i Cornhusker fans need not be too
enthusiastic over the humbling of the

j Washington could afford to lose this
contest and save her regulars icr tne
conference game tonight. The real
Washington team did not have a
chance to work together until the last
ten minutes which proved too short
for them to get their stride. The game
tonight, without a doubt, will be one
c' the hardest fought contests ever
staged in the ol gym. Coach Stew
