BASEBALL TILT
PLANS STARTED
Interfrat Diamond Tourney
Assured For Campus;
Start in April
REPLACES VARSITY GAME
It has been announced by the Ath
letic Department that an interfra
ternity baseball tournament will be
held again this year. The tourney
this spring will be more extensive
than ever before. This was decided
because Varsity baseball has been
discontinued temporarily. There is
sufficient interest, it is thought, in
the "American national game" to
warrant a real tournament, even
though it hase been necessary to dis
continue it as a sport here.
Competition will probably start in
April, although the date has not
been definitely set. Weather per
mitting, it will start then. The sche
dule will be made out previous to the
games, and not played at a date de
cided upon by the teams concerned,
Every team entered will play at least lege where he will conduct a series
SPRING GAGE WORK
BEGINS THIS WEEK
Coach Black Urges All Mea Wishing
To Try For Next Year's
Team To Report
Spring basketball will start Tues
day evening at 7:30 o'clock and will
last until spring vacation, it was an
nounced yesterday by Charles Black
Nebraska's new basketball coach.
There will be two practices a week,
of four practices this spring.
Coach Black urges all men who in
tend to try out for the team next
year to report for this spring s work.
This includes the men who are fresh
men now.
I want to get acquainted with the
men," said Coach Black. "We will
talk over the stylo of play to be used
next year and get used to each other."
Nebraska's new style of play next
year will not be much changed, ac
cording to the new mentor. It will
depend a great deal on the men on
the squad.
Coach Black leaves after spring
vacation to return to Grinnell Col-
two games. The series at the first
will be a one-game elimination.
When the semi-finals are reached,
each team will play the three win
ners. Percentage will be the basis
of deciding the winner, but if there
is a tie, elimination will again be
used.
Consolation Series
All teams eliminated in the first
round will play a consolation series,
this In the form of one game elimi
nation. This gives all the teams two
contests, at least.
The Athletic department has an
almost exclusive use of the Rock Is
land Park, where most, if not all, of
the games will be played. The sche
dule will be drafted before the series,
so that all teams will have notice as
to when they start.
It is evident that many of the
fraternities will have strong nines,
as they are already out "warming np'.
their "war clubs." Last year thirty
teams entered the tournament. The
Sigma Phi Epsilon nine won the
championship.
The Athletic Department is also
arranging for some other kind of
competition than the Greek tourna
ment. They intend to initiate inter
class and intercollegiate contests, al
though that may not be possible
this year. If plans 'are successful,
there will be baseball that will be
available to men other than those
belonging to a fraternity.

GRID SQUAD HAS
LIGHT W0RK00T
Bear? Lets Men Recuperate
After First Scrimmage
This Spring
LAWSON AND LEE AT END
Coach Bearg allowed his men to
recuperate from the first scrimmage
of Thursday, when he had light prac
tice Friday. The work consisted of
blocking practice for the linemen,
and punting, place kicking, passing,
and receiving for the ends. He lined
the teams up for signal practice, the
first team Ihe chose consisting of
Lawson and Lee, ends; Gates and
Brand, tackles; McMuIlen and Sofer
guards; and Morrison, center. Bron-
son was at the pilot position of the
team. Beck and Presnell at halves,
and Oehlrich at fullback. Zuver re
lieved Morrison and Howell took
Presnell's place.
Hard Workout Saturday
On Saturday, a good workout was
given to the squad. Punting and
passing were drilled upon. Lee and
Bronson kicked well. Real stiff arm
practice was given to the backs and
ends', while the linemen tackled them
as they ran by. Coach Bearg was
fitting a line on the men who could
tackle. Lee, Wickman, and Burns
did the best tackling. They were al'
members of the Varsity squad last
fall. Lee, Wostoupal and Beck all
ran through the field of tacklers in
good style.
Dummy Scrimmage
Bearg next started the men on s!
dummy scrimmage, running through
the plays. This soon, developed into
a real scrimmage. The first tesm
lino, as it started, was Lee and Bumf
on the flanks, Lucas and Durisch at
tackles, Whitemore and Staads at
guards, and Morrison at the pivot
position. The backficld started with
Oehlrich at full, Andrews and Kahler
at halfbacks and Bronson at quarter.
The chief opposition offered by the
defensive team was given by Beck,
at half, Gates at tackle, Holm at end,
and Reeves in the center of the line.
Bronson appeared as the best man
in the ollensive DacKiieia. ivanier
was slippery and made many good
gains, and Andrews did well, wnne
more, Staads and Durisch made some
holes in the line. Holm, who was
shifted from the defensive team,
proved as good on the offensive.
Startling Differences
In Comparison of Old
Cannon and New Rifle
The old Spanish-American war
cannon standing at the south-east
corner of the library would hardly
furnish enough material for a shell
for one of the long range rifles of
today. The old gun shot a shell
weighing thirty-two pounds and has
a range of nearly two miles.
Recently a sixteen inch rifle was
transported across the United States,
for use in the fortifications on the
Pacific Coast. Sixteen specially re
inforced steel railway cars were re
quired for the task. It was carried
on the Union Pacific line as this was
the only railroad whose road bed and
bridges were strong enough to stand
the enormous strain. The barrel of
the rifle alone weighs 100,000
pounds and the aggregate weight of
barrel and mechanism probably
reached 200,000 pounds. It fires a
shell weighing just a little over a
ton and 460 pounds of powder are
required for the job. The range of
this cannon is close to thirty-five
miles.
Electricity Used Now
The two handles on top of the
Spanish cannon were to enable it to
be handled more easily by a derick
in shifting it about for correct
ranges. 1 tie modern rules are con
trolled entirely by electricity and all
that is needed after the range has
been set is to press a button and
the gun slips up over the parapet,
fires, and then the recoil plus bal
ance brings it back inside the fort
again.
