Baseball, perhaps the greatest of all sports, when speaking of generalities and not collegiate an Rles, has failed miserably in col leges, especially thruout the mid dle west. Even 10 cents sports novels, containing thousands of collegiate baseball stories haven't been able to Impress upon the minds of that Intellect that does read the magazine, that baseball should be an important collegiate game. Truthfully, the reason back of the dismal failure of collegiate baseball Is student interest and lack of emphasis upon it by col legiate athletic departments. The Daily Nebraskan last semester made a Herculean attempt at trying to get fans out to games, but who in the hell ever heard of "baseball" in college? Surely a dearth of material for teams is not the reason for the failure, for Nebraska has had players scouted by major league teams, so have other Big Six schools. Surely there Is enough color in the actual playing of the game to attract fans for proof of that Is shown clearly by the enor mous numbers of fans who see games Hnd the many who play baseball. Athletic departments do not concentrate on baseball simply because it does not draw crowds, thereby, prohibiting any real gain from the game. Unethical, of course, but probably sound business. However, baseball players are never sought out and asked to come to school. It's an admitted fact that Nebraska does want good football players and basketball or track men, even tho they do not subsidize. Subsidization Is a pretty serious accusation and should never be cast at a university unless there are loads and tons of proof to back it up. The fact remains, however, that we do not seek good high school baseball players, and high schools (Continued on Tage 4.) M PoBSshes; injured (Brock Takes Lead "YOUR DRUG STORE" In a Hurry?

Out of suit, performing duties in dummy scrimmages, were Edsel Wlbbels, Wolbaeh soph, with a slightly turned ankle; Bill Callt han, still bothered with a muscle bruise. Dodd, senior halfback, wair in the infirmary with an infected Instep, not reported as serious, however. Charlie Brock, burly center, re ported back in suit and took part in active scrimmage and defense practice, intercepting several frosh passes and playing hangup ball. Halfback Worrall, ildget who has been hobbled by an ankle injury since last week, reported in suit, but did not participate In active scrimmage. Cather Looks Good. First part of the session was devoted to passing, punting and fundamental drill. Then the Biffer split the squad into two units of two teams each, sending one to one end of the field to scrlmmnge freshman teams, running Minne sota plays. The two teams at the other end of the field spent their time running Nebraska plays juier frosh defenders. Looking his best so far, little Bud Cather, 1.15 pound Lincoln halfback, caught several nice passes from the arm ot George Porter. Thurston Phelps, apparently back in condition after a siege with a lame shoulder, was shooting rifle passes to ends and backs. i Lineups yesterday were as fol lows: Hrt String Second Strii.f flrlmni If fffim,i Mill It C.ofto5kl f'lnfr Ie..
