Season Basketball Tickets Are Reduced in Price, Dispatch Says. NORMAN, Dec. 14. Basketball season tickets sold the public to University of Oklahoma games will be cheaper this year, Ben G. Owen, the Sooner athletic director, has decided. A $1 slash from last year's re duced price for the season ticket was announced today by Owen. The new season ticket will cost but 4 and will admit its purchaser to a reserved seat in the choicest location of the Fieldhouse balcony at each of the eight home games the Sooner cagers play this sea son. Last, year tickets sld for $5. Owen also pointed out that pur chasers of tie $7.50 football sea son ticket last fall may buy the new season basketball ducat for only $1.50, as a $2.50 premium for a basketball season ticket is at tached to each football season ticket. There will be no charge in last 3-ear's reduced scale on prices to individual games, Owen said. These prices are $1 for box seats, 75 cents for reserved seats, and 50 cents for general admi"Fion loca lions. In 1928. 1929 and 1930 these tliree types of seat sold for $2, SI 50 and $1 respectively. Announcement of a new $3 stu dent season athletic ticket, good only for all remaining home atl- leuc contests played by Soone teams this year, was also made by Owen.

Nebraska's 1931 foot.a.ll te?m ranked high anions- the other teams in the country according to the rankings made by Azzi Ratem In his system of rating elevens. Tulane. Tennessee and Southern California were given higher rat ings than the Cornhusker?. The Azzi Ratem method gives a grade between 52 and 196 for every conference game played. The grade is based upon whether the game was won, lost or tied, the strength of the opponent and, to a limited degree, the difference in score. Teams who do not play in a regular conference were Lot rated. thus eliminating elevens like No tre Dame and Pittsburgh. Only conference games are counted.

The Nebraskan Editor in his editorial of the same issue titled his com ment as "That Farce Called Foct ball." It seems as if this fight against the country's greatest sport has gone about far enough. Only on one condition should it be contin ued. If, Mr. Von Seggern, you can give some feasible plan to either replace football oj to make a change in the game which will, in your opinion, better it, you will have a right to continue your at tack. If not, then it should be stopped. Up to now the Editor has given a great deal of opinion but no facts. You have named no evil which, in my estimation, war rants a change in tne Cornhusker athletic policy. Your claims have been based either upon hearsay or idie chatter.

Remember. Mr. Editor, the best place for criticism to begin is at home. Herman Bogott. freshman in the school of Journalism wrote to this department in defense of football. Regarding the number of deaths. Bogott says: "Deaths occur in all sports. Occasionally a golf ball causes a fatality. Swimming claims its share with occasional drownings. Baseball has casual ties, in fact, what game doesn't have them? Why condemn foot ball any more than other sports? Some may say the reasons for the deaths are different, but I be lieve they are the same, namely, carelessness and ignorance." Bogott's reasons are as good as any that have been advanced so far, and his reasoning in regard to keeping the game in spite of the deaths is above questioning. Hls opinion, is, 1 think, represen- tative of the majority of people in the entire country. Nebraska's showing against South Dakota Saturday in the opening basketball game of the season was exceptionally good considering the new men in varsity competition for the first time. The Huskers will probably lose a few more games this season, but not many after the regular season gets under way. Paul North Rice, doing special business for the co-operative cata logue committee of the American Library association, visited Gilbert Doane, university librarian, during the past week.

Free Delivery Quick Service Open Til Midnite 16th AO B4423 8.30 AMES CACH SELECTS FIRST GAME LINEUP Starters Named for Initia Tilt With Brigham Young School of Utah. MORMONS HAVE RECORDS AMES. Ia., Dec. 14. Four vet eian Iowa State oasketball play ers will be in the lineup when the Cyclones open their cage schedule here Tuesday night against the highly touted team from Brigham Young university. The fifth man will either be a sophomore or an other letterman from last year, CoacL Louis E. Menze said today in giving out his lineup. Jark Roadcap, captain, and high scorer in the Big Six last year, will team up with Ralph Thomson at the forward posts. Al Heitman. two year veteran at center, will be at the pivot position, and Max ! Rieke wi.n take,rhis d Place a'a- Euher Vincent Jones, at a sophomore and numeral winner last year, or Herman Holmes, a I major letter man, will be at the other guard position, with Jones the favorite to start. The Mormons are coming to Iowa State on their second eastern invasion in two years. Last year they bowled over every team they met on their trip with the excep tion of Michigan State, to whom they lost by one point. To date they have played seven games and prior to the game Friday night with Wisconsin they had taliied 275 points for an average of 55 points per game. Saturday they met Loyola university in Chicago. The Cyclones will be handi capped against the Mormons in that they are playing their first game, while the invaders will have the advantage of having played sevt-n games. Coach Menze is confident his men are going to break the high scoring spree of the Utah team and refuses to let the scoring records of the Mormons scare him. He is, however, mindful of the position Brigham Young holds in the west. Known throughout the Rocky Mountain conference area as the "40 points or no pay" sys tem. Coach Ott Romney's style of play produces plenty of scores. His teams copped three Rocky Moun tain conterence titles at Montana State and he produced two All- Americans in Cat Thompson and Frank Ward. Since Romney started coaching in that confer ence he has never failed to have the high point man of the league. i tfi Cfjristmas dinner V 8 8 8 8 Christmas Specials From Our Basement Groceryteria Christmas Oranges hartf'-, .sweet, juicy, Dozen 33c Soft Shell Walnuts Largest size grown. .1 Lbs. for $1 Special Food Boxes Send this gift to a needy family! 13 cans of assorted vegetables in a Holiday 41 package Sf Deiirrred Anvuherr in j Lincoln QudgeOirsnzel Go w GAMES HUSKERS BOOK T Charley Black Announces First Squad Cut; 17 Remain on Varsity. MONDAY SESSION HEAVY Browne's Frosh Teams Give Regulars Trouble in Active Practice. With two important nonconfer- ence games in Uie offing, coacn Charley Black is taking advantage of last Saturday's disclosures to mould his green material into shape for the rest of the season's games. Saturday s opener against the stiff competition of South Dakota turned out to be too much lor the Huskers, but it gave Coach Black an opportunity to spot the men who will be kept on his varsity squad. Seventeen players remained after the reduction and were is sued varsity equipment. They were: Forwards: Kenneth Lunney, Walter Henrion, George Sauer, Kurt Lenser, Art Mauch, Frank Crum, Herman Levinson, and Charles Scheinost. Centers: Wallas Norton, Dawson Wischmeier, and Bob Lackey. Guards: George Koster, Taul Mason, Herbert Hartley, Mutt Davison and Madison Letts. Monday night's practice was an active one, with the Huskers work ing on the variable form of a man for man defense that was used against Missouri so well last year. The two teams on the floor during this period of practice were com posed of Henrion. Lunney, Norton, Alason, and Davison on the defen sive lineup, and Crum. Scheinost, Lackey, Morley, and Scott taking the offensive. Frosh Scrimmage Regulars. Coach Brown rounded rp two lively teams of freshmen that both ered the regulars considerably in a fast scrimmage. On one division of the varsity were Lenser and Davison, forwards: Letts and Mauch, guards; and Norton, cen ter. On the other red shirted team were Henrion and Hartley, for wards: Mason and Sauer, guards: and Wischmeier, center. Errors made last Saturday night wvre brought to light and the correct formations were drilled on. George Sauer, who is gradually dropping his football tactics, saw much service at the guard position lasi night and showed up excep tionally weij. Dutch Koster, veteran trUard, was kept from scrimmage by an injured finger. While the Husker hoopsters are meeting the Brigham xoung qumiei rnursdav and the Iowa Hawkeyes Saturday, Koster ana justice, .Nebraska's contribu tions to the West team, will be on their way to encounter the East team in their big charity battle at oa.n rrancisco.
