"Play ball!"
That cry signalled the opening
of baseball play in the National
and American leagues. Clement
weather conditions gave an aus
picious start Monday to the na
tion's chief sport. However, yes
terday Jupiter Pluvius practically
drenched all the playgrounds offl
the major league teams and forced
postponement of scheduled games.
Behind the effective twirling of
Hnl Schumacher, the New York
Giants, National league kings Inst
year, took the opening game by
downing the Brooklyn Dodgers, 4
to 3. The Giants meant business
in taking the inaugural and served
notice to their fraternity that they
do not intend to relinquish the
flag which they so ably garnered
last year.
The sensation of the major
leagues is none other than Hal
Feller, young chucker from Van
Meter, la. Pitching for the Cleve
land Indians, Feller has baffled
all adversaries in exhibition con
tests. What he can do while under
fire remains to be seen.
More bad tidings for the Hus
kers are emanating from Min
neapolis, rendezvous of the
mighty Minnesota football elev
en. In a recent intrasquad game
at the Gopher grid rectangle,
Tony Gmitro raced 76 yards lor
the lone score of the day.
If practice scores can carry
any weight In making guesses of
the power of football squads, the
Gophers of Bernie Bierman will
have plenty of reserve material
on hand to pull them thru their
stiff schedule. The Huskers will
open their season here this Octo
ber at Memorial stadium by
entertaining the Minnesota grid
sters. Orchids are due to Fred Matte
son, Nebraska's distance runner
and sharer of the Big Six indoor
mile event with his team mate,
Wilson Andrews, for his scholar
ship and track efficacy. At the
recent honors convocation, Fred
was awarded the Missouri Valley
Intercollegiate Athletic association
scholarship award.
Unperturbed by their 6-5 loss
Tuesday to Iowa State, Coach Wil
bur Knight's baseball players did
an about face yesterday and
handed the Ames squad, an 11-4
licking at the Muny diamond. Last
week the Husker nine reversed the
Oklahoma A. & M. outfit. For
the benefit of those who have
been lax in following the sports
pages, we want to inform them
that a member of the 1936 United
States Olympic baseball squad
plays first base for the Huskers.
He is none other than Paul Amen,
basketball and football expert.

TRI COLOR MEET
Jim Mather Captures Top
Honors in Broad Jump,
Hurdles, Dash.
For the third consecutive time,
Capt. Bob Kahler's Red team won
the tri-color track meet yesterday
at the stadium cinderway by es
tablishing a new scoring mark for
these contests as it chalked up 70
points. The Orange clan, piloted by
Bill Pfeiff, was runnerup with 46
points while Jim Mather's Green
finished in the rear at 33.
Altho the Reds absconded with
the contest, Jim Mather, versatile
athlete from Arapahoe, took indi
vidual laurels as he took firsts in
the broad jump, the 100 yard hur
dles. Initial places in the 120 yard
high hurdles and the high jump
were taken by Bob Kahler.
The only upset of the day ocur
red in the shot put event as Jack
Ashburn. Red weight man, de
feated the usual winner. Bill
Pfeiff. Ashburn's winning throw
was good for 40 feet 11 inches
while Bill Pfeiff's peg went but
39 feet 4 inches. This is the first
time that chunky Pfeiff has been
defeated in the iron ball throwing
event.
Mather Wins Century.
Jim Mather toured the 100 yard
dash in 10 seconds flat, the best
that he has run this race this year.
In the broad jump, Mather's win
ning leap of 22 feet 9 inches was in
a class by itself as Whittaker's
jump of 20 feet 10 inches brought
him a second and three points for
the Reds.
It took a five foot 11 1-2 inch
setting to eliminate Bob Kahler
from further participation in the
high jump. The Red captain had
little ado in capturing this event.
The Grand Island all around ath
lete was clocked at 15.8 in winning
the 120 yard high hurdles.
Elwood Pankonin, brother of Ne
braska's Les, 440 yard runner,
scampered the quarter mile in 53.5.
In capturing the 440 yard dash,
Elwood put on a performance
which was a counterpart to those
exhibited by brother Les. Again
it was a case of a strong finish
as Jack Calnon. lithe Orange ace,
traversed the 680 in 2:05.3 for a
first.
Beverely Ott, another Orange
member, turned on the heat within
30 yards of the finishing ribbon to
take first in the 220 yard dash
with a recording of 23.6. Hailing
from Brooklyn, Nathan Koester
off, wearing the colors of St. Pat
rick, skedaddled the mile in 5:04.4
for an initial place.

"English has at least four things
the matter with it: first, it is used
every day. No one expects stu
dents of algebra to go out and do
their problems on the sidewalks,
but English students are barely
out of the classroom before they
show what they haven't learned.
"English as a language is one
of the most treacherous of our so

meaning almost every time they
are used.
"Students have to waste endless
time learning the worst system of

they haven't much time left for
really important things.
