Rent A Typewriter For Your Term Paper Nebraska Typewriter Co. 130 No. 12 Ph. 2-2157 By June Bierbower. John Bentley finds Kansas State sentiment, as well as that of big, bad, reactionary Nebraska and Iowa State, helped block Okla homa's wish to make transfer ath letes from junior colleges eligible immediately upon entering school, instead of spending a year in resi dence now. Dr. H. H. King of Kansas State says a junior college student upon entering a university needs a year to orient himself just like any other freshman. Then, too, Dr. King says the lack of a year's residence iule w.uld make it unnecessary for a junior college transfer to prove his scholastic ability, and in that way invite athletic bums. We agree absolutely with Dr. King. Throwing of the flood-gates open to junior college athletes would invite many boys who could play football right away without having to study a lick, or any thing of the sort. Of course, Oklahoma doesn't get first choice on their junior college athletes, they say, because the boys go right to the Southwest conference where they can play football their first year out. It's too bad, for the Sooners, but if their junior college athletes don't have enough old home state loy alty to serve out a year of ineli gibility because of the transfer rule, the fault certainly doesn't lie with mean old Nebraska and Kan sas State. It seems as though the K-State and Kansus U. have many athletes who take a couple of years of junior college, and then trans fer to Manhattan or Lawrence where they have to wait a year to compete. If they do it in Kansas they can do it in Oklahoma, even though the siren calls of the south western schools keep blaring. Carl Miles, the Missouri U. southpaw, who signed with the Athletics recently, was batted out of the box by the Huskers when he pitched here this spring. How- eve:, the teams were playing on a substitute diamond, having had to move because of the rain. The pitcher's box was more- or less makeshift, and all in all it wasn't a day for baseball. Or maybe Miles is a second Eldon Auker. Rare were the days when Auker could beat the Huskers when he pitched for K-State, and Nebraska was no great. shakes as a diamond power even then.

The Nebraska squad led by Bob Ginn, Madison star, and Clyde Taylor who hails from Lexington, won seven and tied in another event. Both Ginn and Taylor took first place in three events, Taylor also taking third in the broad jump. Ginn In winning the mile barely came through as he beat Ray of Missouri only by one-tenth of a second, his time being 4:23.9 to Lane's 4:24. Great hopes are held by Husker coaches for these freshmen, es pecially to fill up certain spots, in which seemingly, they now are weak, for this year's varsity team is recognized to be at their best in conference competition rather than in dual competition. This year's frosh took eight first places to the Missouri's six, there being one tie, this in the 220 yard dash, both Morris of Ne braska and Walter of Missouri do ing it in 22.2. Walters incidentally, also won the 100 yard dash. His time was 9.9. Morris, strangely enough, won the broad jump at yes, 22 feet 2 inches. The summaries of events for the meet is as follows: Joe Di Moggio homers, but Yanks lose to Tigers, 3.2 The New York Yankees' two game "winning streak" was ter minated Thursday afternoon, when the Detroit Tigers squeezed past the world champions with a run in the ninth inning to win 3-2. Buck Newsom allowed six hits in besting Red Ruffing in a pitch ers' duel. Joe DiMaggio hit a hor" run with a man on to spoil. New som's otherwise well pitched game. Hank Greenbc.g homered for the Tigers. A 1C run rally in the eight in ning gave the Chicago White Sox I r. 13-4 victory over the Philadel phia Athletics. However, the As got 16 to 13 safeties but couldn't bunch their hits off Thornton Lee. In the only other game played yesterday, the St. Louis Browns scored three runs in the last of the 12th after the Washington Senators had scored two in their half of the inning to win 8-7. All games in the National league were postponed. Colorado baseba 1 1 team plays Nebraska today, tomorrowas diamond season here ends Closing the 1940 season with a powerful opponent, Nebraska will face the Colorado nine this after noon, and Saturday.
