TO MEET. AGGIES
Team Will Appear in Its First
Home Game of the
Season.
ROCK ISLAND PARK TO
BE SCENE OF FRAY
Nebraskas baseball team .after four
weeks of intensive practice since their
last game, meets the Kansas Aggie
team, in the first home game of the
season, at Rock Island park at 4
o'clock this afternoon. The second
game of the series will be played on
the Agriculture college diamond at
1 o'clock tomorrow as part of the
Farmers fair festivities.
Siir e the trip south during spring
vacation Coach Kline has shifted his
line-up and thinks that he now has
a winning combination. Lewellen will
probably draw the pitching assign
ment in the opening game and Lang
will be on the receiving end for the
Huskers. Janda, who was spiked in
a practice game during the first part
of the week, vAl perhaps be able to
take his place at second. It was fear
ed for a time that the wound had be
come infected and this would have
kept him out of the game for some
time.
Following is the probable Husker
line-up given in the batting order:
Janda 2b, Volti lb, Locke rf, Blood
good cf, Collins If, Gibbs 3b, Bell
ss, Land c, and Lewellen p.
It is possible that Eckstrom, who
has been playing first, may start in
the center garden instead of Locke.
The plan of having a parade from
the campus to Rock Island park has
been given up. Chancellor Avery will
pitch the first ball of the game and
Dean Engberg will attempt to catch
it
The Aggie team, fresh from a vic
tory over K. U., will arrive on the
Union Pacific this morning. Cunning
ham, star hurler for the Manhattan
nine, held the Kansas team to five
hits during the game last week. It
is possible that he may go on the
mound for the Aggies.
The Rock Island diamond will be in
fine shape for a fast game. It has
been filled in and regraded. The ad
mission for the game will be fifty
cents or by student athletic ticket.

Discussions.
(Special to the Nebraskan.)
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 1 The
midwest student conference conven
ed today at the University of Ten
nessee with fifty-six voting delegates
representing the ' entire Mississippi
valley. Clifford M. Hicks, who re
presents Nebraska frith Harold
Schaaf, was made a member of the
nominating committee.
The morning session was given
over to the welcoming address by
Dr. Morgan, president of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, who stressed
the particular importance of such
student conferences.
Discussion of student publications
took up the afternoon session. All
the methods of control, policy, and
financial matters were taken up in
open forum. Much of the discussion
was directed toward the limitation of
editorial opinion by faculty pressure.
Student government problems will
be discussed in the session tomorrow.
This group of campus problems is to
be given the greatest consideration
in the conference.
1 T)mT-
CHANCELLOR'S STATEMENT.
The federal act establishing
the R. O. T. C. in the universi
ties and colleges of the coun
try wa a great educational
measure. Before its enactment
military training had been more
in accordance with the idea of
conscription prevalent in Eur
opean countries, the training of
young men in the elements of
soldiery.
The work carried on under
the present law makes military
training given, especially in the
senior division, highly education
al. Further, the measure is ad
mirably adapted to give a type
of training that will tend to
preserve the peace of the coun
try. The presence of a large
body of civilian reserve officers
devoted to peace bat able to de
fend our country and our insti
tutions means security without
militarism.
The peace of the world de
pends largely on America's at
titude toward war. The reserve
officer trained in the R. O. T.
C units is willing to make any
sacrifice for defense, but has no
sympathy for imperialistic ad
ventures and no desire for mili
tary glory. An adequate supply
of reserve officers makes the
presence of a large standing
army unnecessary, thus doing
away with suspicion and rivalry,
the fruitful causes of past wars.

Glade Says Army
R. O. 71 C.
"Veterans of the world war will
soon cease to exist as a military re
serve on which the United States can
call in case of emergency, and the
Reserve Officers Training Corps at
the various universities and colleges
of the country will be, more and
more, the main source from which the
organized reserve officers of the
United States army will be drawn,"
said Colonel Herman Glade, head of
the war department "Blue Star" in
spection board that arrived in Lin
coln last night for the second inspec
tion of the Nebraska unit.
Last year 3,308 commissions in the
reserve were given to R. O. T. C.
graduates, Colonel Glade said, and
in addition about 600 certificates
were issued to students that were
below twenty-one years of age. In
the future the R. O. T. C. will fur-
ni-h between six and wven thousand
reserve officers annually. This is

ALL CADETS EXCUSED

All
students taking military sci
ence are excused from classes this
afternoon for the war department
"Blue Star" inspection. First call
for cadets will be sounded at 12:45.
Companies will form at 1 o'clock.
The war department inspection
board, consisting of Colonel Herman
Glade of the general staff, and Major
Walton Goodwin of the cavalry, ac
companied by Major Peyton, R. O.
T. C. officer in the seventh corps,
arrived in Lincoln last night at 8:00
for Nebraska's second "Blue Star"
inspection today and tomorrow.
While in Lincoln the officers will be
guests of Major and Mrs. Sidney
Erickson.
The board -examining the Nebras
ka corps for distinguished rating to
day is one of three that is inspect
ing sixty-one R.O.T.C. units of high
rank in the country. The inspecting
officers come to Nebraska from Man
hattan, Kan., where they have com
pleted a two day inspection of the
Kansas State Agricultural college
unit.
The Nebraska R.O.T.C. unit is the
largest infantry unit of R.O.T.C. that
the inspecting officers have visited
so far this year, Colonel Glade said
last night on his arrival.
Scabbard and Blade Initiates Peyton
The first thine on the insrectine
officers program last evening was
the Scabbard and Blade initiation at
the Agricultural college, when Majxr
Peyton was initiated as an associate
member of the- Nebraska chapter of
the honorary military society. Col
onel Glade and Major Goodwin wit
nessed the initiation. They are mem
bers of the society.
The "Blue Star" inspection will
start this morning at 9 o'clock with
an -examination of the theory section
of the advanced course cadets. In
the later part of the forenoon the
storeroom and class room facilities
of the local corps will be inspected
by the officers. A luncheon will be
held in their honor at noon by the
Scabbard and Blade chapter.
The feature of the program
this afternoon will be the inspection
of the entire regiment on the parade
grounds. There will be a parade and
review in honor of the officers, and
the inspection and examination of
the cadets will follow. Each of the
officers, will inspect one of the bat
talions, and half of the third.
The inspection will consist of a
personal inspection of the cadets in
the ranks, equipment, uniform, and
military knowledge. Companies will
execute such drills and exercises as
the reviewing officers may order.
The three inspection boards will
meet in Washington about May 24
after the completion of their inspec
tions and the findings of the boards
willbe announced some time in the
early part of June, according to Col
onel Glade, head of the board that is
inspecting the Nebraska unit.
OHIO Seniors specializing in fin
ance are receiving practical experi
ence through the cooperation of sev
eral banks. Sixteen students are
working in shifts of four, each day.
Must Depend on
for Reserve Officers
the number thatwill be needed each
year to keep the United States re
serve up to the required mobiliza
tion strength.
The universities and colleges at
which the R.O.T.C. units are estab
lished are supporting the system in
whole-hearted fashion and the co-operation
between the military depart
ments and the university is excellent
everywhere, the colonel said. Many
college presidents have remarked that
the JLO.T.C. helps their institutions
because it teaches discipline. The
military department, they say, gives
them the least trouble of any.
The Nebraska unit is the largest
infantry unit of the R. O. T. C. that'
the board beaded by Colonel Glade
has inspected this year, the colonel
said last night on his arrival. Many
of the other units have a larger num
ber of cadets but they are divided in
to different branches of the service.
