.Weclnesclcry, April 11, 1945 THE NEBRASKAN 3 ASI SEE IT By Not only did Army make sham bles of the Collegiate football field, but it appears that they could make shambles of the major league clubs. The Brooklyn Dodg ers went to Bear Mountain Chant ing "California grapefruit, Texas cactus, We play1 West Point just for the practice, but came back on the short end of a three game series. Captain Paul Amen's fu ture officers smacked the National Leaguers all over the park, win ning two games out of three and shutting out the Dodgers in the last game. It looks like the for mer Nebraskan has himself quite a team . . . It 'is my personal opinion that Coach Lewandowski would have a much better showing at his spring practice if he could man age to have a scrimmage or two. I know of at least three fall squad members that would show if a scrimmage was offered on the programe . . . Here is an article from the SYRACUSE DAILY ORANGE, the paper of Syracuse university. that was published on April Fools day and it raises an interesting question about the prospects of an International Baseball league. As a result of a recent meeting of the Big Three, LaGuardia, Sta lin, and Ghandi, major league baseball will be converted to an international scale. Gone are the pre-war American and National leagues. From now on, baseball leagues will be made up of such clubs as the hard hitting OGPUs, the East Afghanistan Zombies, the Ameri can White-collar Workers, the German Beer Mugs and other fa mous units. Because the Japs have taken Sal Hepatica, this location for a baseball franchise must be waived until the island is again in allied hands. Open to discussion is the application for a second American entry, the Twelve O'Clock Cur fews. Whether America will be able to have two teams in the new league is in the voting stage at present, Sponsored by Mr. Ghandi, the Indian Deserts have combined forces with the North African Camels and if the latter can be located, this team has great chances to cop the first pennant. Mr. Stanivslufsky, Russian en voy to the world baseball secu rity conference has stated that the Northern Siberian nine will be at full strength when Joe Mon golia comes to terms. But Mongolia, who was a First Leftenant in the battle of the Czar, is holding out for about two hundred. Winston Churchill, who is tak ing a back seat. at the convo, is trying to forge the British pubs into one of the circuits. In former years, the Pubs, led by the great slugger, Archie Pelago, were dy namite on the diamond. This is the setup at present. The deadline for entries is June 45, 45.

Veteran Dick Coffman signed as a free agent, and Anton Karl, a holdover, will be used in relief. Despite the loss to the armed forces of Outfielder Ron Northey and First Sacker Tony Lupien, the club's most consistent hitters last year, Manager Freddy Fitzsim mons is confident that the Phils are a better club. "The big difference is our in field," said Fitz. "When we lost Shortstop Ray Hamrick last 'year, our entire infield went with him. On July 9, when Hamrick was drafted, we were in fifth place, a game and a half out of first divi sion. Then we dropped to the bot tom."
