Witching Hour" nine hundred and for
sy-seven times before his death.

ers to play the leading part in "The
Witching Hour," Thursday, Friday

tire caste has been most care
fully chosen and all the mem
bers are well fitted for their respective

Herman Thomas can live the part

stood up under the strain of 947 pre-sc-niatlons.

BASEBALL BUG
STINGS IIUSKERS
Nebraskans Once More Prance
Around on Diamond After
Years of Rest.
VETERANS REPORT FOR
DUTY
The baseball bug has invaded the
University of Nebraska after staying
clear of the Husker institution for &
number of years and the wearers of
the Scarlet and Cream are once moro
prancing around on the diamond. Out
door workouts are now being held anl
Coach Schissler is prophesying a high
Lclass baseball aggregation. A number
of candidates of well-known ability
are found among the squad, Including
Pickett, Hubka, Reavls, Kline, Peter
son, Schellenberg and others.
The city of Lincoln has granted the
use of the M street park to Coach
Schissler's team and this gives the
Husker pine an. excellent field on
which to stage their games. The floM
is being put in condition and in the
course of a few days will be ready for
use. Until that time the Huskers ara
practicing on the University athletic
field. About, fifty Varsity candidates
are expected to be out by the time the
squad moves to the city park.
The matter of arranging a classv
schedule is receiving its share of at
tention. The Haskell Indian School
is the latest addition to the Nebraska
chart and this is a game that will
put the Cornhuskers to a real test.
The Indian school always has strong
teams in all branches of athletics and
will no doubt give the Huskers a hard
battle for honors on the diamond. The
Redmen take to baseball with avidity
and are very adept at the game.
Coach Schissler states that he is
still desirous of seeing more men re
porting for baseball. Not only Varsi
ty candidates are wanted but also
mtn for the freshman squad. It is
his intention to have a freshman tea
ft r practice with the Varsity and sev
eral games with colleges of the State
Conference will be arranged for the
first-year men. A good freshman nine
s a very essential part of a successful
Varsity team. All men who desire to
try for either the Varsity of fresh
man team are requested to report nt
the athletic office.
