Ilarle acting in the capacity of receiver, Underwood at his old position on first, Jamison, second, Haskell third and Flory shortstop In the outer gardens it Js likely that Captain Towle, Ernie Frank and Art May will assume their regular positions. The strength of the Kansas team is not an unknown quantity for they as well as Nebraska broke even with the Kansas Aggies in a two game series. They have played several games with Missouri, Washington, Baker and in almost every instance .have they come out victorious. The Nebraska team is indeed much stronger than most of the people about school have realized. They have met and vanquished the state college with little trouble. The batting ,of the team is better" than most learns afford. The fielding is fast and classy. The nine men work to gether as one and have that pep and ginger which is really essential to a good ball team. Captain Towle has his men going good now and it is up to the students to come out and see Nebraska vanquish the old time rivals from the south.
