Assistant Coach Hurry Ewing of ths university football team has announced that he will curl a spring practice for the first Monday after the K-isle Micutlon, April 4. This will be the lirst spring practice worthy of the to he held at the Cornhuiker school. In the days of "Rummy" Booth, it naa tne custom to hold a kicking contest In tlui sprit, but this has been ilsoonilnucd live years.

In 1906 a game wai played with Poane under the nil -8 which hud ust been deviled, permitting the forwtid jiss and the on-slde regular sing practice hud ever been given th university athletes, however, previous to this year. The work will be Prgely a drill in football fundamentals. Nebraska Vims been notably weak in this respect for gome years, no time wus this more apparent than in the Haskell Indian game of last Thanksgiving day when the Indians followed the bull with a hawklike persistence, their being on hand when needed resulting in two of their scores and the loss of the game ror NeDrasKa. Tackling at Nebraska has been rather weak, a few men having natural ability along this line, but the majority are afraid to leave their feet. The name maybe said of dropping on the ball.

Forward passing and the reception of the paaswill receive attention, while kicking and rs-turnlng of punts will demand il'ue from the backfield candidates. It Is thought that about thirty men will report for this spring work. Amrng the veterans who are to ba n.nintel on are Collins, Minors Shon.la, Klllitt. Wol-cott. Temple.

Cna'uner. Magor, Frank Hasrali and Ratlibone. Lofgren, who was kept off the team last fall by a little hard luck, will be out, and Frank, Warner. Gibson. Hornberger and Kositsky of the freshmen of last fall are.

all counted on as hard competitors for places on tim 1010 team. Some of these men are busied with track and baseball, but It is thought that nearly all will be out for some of the spring work. LIXC0IN WILL GO High School To Send Team to Inter-scholastic Meet at Dei Moines May. 14. The trvouts for choosing tho team that will represent the Lincoln high school at the Missouri valley Intreschohislic meet at lies Moines on May 14 will be held tho last of April.

The high school athletes have raised $100 to cover the expenses of the team ou the trio to Des Moines. Athletic Director Philpott states that as many men as can make good will be taken along. In former years the number was somewhat restricted, but this spring all the high school athletes that can demonstrate their ability to do something for their school will be given an opportunity to compete.

There ore only about two old men -available. Leslie Munn. and Towle. The remainder of Hie teams will have to be-made up of th-; new material but there is- an abundiincA f. this and the prospects Ot- sciiool are (," The team that will at Omaha on April 1.

IMPROVE FIELD Cinder Path Artaind Entire Grounds la Being Put In Baseball Diamond Has Been Graded. The athletic field at the university Is one of the busiest places in town these days.

MBWiiin -men are wonting out. "Amble mndtyT round the field, and all the wnlle half a dosen teamsters arc slowly scooping out the dirt from the running inu-n ana placing It at the edges of the field. The changes now being made In the Held will probubly cost the athletic board about The most expensive improvement Is the InstallHtlon of the running track, which requires the scooping out of rth in tile truck to a depth of over a foot. The plure of the earth la tnklng by two layers of cinders, one coarse and carelessly thrown In, the oilier fine and sifted to make a sort nnd umooLh track. The entire Held Is guided off towards this track which will be a storm sewer for the field.

Water will seep through the soft upper conting of the track -with ense, while the lower bed of cinders will carry It away. The ground of the field la rough and uneven, the Infield of the diamond being so rough that accurate fielding has been Impossible. This bos been largely remedied during the Inst few days by the use of drags, which have leveled and smoothed out the ground and aatifsted in the grad-ItiK. The board does not exnect to complete the work whleb the field demands th'l soring. The funds In the treasury aro running low nnd will be exhausted Jong Iwfnre the field Is In the must desirable condition.

The board does not think It advisable to borrow money to carry on tiie Improvement but will wait until the fnli when the football season has put a surplus in the treasury.

AT BALL PARK improvemcnis ai 5ireei Grounds Comfort of Fans Cared For a. Low Spots. Eliminated Frcm Diamond and Whole Field' Graded The street ball park will be more attractive to fans than ever before at the opening of the coming season. Besides the -additional features that President Despain is signing up in the way of players, a thorough house- cleanioe ibas been carried on at the gathering-place of the fans until the grounds will present a far different appearance from what they have In former years. The greatest improvement has been made to the diamond.

Ths old low places where the frogs used to congregate for their nightly chorus practice have been filled up, until now the rain that does not soak in will run off. Soil has been hauled in and rolled down, and all that is lacking is a good heavy rain to finish the work of packing. The holes that marked the pitcher's box and the home plate have been filled with clay which has been firmly tamped down. An additional change for the benefit of the players is the improvement of the club house. An addition has been ttuilt and shower baths have been put in.

Players' benches have been built partly lowered into the ground, so that ample head-room is provided for the men, and the roof will not interfere with the view of the spectators. New plumbing has been put in over the entire park. While the players were being looked after the comfort of the fans has not been neglected, however. A new roof been put onto the south section of the grandstand, the north bleachers have been rebuilt, and fifteen roomy boxes' have been installed. Provision has been made for 500 additional spectators In all.

The entire structure will be painted thoroughly, and the space south of the bleachers has been sodded. The entire Improvements will cost when completed from $1,800 to $2,000. Estimates are being received by tho backeVs of. the project -for the construction of another ball park for Lincoln at Capital to cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. It is expected that work will be begun on this structure, in the next few days, and that it will be pushed rapidly.

As now planned the park will be one of the finest In the Western League circuit. The grandstand will be so planned that if there is ever a speeding track made around the lake it can be used for races. EXPLAINS IT Dr. Clapp Gives Straight of cf Track Coach at State University, -The following statement has been Iven btitby-the athletic board in regard to tlia muddlo which disclosed itself the election---of the track coach i-r Mill. The annoying delay in tho svleciitn of a coach for the university of Nebraska track team was finally brought to mi end last Wednesday bv die nccepltne nf the athletic hoard's offer by M.

After considerable delay. he In making the necessary un-a'tiri-tucn's and the track committee renummen il to the athletic hoard that Mr. 'Jhenlivton be engaged. In the meantl ne. Mr.

H. Roper are laying claims to having made the biggest killing in the spring shooting of any of the Lincoln rlmrods.

One -afternoon they brought In twenty-seven red-heads and mallards, but after this flight the hunti Ing was about over, as the warm weather spoiled it. On that occasion the bottoms were black with the birds. "We hud expected to kill seventeen." said C. H. Roper when telling of it, "but I couldn't dray 'Ox' away until he had killed "Just one We stayed a few minutes longer and made.

It ten better." One dny hist week Mr. Lau. Mr. Roper and Klmer Hlnkle went out and got three geese and seven mallard. "Ox" demonstrated his ability as a long distance runner by chnslng a winged mallard all over the bottoms.

"Unless wo got some more -rain the Shooting 1s prcttywell Over, said Mr. Hoper. "I sajv a few snipe flying the other day. but In the main things are pretty quiet When we get a south wind for a day or two and then the wind changes to the north we have fair shooting, and the snipe and the green wing teul are beginning to come. When they commence to IL-rht and stay along tho creeks It's good evidence that the air illglit bus gone through.

The first warm rain that comes along, though, will maku good snips shooting." As soon as the shooting season closes on April the Capllul Bench Gun club will begin proceedings. One ehoot was held laHt week, and as soon as the muets begin in earnest the club will start blue rock shooting. Purine the summer a shoot for prlse will be held, and in all prouaoiiiiy a tournament will also De ar ranged before fall. There are now ninety-six members In good standing tg the rlub, and the prospects are good for an Interesting time during the summer, according to the statements of prominent shooting enthusiasts. Te grouttls of the club at Capital Reach will be grently Improved during the season, and features will lie added so that other sports besides aliott- Inug may be engaged In.

The state shoot Is to be held at C- lumbus this year, and a goodly number of the members of the Litroln club will attend. The national shoot will be held In Chicago in June, and several Lincoln men will go there to tnke part in the grand American handicap.

HAS MANY VETS Three Men Here Ever Slcce the Team Besan-'Many Second Year Men Paul Cobb Will Come First of Week McCafferty Still In the Air When the season of 1910 opens the fans of Lincoln will see three faces that have graced tho diamond for each of the four years that Lincoln has possessed a Western league franchise.

One of these. Jack Thomas, came here with the franchise from St, Joe, and the other two, Bddie Gagnlcr and John Jones, came somewhat later In the same season. Two of the players who will help to bring the 1910 rag into the Prohlb camp have been here for two years before the present season. They are Manager James Sullivan and Left Fielder Jude. Of the men who were acquired last season there is seemingly no end.

Waldron, Farthing, Kune-maker, Cockmun, WcUrath, Aynn, Nagle, Hogrieyo, and MolnlTeHy are the men who are starting -their second season with the team that has Us headquarters on the Imnka of the serene Antelope. There Is a fine lineup of prospects on deck, but It Is too early yet to count many of them in on the lineup tor 1810. Some of the onea who have shown up already at the street grounds have looked pretty good to the ones who sit in JudKtnent, and it It is expected that they will have their contracts in their pockets before they go back home to get their other shirts. To supplement Sullivan behind the home plate'- there is Clark-of Show-hegan. To assist with thetwirling, live prospects are now on the docket, and another or two Is being considered, The five who have been brought into camp so far are Fox, Wolver-ton, Huntington and Hartman, and President Despain is at present carrying on negotiations with President Murphy of the Chicago Nationals In regard to the purchase of one of the men of that club.

There are five pitchers upon whom the envious orbs of the Lincoln magnates are turning. Willis, OleBt, Knapp, Cole, and Schwenk. Any one of the three former have been offered to President Despain, but he is not sura about their ability to and negotiations were taken tip Saturday with the Chicago president regarding the purchase of one of the two luttor. definite has yet been done about the matter. James and Elliott will try out for the second sack, and Owens will try out for the third.

In the outfield Paul Cobb, Washer, and Southwlck will be given a chance. The little unpleasantness with the Hartford, team over Cobb has been settled in favor of President Despain. and he Is expected early this week. He is said to be fully aa fast as was his brother Ty at the same age, and much is expected of him. No agreement has yet been reached with Pitcher McCafferty, Some days ago President Despain heard that he had stated that he was a "free agent," because his contract had not been signed before March 1.

Tho management of the local team denies this, and states that he had his contract the latter part of April, The pitcher has accordingly been suspended by Secretary Furred of the national board, to be reinstated only at the request of the Lincoln association. Mc Cafferty was signed up by Lincoln lust spring after Ducky" Holmes had released him. Transportation has been' sent to the players who have not already arrived, and they, aro beginning to drop in Sf-vcrnl of them will show up Monday and the rent are expected the early part of the week.
