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

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.

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.
