AT COMMENCEMENT TIME
The Nebraska Collpge of Agricul
turo, In a circular just published tin
der the title of "The Problem of
Clothes for the High School Grad
uato," raises its voice against ex
travagance and display at high school
commencements. The publication,
which is written by Margaret Grace
Morton of the homo economics do
partnit nt, outlines some ways where
by girls about to graduate from high
schools may be taught the value of
Pimplifity, daintiness and modesty,
and declares it is more becoming for
girls to respect the financial status of
their parents than to bedeck them
selves in elaborate creations of silk
and chiffon. The circular is an appeal
to parents and teachers. In part it

training. Wagers are not yet being
made on the pennant winners, for
each class has good material, and it
looks as though.it will bo tho same

May.
Enough girls are not taking adan
tage of the spring weather and spend
ing time in a little outdoor exercise
Don't be afair that you can't play well
enough como out and learn. All ways
imaginable from a golf stick to a pitch
fork grasp are used for holding the
bat, but as long as the obpect is to hit
the ball, who cares? There are enough
old timers on the job to teach the new
girls how to swing the bat and pitch
tho ball as well as how to slide on
third. This year's seniors were tho
winners of last year's Interclass games
but they have lost five of their ord
inal nine, including their whirlwind
pitcher. The Juniors have lost just
about as many of their team, but both
classes have new material to work
with and will make the fight just sa
interesting and the outcome as had to
guess.

Meet Jayhawks and
Kansas Farmers.
The first h practice of the
season Mas held yesterday after
noon at the State Farm campus
for the Cornlinsker ltascba.ll
squad. Coach Schissler has a

should have a fast team to repre
sent the Scarlet, and Cream
against Kansas and tho Kansas
Aggies who are the first teams on
the schedule.'
The diamond at the State Farm
campus is rapidly being put in shape
and will afford the Husker athletes
an ideal place for the national
pastime. The location of the Huskers'
new home will probably be the only
handicap to be encountered on ac
count of being so .far out.
Coach Schissler will face a stiff
schedule .minus a number of last
year's veterans. Pickett, Reynolds,
Russell, Swanson, Hubka and Linn
will be the old men lost from last
year's nine. Some of the veterans
and new men out who look good are
Munger, Schoeppel, Carman, Peter
son, Cerney, Captain Bekins, Bailey,
Kiser, nderson, Thomson, Crandall.
McCrory, Thompson, Wythers and
Peterson.
