waging a vigorous campaign to link
the name of the University of Nebras
ka with the lame of Jonn J. Per

tic dinner in that city last week which
turned into a Pershing rally, according

having gathered one of the most com

Bids for Game from Western Pill-
Swatters Hastens Athletic
Plans.

For the past few years baseball has
i!ot been in vogue at Nebraska. Never
theless there have always been a few
who have strongly favored the ret irn
of the game and as present indications
point, baseball will again occupy a
prominent place in Nebraska athletics.
Provost Lees, who is at present Di
rector of Athletics, has sanctioned
varsity baseball, providing it does not
draw too heavily on the athletic treas
ury. Although the Provost has not
given his official consent, there is little
doubt but what he will in the near
future place the official stamp of ap
proval on varsity baseball.
The staging of a successful baseball
season will require a great deal of
work and a few of the most important
problems will be discussed at the
meeting of candidates slated for Wed

anxious to see a large number of men
