There are six class contests. of which
three are individual and three team events.
The individual events are the high dive,

People are beginning to realize that the
team is a permanent fixture Papa Bill
said the other day, and they give proof
Of their belief by taking season tickets
without a great deal Of persuasion. Last
year tickets for the season weren't going
like hot cakes at this time OF the year.
That isn't saying that they are doing so
now, but still the bleachers and grand
stands won't be empty many games unless
the people don't want to use their tickets.

ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY
Base Ball and Track Events Occupy
the Attention o the Muscu-
lar student.

Devotees OF the national game were given
an opportunity to see the first large prac-
tice last Tuesday at the University Of Ne
braska. Eddie Gordon had the gang at
work on the field then. about forty strong.
The weather made things a little slow last
week and some unpleasant things we're said
In the locker room Thursday about the
Weather bureau. The date which was
open, May Z. has been taken by Lombard
university OF Galesburg, Ill. This will
make two games at that city, the other be-
ing with Knox college on May 6. Last year
the men were out two weeks earlier than
this. Nevertheless inside practices has been
more effective than formerly and this will
in a measure Offset the hardness of begin
ming outdoor work this year. Last Tues
day, from 2 to 3 o'clock, the old gridiron
presented a busy scene. The battery candi-
dates were given a chance to show what
they could do and the felders were kept
on the jump for flies. Batting was prac-
ticed and Coach Gordon expressed himself
as very much encouraged by the skill with
which some Of the new men welded the
club. Wednesday afternoon the men were
out in force again. In point of the number
Of old university men, the team will not be
strong. There were but three men who had
lhaue INC team oSlOIS oh "A GU a. mo-
practice. The strength OF the team is not
to be judged by this alone. The new ma
terial is not so green as it might be. Most
of the candidates have played before on the
second team or high school teams, or some
other. The new men showed up very well
last Wednesday and showed the effects OF
the cage work they have been doing under
the direction Of a competent coach. Cap
tain Townsend saws that by the middle OF
next week a squad of twenty-five will be
picked and from these positions on the first
and second teams will be filled. Infeld
practice will begin next week and things
will be put in shape for team work.

The boys who wish to enter for places
on the track team have registered and
forty names have been handed in. The few
days Of fair weather were utilized for out
door practice, and the prospect for a win
ming track team is gratifying. Most OF
last years men are back in, their places,
and there are a humber OF valuable ac-
QUESTIONS from the crack team of the Lin
coin High school of last year. Benedict,
though a freshman in school, is a phenom.
on the athletic field. He will do the pole
vault stunt. johnson, the colored boy,
and Lehman are also out. Captain Tobin
Of the track team will work with the shot
and hammer, as will also Borge, Graves,
Hinkle and Martin. With so competent q
trainer as DR.. Clapp, there seems to be no
reason why Nebraska should not carry on
it's share Of the honors. II the team does
not meet with success it will certainly not
be the fault Of the coacher or captain, as
they are doing everything they can to
bring track athletics up to as high a
standard as foot ball. The schedule for the
track team has not been completed yet.
Manager Walters stated Friday that meets
with South Dakota at Sioux City, with
Kansas university at Lawrence and the
state meet at Crete have been cinched.
Several other deals are in the air, but in
any event. the trip will be well worth
While for the men to try for. The Sioux
City meet will be held on Decoration day.
Fifteen men, including the coach and man
ager, will be taken on the trip.
The athletic board held its regular meet
ing last Monday Members Of the basket
ball team were given jerseys bearing the
IN" in recognition OF the good work they
did In the past season. The second base
ball team was given the privilege to use
the field on three school days to make
Friday games possible. The new sup
plies for the base ball team have arrived
and a good supply OF balls aud bats are on
hand. The team is now we'll equipped

HUNTERS AFTER WATER FOWL
High Water Prevents Big Bags, bu
the Birds Are Here in
Hinge F1OckS,

All week long the hunters have been
slipping away from their homes and wives
on the excuse that they needed a few days
vacation and have been lying out along the
banks of the rivers and on the sand bars
of the Platte. waiting for, the ducks they
never shot. But they have all come back
with fabulous tales OF the ducks they killed
and ate and Of those that fell out of the
reach of their dogs, but those they brought
home for the family and friends have been
very, very few. The trouble has not been
that the ducks were few or that they were
such poor shots that they couldn't hit them
when they had the opportunity, but the
rivers are too high and only a few Of the
lakes have opened up. The waters on the
rivers. which are all opened up, are too
extensive to give the hunters an oppor-
tunity to reach the ducks. Within a week
or ten days, when the high water has sub
sided somewhat, the bags that the sports
men will bring back will be marvellous, for
all OF the early reports Of ducks and geese
a~-plenty on Nebraska streams were not
overrated, according to all of the Omaha
men who have been out after them. With
the lakes open and the rivers low, they will
not be dificult to get at. and several hun
dred local hunters are preparing for out
ings OF a week or ten days out on the west
ern ranches of the Platte, the Loup and
the Elkhorn and up in the sand hills.

Omaha sportsmen are not the only ones
that are expecting to do some hunting this
spring, either. One local wholesale house
that sells most of its goods to state people
has sold. two carloads Of shells for spring
and would like to have more to sell. They
don't have a. decoy duck in the house and
declare that a folding decoy can't be bought
in Omaha from asingle dealer. "Isthink,' .
one OF the firm said, that there must be
more decoys than ducks on Nebraska
streams and lakes. But 1 know that isn't
true, for l was out three days last week
and saw lots Of ducks, but only got close
enough TO FIVE to shoot them"

Manager Bell now has the final schedule
made out. Nebraska will this year meet
twenty-six teams in regular games, besides
the practice game which will be played.
On the home grounds twelve regular games
will be played. the first of which will be
the games with the Omaha league team on
April 1914. The trip which has been
planned will go through five states, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas,
The trip will consume fifteen days. Twelve
men will be taken, viz, the team, two subs
and the manager. Practice games on the
home grounds will be played with the
farmers and merchants team of Lincoln,
Doane college, Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION, Wesleyan university and the Lin
coin High school. The field is being PUT
in shape, as the bleachers which were
erected for foot ball would be in the way.
The fence about the field has been removed

Consumption is a human

easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes I'M

Strengthen the lungs as you

The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very.hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be DC;
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be

SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
