THE NEBRASKA TRIP. THE 'VARSITY LOST AT LINCOLN AND WON A HOTLY CONTESTED GAME AT OMAHA. HOW IT HAPPENED AT LINCOLN. A Smoothly Polished Gymnasium Floor and a Very Fast Team Is the Whole Story. Last Friday and Saturday the 'Varity has' ball he played with Lincoln and Omaha respectively on the Nebraskan's floors. The first game was a defeat and the second a victory. No one knows exactly what the score was at Lincoln Even Manager Russell has forgotten, but it was big. The little northerners tossed basket so fast that our men lost count and did not linger to find the score after the game. The defeat is partly explained by the smooth gymnasium floor to which the 'Varsity five was not accustomed and partly to the fine work of the Lincoln five. The floor was such that our men were unable to start quickly and when started they could not stop. There is not much to be said about this game, says Manager Russell. The game at Omaha was just a little different. The 'Varsity won the game by a score of 12 to 10. The game was played on a floor that is more like the Lawrence floor and the Omaha five is not so fast as the five at Lincoln. In this game the 'Varsity men showed splendid form as they did not have an opportunity to wear themselves out the night before except perhaps, they were a little sore from bruises. Vandruff's work was good at Omaha. All the fellows were in the game from start to finish and the Omaha game was perhaps the most exciting game in which the 'Varsity has participated this year. The boys were treated royally on the trip. At Lincoln they were entertained by the fraternities and at Omaha by the home five. They were greeted at both towns by good crowds and much enthusiasm. Capt. Owens was given a large bunch of roses after the Omaha game. The Lincoln game was referred by Barnes of Omaha and umpired by Hasting of Lincoln and Dr Naismith of Kansas. The Omaha game Nelson of Omaha acted as referee and Manager Russell and Dr. Naismith as umpires A waitress at Omaha overlooked Yahn, and lost her job for not waiting on him. The 'Varsity line up was the same for both games Vandruff and Shipman, forwards. H. Owens center, F. Owens and Yohn backs. SOME INCIDENTS OF THE TRIP. Russell and Dandruff were let at St. Joe while talking to some fair ones. By fast running they caught the train at the next station. Shipman hae such a stiff neck Saturday night, from looking at Omaha's high buildings, that he could not throw goal. Fred Owens, in search of excitement, strayed forward to the smoker, while enroute. The carjwas switched to a train bound for Chicago. When he discovered the mishap, he ran so fast to catch the Kansas City train that he faded the blue stripes in his foot ballcap. Baumgartner, at an Omaha hotel, ordered a pleasant smile for desert and was ordered out of the house for flirting with the waitress, but by the assistance of Russell was enabled to fix matters up satisfactorily with both waitress and landlord. Curry chewed up the official score card which accounts for its absence here. After being shown through Nebraska's beautiful gymnasium, a handsome structure as large as Spooner library fitted with every appliance for the development of physical manhood, the boys were asked how it compared with ours. Some one aptly replied "We have none. All we Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pens The fountain of pen satisfaction. A gift of never ending usefulness and a constant pleasant reminder of the giver.

The amusement loving public demands something new and novel always and comedy is the undoubted craze of the present as in this form of amusement, when it is interspersed with up-to-date features, the public whim is gratified to a greater extent than in almost any other. Among the managers to recognize this fact were the Marx & Keich Company, who present this season one of the most unqualified successes ever recorded in the annuals of farce comedy. Their property is entitled "The Air Ship." It is written by Mr J M Gaites, one of the country's foremost writers in that line of work; it boasts of a plot that is simple yet wilful so unproactively funny that old and young alike are kept in a coddinal grin of expectation from the rise of the first until the 'all' of the final curtain. The singing is of a high grade, the choruses bright and catchy, and everything goes with a vim that is highly entertaining An efficient cast representing an unusual amount of talent has been engaged and special massive and picturesque scenery for the entire three acts is carried by the management. An opportunity of seeing this meritorious comedy will be given next Monday evening at the opera house. Regular house prices will prevail and the advance sale of seats opens Saturday. "ArIZona," the new play by Augustus Thomas the author of "Alabama," is to be seen in Lawrence March 21st. The excellent company which will appear in it, is under the direction of Mr. Kirke LaShelle, who is also proprietor of the Frank Daniels opera company, and Mr. Fred R. Hamlin, business manager of the Grand opera house, Chicago. "ArIZona" wa given its initial production in Mr. Hamlin's theatre on June 12th, and achieved the unparalleled triumph of running for four consecutive months to enormous business. Graduate Club. The Graduate club met for organization last Monday. The club is to be heartily congratulated on the large attendance at the meeting and the interest shown. K.U, needs an active society of graduate workers and they, in turn, have many more opportunities by being organized. The business transacted was the election of officers. Professor Blackmar was made honorary president. The following regular officers were elected; president, J K Klatz; secretary, Eloise Abel; treasurer D E McFarland; executive committee, Misses McCrory, Henderson and Warren, Messrs.

Will Come Here from England in May to Examine the Kansas University Collection of Fossils. Word has just been received that Dr A Smith Woodward, one of the most noted of European paleontologists and director of the natural history department of the British Museum, will pay a visit to the University of Kansas in May for the purpose of examining the museum of paleontology. This collection of fossils has be come noted the world over, and during the past five or six years has been visited by every noted paleontologist of this country. There are but three collections in America that surpass it in extent, and in certain departments it is unrivalled in the world. That a European scientist should take the trouble to come to Kansas in order to examine it, certainly indicates the reputation it has obtained in foreign countries. Unfortunately its growth has been checked seriously in the last few years on account of insufficient means to continue the work as it should be. No more serviceable work could be undertaken by some man of means than the sustaining and improving of what might easily become in a few years one of the most noted and important museum of fossils in the world. Two literary societies in the colleges at accompton debated in German a few days ago, the question, 'Resolved, That the ow is better than the horse.' NORTHWESTERN University Medical School.

The northern part of the exhibition ground is occupied by a square about 500 feet from east to west and 350 feet from north to south. The buildings bounding three sides of this square and the arrangement of the square itself have been given to Messrs. Babb, Cook and Willard of New York, and the style adopted—a very free version of Spanish architecture—has suggested the name of the plaza, which has been given it. The central portion of this square is occupied by a terrace only very slightly raised above the surface of the square, and surrounding a sunken garden, in the middle of which is a bandstand. The terrace as well as the garden itself will afford a large space for listeners who attend the concerts which it is proposed to give. A. E. PROTSCH ARTISTIC TAILOR.

Address, THE PATENT RECORD, Football in the Olden Time In the year 1583 a Puritan, named Philip Stobbes, published a book in which he describes football as then played in a manner which is to us both quaint and amusing, but which shows the games in its practices and consequences to have been unchanged by the passing of over 300 years. Master Stubbles thus discourseth: "Now who is so grossly blind that seeth not that these aforesaid exercises not only withdraw us from godliness and virtue, but also haile and we can wickedness and sin? For as concerning football playing I protest unto you that it may rather be a friendlie kind of fygthe than a play or recreation—a bloody and furthering practice than a felowly sport or pastime. For dooth not every one live in weight for his adversarie, seeking to overthrow him and picke him on his nose, though it be uppon hard stones, in ditch or dale. in valler or hill, or whatever place soever it be he careth not, so he hee have him dowe; and he that can serve the most of this fashion he is counted the only fellow, and who he?…… So that by this means sometimes their necks are broken, sometimes their backs, sometimes their legs, sometimes their arms, sometimes their noses gush out with blood, sometimes their eyes start out, and sometimes hurte in one place, sometimes in another. But whosoever scapeth away the best goeth not scot free, but is either forewounded, caried, or bruised, so as he dyeth of it or else scapeth very hardier; and no marvaille, for they have the sleights to meet one betwixt two, to dash him against the hart with their elbows, to hit him under the short ribs with their griped fists and with their knees to catch him on the hip and picke him on his neck, with a hundred such murthering devices."
