SORORIT Y LAMPS PA Y
VISIT TO FRAT ROW
Early morning prowlers are again
in evidence along Fraternity Row.
Sorority piano lamps are again wan
dering aimlessly down Lincoln streets
and depositing themselves on frater
nity piazzas. Not content with carry
ing these luxurious furnishings to
nearby fraternity abodes, the maraud
ers and "riders of the morning" have
smashed the lamp globes to bits, and
have dragged cord and wall-plug in
the dirt until they are almost beyond
identification.
These kindergarten methods are
producing many hearty laughs among
the more-serious minded students at
the University. There are many good
arguments for and against these acts
of rowdyism. It is, of course, con
ceded that sorority houses should not
be entered in the wee hours of the
morning and ransacked. But on the
other hand, it has been suggested
that sororitv houses should keep their
front doors locked during the night,
and up until morning, at least.

WESLEYAN OPENS
BASEBALL GAMES
Diamond Practice Assuming More
Business-Like Aspect Candi
dates Number Forty.
Eight Hurlers Show Marked
Ability in Pitching
Box.
With the first game but. three weeks
distant, baseball in the Cornhusker
camp is assuming a more business
like aspect and the squad is settling
down to the task of grinding out a
well-trained nine that can emerge
successfully from a season of stiff .
games. On April 16 and 17 the
Huskers meet their first opponents
when they cross bats with the Ne
braska Wesleyan team at the M
street park. The Methodists have at
tained the reputation of always turn
ing out an excellent diamond squad
and the first battles of the season
will give the Huskers a real test.
The Varsity squad has now sim
mered down to about forty candi
dates. Of these forty, only one is a
letter man. The task of building a
strong team when the lack of
veterans is so evident is indeed
difficult. The one strong department
of the Husker outfit will be the pitch
ing staff. At present Coach Schissler
has about eight hurlers all of whom
show ability. Among these are
Pickett, the only "N" man on the
squad, Kline, Peterson, Smith, Wil
liams, McCrory r.nd Lamb. Several
of these are experienced pitchers and
will no doubt help greatly in defend
ing the Scarlet and Cream. In the
catching department Schissler has at
his disposal Hubka, Smith, Cerny and
Swanson.
The squad includes a large number
of infielders from which Schissler will
no d.-ubt be able to select an air-tight
Varsity infield. Some of the shining
lights now playing at infield positions
are: Lynn, Bailey, Russell, Howarth,
Swanson, Graves, Bekins, Williams,
Hlggins, Smith, Reavis and Ernst.
Among these are several who have
had considerable baseball experience
and are capable of stacking up
against the best material in the Mis
souri Valley. In the outfield there
is plenty of material. Wythers,
Crandall, Hubka, Norton, Hopkins,
Pickett, McCrory and others can all
qualify for garden positions.
Coach Schissler has recently closed
negotiations whereby the Huskers
will make a four-game invasion of
Oklahoma. On April 21 and 22 they
will clash with the Sooners at Nor
man and then journey to Stillwater
for a brace of games with Oklahoma
A. & M. School on April 23 ana it.
