Rowe ---------------------------------------------- 4 8 We don’t know whether it’s a weakness in John Scott Poole’s knees or our extraor- dinary resemblance to a feather bed that makes him lie all over 11s when he wishes to impart any knowledge unto us. We hear that Leo Rowe and Sam Jacobs are going into the slight-of-hand business. The main part of their act goes something like this they come out on the stage, Sam makes a few fake passes and commands Leo to disappear, whereupon Leo quickly turns sidewise and the audience, no longer being able to see him, marvels greatly, after which Sam collects. We might also add that anyone who can sell reserved seats to a class play when there isn’t even standing room is wasting time going to school. There are two things impossible in this world. The first is for a one-armed man to hook his wife up the back and the other is to make Helen O’Reilly bust out in a lusty hilarious laugh. One glimpse of Bill Dugan’s feet is enough to convince anyone that he has most marvelous understanding. “Buns” DeLazier is going to get letters for Baseball and Basketball, but you can take it from us, they are not the only let- ters “Buns” gets. What’s that? Danger flag! Where? Oh, up there! That’s no danger flag, that’s Art Worden with his head out the window. Might we observe without running a risk with our lives, that anyone who walks behind Mr. Grimm has a long life before him. 29

THE NUGGET Baseball EFORE discussing the prospects of the baseball team of 1918, note should be made of the team of 1917. For various reasons a schedule could not be arranged. All but two of the scheduled games were can- celled. The Butler nine played the team from Boonton High School twice, winning once. The games that roused the most in- terest were those played between the Juniors and Sophomores for the Interschol- astic Championship. Three games w’ere played, the Sophomores winning twfo out of three. The Sophomores felt very proud of the pennant they received and resolved to carry it through their Junior and Senior years. Three very interesting games have been played between the classes of the school this Spring. The Juniors woli both games they played. It looks as if the Sophomores of last year are going to live up to their resolution to carry the pennant through Junior and Senior years. The manager of this year’s team has had difficulty in arranging games. Most of the teams that have played Butler in previous years have given up baseball this year. For this reason a complete schedule has not been arranged. An almost entirely new line-up had to be made this year owing to the fact that only four of last year's players are in school at present. As is alwrays the case with a newly organized team, good teamwork has not been de- veloped. But the fellows are putting every effort into their practice and it is hoped that before long an evenly balanced team will be obtained. The following schedule has been ar- ranged: Butler at Bloomfield--------------May 10 Hamburg at Butler May 17 Butler vs. Butler Rubber Mill May 23 Butler at Hamburg-----------------May 29 Oakland at Butler-----------------May 30 31
