SATURDAY
Students Begin To
Final Exams As
Well, everybody, school is almost
over. Ain't it simply grand to think
that vacation is going to start pret
ty soon? It hasn't been Pitch a bad
year after all, has it? One doesn't
begin to really appreciate school until
it is nearly over. Think, too, exams
are coming, but still it doesn't make
any student particularly shiver for
fright, does it? Oh they all say that
it does. Have you ever known' a stu
dent that did not say, "Heavens, ex
ams are coming and I'm simply
scared to death?" Now really and
truly they aren't frightened at all.
That phrase is merely a habit, not a
necessity.
Every one thinks with dread at the
results of the examinations, espec
ially if they are bound to be rather
unsatisfactory, but they do not shud
der, specifically, at the examination
piorer. Do they now?
Have you noticed any rale, wan,
frightened faces around the campus?
The time, you know, is drawing near

AMATEUR STANDING
NEVER JEOPARDIZED
"Rudy" Ziegenbein, Husker pitcher,
is eligible for university athletics and
always has been. This was the gist of
a statement given to the press Mon
day morning by Coach Dawson, fol
lowing an investigation of the report
that Ziegenbein had signed for profes
sional baseball this summer. The
Coach Dawson said:
"The committee on eligibility at the
University of Nebraska, after examin
ing the case of iZegenbein and con
ferring with other members of the
Missouri Valley; Conference, finds that
Zlegenbein's amateur standing has
not been impaired. The question
came up as to whether or not con
tracting for future service would pro
fessionalize an athlete. The present
consensus of opinion in the Missouri
Valley conference is that such con
tracting, provided no money is re
ceived by the athlete in anticipation
of his professional services, does not
affect the amateur standing of the
athlete."
The investigation grew out of a
rumor arising some two weeks tgo
that iZegenbein had been approached
by Harry Smith, manager of the state
league baseball team at Hastings, and
practically signed for the season's
worn. Ziegenbein has consistently de
clined to discuss the rumor. Appar
ent strength was given it by the ap
pearance in the latest bulletin of the
national baseball commission of the
name "Zeergenbeln" in the Hastings
club. The affair has been the occa
sion for a lively exchange of person
alities in the press of the state. The
decision of the eligibility committee
means tat "Rudy" may safely sign
with Hastings so long as no money
changes hands on the deal.
Edgar H. Landgren, C. E., 22, has
written to Dean Ferguson that be bas
accepted a position with the Concrete
Engineering Company, Omaha.
Worry About
Time Draws Near
and if ever there are going to be any
they ought to start right away. It, on
the other hand seems as if the stu
dents are brighter and happier than
they have been all year. So many
fine things are happening ami there
are so many wonderful things to look
forward to, the Cornhusker for in
stance, the delightful summer vaca
tion, n everything. How could any
one "hang a sorrowful head" when
ther is so much in store for them?
Every one is studying twice as
hard, of course, but what is a little
hard work, this kind of weather. It's
only fun, nothin' else.
""Ms is only the correct view poir
not actually the case, in regards to
the -taiement about studyin.?. Tlv?
thing to do is try to make studying be
as it has been idealized then the at
t'tucle towards exams will he "ties
bien," with apologies to the French
department. .That is the only way to
feel, as long as it lias to be done.
Don't you agree? rieasc try to.

LAST INNING UNLUCKY
FOR CORNHUSKER SQUAD
Ziegenbein Allows Five Safeties
in First Extra Chapter
Another Game Today
Nicking "Rudy" Zigenbein's offer
ings for live safeties in the first ex
tra chapter, Washington University,
St. Louis, chased across four scores,
thereby breaking a deadlock and win
ning the first of the two-game series
here Monday, S to 4. The game was
played at Rock Island park.
Nebiaska got away to an early lead
when Fries, a port sider, who started
for the visitors, hit Andersen and
Thomsen ran Magnolo into the fence
trying to catch his long fly. The cen
ter gardener upset and before he
could recover Thomsen made the en
tire circuit, preceded by Anderson.,
Washington started heating the
water for Fries' shower and when
Smaha, first man to face him in the
second, slapped a double to left, he
was given the grand hailing sign and
Trautwcin took over the responsi
bility.
Washington drew blood in the
fourth when Edgar, shortstop, got his
name in the summary by smacking
one to deep center good for three
bags. He scored on Wyman's sacri
fice fly.
Captain McCrory drew a pass in the
Huskers' half of the sixth, advanced
when Linnemeyer kicked Thomsen's
grounder and both scored on Carr's
grounder which bounced ten feet over
Edgar's head.
Ziegenbein hit Magnolo in the sixth
who advanced on Linnemeyer's sacri
fice and crossed when Edgar got more
publicity by rapping a double to left.
The visitors tied the count in hte
seventh with a walk, Shanley's single,
Thompson's secril'ice fly and Wy til
er's error in right.
The visitors' icing process started
in the tenth with Finn's double, fol
lowed by singles from the willows of
Magnolo and Linnemeyer. Edgar
helped his average again with a dou
ble and Pierce scored Linnemeyer and
Edgar with a single. The Husker3
were unable to help.
It was anybody's ball game at the
opening of the tenth. Both aggrega
tions had been having trouble bunch
ing ih ir hits and both pitchers
seemed to have the situation well in
hand.
The two teams meet again Tuesday
at 4 p. m. at Rock Island park. Mun
gi r will start on the mound for the
Huskers and Conch Davis may give
Flies another opportunity.
The Husker infield was shifted with
"Baiity" Anderson and Thomsen trad
ing places, Anderson going to first
and Thomsen behind the bat.
