HDSKERS WIN
MAT MEET FROM
KANSAS TEAM
Nebraska Grapplers Get Three
Falls; Win Match by
21 to 11 Score
HEAVYWEIGHTS ARE FAST
Cornhusker Captain Gains Fall Over
Smith; Tuning Wins De
cision Nebraska wrestlers beat the Uni
versity of Kansas mat team Friday
night by a score of twenty-one to
eleven. Many of the matches were
very even, but the Husker squad as
a whole showed superiority. The
fastest bout of the evening was be
tween Smith of the Jayhawks and
Captain Highley, a Husker in the
175-pound class.
The 108-pound men were Stoklas
of Kansas and Jones for the Hus
kers. Stoklas won the decision with
a scant time advantage of sixty-one
seconds. The men milled around on
their feet for over six minutes. Then
Stoklas took Jones for just enough
advantage to give him the decision.
The remainder of the match was
even. The decision counted three
for the Jayhawks.
Blore of the home squad more
than evened the score by taking
Scott to a fall. It was contested for
nine minutes and ten seconds. They
They left their feet in the first min
ute and Blore went behind. He held
the Kansan helpless until six min
utes, when Scott crawled out of the
ropes. Blore finally downed his man
with a half-Nelson, and a body lock.
The men weighed 115 pounds.
In the 125-pound match, H. Skin
ner of the Kansans won a decision
from Weber. Weber was at a disad
vantage most of the time, although
he squirmed loose several times.
Skinner had a net advantage of
nearly seven minutes. The score
then stood Kansas six, and Nebraska
five.
Kellogg of the Huskers put his
team in the lead by gaining a decision
over James. They were on their feet
for about three minutes. The time
advantage was four minutes, thirty
six seconds.
Dale Skinner of Nebraska made
quick work of Delp. He downed him
in four minutes and a half with a
scissors and a bar arm lock. This
made the score Nebraska thirteen,
Kansas six. These men were in the
145-pound division.
In the 158 pound melee, Hays of
the Jayhawks pinned Brannigan just
before the whistle blew ending the
match. Brannigan slipped out of
the .Kansan's holds several times, but
Hays always managed to regain an
advantageous position. The fall was
accomplished -ith a headlock.
Captain Highley cinched the meet
by gaining a fall over Smith, the
Kansas 175 pound grappler. The
match was hard fought, but Highley
put Smith's shoulders on the mat
with a top scissors and a bar arm
lock in a little less than five min-j
utes. ,
In the heavyweight class, Tuning
of Nebraska won a decision over
Freese. The big fellows were pretty
evenly matched, but the Husker rep
resentative handled Freese well
enough to gain a three minute and
twenty-four second time advantage.
The referee was E. G. Schrocder of
Iowa State University, and the time
keepers were Gish and Thomas.
Farmer Burns gave a short talk
before the meet.

HUSKBRS LOSE
15 TO 11 GAME
TO BLUEJAYS
Creighton Wins Cage Battle
Before 5000 People in
Field House
-GAME TIED NEAR END
Smaha Evens Things Up With Two
Baskets but Bluejays Score
In Last Minutes
It was a tense crowd that saw the
Husker basketball team downed by
the Creighton Bluejays in the Field
House last night The score was 15
to 11. With five minutes to play,
Smaha tied the score with a pair of
field baskets and a free throw, but
the Omaha team broke away and
took the game right from under Ne
braska's nose.
Coach Bearg experimented quite
a little with several combinations,
and does not consider the loss a seri
ous one as it is out of Missouri Valley
circles. Nebraska has played Creigh
ton five times in the last four years,
and it is the second time the Blue
jays have been victorious. The other
time was the first game, played four
seasons ago.
Brown and Lawson were the only
two Huskers to last the entire game.
Lawson started as a guard and Brown
as a forward, but later in the con
test both men were used in the guard
position. Lawson played his usual
scrappy game, and it is believed that
he showed up better last night than
he has on the home floor before this
season.
Phil Oerelich, starting his first
game for Nebraska, played an excel
lent game during the half that he
was in. He made the first and only
field goal for the Huskprs during the
first period and played extremely
well as Lawson's running mate.
Smaha was high point man for Ne
braska with two field goals and the
same number of free tosses. He
couldn't get started in the first per
iod and was replaced by Beerkle, but
he came back strong in the last part
of the game.
Eckstrom traded places with Ted
Page, Husker "giant" who was seen
in action here for the first time this
season. Elliott was only in the game
a few minutes in the last period.
Deising, Creighton center, made
the first basket of the game when
he made a short one good early in
Uhe game. He was closely followed
by Oerelich, Nebraska guard, with a
shot from the center. That was the
first and last field goal the Huskers
got in the first period. They did
manage to gather three free tosses
while the visitors counted four more
field goals and a free one.
