PENN VS. DRAKE One cannot state without certain reservations which has produced the better record, Penn or Drake, Consulting the record book, we find that Penn, the older of the two, has a slight edge. Drake has set up some great records in the distance relays: times that cannot be approached by Penn. Yet the Penn Relays ... Every Time have held their popularity through the great stars that have competed there year after year, including Don Lash, Cunningham, Jack Torrance and Spec You GO by Towns.

V THE SAFEST NINE YOUNG MEN

MOST DEPENDABLE Coach Jake Kline's baseball men came back home Monday and Tuesday WAY TO CHICAGO after an Easter vacation road trip. With three wins and a loss to their credit (or discredit). the Irish nine went on exhibition for the local lads. But they were not very impressive. They showed, in the course of two games with Iowa, that Jake has a team that can hit spasmodically, field brilliantly at times, and a few pitchers who can occasionally make the rest of the team look good, but who, on the whole, are spending most of the afternoon getting themselves out Chicago, South Shore and of tight holes. All the essential elements of winning ball games are there. All South Bend Railroad that is needed is some semblance of co-ordination between the power at the plate and consistent support afield. Early reports had this year's nine labeled as an even a greater team than the 1936 Notre Dame nine, which set up one SOU^ORE of the best records in Irish baseball history. No team can expect to win ball games without hustle, and there is about as much hustling manifest among this season's crew as there is at an international chess match. * THE NOTRE DAME SCHOLASTIC 19 Irish Nine Splits Series With Buckeyes, Then Divides Two Tilts Here With Iowa HERE THEY ARE, The books of Jake Kline's up-and- Kline's sophomore ace, Norv Hunt­ coming Irish ballhawks show an im­ hausen, on the mound, tripped up the pressive 4-2 total in favor of the lads from the com country, 2-1, in a FELLOWS! ^ credit side today following an even ten-inning pitcher's battle.

Bartholomew, associate professor of politics, will begin a new series of political commentaries over the local WSBT-WFAM radio outlet on Sunday afternoon at 4:30, campus time. A previous series scheduled Mr. Bartholomew to speak at 5:45 on Saturday afternoons, a time arrange­ ment that was inconvenient for the student audience inasmuch as the dinner-hour interfered. Many of the political-minded students will take advantage of the opportimity to lis­ ten-in under the time revision. In his first Svmday discourse, Mr. Bartholomew is expected to make ref­ erence to the President's suggestion to Congress for the passage of a bill removing all income tax exemptions from future federal and state securi­ ties issues and salaries.
