But during the day as the strangers since
last year follow the links over they viii
ind them different. The green's have all
been piped and look fresher and smoother
than they we're wont to last summer. Here
the golf enthusiasts OF the club will bat
tie during the day. for there will be handl-

The tennis courts, too, including the new
ones with the brick undertaking. will be
filled with the racket wielders. They will
seem no different than they we're a year
ago despite the change in the two, and only
a rain will make It evident how much bet
ter they have been made. To the north
OF the courts the ball field has been changed
so that the diamond is at the farthest cor
ner from the house and the game can be
watched from the porch or from the bleach
ers facing the house.
Contests will be arranged for the mem
bers in all three Of these branches, which
the Field club has cultivated, and 1t will fill
the day we'll, so that the athletically in
clined may forget their winter slothful-
ness in new-found e%xerice, and the others
can watch and applaud with becoming zest.

FISHERMEN HAVE AN INNING
Nearby AXE Full of Bass and the
Like and Many Good Strings
Are Caught.

After the cold of the few days in the first
OF the week the fishermen, most faithful
to their habits, sought the banks Of the
nearby lakes with their hooks and lines and
beguiled the long hours in the chilly morn
ings and the gentle afternoons with the
swish Of the reel and the strong-mouthed
pull OF the black bass. But mostly II has
been the bait Of the look against the
hungriness OF the fish, and the fish have
succumbed readily and rapidly. They are
hungry and beefsteak and delicate tinted
and befeathered sp~oonhooks have had equal
charms for them. Skillful fishing has not
been a part Of the game; It requires only
patience to fish for these fish, now.
Black bass, ringtail perch. c%roppies and
catfish are in abundance close to the haunts
of the city dweller. Cut on lake teens
with trout, and already a two-pound bass
has been brought, shimmering in the morn
ing sun, from ito chilly waters. Hundreds
of FOUNDERS and smaller bass have graced
the strings of the few that have braved the
early season in their quest of the fnny
tribe. An occasional perch or croppie has
a%lternated with the bass on these strings
and all Of the hopeful ones have come
back from their quest with happy hearts

TO tennis and basket ball by more than

On Saturday the Missouri Valley Athletic
association will hold its annual track meet
at Lincoln. Lincoln and Nebraska City High
schools are the only Nebraska high schools
that will compete. This is not as It should
be. Beatrice. Kearney, Grand Island,
Hastings, Fremont and Omaha should have
had some representation at this meet.
Omaha in particular should have taken
some steps toward taking part in the meet.
A track team is different from most forms
Of games, in that a few men may represent
a school in certain portions OF the meet
and carry off enough of the individual hon
ors to more than repay the school for the
trouble and expense Of preparing Cor the
meet, even though they do not secure a
place in the totals for the schools.
Track work requires preparation by the
man participating more than II does costly
grounds or fields. 1t is Individual work and
can be as -Teadily practiced in the country
by three men as in the city by 100. No
school SHOULD be, prevented from trying to
do some work on the track from lack OF
money or Of men. Out Of a high school
with q dozen men a team Of three men
might be taken that would carry of 20
points at a meet. This would not be
enough to win the meet for them, but II
would make an elegant showing for them.
Omaha had a track team for years. but in
the last three years It has been allowed to
die out, The powers that be have not been
favorable to It,, but the lack Of spirit has
had more to do with It than anything else.
The student body would have the spirit II
the boys would get out and work, but they
have shown no disposition to do SO. Over
100 Of the high school boys are members
Of the Young Mems Christian association,
and If these would go into the track de-
partment of the association a strong
nucleus for a track team for the high
school team could be selected. The ground
about the High school could be fixed up so
that practice for the weights and Jumps
could be carried on as well as anywhere
else. The running and hurdling events
would be the only ones that would suffer
greatly by cramped quarters on the ground.
But track work requires conscientious
practice and training and this is something
that the athletic department of the Omaha
High school has always lacked. The bows.
as a Whole, nave SHOWN a decided DISPOSE
ton to ignore training. The foot ball
team has given evidence Of this year after
year and yet the boys have not taken the
matter Feriously. The teams that have
represented the Omaha High school have
gone down to defeat time and time again
Tor these reasons and often their opponents
have been from smaller towns and have
not shown the team work or the grit that
tho omaha 80 az -
staying qualities that can only come with
training, and so won out. II track work ia
to be taken up the team must decide to
train absolutely. Training rules are not
conducive to pleasure, but they are the
thing that makes winning possible, and the
sooner the High school learns this the
sooner 1t will take its place at the head OF
athletics among Nebraska and Iowa high
schools.
