Team Starts
4-Game Trip
Coach A. J. Lewandowski and
fourteen members of his 1942 base
ball .edition will embark this after
noon on a four game road trip
which will carry them to the
campuses of the University of
Minnesota and Iowa State.
A last minute announcement that
Al Artman, sophomore first sack
er, would be ineligible for the trip
left a gap in "Lew's" fast infield.
It is probable that Bob Cooper
will take over the initial bag
during the road trip.
Yesterday afternoon's practice
dealt with the ironing out of any
detail flaws that might bother the
Huskers during the trip.
In an effort to find out how his
pitchers will act under fire, "Lew"
will carry five hurlers on the
trip.
Trip Roster.
Pitchers: Floyd Stork, Ernie
Swanson, Bob Garey, Carl
Leach, and Clark Rice.

Betas Advance
To I-M Softball
Finals, Win 8-3
Taking advantage of Dale Wei
bel's wildness, the Betas advanced
to the finals of the intramural
softball tourney by defeating the
Farm House 8-3.
After holding the Betas in check
for two innings, Farm House
pitcher Weibel ran into trouble in
the third frame when he walked
the bases full and then served a
three base hit pitch to Tom Hy
land. Before the Betas could be
retired five runs had come across
the plate.
Kmie Smethers, Beta hurler,
didn't run into trouble until the
Farm House last bats, when he
allowed two scores to come in.
John Selleck, the one who hokls the athletic purae brings
still smiling despite the world conditions, financial conditions etf. . . .
Selleck announced that the 1941 football receipts have not been
touched as yet and that Nebraska finances shine like a rony red
apple. . . That's nice to hear amid all of the talk from othev cogues
doing away with athletics for the duration. . . And aVio yet
idea, tie field house, is progressing nicely.
The other afternoon, not having too much to do, we wandered
through the partially completed structure which is destined- take
Its place in the Husker athletic fold within the next year. . . The
building is being whipped into shape at a pretty fast clip. . . Even
the tunnel which is to connect the east stadium dressing rooms
with the field house is complete except the final door mj. . . H
will, if everything goes as scheduled, be ready for next tan's grid
iron wars.
Husker baseball hopefuls will journey to Minnesota for the
opening game on their 15 game schedule. . . The first gatoe wW- be
on Friday and another will be held on Saturday. . . Then nest Monday
and Tuesday, the Huskers will meet Iowa State in the first Mr Six
test of the current campaign. . . Coach Ad Lewandowski ftxmd veA
that the May 7 game with Oklahoma Aggies will be a nigM tat.
O IT looks like Boston baseball fans will have something
their beans if their two basebaH teams continue winning ball games
as they have been doing . . . The Red Sox finally took over the lead
In the American league while the Braves are sharing the leadership
in the National . . . Ted WiHiams feels relieved as he is aiepftfng
along the Red Sox bid . . . He was originally classified in t- A k the
draft and then along came the baseball season and a chang hs M
draft status placed him in 3-A.
OBILL Lyda, Oklahoma's versatile star, can claim some reer or

Relays he was one of the sprinters who paced the Sooner sprint
team to victory ... He has a 4:25 mile effort to his credtt bestdes
being the second best two miler In the conference.

in an effort that equaled Freddie Walcotfs best time for tte dtertanee.
JOE DiMaggio is keeping up with Ted Williams of the Boston
Red Sox Williams in the batting department, . . Duplicating WH
liam's feat on opening day, Jolting Joe lambasted one terrttic
run, a double and a single in three trips to the plate on Wednesday
to keep step with his arch rival. . . We predict a new batting, ave
rage to be written on the books by the end of the current campaign
by either Joe or Ted.
