THE B A 'I' T A LI O N OMAHA BLANKED BY AGGIES IN BIG TIME THRILLER (Continued from Page 6) left and “Unk” hurried home with the score that won the contest. Dwyer went to second on the throw to the plate but Dinan went out short to first. One to nothing games are not gen erally supposed to be so very inter esting from the spectator’s point of view but this one was certainly an exception. Both teams had runners in position to score several times but Dwyer was the only man to deliver the needed safety. Omaha got light hits which were distributed in pairs throughout the first, fifth, sixth, and seventh innings. Things looksd some what ticklish for the collegians in each of these periods but on each oc casion Olsen and his support were su perior to their threatened offense. Both clubs played a great defensive game. Only one error was recorded the whole afternoon and that came in the ninth and was close. The pret tiest part of the visitors work was probably done by their pitchers, Wig- ington and Stokes. Practically the entire Aggie nine played a fast brand of ball. The work of the battery, Ol sen and Crawford, was indeed beau tiful to watch. The big “Swede” work Monday made seventeen consec utive scoreless innings for him against class “A” professionals. Crawford worked like a demon as usual and gave his battery mate “something to throw at.” Olsen’s three strikeouts in the last innings show that he still had command of his curve and fast ones. His control was also excellent. The whole Aggie infield had glory galore. Dwyer probably gets the largest portion as he accepted thir teen chances at the initial bag and got two hits, one of which brought home the necessary tally. Smith at third made the banner play of the game when he raced through the crowd and back of the bleachers to catch a foul off Wilcox. He ran out of the sight of “Umps” Bible, though, and the play did not count. He came back, however and caught another a few seconds later that did count. During the entire battle “Smitty” handled the hot corner in great style. Summary. Omaha.

SOBLETS Did you ever dress up in that new tweed, with four buttons and bell bottoms, in antici pation of a little jaunt over to the sleepy city, to fill a date with that keen visit ing girl? About five o’clock you start dress ing and by the time supper is over you are ready to rub in a little of that Sta- comb and dull up that shiny nose. . After adding these final touches, you sink that pearl gray roll ed brim down flush with your ears and flecking a few imaginary spots from your new Scott tweed, you step down the stairs with -a-ce-nseieuG -air of- superiority. As it lacks a few minutes until the arrival of the Bryan electric ro cker, you park it on the front steps of the hall and in a leisurely manner start to manicuring your finger na Is. After fin ishing this task, / you restore your gold pen knife to your vest pocket and start to arise. Just as you attain a standing position and have readjusted your pleated back coat a raucous laugh followed by a shower of water descends up on you. “GIT FUR HOME BRUNO.” A.M.C.
