THREE
WELL?' ASKS
CORNHUSKERLAND.
lirownemen to
Attempt Answer
Tonight vs. Mizzou.
By Arnold Levin.
Well? What's the question hang
lng fire over Cornhuskerland. Just
"weI17"
On the face of the matter, it
doesn't seem like such a very big
question to arouse the interest of
all Cornhuskerland. But it isn't
,xnly a question. It's an expression
of opinion, a desire, even more
than that, it's a demand,
It's a demand on W, H. Browne's
basketball team. A demand to
know Just what they're going to
ao in tne Big six hoop wars be
ginning in the coliseum tonight.
What's It Gonna Be?
After Nebraska cleaned up on
a tew or me early season non-con
ference opposition the fans raised
championship howls, perennial
threats to Cornhusker athletic
teams. But after the hoopsters hit
the toboggan a few times on their
coast trip the fans began being
sKepucai. Ana the first sign
of being skeptical is a demand to
show something or other or else.
And so everyone's klnda - frown
ing, wondering and savinir "well?"
what're-ynu-gnin'-to-do manner at-
fhe basketball team.
If Browne's tribe is In any way
frightened, they're fooling every
body, because you'd never know it.
Bad medicine to feed Missouri to
night has been prepared all week
tfith no paramount importance at
ached to the opening of the con
ference season. The boys are dead
earnest, willing, and full of the old
college fight and vigor.
Mizzou Shows Power.
Missouri served notice she isn't
to be taken at all lightly by edg
ing Oklahoma, the team everyone
was watching several weeks ago.
The Sooners were purportedly
tough, but a Tiger proved tougher.
What that Tiger may or may not
do to the .rest of the Bie- Siv
league opposition will be deter
mined largely tonight.
For that reason, this game
nieans much to Nehiasifa Mi.,
comes with a reputation. Ne
braska is as yet untried in the
conference. The Huskers are out
to gain a reputation, shed a little
glory on themselves, and there's
strong possibility that they'll do
John Edwards' team rates as a
potentially great defensive outfic.
W. H. Browne's is a high scoring
unit. When defense and offense
eet on the football field, the ex
perts say its the defensive team
that nine times out of ten will
come out on top. There is no such
luie ior Dasketball, but it will take
all of the Brownemen's speed to
" rniop ior a victory.
Winter Snorts.
The usual routine of winter in
tercollegiate sports on the campus

ably so, by the W.A. A r.

Now ice skating is much fun.
Just so much fun to go whirling
Ofrer the mirror-like ice on run
ners of flashing steel as the poet
says. It's not such a thrill when
you move one quaking knee three
incnes in iront of the. other, at
tempt to pivot to find where the
other foot's gone to and land ker
smack on that minor-like ex
panse. Then you wish it were more
pillow-like.
But it's bound to be a great
time. The W. A. A. is taking all
the pains (except thoje accrued
ker-smacking the ice) to make it
so. There's even going to be hot
lunches for souls who tire or who
haven't yet and don't intend to try
the ice. 4
Use of the pill'ow-checking-out
booth goes as an essential con
committant of the tickets, which
are free.
Attendees will have an oppor
tunity, somewhat rare in Lincoln,
to view a hockey game. The most
thrilling of sports it has been
called, and rightly so.
Hockey is a conglomeration of
all the excitement you find in all
other sports. .Speed, thrills, ac
curacy, spills, all go to make the
stick and puck game huge in
every respect. And when two
bruisers start whacking at each
other with their heavy sticks, it's
more than huge, it's positively
gargantuous.
Anyway, to get back to where
we started from in this discourse,
there's going to be a hockey ex
hibition, which is something. And
there are going to be stunt races j
na exnioitions, which is some
thing more. As you all must agree.
To be somewhat Delphic, it
looks like a big time ahead. Me,
I like the fireplace, too.
Collegian Car to
Be Awarded at End
Of Search Tonight
A wheezy Buick touring car of
1927 vintage, decorated with the
collegiate motif and appropriate
slogans, will become the property
of some Nebraska student at the
end of a city wide car hunt to
night. Sponsored by the Dally
Nebraskan, Stuart Theatre, and
Hompes Tire Co. in conjunction
with the presentation of the
motion picture "Collegiate," the
Contest requires nothing besides
discovering the car. By display
ing an Identification carl to the
man at the wheel, the finder will
receive the title, keys, and enough
gas to get home.
According to Cooper Smith,
representative of the sponsoring
organizations, the car really runs.
Cooper Smith, who will be the
"man behind the wheel." when the
car Is found, will display the "lame-o-zene"
In front of the Stuart
Theatre. Hompes, and the Nebras
kan office Friday afternoon. The
hunt will begin at nine o'clock at
jnlght, and all college students,
coeds and Joes alike, are eligible
to participate.
From a survey of coeds at Lind
say college, In Ontario, Canada, it
1 learned that only one of all the
tnrolled women has the ambition
to become "a good wife for some
man." Others chose "careers," with
teaching at the top of the list.

TRY OUT FOR VARSITY
Coach Adam Optimistic With
Addition of Shafer,

Coach Adam sports a face-load
of cheery smiles this week as he
contemplates two welcome add!

Shafer, 118 pound state high school

toward bigger and better grins
with the announcement that he
would be eligible for the second
semester. Bob Hunt, 165 lb. vet
eran of former Husker teams ar.l
a student ofthe old school" re
turned to practice this week, as
the latest development, adding an
other expansive wrinkle to Jerry's
countenance and brighter hopes to
the Husker mat team.

Like creditors stick to your cor
respondent the ball sticks to the
palms of those unentangled Ethio
pions. Such feats as throwing the
ball east and having it tiavel west
are among their tricks. Another Is
faking shooting and handing the
ball with their elbows. There Is no
team in the country that could not
profit by a few lessons from the
trotters, as they maneuver the ball
until a man is left clear on the free
throw line with time enough to
toss one from the charity line un
hampered for two points. Slmul

manipulated constant patter and
singing Is employed, thus provid'

As the game progresses, a cou
pie of the duiky lads may tire,
consequently they depart from the
floor, leaving only three colleagues
to carry on. Another play is to
line up on the court in baseball
formation with, of course, the op
ponents lining up in similar man
ner for defense. The man who
poses as pitcher, winds up slowly,
uncoils swiftly, and let one fly
down the makeshift alley. The
foe, bewildered by such goingson,
flees from the path of the speed

This produces no more mirth than
a pair of other tricks during play
ing time; one is playing with one
man rrounted on another's shoul
ders and the other, all five play
ing on their knees. In either posi
tion the ball is intangible by op
ponents. Of the quintet, two are from uni
versities and others are from high
school teams, none have had much
previous training on the maples,
yet all would now be qualified to
play under the banners of any of
the best teams in the world. But
they like this life, this globe trot-
ltlng business. They play an aver
age of 200 games a season, one
every night. It is estimated that a
front line man traverses over five
to ten miles per game, thus giving
the boys no small amount of
mileage. A pair of shoes last them
barely a month.

Twenty-two years is the top age
of the five, but his identification
was not made known. No one ever
tries to make a distinction between
them on the floor, because it is
both difficult because of their sim
ilarity in appearance and playing
style and because they desire that
it be so. After a good share of
Lincoln had witnessed the five
bony lads known only as Hudson,
King, Burns, Morrison, and Brooks 1
glide on the floor with error-1
less agility the white hope har-
rangue sprang back to the tongues
or the local sport minded.

gKETCHES
It is not coincident that the
star of last season's maple quintet
has the same last name as the one
of the present, for they are broth
ers; neither is this coincidence.
Yes, Becky, Bud Parsons is a full
blooded brother of Robert Clifford
Parsons, the present man of the
sports desk. Bud is also the idol
of his young successor.
The legendary silver spoon was
replaced at Bob's birth by a cage
pellet and the little fellow has
been Inseparable with the trinket
ever since. In high school, Lincoln
high, he was the major reason for
his alma mater's basketball con
quests, being high scorer for his
school, the state, and the Missouri
valley league If you have not
seen a daily periodical for the last
month it will be necessary for me
to inform you that at present
young Robert is constantly in
print and has dusted the net for a
total of seventy-eight points in
eight games, which if my higher
calculus hasn't failed me, averages
approximately ten points per con
flict. In my feeble mind, this
justifies his gratis advertising by
local sports commentators, and
also his two year all state rating
of prep school days.
To this story a Ripely flavor,
Bob is a mere sophomore, twenty
years old, and decidedly uncon
cenred about the discussion. The
young guard is good looking; girls
say so too, but few ever get a
close scrutinizing gaze, for he
would rather be, and usually, is
surrcunder by a gang of male
companions. He likes parties, but
attends few, yet he claims he
trains little (Browne, do not read).
The ambition of this rangy
blond is as his present, basket
ball. Following his honorary dis
charge from the university he will
tutor other desirious athletes. Be
sides Bud and Bob, there is Bob's
twin Nate. He, too, is a hoop
artist but his interest in the game
surges at a lower ebb. Tho trio
are members of Delta Tau Delta.
On the tour of the country.
Bob was inspired to goose flesh
on several occasions. The high
spot of the trip was New Years
eve in San Francisco. "Confetti
'n noise 'n everything," described
Bob. The teams beds were vacant
until four a . m.
He elects Stanford as the tough
est team, but Santa Clara as the
most perplexing to play against.
No alibis were offered directly.
yet be was of the conviction that
had Nebraska and the westehn
team's ideas of the rules had bet
ter coincided, the Huskers would
have fared better.

Farm Official From Canada
Discusses Agriculture
Thursday.
Duncan Marshall, former live
stock breeder and feeder of Al
berta Canada and present minister
of agriculture in Ontario, Canada,
was the guest speaker of the Block
and Bridle club, honorary animal
husbandry organization, at a
breakfast Thursday morning.
The speaker stated that Cana
dian agriculture is not unlike the
farming practices followed In Ne
braska. He said that crops are
raised as far as 1,200 miles north
of here and that the further north
crops can be grown the better
quality they will be.
"Weather in Canada is not us
ually as we think of it in the
states," he emphasized. "Winds
warm the country for more than
a week at a time making the tem
perature as high as 60 degrees
in January. Crops are adapted to
shorter summer conditions."
