Winfield and Oklahoma Aggies Cross
Bats Saturday.

Winfield, Kan, April 12.-Saturday
afternoon will mark the opening of the
baseball season on the home field when
the team of Oklahoma Aggies from
Saltwater, invade the local camp for
a game with the MOundbuflderS of
Southw estern. The local men have
been practicing consistently and it is
believed that the school possesses bet
ter team than for several years. When
the Aggies visited Southwestern last
year there was a twelve inning con-
test which ended in a 5 to 4 victory
for the local team. At that time,
Burchf1el for Southwestern and Bill
lings for Oklahoma were the opposing
pitchers and it looks as If the same
slab men will again be pitted against
each other. Each is the premier box
artist of his respective school.
Coach Mills Ebright of the South
western squad believes that he has
bunch which can win and he is de-
termined to give every school met
during the season a run for their
money.

between Governor woodrow Wilson
and the Republican senators and as

the measures. Many of the measures
were important, all were entitled to
careful study.
''Given ten days in which to do the
work, the duty was met by crowding
the work of ten days into two. ap
