LOSE LAST GAME
Scoring of Everett and Boelter
of Drake Causes Nebraska
Defeat.
BULLDOGS TRIUMPH ,
BY 25 TO 12 SCORE
The Drake Bulldogs sunk their
fanjrs deep into Husker flanks last
evening at the coliseum and beat the
Husker cagemen 25 to 12 in a game
that was all Drake's except for two
trief moments in the first half. Ne
braska enjoyed a two-point advantage
for the initial minute or two of play,
and later a one point lead for about
half minute. After that Drake
forged ahead never again in danger.
Everett on the Drake team was the
spectacular star of the evening. He,
shot baskets from all parts of the I
floor. He made seven field goals
and two free throws for sixteen coun
ters, and was chiefly responsible for'
the Husker defeat. Boelter, Ever-;
ett's partner at forward, was second
high man in the game with 8 points
to his credit. Usher and Eckstrom
of Nebraska each made 5 points from
2 field goals and free throw.
Tipton Gets First Goal.
Tipton hung up the first field goal
of the game, giving Nebraska the
lead. A free throw by Ashby put
the Bulldogs within one point, and a
field goal by Boelter placed them
ahead. Good defensive work by both
sides featured the play in the next
ten minutes during which a free
throw by Boelter of Drake was the
only score made.
Ekstrom and Black were substi
tuted on the Nebraska team for
Usher and Goodsn at this stage of
the game, and the Huskers spurted
forward to a temporary lead of 7 to
6 which was broken when Boelter
made a field goal just before the
half ended.
In the second half Drake opened
an offensive around Everett that
raised the score to 21 to 7. Drake
guards played such an air-tight de
fensive game that Husker forwards
were unable to break through for
short shots at the basket, and had to
resort to unsuccessful long attempts.
Use Substitutes.
Coach Kline substituted freely in
the second period in a Vain effort to
itave off the Bulldog rush. Billy
Usher was the only Husker player
able to score in the second half. He
made two field goals and one free
throw which raised the Husker score
from 7 to 12.
The Husker cagemen were decid
edly off form in the game last eve
ling, and did not play the brand
that won them victories in the ma
jority of Valley games played this
season. Ekstrom at forward tied
Usher in number of points made. R.
DeWitz was the stellar guard per
former on the Husker quintet.
The Bulldogs used a five man de
fense modified, for individual play
ing, which prevented the Huskers
from working the ball near the bas
ket for under-basket and set-up shots.
Playing on the Bulldog team was
concentrated around their star for
wards Boelter and Everett, to whom
the ball was passed for shots at the
basket
The defeat did not change Ne
braska's position in third place in the
Valley season record.

SENATORIAL CANDIDATE
SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
Charles H. Sloan Blames Dem
ocrats for Present Hard
Times.
"The United States is one country
that can take care of itself," Charles
A Dean, Republican candidate for
United States senate, said to a stu
dent audience last night at 7 o'clock
in Social Science auditorium.
"The United States has three
fourths of all the gold in the world.
She has 75 per cent of the credit of
the world. She has three times as
much wealth as any other three na
tions. All nations desire this so it is
important that we have a competent
force in power," he exclaimed.
The Republican party, Mr. Sloan
said, stands for the lowering of the
national debt, insistaiye on the pay
ment of outstanding debts, protect
ing labor and the farmer, and be
lieved in a protective tariff which
should especially provide for the
American farmer. He blamed the
Democrats for the present hard times
because farm products were on the
free list of the present tariff. This,
he thought, should interest Ne
braskans. NEBRASKA GRIDSTERS

Fourteenth Annual Cage Com
petition Has Record En
try of 250 Teams.
OVER TWO THOUSAND
PLAYERS TO COMPETE
The fourteenth annual state high
school basketball tournament started
at 8 o'clock this morning on nine
floors and will continue throughout
the day. The first round will be fin
ished today. The second round and
semi finals will be played tomorrow.
Final games will be played Saturday
afternoon and evening.
Two hundred fifty teams are en
tered in this record breaking tourna
ment. More than 2,000 players will
compete in the meet. The entry num
ber this year is the greatest in the
tournament history. Last year 226
teams were entered.
Team See Game.
Visiting teams were guests of the
University at the Nebraska-Drake
game last night. The entire east sec
tion was given to the players.
' High school players are not issued
tickets this year. Instead, buttons
are clamped on their clothes, making
it impossible for non-participants to
sneak into games. By early evening
yesterday, over 100 teams had reg
istered at the University. Men from
a large number of towns close to Lin
coln are coming in cars because of
the ideal weather and good roads.
University men are acting as ref
erees, timekeepers and scorekeepers
in the tournament. They received
thir final instructions at a meeting.
Tuesday night. Timekeepers and
scorers are required to work all three
days and are paid thirty cents an
hour.
Fraternities House Teams.
Committees from the Y. M. C. A.
met trains yesterday and directed the
teams to their rooms. Reservations
for rooms were made through the
Chamber of Commerce. Each frater
nitiy is housing a team. The remain
ing teams are scattered over the city
at hotels, rooming houses and private
residences. Most of the class' A and

morning games and at 3, 6, 8, 9, 10,
and 1 1 o'clock for the afternoon and
evening games. The wave length of
the station is 275 meters.
Winners Hard to Pick.
The picking of a winner in the
two leading classes is a hard task.
The dope sheet has been upset too
many times in past tournaments.
Lincoln, Omaha Central, Omaha
Tech, Creighton, Norfolk and Fre
mont all have a chance for honors.
Hastings, runnerup last year for the
state championship, has not shown
so much this year. " Chappell, Valen
tine or Sidney may prove a dark
horse and upset some of the leading
eastern teams.
Class B also presents a list of
teams which have an equal chance for
winning. Central City, Gothenburg,
Kearney, Sutton, Columbus and Ne
braska City have all made good rec
ords this season and will probably
show up well in the tournament.
Finals in class A, B, C, and D will
be played at the Coliseum. Classes
E. F, G, and H will play their finals
at the Armory. Classes I, J, K, and
L will play at Whittier school and the
