Ii I Chru A I Petersen mmi j There trill be another time That the Nebraska baseball nine probably met their toughest com petition of the season in their two opening games pops to the top again when records show the mountain boys scoring 63 runs in four tilts. The Nebraska nine gave them the lion's share of this total in the two lopsided contests on the 11th and 12th of this month. Incident ally, the papers in that part of the country, including the Denver Post, didn't think much of the two game series. Tto quote after one In case there are any complications arising from the score, the com petition between Nebraska and Colorado U. this week end was a baseball game, not a track meet." We, ourselves, just don't know what the men from the rough ter rain expected, but offhand we can think of one contest that might even surpass the diamond slaugh ter to the extent that those sincere could call it a track meet. If those lads were to bring their football team here well, in speculation of said supposition, we have taken an option on an adding machine so that Husker scores could be kept. After all, it's not just night for the scribes on those respective papers to think that our school should be able to send them a bunch of big league understudies every year to play with. Maybe, too, the thing would have been a little more even had the games been played after the Huskers' bunch of rookies had worked to gether a couple of games before they met the Big Seven cham pions. Of Boh Ginn . . . Stealing the spotlight from Ne braska's Red Demon, Gene Lit tler, is one Robin Ginn ,a lad who can cover the mile with enough ppeed to give him a rating of No. 1 in that event so far as the col legiate mile is concerned. His clocking is 4:10.1, which is fast enough that he should never be late for classes. This ppeed reminds us of a story which is often passed around in sporting circles about the great Glen Cun ningham. A native in his Kansas home town is reputed to have once aid, "Why that boy is so fast that when I used to take him rabbit hunting, he'd run along side the A- Show stealer of the aggrega tion of Husker coaches that made a touring tour of the state last week was John K. Selleck, busi ness manager of university athlet ics, with his quotations from let ters concerning seats at football games. Selleck drew much applause with these: 1 "My seat is No. 18, row five, section F. Please have the nail removed from It." 2 "I would like two tickets for the Missouri game. I would like them on the side as close as pos sible to the 50-yard line and about half way up. If these are not avail able, the first row of the balcony would be alright. If you think it will rain, please put them under the balcony." 3 "Would it be possible for me to sit with "Link" Lyman on the bench. Not only could some one else have my seat behind the goal posts, but I could give Lyman some pointers." rabbit and feel him to see if he was fat before we shot him." We can't see Ginn making his best time in cornfield or bramble patch in competition with a rab bit, but we look for him to be one of the nation's top mile men if he goes into exhibition work this summer. To climax the whole af fair, the boy is only a sophomore, a fact that leaves the Big Six rec ords shuddering in their shoes. His time is mighty nice when you com pare it with the best that was reg istered by top flight man, John Munski, in conference runs. Mun ski was able to table a 4:20.8 for that distance in 1939. Judges announced in contest find song for Lincoln Dr. Arthur Westbrook, director of the school of fine arts of the university, Mrs. Helen Gribble of the Lincoln schools and J . E. Latsch were announced Monday evening as judges for the Lincoln song contest of which the wom en's division of the chamber of commerce and The Lincoln News papers are co-sponsors.

TYPEWRITER CO. 130 H. 12th t-t1t7 Drake relays Saturday call Husker trackmen Returning from a drubbing at the hands f one of the nation's top flight track and field squads, the California U Bruins, the Husker trackmen will spend this week preparing for competition in the 32nd annual Drake relays at Des Moines this Friday and Saturday. One of the outstanding college track events of the year, the Drake relays features competition of track teams from all over the country and the presentation of a beauty queen selected from colleges and uni versities from coast to coast. Coach Ed Weir returned with his Husker trackmen from the coast last night and the Nebraska coach plans to leave with a 15 man squad for the Iowa capital city Friday morning. Basking in the limelight at the Des Moines competition will be little Bob Ginn, who gained national prominence Saturday against the California Bears with his 4 minutes 10.1 seconds performance in the mile. Nebraska's individual performers should nake fine showings at Drake but the squad probably lacks the superiority in numbers to rank in the team placings. No bull-there ain't no hull! Kosmet Klub is presenting a play called "Torso del Torro" meaning body of the bull tonight, but will there be a bull that is a real bull? One of the "Torros" from ag campus was selected for the part of the bull, and was first scheduled to make its appearance in a pub licity stunt yesterday morning. Leo Cooksley, president of Kosmet Klub, had made final arrange ments for bringing the bull down to the campus. A toreadore was hired (anyway a Kosmet Klub worker was dressed up) to hold the bull's fancy. Even a repier was secured to keep him under control. At 10 o'clock Kosmet Klub work ers assembled to await the arrival of the bull. But it didn't arrive. So Cooksley went out to ag campus to see what had happened. The bull, it seems, went the way of 'most all good little bulls. It was purchased by a speculator. Will there be a bull tonight? It all depends, say the sponsors, on the speculators. If we don't have a real bull it looks like fellows in costume will have to do.
