OMAHA BLANKED BY AGGIES
IN BIG TIME THRILLER

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.

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.
