Cowboy baseball legend Horlen dies at 84 Daniel Allen Staff Reporter Cowboy baseball lost one of its most prominent figures in program history. On Monday, OSU announced former pitcher Joel Horlen died earlier this past week at the age of 84. A native of San Antonio, Texas, Horlen pitched for the Cowboys in the 1958 and 1959 seasons, where he was an anchor in leading OSU to its lone national championship. Horlen led the team in strikeouts with 52 in the 1958 season and complete games with seven, posting a 6-3 record on the mound as well as a 2.26 ERA. Horlen would carry over his success to the 1959 season, compiling a 9-1 record on the mound, with a 2.23 ERA while once again leading the Cowboys in wins and strikeouts. He would go on to earn second team All-American honors as well as an All-Big Eight conference selection. He currently ranks No. 15 on OSU’s all-time complete game list with 15. Horlen signed with the Chicago White Sox following the conclusion of his collegiate career, pitching 12 seasons in the MLB with stints with the White Sox and Athletics. He would be selected as an MLB AllStar in the 1967 season and would win a World Series with the A’s in the 1972 season solidifying a career resume worthy enough to earn him an induction into the Cowboy Baseball Hall of Fame in 1993.

WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH?
There is a short chorus that has encouraged me many times. “Little is much if God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown and you can win it. If you go in Jesus’ name.” The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed. (Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)
away! e d i H inal g i r he O t t ou k c e Ch Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.” We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.

Final tournament sees broken records and lineup changes for Cowgirls Chris Becker Editor-in-Chief
coming up trying to push it and play 36 holes in a day, we’re going to give her the tournament off and hopefully she’ll be in good shape for Big 12’s.” Martin, while only a freshman, has consistently held down a middle tier roster spot on a deep Cowgirl roster. Her skills have impressed her teammates. “She’s a really good young player, she’s got lots of potential,” Maddison Hinson-Tolchard said. “She has a good attitude toward a lot of things. She doesn’t care if she’s a freshman or not, she’s just gone straight in.” Rina Tatematsu filled in for Martin in the lineup. Tatematsu recently took part in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, an experience that Robertson hopes pushes her through the end of the season. Tatematsu finished the event at 1-under and in 12th place. “Talking to her, she definitely has some motivation to get back there,” Robertson said. “Getting a chance to not only play in the tournament, but I know she missed the cut, but got the chance to play Augusta on Friday, that’s going to be some motivation for her. “She hasn’t played her best golf this spring, so we’re looking for her to start getting things together, but having played in (the ANWA) will hopefully inspire her and hopefully propel her to good things.” The Cowgirls are back in action in Hockley, Texas at the Big 12 Championship April 22-24.
Records continue to fall. Tuesday Oklahoma State women’s golf set a new program record after finishing tied for third at The Bruzzy hosted by North Texas in Fort Worth. With the third place finish the Cowgirls finished the regular season without finishing worse than third in an event for the first time in program history. The Cowgirls posted a 1-under final round to finish the event at 6-under, which was three off of second place TCU and well back from first place Baylor who finished at 21-under. Senior Lianna Bailey was the low Cowgirl in the event finishing tied for seventh with a final tally of 4-under-par. The Cowgirls were able to card numerous birdies, but strung together momentum was hard to find. In the event the Cowgirls found themselves again without freshman Clemence Martin, who had started in every event except The Bruzzy and the Cowgirls previous event, Red Raider Match Play. Martin has been dealing with a back injury that coach Greg Robertson did not want to rush along with postseason play around the corner. “It happened in the final round of our tournament in Arizona. She is practicing a little bit and she is playing a little bit,” Robertsports.ed@ocolly.com son said. “With Big 12

The new ghost gun rules will seek to make purchases of kits that allow Americans to construct their own firearms more similar to the existing procedures for buying a traditionally manufactured gun. Sellers of gun kits will be required to run background checks, and the kits must be marked with a serial number to make them easier to trace. Gun retailers will be required to retain records as long as they maintain a license, which means continually operating stores can no longer dispose of records after 20 years. “This rule will make it harder for criminals and other prohibited persons to obtain untraceable guns, will help ensure that law enforcement officers can retrieve the information they need to solve crimes, and will help reduce the number of untraceable firearms flooding our communities,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. news.ed@ocolly.com

Kirby and the Forgotten Land Peyton Little Staff Reporter Kirby and the Forgotten Land just released on March 25for the Nintendo Switch, and people have mixed opinions. The Kirby series of games are typically known for their 2-D platforming mechanics, cute and lovable characters and the unique power up system of inhaling enemies to obtain their powers. While two of these mechanics are still here in play in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby is now controlled in a three-dimensional environment for the first time in series history. This fact is especially shocking considering the Kirby series has been around since 1992. This game has such an important impact for the Kirby series going forward into more 3D adventures. All this to say, does Kirby and the Forgotten Land suck? Per usual in Kirby games, the story is nothing to write home about. While on his home planet of Popstar, Kirby gets sucked into some kind of vortex along with many of the other inhabitants and elements of Popstar. Kirby wakes up on a beach in some abandoned world that has kidnapped many of the Waddle Dees, the inhabitants of Popstar. It is up to Kirby and his new pal Elfilin to save the Waddle Dees from the evil Beast Pack in the strange “New World.” The plot is very simple, yet as seen by Kirby’s design, simple does not mean bad. This type of story works perfect for Kirby, as the Kirby series has never been focused on telling crazy stories. Besides, Kirby cannot talk in the first place, so it is always expected that stories will be on the simpler side of things. There are seven worlds that Kirby has to progress through, each with their own unique themes and bosses. The goal of the levels is to platform through the different 3-D environments such as grasslands with an abandoned mall, a closed down theme park and a tropical beach and rescue the imprisoned Waddle Dees from their cages. While there will always be three Waddle Dees at the very end of the level, the rest of the Waddle Dees are found by completing certain objectives and searching for the cages in hidden areas within the levels. This gives Kirby and the Forgotten Land a great sense of exploration and adds replay value. Once the Waddle Dees are rescued, they set up camp in a hub world appropriately named Waddle Dee Town. The more Waddle Dees added, the more buildings and stores they build. Some come with

their own mini games like the restaurant and coliseum that are built, while other buildings help to add to in level experiences like the weapons shop. Each world also comes with their fair share of challenging areas called “Treasure Road.” These unique areas take advantage of Kirby’s copy abilities, and they really require the player to master each ability to complete the goal in a quick amount of time. It could be as simple as beating up a bunch of baddies with the hammer ability, sniping
different targets with the ranger ability, or progressing through a maze of spikes with the tornado ability. Completing the levels awards the player with a rare stone, which can be used to upgrade the copy abilities within the Weapon Shop in Waddle Dee town. While the meat of the game comes in the form of levels within the worlds, these Treasure Road challenges offer even more ways to play the games. See Kirby on Page 8

Kirby... Continued from page 6 This is where Kirby and the Forgotten Land really shines. Kirby is floaty and fun to play as just as always, and his move set translates crisply into a three-dimensional space. The game limits how high Kirby can jump from a certain point, and given that the player has much more than a double jump, this makes complete sense. If Kirby’s jumping ability from his 2-D outings like Kirby’s Adventure and Kirby Super Star were used, Kirby and the Forgotten Land would be a completely broken game. The copy abilities are back in action, and they function just the same as any other Kirby game. Swallow a certain type of enemy, Kirby gains their power. Switching from 2-D to 3-D really gives these copy abilities the merit to stand out on their own. Certain levels benefit from having certain powerups, and the game will even reward players for figuring this out. This is one aspect that Kirby games have used in the past, but it is much more immersive within this 3-D setting. New to the scene is Mouthful Mode. These are items that Kirby can swallow, but not exactly take the power of. Instead, he changes shape and almost turns into the object itself to help progress through the level. For example, in the Amusement Park world, there is a section where the path to walk on seemingly vanished in darkness. The player then has to swallow a light bulb and slowly light the way through an obstacle course to reach the end. There are many more examples of how Mouthful Mode adds on to the progression and the fun brought in with the copy abilities. Overall, the controls are pristine and easy for any player new to the series to understand. This game is colorful. From the bright green grass within Waddle Dee Town, to the chilling environment of Winter Horns, there is always something to catch the eye in this game. The game blends the abandoned city elements of the entire game’s theme and the specific world the player is playing in perfectly. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is supposed to be displaying a world that is barren and abandoned, yet with the vibrant and colorful atmosphere this game brings, it depicts a world that is lively and vibrant. In the same way the Super Mario 3-D World came before Super Mario Odyssey, this may be only the beginning for Kirby. The level-to-level format works great for what it is, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land surely lays a foundation for a new and developing formula for the Kirby series. and vibrant visuals, this is a must play for all Nintendo With its fun sense of exploration, collectables Switch owners. Kirby may suck up enemies to get his sprinkled throughout the levels, great combat using the power, but Kirby and the Forgotten Land does copy abilities, fun use of the new Mouthful Mode,
