"A knowledge of chemistry will
give us a better understanding of the
world in which we live," said Dr. F.
Upson, head of the Department
of Chemistry, in his talk on "Study

"Chemistry is the study of the

Phi Sigma Kappa added one more
game to its untarnished record in the
Greek basketball tourney by trounc
ing Phi Gamma Delta 19 to 4. Sigma
Phi Epsilon took an interesting con
test from Pi Kappa Alpha. The
Acacia five failed to make an appear
ance on the court and Kappa Sigma
took the game by forfeit.
From the beginning of the Sig Ep-
Pi K A battle the result was in doubt
Pi Kappa Alpha showed a lot of
power in its offense that was gen
erally unsuspected and the first half
ended in its favor four to two. The
-Sig Eps started the second period in
fine style, sinking a field goal in the
first minute, but still the opponents
held on. Near the end of the game,
Hecht started a one-man rally, flip
ping in three successive goals in
well under a minute.
Sic Eps Forge Ahead
This did not stop the scoring of the
Pi K A men, but it did put the Sig
Eps far enough ahead that they could
not be overtaken. Hecht and Kahler
showed best for the winners, Miller
was off form and did not connect
with tne hoop throughout the con
test. Gohde, as usual, was the leader
for the Pi Kappa Alpha, but Whelan
covered the floor well and Lepicier
did some good defensive work.

There are those who have not had

CORNHUSKER MOVES
TO NEW LOCATION
Daily Nebraskan Business Office
Placed in Former Quarters
Of Annual Staff
Alternations in the location of the
Cornhusker offices and the business
department of the Daily Nebraskan
, Monday afternoon, and
today the two staffs are established
in their new quarters. The Cornhus
ker office which has shared the room
adjoining the Daily Nebraskan office
on the north jointly with the Aw
gwan, is being moved to basement
room Number 1 of University Hall,
and the Business department of the
Daily Nebraskan will vacate its of
fice in the west stand of the stadium
and take up new headquarters in
the space vacated by the Cornhusker
desks.
These innovations will bring about
more favorable working conditions
for both staffs. The new Cornhusker
office is larger, has a convenient cam
pus entrance and will be comfortably
equipped for the convenience of the
staff in carrying on its work. It is
isolated from the incessant hammer
ing of Daily Nebraskan typewriters.
Change in Distribution
The 1927 Cornhusker will be dis
tributed frpm the new office in the
spring instead of from the basement
room of the Administration building.
This will facilitate distribution of the
year book gTeatly by doing away with
much of the congestion that always
results from the scramble to get 'the
new Cornhusker.' The new office is
accessible from the lower corridor of
U Hall or from the campus entrance
at the south 6ide of U Hall imme
diately to the right of the entrarce
steps. A bulletin board will be erect
ed outside to take care of important
announcements.
The change of the business depart
ment of the Daily Nebraskan from

NEBRASKA WINS
27-T0-22 GAME
FROM MISSOURI
Displays Short-Pass System
That Sifts Through
Missou Defense
SMAHA MAKES TEN POINTS
Cornhusker Captain is Star;
Missouri Threatens With
Second-Half Rally
By Jack Elliott
Displaying a fast brand of basket
ball and a short passing game, the
Nebraska basketeers took the long
end of the 27 to 22 score from the
Missouri Tigers in the Coliseum last
night. Captain Clark Smaha was the
outstanding star of the evening,
snagging five counters from the field
for high point man of the evening.
The game started off with a flying
start, Ted Page, the lanky Husker
pivot-man getting the tip-off from
Channon and the ball going up and
down the court, with neither team
able to score. ' Then the ball reach
ed the hands of Clark Smaha who
sunk it through the netting with a
perfect one-hand shot. After five
minutes of fast playing Bacchus,
Tiger forward evened the count at 2
to 2. Then the Missouri forward
Uonrx lead was short lived for
the
Nebraska captain made another shot,
the most sensational shot, of the
game to even the count.
Nebraska Missinf Shots
The Nebraska five were missing
manv shots after taking the ball
through the Tiger defense and down
under the goal. The Husker five
would work the ball down the floor
only to miss a short shot under the
basket. But the Husker defense was
functioning perfectly with Holm and
Andreson keeping the Tigers taking
their shots at long range. The Mis
souri five tried several passes tha
were the length of the lloor, but the
Nebraska guards wc uld break up
every play that the Tigers would
launch.
After 12 minutes A playing in the
opening period the score still stood
at a tie 4 to 4, when Page broke
through for a set-up under the bas
ket, breaking the tie and putting the
Nebraskans in the lead for the rest
of the game. "Jug" Brown was sent
in to relieve Klepser and the Nebras
ka forward started a rampage of bas
kets that soon took the Cornhusker
five up to a safe lead. Repeatedly
the Nebraskans would break through
the Bengal defense and give the ball
to "Jug" for a basket The first half
ended with the Missouri five trailing
11 to 7.
Stronger in Second Half
The second half opened with the
Nebraska five coming back stronger
than before, and with a fast and
smooth working machine soon had
the count piled up to 20 to 10 before
the Tiger five could start hitting the
late in the second half,
the team from Missouri started a
rally that almost proved disastrous
to the Nebraska five. In an attempt
to cut the lead of the Husker five, the
boys of Coach Edwards were success
ful and closed the gap from 20 to 10
to 20 to 17. Bacchus, Yunker and
Channan were hitting the basket with
uncanny regularity in the second
period.
But the Tiger rally was cut short
after they had run the score up to
23 to 21. Nebraska took time out and
Coach Black sent in Kenneth Othmer
for Brown and Tom Elliott for Page,
who had been taker from the game
on personals. The Combu6ker five
tightened and stopped the deluge of
baskets that the Mizzoa five were
sinking through the hoop.
