THE DAILY NEBRASKA N
CAGESTERS GET
STIFF WORKOUT
Practice Show Spectator
That Team Has Cham
pionship Possibilities.
VARSITY SHOWS GOOD
OFFENSE TO SCRUBS
Nebraska's basketeers, fresh from
two victories over Valley opponents,
went through stiff scrimmage yester-
day on the Armory floor. Coach Bill
Kline was running a regular first
team against a Second team and using
only a few substitutes for the regu
lars. His lineup indicates those to
start in most of the games this sea
son. The practice showed the few spec
tators there that Nebraska has cham
pionship chances. ,The regulars, al
though playing against a team of
substitutes, showed up excellently in
every branch of play. The scrubs
were no set-up, yet the regulars
played all around them much of the
time.
Uses Substitutes.
Conch Kline used a starting lineup
of Usher, Black, Goodson, Volz, and
Tipton, who will probably be the five
to do most of the playing. The sec
ond team was composed of Smaha,
Reynolds, Andreson, Newman, and
Andrews.
The Varsity uncorked an offense
which was played to good advantage.
There were no startling new plays,
but there were five men playing all
of the time, all over the court. They
had the second team baffled and
rarely were they stopped.
The defense which they used
against both the Kansas Aggies and
Oklahoma was on deck and working
fairly well. The scrubs broke through
several times, however. Volz's work
at guard stood out with that of his
partner, Tipton. They seem a pair
who will work together without any
hitches.
Makes Chances Good.
Black and Usher were getting
along extremely well yesterday.
Black had an uncanny accuracy for
the basket and made practically ev
ery shot he had a chance at. He is
fast and sure. Usher was up to his
usual standard.
Andreson and Reynolds got a
chance with the first-string men later
in the practice. Beerkle subbed of
ten and has good goal-shooting pos
sibilities, although he is a little slow
and afraid of himself on floor work.
Ekstrom substituted for Goodson
at center and handled the position
well. He is almost the height of
Goodson and, like the regular, uses
it to good advantage in guarding and
around the goal.
The Cornhuskers will work out
again tonight at 8 o'clock.
Black Shows up Well
In Basketball Practices
Leo Black, Varsi
ty forward, showed
up woll, playing as
a mate to Bill Ush
er, in yesterday's
basketball practice.
Black played both
of the out-of-town
games. He works
with Usher to good
advantage and the
two of them form a
good scoring com
bination. Only
Goodson is needed
to make it complete.
Black is fast and al
ways finds a way to
get around the ene
my defense. Black
won his letter last
year.

must have two semesters before he
can play with Nebraska regulars. He
is working out daily, however and It
is probable that he will see service

Graphic pie enough to satisfy the hunger
of a life-time ; no end of graphic mountains
to scale and toboggan down. That's what
the man who loves to analyze graphs and
statistical symbols can look forward to
when he comes with the electrical industry7.
Economic study is oneof many branches
in this broad field. If you have thought
of electricity as limited to engineers, this

The commercial organization with its

It may pay you to keep this in mind
