COLLEGIATE games II provides for two trips,
a. short southern invasion OF Kansas ter ?
ritory to play four games and an eastern =
tour into Iowa and Minnesota For tho
home diamond II has seven games booked.
No Easter trip will be taken by the Corn
huslSers this year because the annual re-
cess Of the spring months comes very early
this season-the latter part Of March. which
time Is too soon to permit college teams to
get into shape for base ball. The Corn
huskers have made southern trip each :
Easter recess for years past, but thiu
spring the annual tour win take place from
April lS 70 IL. -Four games win be played
during that period-two with the Uni-
versity Of Kansas at Lawrence and two
with the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan
The Aggies will be met on April 1s and II;
the state university players viii be an
countered on April Is and ie Last season
the Kansas nine defeated the Cornnuskers
in two games at Lawrence at the end OF
a weeks trip by the Nebraska team. The
Cornhuskers had been playing good bah
until they met Kansas, and by the timi
they arrived at Lawrence the cold weatheW

the cornhuskers win rest five days before
playing any more games. On April q ana

for two games. These contests will be the
first games TO be played on the new Nee
braska field, and will be the most imporss
ant ones OF the season from the viewpoint
Of tho local students
For two years Kansas and NebrAsISa
have not been able to settle the base BAH
question 10 the satisfaction OF either school.
In 1907 the Jayhawkers had a better team
than Nebraska IL the two games played
at Lawrence were test Of the strength
Of the two Mines Kansas won from Ne.
braska on The Lawrence field, but never
came to Lincoln for game Last season
Kansas won two games from Nebraska at
home; came to Lincoln, lost one game. ana
was saved from second defeat by a rain
storm. In the minds OF the Cornhuskera
there IL no question that the local team
was the better; the Jayhawkers are not
willing to admit this contention. 80 the
coming series Of four games-two at Law
renee and two at Lincoln--will find the
two teams battling desperately for a su-
premacy that cannot be- disputed. Ana
when the Lawrence players come to Lkn-
ooln they VIII find Nebraska players and
students laying for them"
Highland Park college OF Des Moines VIII
come TO Lincoln to play the Cornhushers
in one game on April q. Although a minor
college Of Iowa, Highland Park in recent
years has turned out some strong base
ball teams, and is said to have glowing
prospects for winning nine this spring.
In coming to Lincoln the Highlanders WIN

Ames win be the first opponent OF the
cornhuskers and win have two chances 10
