Kebraska Takes First of Two
Game Bout 24-23
JANGLES VALLEY RACE
Friday Night Defeat Loses Champlon
ihlp Possibilities to Kansas Tossers
Take Second Game, 31 to 25
Another tangle was added to the
Missouri Valley basketball champion
ship race, when Coach Stewart's
scrappy bunch of Cornhusker young
sters split a two-game series Friday
sod Saturday of last week with the
Kansas Jayhawkers, touted as strong
contenders for the final title.
Friday night's game was by far the
most thrilling game of the series, and
called forth a much better style of
ball than the Saturday night's mix,
ending in a score of 24 to 23, In favor
of Nebraska. The game was close
throughout, and marked by sensational
plays, but had the Cornhuskers played
consistently throughout it would have
resulted in a larger victory over
Coach Hamilton's Jayhawk crew. The
first half ended 15 ty 8 In the Corn
buskers' favor. Then the Husker de
fense, which had proved impenetrable
bo far, slacked up, and a spurt by
Kansas brought the score to 23 to 23.
With less than a minute to play,
Cable Jackson, newly elected captain,
dropped a free throw in the ring and
counted Nebraska's winning point.
Thp line-up was as follows:

The Second Game
The second game went the other
way, Nebraska25 and Kansas31. Both
teams played on a slump, and seemed
to lack effectiveness. The Huskers
could not get their scoring machine
to working smoothly, and their team
work was erratic. Little else remains
to be said about it, except that it was
without dispute the Jayhawkers game
after the first few minutes of play.
The line-up for the game Saturday

What The Cornhusker Will Contain
"Students have expressed their opin
ion regarding the kind of Cornhusker
thy wart. Now it's up to them."
Such was the comment of Herman B.
Thompson, business manager of the
annual, on the eve of the subscription
campaign which starts this morning.
"The general student body uttered
the most emphatic protest against
eliminating general student activities
from the book. Now we are to see
whether they really meant it or not.
The price has been reduced to the
lowest possible point consistent with
good material and workmanship. Stu
dents who have paid S3 and $3.50 for
their Cornhuskers in previous years
are going to be given an opportunity
to purchase as high a type of book
in every way for $2.00 this year.

OTOUPALIK WINS NATIONAL
AMATEUR WRESTLING MATCH
Cornhusker Mat Artist Lays
Claim to Title
MAKES MINUTE FALL
Disposes of Opponent In Jig Time, In
Meet at Gary, Indi
ana. Hugo Otoupalik, who for the past
two years, as a member of the Corn
husker wrestling team has held the
light weight intercollegiate champion
ship of the western conference, won
the national title in this division last
Saturday at Gary, Ind., when ho dis
posed of two opponents in Jig time.
The national amateur meet for this
year was held at Gary last week with
more than eighty enteries. A win
ner at this meet is regarded by au
thorities as the official champion for
the year.
It took the Cornhusker just one
minute to make his first adversary
quit. "Otie" waited his chance after
the match began and then resorted to
his old trick of tossing his opponent
over his head. After that was accom
plished the rest was a simple matter.
The second man, a representative
from the Chicago Central Y. M. C. A.
Btuck with the Nebraskan throughout
the first bout which lasted six minutes
but at the end of that time the referee
gave Otoupalik the decision.
More than three thousand people
watched the matches. Many of the
famous sporting officials of the coun
try were in attendance, among them
Martin Delaney of Chicago, a well
known sport promoter and referee,
who officiated at the matches.

in the political campaign except for

bring in new applicants but the only
new filings were those for Ivy Day
orator.

of a few.
The election will be held today from
9 o'clock to 12 o'clock this morning
and from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. The polls will be at the
west end of the Armory. The Austra

of the board of regents, will be used
at this election. The vote of each stu
dent will be carefully checked bo that
there will be no chance of stuffing the
ballot box.
