'Play-As-Y oii-Go Plan . . .
Of the fifteen University of N'eliniskii tiiicknicii Ivl Weir
will load into Aiiics-ImhiikI vcliirlcs at noon today, perhaps five
are in the physical shape that early May warrants.
A barrage of wartime problems, ranging from ROTC ac
tivation to oversize classroom routines, have confronted Prof.
Weir this term. War tension has found a number ,of would-be
cinder aspirants spending square time sipping cokes, gossiping,
or doing their damdest to continue the Beardsley Ruml "play-as-you-go"
plan.
Only such faithfuls as the Kratz brothers. Howie Debus, or
Vie Scliloich show the tedious respect for daily workouts thai
tinged the Ivcd l.ittlers, Harold hints, or Hobby (linns. Daily
activity on the Memorial Stadium cinders a year back was a
different tale.
Red would be pacing the track, jogging then blasting full
speed. Little Bobby Ginn left his job in the library daily at
3 p. m. for an extended drill. Hurdlers Ralph King and Bill
Smutx were always measuring their strides. Slick soph middle
distance men, Al Brown and. Bill Connor, paced each other else
where on the cinders.

hurdler and H.! high-atick performer, indicates that Shy may
not be used for timber-topping duly.

Gopher Nine
Tops lowan
Outfit, 5-2
Minneapolis', Minn., April 29
Minnesota hitters came into their
own again yeaterday to make a
clean sweep of the Iowa baseball
series, winning 5-2 behind the ex
cellent pitching of veteran Norm
Gallup. This win knocked the
Iowa team down to an even .500
mark with four wins and four
losses. Minnesota came up to the
same position with two and two.
The Gophers pulled the same
trick as they did Monday by
knocking the Iowa pitcner oui on
ihf hnx in the latter part of the
game with a barrage of hits and
runs.
This time it was Herb Hein that
pulled a long one out of the bag
and poled a long triple out 10 me
foundation of Cooke Hall 425
feet from home plate. Jerry Ko
lander was the sparkplug Monday
with a homer.
Gallup pitched five-hit ball on
mound for the Gophers and
pounded out a double himself to
score Earl Bruhn with the first
Minnesota run of the game in
the fourth inning.
The Gophers scored again in
the fifth on a hit by Howie Schutz
who was advanced to second on a
bunt by Bob Johnson and driven
home by Hein's single.
