ARKANSAS QUINTET
BY 41 TO 24
Veteran Razorbacks Outplay
Huskers in First Tilt
Of Cage Season.
By Burt Marvin.
A cool headed band of court
veterans from Arkansas invaded
the Nebraska cage court Friday
night and walked off with a 41
to 24 victory over the Cornhuskers,
in the first game of the season.
The losers piled up an early lead
in the first ten minutes of play,
but the Ozark cagers came from
behind a 12 to 4 lead to tally on a
stting of underbasket shots by Jim
Sexton and lead at the intermis
sion. 25 to 12. .
The most outstanding feature of
the tilt was the calm ball hand
ling and passing on the part of
the visitors, Coach Bassetfs men
performing in an unhurried fash
ion befitting a group of veterans
playing together for their third
consecutive year.
Before the contest was very old
the Huskers were off to a fine
start when Walt Henrion accounted
for a couple of nice shots before
the Razorbacks could manage to
tally. Following Captain Ken
dall's score on a free shot George
Sauer broke into the scoring col
umn from under the basket, and
swished the net
from the side. Sexton then scored
with his first underbasket setup on
his list for the evening:, and Tom
Murphy, with a free shot, made the

Tide Now Turns.
Then the tide turned. Immedi
ately following Paul Mason's de
parture from the game due to
iniuries sustained in a hard fall,
the Browne five which previously
looked like an inspired ball club,
bogged down, and at the same time
the visitors flashed an offensive
power which carried them through
a, rally which netted a string or zi
points, the Huskers being held
scoreless. During this spree Jim
Sexton, the husky southern all
conference center, bagged six field
goals from under the basket and
one free throw, with Kendall and
Murphy taking care of the re
maining scoring.
Coming back in the remaining
twenty minutes the Scarlet and
Cream basketeers did a much bet
ter job defensively, with the in
vaders outscoring them only 16 to

underbasket roll in the Arkansas
ofensive, but didn't meet with the
success experienced by his mate in
the initial period.

Small Instrument Measures Heat of
Stars Accurately, Astronomer Says
Heat of stars which have no
more effect on the earth than a
candle placed 100 miles away can
be measured to a reasonable de
gree of accuracy, according to Dr.
Seth B. Nicholson who gave a
number of talks in Lincoln Friday.
Dr. Nicholson is attached to the
Mount Wilson observatories.
At an open meeting Friday eve
ning of the Nebraska chapter of
Sigma Xi, Doctor Nicholson ex
plained how he and a Nebraska
co-worker, Dr. Edison Pettit, form
erly of Peru, had worked out the
process. Some of the stars mea
sured by the men have about the
same heat effect cn the entire
United States that the sunlight
would have on a single square yard
of the earth Nicholson declared.
The heat from the stars is
measured thru the use of 'thermo
couples," a tiny forked instrument
upon which the heat of the star is
registered. The point of concentra
tion is a tiny bit of tin and bismuth
alloy, about the size of a 1-1,000

TO PRESENT CONCERT
School of Music Croup to
Play at St. PauVs
Sunday Night.
Th srhnol of music symphony
orchestra will present a concert at
the St. Paul M. E. church Sunday
evening at 7:45. The concert, to
be slightly over an hour long, is
under the direction of Prof. C. F.
Steckelberg of the school of mu
sic. In commenting on the numbers
to be presented, Professor Steckel
berg said that the feature of the
nrncram would be Haydn's Sym
phony No. 7, scored without clari
net. The fact that tne sympnony
is scored vithout clarinet has an
interesting history, according to
Steckelberg. Haydn and his nost
at a concert were enraged by the
fact that the first clarinet player
inserted a very floral cadenza in
one of Haydn s sympnonies. Mayan,
in order to show the gentleman
how beautiful a symphony could be
without a clarinet, wrote this mu
sic without clarinet.

Doctor Nicholson estimates that
their computations for each star
are always within ten degrees of
the actual temperature, the vari
ances being caused by conditions
of the earth's atmosphere.
Doctor Nicholson had been sche
duled for a university convocation
Friday morning, but due to faulty
train connections, he arrived in
town barely in time to attend a
luncheon given in his honor at the

his scheduled morning adress at

great advancements made down
thru the ages in the development
of knowledge of the earth and the
universe of which it is a part.

Physical Education Groups
Plan Ice Event After
Winter Vacation.
An all university ice and skating
carnival will be held shortly after
Christmas vacation on some pond
near Lincoln, to be designated in
near future, according to LaVerle
Herman, president of the W. A. A.
This winter sporting event was
originally planned as a part of the
women's sports, but the W. A. A.
decided to secure the support of
the men rnd make the event an
all university frolic, on a much
larger scale than the women could
otherwise sponsor independently.
A building in which the spec
tators and skaters can warm them
selves will be provided and re
freshments will be available. Ex
hibitions of fancy and figure skat
ing are being arranged as a part
of the entertainment. Music will
be transmitted thru amplifiers.
All arrangements so far have
been handled by the W. A. A. com
mittee including Marion Smith,
chairman, Hllene Haxthausen and
Maxine Packwood. This commit
tee is supervised by Miss Clarice
McDonald, W. A. A. sponsor.
Rudy Vogler, head of men's in
tramural sports will appoint a
committee and head the arrange

staging the event.
