third place. Missouri had been head
ing the procession with six victories
and nary a setback and the Corn
liuskers were tearing along In third
place with six wins and two defeats
when the two contenders met on the
Armory floor Friday evening.
The Friday battle which the Husk
ers copped by a score of 21 to 14
was Nebraska's from the tip-off but
the Saturday collision was anybody's
game up until the final whistle. Mis

busker basketeers started an attack
and shot the score up to 14 to 5 be

equilibrium. Each team then added
one more goal to their records and

ring and planted his team again In
the lead, 27 to 26. The Missourians
made a frantic effort to forge in
ahead, but the game ended just as
Tatty threw another free goal after
Coffey had been called for a personal
foul.
Captain Jackson of the Huskers
and Scott of Missouri hung up the
record scores for their respective
teams, Jackson looping five field
