Baseball Session
Varsity baseball practice will
get under way next Monday, ac
cording to an announcement by
Coach Wilbur Knight. To last thru
October, the practice sessions will
be held only on good days and are
intended to help in building the
team for next spring.
Inasmuch as the list of letter
men returning is short this year,
Coach Knight expects the fall
practice to be of special benefit
for the new men who will be used
to fill the numerous vacancies left
by graduating seniors. Lettermen
returning inrlude Dening and
Schmadeke. pitchers, Harris and
Wilson, infielders, and McDermott,
outfield.
I Since the new diamond on the
athletic fields west of the coliseum
will not be ready for use this fall,
j it will be necessary to hold prac-
j tice on the ag college diamond.
Men not participating in other ac
tivities at this time are urged to
come out, since much good can be
accomplished during the several
weeks of warm weather left.
Altho next spring's schedule is
not yet complete, Coach Knight
stated that he anticipates a trip
west during spring vacaion in
addition to the usual conference
schedule.

Ag Campus Structure
Holds Telescope
Camera
The university's new observa
tory, which was constructed on
the ag campus two years ago, will
be open for public inspection with
in the next few weeks. Since its
completion, the small, egg shaped
structure has been in almost con
stant use day and night as students
and astronomers have been con
ducting research and taking pic
tures of the celestial bodies with
the aid of a new telescope-camera
purchased by the university a year
ago.
Prof. C. C. Collins, university
astronomer, who has just recently
returned from the Yerkes observa
tory, announced Wednesday that
he will ho)d "open house" occa
sionally for persons not connected
with the institution, but who are
interested in studying the heav
ens thru the new reflector-type in
strument. Those persons desiring
to visit the observatory are asked
not to call but to send in their

Changing weather conditions
make it impossible to set the dates
for public inspection, but by hav
ing the telephone numbers of the
persons interested in" amateur
astronomy, Professor Collins will
be able to notify these individuals
on short notice, thus assuring them
ideal conditions and at the same
time making it more convenient
for officials to adjust the regular
research schedules with the public
programs. This method will also
tend to reduce congestion in the
building, as it has very little floor
space.
Professor Collins, who returned
to the university a year ago, has
spent considerable time improving
the observatory and the efficiency
of its equipment .besides taking
many pictures of the Pleidades, as
he is interested in the varying
color of the stars. Inasmuch as the
new observatory, located just east
of the Plant Industry building is
lacking in heating facilities, visi
tors are warned in advance to
dress accordingly.

uses them for building ideas for
creation according to the stimulus
of the mind. It seems that the
mind itself is the real builder."
For an example: In the Broca's
Convalution is stored several little
capsules each containing all the
words of a separate language.
These little capsules are each about
the size of a grain of wheat.

the opinion of that much quoted

Due to the warm weather, flies

Francis Wallace in his annual
look at the football prospects thni-
out tne nation has nominated
Charley Brock as the to-be num
ber one center in the country this
year. His closest rival should be
Kl Aldrich. Texas Christian's cen
ter. The Texan has a veteran line
around him, and may have an
easier time looking good on the
field, but Charley has attracted
probably more fame nationally, be
cause of his stellar performances
against rut and Minnesota, and if
he can keep them up, he should be
a cinch, which recalls that the
193f line on which Cha' ley starred
as a raw sophomore wasn't as
good as the 1937 line either, but
Brock, with his two years of ex
perience should hold the 1938 boys
together if nothing else can.
Aldrich was the victi m nf an un
fortunate prank last spring, when
uunng an inter-class fight, some
very playful soul threw firo ev.
tinguisher fluid into his eyes. Al
tho he has recovered now, the ac
cident caused great concern on the
Frog campus, and Ki lost out on
some schoolintr as a result nf tho
Injury, but is in good scholastic
sianaing now.
We'd like to see Charley hp a

all this talk doesn't put the jinx
on him), not only because he's a
