i u Aiiii n ii u iv n o n. a 11 EET CORNHUSKERS HERE TODAY itCAGGIES M KAIISAS SQUAD OUT FOR BLOOD First of Two-game Series with Wildcats Starts This After noon at 4 O'clock at Rock Island Park. GREER AND LANG PITCH Pitchers' Battle Expected When Two of Valley's Best Hurlers Face Each Other To day. Smarting from the effects of a pair of defeats handed them in their own backyard by the Huskers, the Kansas Aggie baseball squad comes to Lincoln for a two game series be ginning this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Rock Island park. Greer, rated as one of the best pitchers in the Valley, will oppose the veteran Jack Lang in what promises to be one of the best battles of the season. The Huskers fell on Greer at Manhattan and he left the game under the barrage of hits from the Nebraska batsmen, but he is entering the game tomorrow with the inten tion of avenging his previous rough handling. Conroy, another hurling ace, will probably work in the second game. Coach Kline has been putting the Huskers through some stiff workouts in an attempt to strengthen their bat ting and base-running, and the team is in f irstclass shape. The Aggies have developed consid erably since their trouncing at the hands of the Nebraska nine, and gave the Oklahoma Sooners some stiff opposition the last week, the first game going to Oklahoma 1 to 0. The present series winds up the home season for Nebraska unless ex tra games can be scheduled. The Huskers leave Thursday for Ames for a series with Iowa State. A' large crowd is expected for the games with the Aggies which begin at 4 o'clock sharp at the Rock Island park.
