been made IN consideration Of the appro-
p~riation from the government TO the uni
versity; so the matter is not under the con-
troll Of the university authorities. II will
certainly be 10 the disadvantage Of the base
ball and track athletic interests n this
rule IL enforced, as It has not been hereto
fore.
A second base ball team will be named
With the frst team and viii be used 70 as
sigt the FIRST team to practice, u. o.. Eager
has been elected manager OF the second
team and II is his intention to get to-
gether a crowd that can skin any Of the
small colleges In the state. A schedule
sill be arranged for the second nine and
men who fail 10 make the varsity will be
assured Of a chance to do something In the
smaller aggregation. II is hoped that the
second team will get a anne with the
Omaha High school, among others. A let
ter has been received from Chicago univer-
sity signlfying its willingness to play Me-
braska in Chicago on May 5. 6 or 7. The
Windy City people are probably g little
late. as these dates have all been taken. and
It Is hardly possible that the Cornhuskers
can accommodate them this year.

declared to the university world that their
favorite game shall not want for attention
and support. At a recent meeting officers
we're elected and plans for the association
discussed. Manager Sweeley says that
work will begin as soon as possible to get
the tennis courts In shape. Secretary Ty-
ner Of the association said, In reviewing
the situation: I'VE are somewhat short on
old men, but | believe that the material
we have is capable Of doing some good
things. Nothing definite can be said this
early about what tournaments Nebraska
may be represented in. We have asked for
a t~ri-state meet, between Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska universities at Column
bia, Mo-, and are also negotiating with
Colorado for a meet at Boulder" Among
the men who will go in are M%atthewson
OF Lincoln and Schrlbner OF Omaha. Both
played the game for their respective high
schools last year. Peters. Roth and Tyner
have played some in the university, aud
Wright won the championship in the tri-
state meet at Lawrence, Kas, last fall.
The track team has been compelled to do
most Of it's training In the gymnasium dur
ing the week. A new man came out last
week to handle the weights. He is Doug
las, who has the making of a perfect ath-
lete in him. Leonard also began TO train
for the jumping events. He made 5 feet .
inches in the high jump at the charter day
exercises last month and will no doubt take
the lead in events which he will enter.
Nebraska will be strong in short distance
runners this year. Burg and Cheney are
showing up we'll in this line, while States.
Corr, Benedict and Mock are practically
the long run. Manager Walton gives 1t
out that IL arrangements can be made the
university track team will meet the boys
from Minnesota on the home grounds about
the last week in May. Any meeting with
the gophers is interesting. Ever since the
rivalry for supremacy of the middle west
In football began Nebraskans have watched
every event between the two schools with
close attention. Captain Tobin Of the track
team is very enthusiastic over the posstbil-
ity Of meeting the husky northerners. we
have met them on the gridiron and have
played basket ball with them, but have
never run up against them in track athlet-
les. They would be NO mean opponents
and a victory from Minnesota would be a
thing to be proud Of. All We want is a
chance"
The gam for class championship. in
basket ball for 1908 was pulled on last
Tuesday evening. the contending parties
being the teams of the junior and fresh
man classes. The latter won by the very
close score OF 25 to "a. The game was the
