Wesleyan Fails to
Meet Creighton on
the Tennis Courts

The Creighton university Nebraska
Wesleyan tennis match scheduled for to-
day has been cancelled. Creighton re-
ceived word at the last moment that wes-
leyan would be unable to play because
OF conference rules.
Creighton men are considerably In.
csnsed because OF this action on the part
Of Wesleyan. a. II was that team that
first applied for a game with Creighton.
Father Devlin, manager OF athletics
ct Creighton. received letter some time
ago stating that the Nebraska Wesleyan
tennis team would make q trip during
May. playing the University Of Omaha.
Friday. May. ). and would like TO play
Creighton the following day. Creighton
Immediately accepted and made prepare
tons for the game, only to be notified
at the last moment that conference rules
would make 1t impossible to play the
game.
Creighton students are OF the opinion
that this excuse Is threadbare, as II Is
used by every college that wishes to avoid
o game with them. Nebraska wesleyan's
action II also considered rather inconsist-
ent when II Is remembered that It's bas-
kst ball team on q tour during the last
season, passed through Omaha. and while
here attempted to arrange q game with
Creighton for the championship Of the
state. Az Creighton had its schedule
filled. the game could not be arranged.
Nothing was said At that time about
conferences rules. which apply to all
branches OF athletics.

BIG LEAGUE SLUGGERS?
learn to bat. 1t seems to come
naturally to some fellows, while
others try as hard as they can and
never seem to improve.
1 was a good batter as a kid,
and SO was Cobb. At the same
time, both of US have improved a
great deal since we began to play
big league ball, and that shows
practice means a whole lot.
My advice to the boys who
want to be baseball players is, to
PLAY. Play whenever possible
every day.
The most important thing a
batter has to do is to train his
eye to judge distance and speed,
and the only way to do this is to
practice.
Boys often think that if they
had this or that kind of a bat they
could do wonders. They ought to
forget all that sort of nonsense.
A boy can get just as good prac-
tice with broom handle as with
the most expensive bat ever made.
A good eye is not the only
thing a boy needs. He should
keep his body in the best possible
condition. In addition to swing
ing at a ball, he ought to do other
things swim, run, try pitching
and fielding, There have been
plenty of good pitchers who
would never have made good bat
tiers.
