Explosion rocks
hall; professors
claim exemption
Last week an explosion rocked
the Ag hall on ag campus. Origin
the outburst was very difficult
trace but the whole story finally
c
It was midmorning and the
building was very peaceful, with
everyone (it was thought) mind
ing his work. Suddenly a noise that
Bounded like a door being blown
off resounded through the entire
hall. Miss Noble, head librarian,
rushed out of the library to see
what had caused such a disturb
ance and found not even a clue.
Miss Schnurr, finance secretary,
thought first of a hold-up, but
there wasn't a gun in sight. Mr.
Marshall, exeutive clerk, was ter
ribly upset all the rest of the
morning by such an unprecedented
A
V
I happening.
Intellectual rascals.
But out in front of the hall you
could have found Dr. C. C. Wig
gans and Professor Abbott laugh
ing until they cried. Dr. Wiggins
disclaimed all responsibility be
cause all he did was light it. Prof
essor Abbott said he was just an
accessory to the crime because all
he did was furnish the match, and
both of them blamed the deed on
Jgrofessor R. T. Prescott. It seems
iJlat one of Mr. Prescott's small
I sons had a firecracker and gave it
! to his dad.
Mr. Prescott had no use for it so
he gave it to Miss Schnurr, who
gave it to Miss Wheeler, secretary
to the Dean. Miss Wheeler showed
it to Dr. Wiggans and Mr. Abbott,
j ' who happened to be in her office
i at the time. And that was all that
! was necessary. Mr. Prescott still
claims exemption on the grounds
! that he wasn't even on the scene of
the crime at the time it was com
mitted.
Graduate students
conduct psych clinic
Dr. Warren R. Bailer, Miss
Leona Failor, Marshall Hiskey of
Lincoln and Ellis Weitzman of
Omaha, graduate students in the

icted a- recent psychological

assisted by Miss Florence Beigh
ley, teacher in the Plattsmouth
schools, and Calvin Reed of Peru
State Teachers college, both of
whom are taking graduate work
.n the department.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon last night

tories, were Bob Evans over Bob
Nye, Bob Waugh over Walt Nye,

with no one winning by a too con
vincing margin.
The win kept the Sig Alphs in

Delta Upsilon had gone into the
finals by beating the Sigma Nu's,
while the Sig Alphs had beat the

By Don Pollock.
Warm weather greeted Coach
Wilbur Knight's Husker baseball
team, and so Knight put his boys
thru a hard workout and closed
the practice with a six and one
half Inning game. The Red Raiders
defeated the Blue Skyrockets 8 to
2, by putting on a scoring spree
in the sixth inning when they
tallied seven runs.
The Blue boys opened the scor
ing in the second inning when
Charlie Vacantl hit one over sec
ond. Dow Wilson, regular second
sacker through his glove, and hit
the ball. Vacantl automatically
took third and scored on Don Pol
lock's single.
Lloyd Hall of the regulars hit
a home run in the last of the third
and tied the score. Cliff Hurley,
right fielder for the Blues, hit a
triple scoring pitcher Harry Tru
srott. That was all the scoring
until the fatal sixth, then the
storm broke.
Homers Come.
Al Schmode, Red catcher, Oscar
Tegtmeier, pitcher for the regu
lars hit home runs in the big in
ning, when the boys teed off on
Pitcher Truscott for seven earned
runs.
None of the second varsity got
more than one hit. Dow Wilson
turned in the fielding gem of the
day when he raced to his right
and reached high to spear Frank
Gilmore's blow into center field.
