Last year the s large as it should have due to the fact that the no diamond of thelr own, fut were forced to use Antelope park, which is sevaral | blocks away from the campus, This spring | the players have a fleld on the campus and they practice base ball without taking to0 much time from thelr school work It was the lack of a diamond on the campus that kept the freshman from show- Ing a great interest in the game. Fewsof them showed up for practice, and consé- quently the coach has no line on what | they can do. Had they responded to the practice call last year, the coach would know this spring just what material he can depend upon. As it Is he will have to wait until the spring campalgn opens be- fore he can ascertaln how much good material there is among last year's fresh- man class. Freshman Team This Ye Hereafter, the base ball coach will have a chance to keep track of all the material in school. The freshman class is to be given 4 nine that will be granted sweaters and equipped with uniforms by the athletic board. Games with other college freshman nine will be scheduled for them. By glving the freshmen, who are now barred from Intercollegiate competition, & team each year, all the first year base ball materfal will be encouraged to try out, and the coach may thereby learn just what players he can depend upon for the varsity the following season. Manager Eager is now trying to arrange a schedule of games for the freshman nine, and he wishes to hear from any col- lege or high school teams of the state that would like to meet the Cornhusker first year nine, either In Lincoln or out in the state, All-Year Comch in 1911. To appease the wrath of the men Who are disappointed over the selection of Cole as foot ball coach, the athietic board ls announcing that after next fall one man will be elected to coach all Cornhusker athletics and that he will be permitted to get assistants for the four branches of the sports. The new coach will be chosen time before Junuary 1, 1811, thgt he may take charge of the basket ball feam next season, Before Cole was elected the board con- sidored the election of Walter Stetfen, the former University of Chicago star athlete, and had he been a tested coach he probably would have been given the Nebraska job. For the year-around place the Cornhusker board just now Is considering Tad Jones, the ex-Yale gridiron star. He has been recommended to the Nebraska mentors by Walter Camp and he may be hired before the close of the preseiit school year to take charge of Cornhusker athletics after January 1 next.

After the games next week the Cornhuskers will play two more with each Drake and Ames on the floors of the latter schools. In the games next week the Nebraska basket tossers should be in much better condition than they were fof the encoun- ters with Ames this week.

How English Derby Winner Got His Name, 0DD BIT OF BRITISH HIB'.I'ORYL Original Wild Dayrell Murders His Son in the Hall Where King Willlam 111 Feasted Later. W YORK, Jan. 2.—Among the queer tales of the English turf there s nome more strangely fascinating than that of Wild Dayrell, the derby winner of 1855, and Littlecote House, where he was bred. In fact there are two Stories in one—Wild Dayrell the man and the horse named after him—and which Is the greater ro- mance Is hard to determine, Littiecote House, which is the same today as it was conturies ago, stands in a very lonely situa. tion near Hungerford. On three sides it is bounded by & park which spreads over an adjoining hill, and on the fourth by mead- ows sloping down to “the Kennet swift, for silver eels renowned." Close by the house on one side is a thick grove of lofty trees round which the ave- nue winds from the entrance. The pile itself is a bullding of great antiquity, ap- parently erected when feudal warfare had terminated, and strong defences were no longer necessary toward the protection of the country mansion. The interlor is sug- gestive uf olden times, for the spacious hall 1s floored with stone and lighted with large transom windows. Its walls are hung with old military accoutrements and at one end Is a range of coats of mall and helmets, and on every side is an abundance of old- fashioned pistols, guns and matchlocks. Below the corfilce 1s suspended a row of leather jerkins and a large black oak table stretches the whole length of the floor. Spooky Things Plentiful. The rest of the furniture is suitable in style, and particularly a cumbrous arm chair sald to have been used in Elizabeth’s time. At the other end of the hall Is a gloomy staircase ascending to the first floor, upon which there is a long gallery with bedroom doors opening Into it. In one of these darkeome chambers is a bed- stead with blue hangings, now dingy and threadbare, with a hole near the bottom of one showing where a patch had been cut away, but sewed up afterward with some cloth similar in color. The keynote to this patch furnishes the tale of Wild Dayrell, the man, It was on a dark ralny night, so, the yarn goes, in the month' of November about three centuries ago that an old mid- wife sat musing by her cottage fireside when she was suddenly startled by a loud knocking at her door. On opening it she found a horseman outside who told her that her professional assistance was wanted by a lady of fank who would suit- ably reward her for her trouble. The stranger sald that there was only one con- dition attached to the call and that was that she should consent to be led into the bedchamber blindfolded. After the accoucher consented the man blindfolded her and placed her on the pillion behind him. Crime In the Olden Days. They went along in silence through many lanes and byways until they stopped at a house Into which the midwife was ush- ored and still blindfolded. From the length of hér walk along the passages the | woman concluded that the house belonged | to some wealthy man. When the bandage wils removed from her eyes she found her- seit In a large bedroom. On the bed was a lady, while & man of haughty and. fe- roclous looks paced up and down the room, In a short time a fine boy was born, but the man immediately took it and burned it. When the midwife afforded all the relief she could 4o the unfortunate mother she was told she must be gone. Her former conductor appeared and again bound her eyes and started off with her to her home, Arrived there he pald her handsomely and galloped away in what she thought a dif- ferent direction from which they came, Strongly moved by the horrors of the preceding night, the midwite made a deposition before a magistrate next morn- ing. Two circumstances afforded hopes of detecting the house in which the crime had been committed, one being that the mid- wite, as she gat by the*bedside, had cut a peice out of the bed curtain; the other that as she descended the staircase she counted the steps, Suspiclon at once fell upon Dayrell, the proprietor of Littlecote house, which was examined and identified by the midwife. Dayrell was tried for the murder at Salis- bury, but oscaped the sentence of the law by corrupting the judge. A few months later he broke his neck by a fall from his horse, when hunting. The spot where he came to his end is still pointed out and i known as Dayrell's Stile, and it is dreaded by the country folk, espeolally when the shades of evening catch them passing by. House in New Hands. On Dayrell's death, which ocourred in 168), Sir Jobn Popham took possession of Littlecote house, and it has practically re- malned in the possession of that family ever since. A century later Willlam, Prince of Orange, afterward William 11T, stopped at Littlecote on his way from Salisbury to London. The future king was | met at Hungerford by James II's commis- sloners and they all stopped a night at Littlecote house. In the early '#0s the house was leased to Mr. Padwick, one of the “Romeo Lords,” and for a few years the 0ld place was the scene of some high Jinks | by his assoclates. Wild Dayrell, the horse called after the owner of Littlecote house, was an em- phatic fllustration of good luck In racing. He was bred In a most pecullar way, | trained still more peculiarly, and yet there | has never since been the least question | that he was the best animal of his day. His owner, Francls Leybourne Popham, bred & derby winner from the only brood mare in his possession, and still more re- markable it was the mare's first foal. Ellen Middleton,, Wiid Dayrell's dam, was the first thouroughbred pwned by Pop- ham, and he came by her more by chance | than' good fudgment. Rickaby, who was | Popbam's groom, saw her advertised for| sale, and thought so highly of the Bay| Middleton and Myrrha in her breeding| (hat upon the advice of his employer he wrote to Robert Hill, the owner, for the price. The answer came back that she | could be had for the nominal sum of $250, | and Rickaby at once closed the deal. Good Luck Follows Om, There belng no stallion of note near Littlecote, Rickaby sent early next| apring on & voyage of dlscovery among the varfous stud farms in search of & suitable sire. At length he came to Bare John, Irish Birdcatcher, John O’Gaunt, and Ion. Rickaby, much perplexed, at last fixed on Ion. and Ellen was sent to him. The following April about 2 o'ciock one morning Ellen had a colt foal which was wheeled in @ barrow by the butler into a warm box. Wheén daylight streaked In he | was found to be a brown foal and his | breeding was by Ton (son of Cain) out of Ellen Middleton by Bay Middieton, out of Myrrha, oui of Malek, out of Bessy. Fodisna aT—— When Rickaby got home to his cottage | back with another filly |a purchase about 6 o'clock on that April morning he {0ld his wife that he had seen’a strange sight which meant either good or evil. It s that of a wild duck and wild drake sitting on a quickset hedge. close by the high road. At the time Wild Dayrell was born Pop- ham had MNttle or no iea of taking up racing, so' the following year he adver- tised the coit for sale. Several offers were privately made, especlally after Dogebert, by Ion, won the Chesterfleld Stakes, and Lord H. Lennox sent his trainer to look at the colt. He bought Wild Dayrell for $1,500. In his 2-vear-old career Wild Day- rell was beaten a trial and he was sent to Tattersall's for sale. Popham bought him figure of $1,150. and thus as Lord Bentinck | parted with Surplics and Colonel Peel with Kingston so did Lord Lennox part with a Derby winner. Training a Derby Winner. As soon as Wild Dayrell reached home Popham decided that he would put him In training at onee. He refused to sond the colt to Russley for the preparation, but gave Rickaby two miles of ground on the banks of the Kennet for the exerclsing gallops. Rickaby generally led the gallops on Zegra, a fast 5-year-old gelding, while his son Tom had the leg up on the Derby candidate. People around the locality of Littlecote House laughed at the homely, old-fashioned way of training & Derhy haorse, but Rickaby knew all about a horse and he did as he saw fit, The first public appearance of Wild Dey- rell took place at the Newmarket first October meeting, when he won a stake for 2-year-olds valued at $1,150, beating a ocouple of youngsters that had previously shown good form. Belng desirous that his colt should have some good trial animals Popham bought a colt named Jack Shep- herd for $7,500, and he leased ‘another one named Gamelad for six months. A couple of weeks before the Derby a trial took place on Weathercock Hill. Wild Dayrell carried 122 pounds and he was steered by Sherwood, who rode him in the Derby, and he ran clean away from his trial hovses, along with glving them a' blg allowance in welght. Close as the detalls of the trial were guarded it Jeaked out what Wild Dayrell had done, and a week before the Derby Popham was offered $25,000 not to start the colt. This was scorned by Popham, whe sald he wapld not give the honor of winning the derby for ten times that sum. In the meantime Rickaby and the owner kept & sharp lookout that nobody tampered with the hotse, and a force of four trusty retainers kept vigil on his box night and day. Rickaby slept over his box every night, while below were two men armed, and with orders to shoot anyons who en- tered the stall. * Won with E: Never was' a derby won with greater ease than that of Wild Dayrell. He simply caritered with the field to Tottenham Cor- ner, where he drew ahead as if the others were standing still. Sherwood, who rode him, d4id not quite carry out the owners' orders, for he was told not to hit the colt with the whip except he was getting beaten on the home stretch. When within fitty yards or %o of the post, and when three of four lengths in front Sherwood, out of mere bravado, drew his whip and let Wild Dayrell have a whistling cut of it on the flank. The unnecessary blow seemed to drive the colt crazy on the instant, for he flew in the air and went buck jumping across the finish line and ran away across the course. He went clean across the country and was only stopped when he ran into a white thorn hedge. It took some time to dlsentangle him out of the hedge, where- in he Injured one of his legs, which gave him trouble ever afterward, so the omen of the wild ducks brought good and evil at one and the same time. The value of Wild Dayrell's derby was $23,875. At the stud he was not such a great success, but he had the honor of perpetuating a strain which, If not the stoutest, is the most valuable varlety of the thoroughbred. Wild Dayrell was found | dead in his box on November 27, 1870, BUYINGCARS ATSECONDHAND | (Continued from First Page.) machinery that cannot be “spotted” other- wise, one end of the tube being applied to the ear and the other moved about over the suspected sources of the noise.

Patterson Beneke Beneke Schneeberger Stenger TIPS ON THE DINING CAR Difficalty of Making a Workably 563 | 455 au S TS R A well known rallway man, giving a fee to a restaurant waiter who had been con- splouously inefficient, was remonstrated with by one of his guests and asked why he gave It. “Because I am a moral cow- ard,” replied the victim. Having in mind | this truthful explanation we wish to &peak | a word In defense of certain passengers on | dining cars, who at a recent meeting of the association of dining car superintend- ents were characterized by one of the mem- bers as lacking in bralns. This superin- tendent is quoted as saying: ‘“‘Speaking of | tips, the majority of those who eat in dining cars eat about one or two meals on a train each year. Many of them have more money than brains, and are perfectly able to pay a tip and would do so whether the company ruled against it or not. Any discussion of the subject or any attempt at such rules will only put our business in a The tip question has become a nuisance because many travelers lack the courage to offer a fee on a 10 per cent scale, such as Is generally adopted In Eu- ropean countries. They prefer to give a rather than face the disapproving look of a negro waitel Lack of brains is, we submit, a wrong diagnosis, at least In the great majority of cases. But why the moral cowardice? In many cases the trouble, no doubt, is worse than that; It is moral dishonesty. The pas- senger is using his employer's money and does not exercise the care that he would with his own money. Agaln, perhaps a higher rate than 10 per cent is appropriate on dining cars. If the service s satisfac- tory, or nearly so, It is safe to say that the waiter is of a higher grade than one could find at a hotel charging the same prices for meals; it is necessary to get this dining car are to be properly performed. A higher grade of waiter may appropri- ately recelve a larger fee, Moreover, the raflways are constantly giving meals in dluing cars which ought to be priced 50 per cent higher than they are, If cost Ia considered; so that 10 per cent on the price is not the same as 10 per cent on the value, This works to the dlsadvantage of the walter. The two Inexorable tacts of the tip’ question appear to be (1) that there is no way to change the habits of the consider- able number of customers who ive tips freely and voluntarily, and (2) that many deem it right to pay only the lowest re- spectable amount, while some others would pay none at all, exéept by the compulsion of custom. The fact that tips will be pald, and will vary in amount would seem to leave the dining car superintendent no cholce but to do his best to make his wait- ers practice the ordinary civility of always expressing thanks, regardless of the amount of the gift—as the best waiters al- ways do. This is the only workable rule The passenger can, of course, ignore the disapproving look,” but he should not be required to do 80, It the dining car man- ager can correct his waiters' behavior, for such incidents impalr digestion, and thus may damage the reputation of the kitchenl ~Rallway Age-Gazette, BELLEVUE ENTERS ON PLANS TO GET THAT BIG FUND ewe Trustees, Now that School is Independent, Are Going After the Money. Plans for an aggressive campalgn in an effort to raise $150,00 have been made by truse of Bellevue college. The action of Friday afternoon whereby the college board voted against the proposition to con- solidate with Hastings college and thereby declared Bellevue independent of the Pres- byterian synod means that immediate steps must be taken to clear the school of debt. The following resolutions were adopted by the trustees after the merger propo tion had been coldly turned down: “Resolved, That the board of trustees recognizes that Bellevue college is a trust committed to it for maintenance, protec- tion and development at Bellevue, and we hereby express our determination to main- tain the college In its integrity at Belle- vue with all its present functions unim- paired; that we recognize the necessity for an immediate and aggrestive financial cam- palgn along the lines suggested by the executive committee in October, and that we take up and unremittingly prosecute a campalgn for the securing of funds to the amount of $150,000 at least, §50,00 of this amount to be applied to current expenses and $100,000 to be invested as endowment, and we, the trustees, pledge our individual and collective actlve support in this en- deavor, and we invite the friends of Chris- tian education throughout the state of Ne- braska and the east to join In this work, 8o that while the permanence of Bellevue college is assured, its effectiveness may be kept up to a standard of assured compe- tence."" Cardinal Reads His Own Defense Lucon Appears Before Bar in France to Answer Charge for Attack- ing Schools. RHE France, Jan. 22.—Cardinal Lu- con, archbishup of Rheims, appearcd before the bar in his own behalf today at the con- tinuance of the suit instigated against him %y the public school teachers, charging that in slgning the episcopal letter warning Catholic parents against the public schools he had designed to destroy the authority of the teachers. The cardinal read a statement In which he declared that for his spiritual ministry, | except to God, he owed responsibility only to the head of the church. He denied that the eplscopal letter had been Inspired by political considerations, adding: “To complain that the public schoolt are becoming an instrument of de-Christianiza~ tion does not constitute an attack upon the political regime of France. “France,” he sald, "‘will ratify this judge ment because it comprehends that we are the real defenders of consclence and the champlons of its sacred liberties.” ' Jan Pouren Not Condemn RIGA, Russia, Jan. 22.—The man con- demned’ to death by a courtmartial hers yesterday was Jan Poured, an alleged mur- derer, and not, as at first reported, Jan Pouren, the revolutionist who escaped to the Unifed States some years ago. i ibvabtvtiutdetsh Ay o Cosnd Beats Aggies.
