority of the
tames played.

8IOT7X FALLbV S. , D., April 17. (Spe
cial.) The true sportsmen of South Da
kota are taking great Interest in a meet
ing which has been called by W. F. Ban
croft, of Watertown. the new state game
warden of South Dakota, to be held in
Sioux Falls on Friday of next week. The
meeting 'will be held for the purpose, of
-adopting such measures as may be deemed
necessary to prevent those- opposed to
the new game law from having It "held
up" under the' referendum amendment to
the state constitution and- submitted to
the voters of the state at the general elec
tion In November of next year. The true
sportsmen of the state axe well satisfied
with the new law and desire it to go into
effect. They claim that the attempt to
have' It "referendumed" Is backed solely
by "pot" hunters who fear the stringent
provisions of the new law will seriously
affect the business of pot and market
hunters.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April IT. 'With a
powerful and finished stroke the Harvard
varsity crew defeated a weaker s.nd less
expert crew from Columbia on the Charle
liver ' today by six full length In a race
of 'a mile and. seven-fighths. After the
first -few dashing strokes' which followed
the referee' pistol shot there wa never
any qeustlon regarding the outcome. A
If Impelled by a powerful motor the Har
vard shell swept proudly down the Charles
river bantn' before the 20.000 people on .the
river bank and shot like an arrow acroas
the finish line. Behind them . trailed the
Columbia shell, with the oarsmen plunging
their blue and white blades Into the water
In a vain effort to kep up with the crimson
shell. Despite the almost perfect river con
ditions, the Columbia boat rolled Ilk a
knockabout in a heavy sea , and lt waa
with difficulty thst Coxswain Rockwood
kept the nose of his boat heading down the
course.'' Harvard's veteran crew howed all
the dash and force which wore out Tale
at New London last year, while the exhibi
tion of Columbia, even to Coach Rice, was
disappointing.
It wa a few minute, before 4 o'clock
when the two crew backed to their punt
underneath. the Co'ttage Farm bridge. The
start came almost exactly at 4 p. m. With
the firing of the pistol the Crimson shell
was the first to get away. Both crew hit
up the stroke above forty and for 100 yards
more rowed side by side. Then Harvard
began to. draw away. Columbia contluued
the high stroke for a couple of minute
longer, but presently Captain Crul
pTfopped back to thirty-six. At the quarter
mile Harvard was half a length to the
good, and at the half-mile flag there was
open water between the boats. . The Har
vard ' boat gained steadily, ' the Crimson
stroke decreasing to thirty-two and at one
tima to a low as twenty-eight. In the
Columbia boat Cxi wain Rockwood wa
continuously shouting encouragement to
his men. but with onlypartlal success.
Under Harvard bridge dashed the Crim
son crew, with t.000 people awcthlng. Ten
second later the Columbia shell swept
underneath and the two crews started
down the last mile of the course. Th
water was now -rougher than In the upper
reach of the liver. Th motion had no
effect whatever on the Harvard shell, but
th unsteadiness of - the Blu and h Wit
boat was th feature of th race from that
point. '
Stroka Sargeant of the Harvard craw
lgain dropped the stroke below thirty, but
ween the mile ana a half flag wer passed
there were flv length of water between
the boat. Coming down to the finish Co
lumbia wa the lirst to spurt, but there
was no gain on Harvard. A th finish
Una was l. tared bargeant called upon bis
men for the lait effort. Up went the Har
vard aMrok, while astern the Columbia
shell wobbled uncertainly. ' Then the red
flag fell and Harvard had won. Nineteen
seconds later th Columbia (hell rolled
across the line Ilk a spent runner. Coach
Rice said hi men could not seem to get
together. The Columbia oartmen showed
despondency after th race, but, would not

George Graham brok Into the gam Sat
urday 'and starred from th start to finish
and gave the fan an Idea of what they
may expect from him this summer If his
knee will but hold out.
Watching him tear around the diamond
like lightning on could not believe there
was anything the matter with him. He took
ten chance without a wobble, made thre
hit and a long' fly and they wer all
tlngers, too. He stopped a couple of hot
ones thst looked Ilk base hit and started
a double play In the first Inning, when,
with three men on bases and ofte out, Dav
idson stung th ball -hard, right at second
base.' Graham was there, tagged th sack
and caught the runner at first.
Thtse were some ' of the achievements
of Graham in the game Saturday
which Guy Green's Indians won from
the Rourke family by tiiejr6re of to 2.
Captain Franck did not act like he cared
much about the scores a he left Hanson
In the box after. It. wa evident th Coun
cil Bluff recruit could' not get the-ball
over the plate. He' passed th first three
men up in the third Inning and duplicated
his performance In the fourth, .
Lower Finishes Gasne.
Lower, pitched the last four Innings and
during that time not a hit waa made off
his delivery and no one reached first ex
cept, the-first man who faced him and
who was passed. He did some sharp field
ing and hit. the ball safe the only tim
he was at bat.
The Lincoln team Is complete exoept
