Cornlniskcrland gave a gn at rousing cheer to Wollin "Bud" Parsons Saturday night, and Cornhuskerland 's basket hall team responded with another upset victory, 28 to 21 over Kansas State in the last cage game of the '35 season. Parsons, competing in his last game for Nebraska, led his mates through a colorless battle for an opportunity to work their way out of the Big Six conference cellar position, and today there is a mathematical chance that Nebras ka will be fifth and not sixth when the final league tabulations are computed. The Huskers took the lead at the start of the fray, and were headed but for a few minutes near the enJ of the first half when the Wildcats forged ahead 8-9. Parsons opened the game with a dead In shot from the foul circle, one of the kind thnt go way up in the air, and then land in the netting with a welcome swish. The Kaggies came back on two baskets by Stoner and one by Frceland to go ahead, but Wahl quist came to the Scarlet rescue with a bucket and gift shot, and the game was on ice. Holding a 14-9 halftime lead, thj Cornhuskers stepped it up to 16-1 1, 20-12, and finally made it 28-14. One minute remained to play when Frank Root's quintet, tiring rap idly under the heavy going, made one last, desperate effort, and tallied 7 points to bring the final count to 28-21.

Engineers Plan Hold Annual Ball April 2t University engineering students will hold their annual ball this ear on Saturday evening, April 27. it was announced Thursday at meeting of the executive board of the engineering college. By LORAINE CAMPBELL. According to calculations, the chances of a severe shock in the mid-western section of the United States, covering an approximate area of 600.000 miles, arc one in every 20.000 years, reports Dr. A. L. Lugn of the Geology department. "Although it is not probable, it is not beyond the range of possibility that Lincoln and Omaha may some-o time be subject to a severe earth quake." The great plains region is considered bv experts in this field to be the safest in the United States, having the fewest faults, or breaks in the strata. California is the most liable to shock being literally "slivered" with structural weaknesses. "Actual earthquakes are the re sults of Increasingly intense trem ors which arise from the grinding together of the two surfaces, as they draw apart from each other. If the surfaces are smooth, there will be practically no reaction on the surface of the earth; if it is rough there will be friction the amount of which causes the varia tion of the intensity of the vibra tions as they effect the top of the earth." Tremors Widening of Fault. The tremo-s experienced Friday morning, according to Dr. Lugn. came as a result of the widening of a fault in the Nemaha under surface mountain chain In this sec tion of the country. The chain is one of the oldest known begin ning in Kansas and stretching through Nebraska. Iowa, north east Minnesota and east to the mouth of the St. Lawrence river. The ridge was not more than 500 to 1,000 feet high in the beginning; then marine waters came into the region and flooded the area. Dur ing a long period of geological time, the Paleozoic era, there were many invasions of the sea leav ing much sediment, and breaks oc curred in several places. At the close of this period, the ridge had been completely buried in mud and deposits from the sea bottom. At the same time, the (Continued on Page 2.) .)
