THE LINEUP
By CHARLES KLASEK
It is truly amazing the rapidity with which the game of
baseball captures the hearts of the people of America. From
the dirtiest sandlois to the most elaborate major league ball
parks, from Tobias Nebraska, to New York City, millions of
fans thrill to the crack of a bat, a great fielding play, or a strike
out, regardless whether their favorite team vans, loses, or
draws. The reason? We car. only explain it by saying, it's the
magic of the game.
Here in Nebraska we have some of the fastest and most
outstanding amateur and semi-pro baseball teams in the "coun
try. It's interesting to thumb through the rosters of the squads
and find the names of men who played for Tcny Sharpe's Corn
husker diamond squad this spring. Tony, himself, is playing for
Seward in the Cornhusker Night League this summer.
Murry Backhaus is catching for North Platte in the Ne
braska Independent League and Jim Cederdahl is behind the
plate for Stromsburg in the Cornhusker Night loop. Of the
varsity's infielders, Bob Decker has Teturned to Carrol, Iowa,
for another summer in the Iowa State League; Dick Christoph
has been playing second base for McCook in the NIL; Fred
Seger is with Lexington in the NIL; Al Karle is at shortstop for
Kearney: Bob Reynolds is playing the keystone spot for Holdrege
m the same league; and Bill Giles has gone to Hannibal, Mis
souri to do his diamond work.
Jerry Dunn, this year't leading Husker stickman, is at North
Platte; Milt Frei has joined Fremont in the Pioneer Nite League;
and Ed Berg is -with Kearney. All of Nebraska's top hurlers
have joined teams in either the Pioneer or Nebraska Inde
pendent loops. Fran Hoffmeier is fogging them in lor Kearney,
Ray Novak is at Lexington, Pat Mallatte is with Columbus, and
Charlie Wright is pitching for Holdrege.
In audition to those players already listed, countless other
University of Nebraska students who were on Sharpe's varsity
squad or on Ed Berg's B team are playing for teams throughout
the state. Almost any team in the state of Nebraska can boart 1
of the name of a University student listed on their Tosters. It's
these fellas along with the many eager young hometown boys
and veterans that make Nebraska one of the great baseball
states in the U.S.

Is Cheating At Exams Ever Justified?
Do you feel that cheating is ever
justified? Two hundred ninety
three women students out of 400
polled at the University of Okla
homa answered "yes" to that ques
tion. Their feeling was that cheating
was justified when done in self
defense, that is, when others were
cheating also. Other excuses sug
gested: If the course is required
and 01 no interest to the eTuaem;
if the university continues to place
great emphasis on grades; if the
tests are unfaar.
Suggestions given to ovoid
cheating: That the teachers use
alternate tests, that the "curve"
system of grading be scrapped in
favor of individual achievement,
that different class sections take
different quizzes and that more
tests be given bo as to minimize
the importance of finals.
The moral: Think up a good ex
cuse next time you cheat.
