ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
ALSO AFTER PICKETT
President Rickey Wires Husker
Pitcher and Requests
Terms at Once.
The services of Captain John
Pickett of the Husker baseball victors
are in demand by two big league
teams. The St. Louis Cardinals of
the National League are prepared to
bid against the Chicago White Sox in
the scramble for his work on the
mound.
Late last week Secretary Harry
Grabiner of the White Sox wired
Pickett and asked him if he could re
port at once, requesting him to name
the terms on which he would sign a
contract. Captain Tickett was not
sure he wanted to enter the profes
sional field and so he did not accept
the offer.
President Branch Rickey of the
Cardinals sent a message to rickett
yesterday urging the pitcher to sign
up with the National league team. It
would seem, however, that President
Rickey only wasted money in wiring
Nebraska's captain, because Pickett

STATION A SAFE YIELDS
TO FINGERS OF EXPERTS
At six o'clock Monday evening,
after three days work by sale experts,
the Station A postoffice safe at last
yielded to their efforts. After all the
work of the experts failed, six men
under the direction of Mr. Ward pried
the safe lock open with a piece of
shafting after three hour's work.
The opening of the safe ended the
period of confusion which had been
manifested in the University postoffice
since the peculiar accident happened.

Yenne.

players from the ranks of the con
victs, known as the Lancaster Dra
matic Club, and four members of the
University Flayers Company, includ
ing Leone Mills and Florence Maryott.
Large posters on the campus ask
the impertinent question, "Why bother
about Carranza? He's dead," and
then below tell of tho production that
will furnish as much amusement as a
wild goose chase through Mexico.
The play will be under the super
vision and direction of Herbert Yenne.
The four members of the University
Players who have been assisting with
the work have spared no work to
make the production a complete
success.

ing the convicts in their lines, said
that he has never experienced more
willing workers. They are quick to
grasp suggestions, and quick to fol

HUSKEdS TO FACE
KEEN CONTENDERS
Nebraska Ready for Missouri
Valley Meet at Ames Friday
and Saturday.
Scholz of Southeast Neighbor
State Holds Record of 9 A
in Hundred.
Nebraska will meet with some keen
competition at the Missouri Valley
meet in Ames on Friday and Saturday
of this week. A comparison has been
made between the time made by the
various schools and that made at Ne
braska and the Husker entrants must
be in the best of condition in order
to place in this meet
The Huskers will leave tomorrow
for the Missouri Valley so as to be on
hand in case the preliminaries are
run on Friday. All men who have
made good time and show signs of
winr-ing points will be taken to this
meet and only those men who make
second or better in this meet will be
entered in the Western Conference
meet at Ann Arbor the following,
week.
With the exception of "Squirt"
Owens, the team is in the best of
condition. "Squirt" has been doctor
ing a bad ankle for the last few weeks
and will enter the meet at Ames with
a couple of "pulled" muscles.
Valley Records Good
Scholz, of Missouri, holds a record
in the hundred with the time of 9:4
while the best time at Nebraska is
held by Deering with 10:02.
Gibbs has made the 220 In 22 3-5
and the 440 in 51 3-5 but he has to
compete with Wollers of Ames in the
440 with the time of 50 2-5 and Scholz
in the 220 with 22 flat Finney and
Wright rank with the leading hurdlers
with the time of 15 3-5 in the high
hurdles and 26 flat in the lows. Wat
son of the Kansas Aggies has a i.
better record than Graff in the two
mile run, and Nebraska's best, time
in the mile held by Dorn at 4:38 is
outdone by Watson with 4:23 2-5.
Dale, Carson. Gish and Garhart are
pretty evenly balanced with the lead
ers of the Missouri Valley in the field
events and should tally their ;hare of
points.
PSYCHOLOGY TEST FOR
ENGINEERING FRESHMEN
First-Year Men Will be Examined
Saturday Morning in Chem
istry Hall.
The following notice has been issued
to all Engineering Freshmen from O.
J. Ferguson, acting dean of the Col
lege of Engineering:
"A psychological examination,
consisting of a regular army
test, will be given to all En
gineering Freshmen Saturday
morning, May 29, at nine o'clock,
in the large lecture room in
Chemistry Hall.
"This test requires fifty min
utes of careful, quick work.
Provide yourselves with two
sharp lead pencils."
This test, under the auspices of the
Engineering College, is a continuation
of the practice begun last year. It is
hoped that such examinations will be
held each year in order that their
possibilities may be studied. These
psycological tests help the executives
in that college to evaluate men and
place them to their best advantage in
their course in school and in their
subsequent work.
