THE WASHBURN WEEKLY REVIEW. Washburn vs. University of Nebraska, Athletic Park, April 30, 1898. This will be one of the best games of the season. The Nebraska team will make a tour of the state next week, and their press reports say that they have a good team.

The speakers on the Gamma Sigma debate Friday evening are: affirmative, Newcomb, Hargreaves and Jones; negative, Kropf, O'Neil and White. The question is: That less weight should be given to precedents in legal decisions. Excellent music will be provided. The location for a tennis court just east of the Cottage court has been abandoned. The ground is too low and drainage insufficient.

A court will probably be made just west of the old court. It will require some grading, but will be an excellent location for a court. Mr. Sheldon has kindly offered to assist in building the new court. A branch of the weather bureau has been stationed on the campus, in charge of G.

H. Noyes. Mr. Noyes will do experimental work with kites. The reel will be stationed south of the library.

Will Townsley, artist, care, Whitin Hall. Class pictures made to order at reasonable rates. (Mr. Townsley is a poor, rising young artist, and we can heartily commend him to the general public.) As a result of a bet on the result of the recent congressional convention at Horton, Leach can have no more pie at the club this year. He bet with Clark that Broderick would receive the nomination.

Prof. Grimsley sowed some supposedly watermelon seeds and invited his friends to a melon feast. But when he went to look for his melon, he found a sunflower. The feast has been indefinitely postponed. Washburn students were much excited the first of the week over the rumor that Mr.

Sheldon had resigned. It is now asserted that Mr. Sheldon will only ask for a few months' vacation from his clerical work. Frank G. Drenning, the "view man," is in town for a day or so, interviewing the men who are to go to Colorado next summer to sell views.

Mr. Drenning will be graduated from the Ann Arbor Law School this Spring. Leach says that retribution comes sure and swift. He locked a number of College boys up on the roof of Science Hall Sunday afternoon, but neglected to lock back doors. As a result his room was flooded with water from the fire.
