more homogeneous, n,s far as play

the field when spring games roll
around.
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

Injury-Riddled Team

Only one more practice left be
fore the Minnesota game, and Biff
Jones' proteges were sweating
hard, polishing their offensive and
defensive departments yesterday
afternoon, looking probably the
best they have looked so far in
practice.
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

holes before he tnkes the ball from

the fastest backs on the major's

his opponents.
Luther Is an even 6 feet tall, and
weighs 180 pounds. Born In 1018,
he Is now 20 years old. He has a
collar si.c of 15, (which fact must
be seriously noted because he is i
the D. U.'s "white collar man"i.!
Bob is certain to i one of the I
stablest men on the team thlsi

on the varsity. Luther said he
would be. grateful to the Biffer
even to go to Minnesota, been use 1

Seriously Bob is one of tht ma
