In meeting Minnesota last spring the
Cornhusksrs lost two games. One was for
foited In the ninth inning by Nebraska
when the score stood a tie. The Corn
husker captain objected 10 a Questionable
decision OF the umpire and receiving no
satisfactory answer why such decision
should be given, Withdrew his men from the
field. In the second game the Gophers won
IN the last inning. Nebraska's second base
man stumbled over board at the edge Of
the infield just as he was about to catch
ny. The missing Of this ball permitted two
runners to score and gave the game 70 the

Freshman Material Fast.
Coach Carroll Is enthusiastic about the
prospects for winning freshman team.
He says there 10 in school this spring some
SG the fastest first year material that he
has ever seen here, and that the 1913 nine
pught 10 be an all-victorious aggregation,
such as they talk OF down In Lawrence, the
home Of the Kansas university athletes.
This 10 the first year that the athletic
board haa recognized the freshman team,
and the result OF the decision OF the gov
erning body 10 take charge Of tho begin
nerB and give them games with outside
schools has been 10 incite q great inter-
est among the freshmen In tho diamond
sport A majority Of the men on the base
ball squad during the past week have been
freshmen. ~
Among these first year students there
are several players who would be given
places on the varsity were they eligible
10 compete In intercollegiate contests.
Three or four OF them are classy ball ar
lists and are certain 70 play on the varsity
next season.
Some Of the freshmen who have been
showing up wen IN practice and who will
likely get places as regulars or substitutes
on the team are Hunt. Warner, Smith,
AaoKihben, Howard. Jamison. seidel, Frank,
oliver and May.
Hunt Is a candidate for catcher. He has
played behind the bat in nearly all the
practice games with the varsity and has
done satisfactory work.
For first base Smith and Warner win be
the two reliables. Warner has been out
Tor practice only a few times, but has
shown considerable class IN the little play
ing he has Done, Smith plays fast game
az first. He Is fair hitter.
At the second sack McSibben Is a real
star, and practically has his place ciinched.
He is an excellent fielder and reliable
batter Howard has been playing varsity
ball at short and should get his position
without much trouble.
Jamison, a Wah0o boy. handles himself
admirably on the third bag and promises
to be one Of the stars Of the team. He
fields with almost faultless Judgment and
hits the ball like a Lacquer.
II has been rather hard for the coaches
20 get a line on the freshman outfielders
as yet but Frank. May and Oliver appear
70 have caught the eyes OF the trainers
ana they VIA be considered FOR places on
the nine IN the final makeup OF the regu-
lars. Frank has done some fast fielding
and gives promises Of becoming a star In a
year or two.
The freshmen are like the varsity in
regard TO pitchers. weak. AT least. Coach
Carroll has not been able 10 find many
freshmen who want to work on the slab
oliver ana seidel, apparently are the only
men who have come 10 the cosoh'a uottca
