VALLEY GAMES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Army Call Hurts Nebraska Chances Rutherford Looks for Wins If "Old Sol" can be persuaded to show his smiling face during the next few days, the baseball fans of the University will have a chance to see their team in action Friday and Sat urday afternoons when the Cornhusk er8 are scheduled to meet the Ames "Aggies" in a pair of games on Ne braska field. Dry weather today and tomorrow will leave the field in fine shape and should produce some real "big league" baseball. The game Friday will be the sec ond Missouri Valley game of the season, and the first game between the two schools for several years. The team is not in exceptional shape because of the poor weather of the last two weeks and may be weakened by the loss of several of the regulars who have been accepted at Fort Snelling. Coach Rutherford is confident that the men will give a good account of themselves and if favored in the breaks of the game should be returned the victors. John Pickett will probably be picked to start the first game. Pickett should be in fair shape, which means that the Hawkeye "Aggies" will have a hard time collecting the runs. Rid dell, Mackey and Berquist will be the candidates for the hurling job in the second game. FORFEIT CORNHUSKER UNLESS BALANCE PAID The Cornhusker management has called the attention of students who are leaving school because of the war emergency that the first payment of $1.50 is forfeited unless the balance is paid within a week after the book is issued. The announcement was made some time ago that those who leave their address and the balance of the money due at the student ac tivities office before their departure, will receive the book by mail.

(Continued to Page Two) VARSITY TRACK MEN TO MEETJIVE TEAMS WESLEYAN, COTNER AND DOANE COMPETE WITH 3 HVJSKER TEAMS Freshmen and AJumnl to Take Part Regulars in Good Shape and Expect to Win The varsity track team will be hosts to five other teams at a track meet on Nebraska field next Saturday aft ernoon when the men making up the varsity will compete with teams rep resenting Wesleyan, Cotner, Doane, the alumni and the freshmen. There is sure to be some real com petition in the meet and especially in the sprints in which both Doane and Wesleyan will have men who hold some fine records. It Is not possible to say who the alumni entries will be as yet, but it is probable that Guy Reed, Otto Zum wlnkle and Herb Reese, all former sprinters, will take part in the hun dred and two-twenty yard races. The team as a whole is in good condition and with the track in any sort of shape will do some fine work Saturday. Owen, Werner, Finney and Overman will be looked upon as sure winners in their races while Graf and Grau should win first . if they run true to form. Reese in the weights is increasing his distances at every workout and should win the shot and discus without much trou ble. If pole vaulters are as scarce in the other schools of the state as they are here the freshmen will have an easy time winning both first and second in this event.
