keeper of the bar. has ordered several
eitra cases and promises to provide

HUSKER TOSSERS
RESUME PRACTICE
Diamond Artists Back on Field
After Weeks' Vacation.
Wesleyan Opens Season April
16-17 New Uniforms
Are Here.
After a week's vacation the Corn
husker ball tossers vill be back on
the diamond this afternoon equipped
with brand new uniforms. No prac
tice has been held during the spring
vacation and weather condlt'ons made
outside work impractical yesterday.
It is thought that the diamond will
be in condition for use by this after
noon, however, and the work will
once more begin in earnest. Coach
Schissler has returned from a few
days' sojourn In Hastings and says
that from now on every minute will
be devoted to hard work '. order to
whip the squad into shape for the
opening games.
The season formally opens on April
16 and 17 when the Huskers clash
with the Wesleyan Coyote? at the M
street park. The Methodists have an
excellent ball team this ye.T and the
Initial contests will no doubt give the
Huskers a real test. The following
week Schissler's art'.sts invade Okla
homa for two games with Oklahoma
University at Norman and two with
Oklahoma A. & M. School at Still
water. Negotiations are now undev
way for another trip, this time a
northern invasion. If the plans ma
terialize the Husker9 will play Morn
ingside at Sioux City on May 5 and
the South Dakota aggregation at Ver
milion on May 6 and 7.
The new uniforms which arrived
yesterday are the latest word in base
ball equipment. The 1920 Cornhusker
ball team will wear maroon Jerseys,
on which is emblazoned a white "Ne
braska," trousers of the fame color
with white stripes on the seams, and
white stockings and red caps with a
white "N." These uniforms will be
worn at practice by tin Varsity
players.

Only seventy-five tickets have been

urday afternoon, April 10, at the Wo
man's Building. The dance will be
