BIBLE LEARNS OF
THE PROVERBIAL
YESTERDAY HERO
Fame is fleeting.
So former athletic director D. X.
Bible discovered when he tried to
crash the Nebraska-Kansas State
basketball game last, night.
D. X. flew up to Lincoln from
downtown Lincoln from the air
port, Bible found that he had about
half an hour in which to get to the
game. Delaying only long enough
to down a bowl of soup, he hurried
over to the coliseum. n the rur.h,
li in ticket was lost so he tried to
get admission on his looks. The
ticket taker did not recognize the
former coach without his cigar
and in civilian clothes rather than
football togs, ro he flatly refused
admission. Bible announced his
name and grew persuasive but tile

Knight stands at approximate
ly 6 feet 2 inches and weighs
close to 100. He runs a breezy
hundred and plunges like tons of
dynamite. His punting and pass

booting average is a mite better
than Francis' junior average.
In basketball ho is two years

in the state.

7,000 Spectators Watch the
Huskers Halt Kaggie
Victory String.
By Ed Steeves.
A roaring frenzied mob of 7,000
cage fans, second largest crowd in
cage history, seeped into every
crevice of Memorial coliseum to
watch Nebraska topple Kansas
State 40-37 in a two reel thriller.
The second feature of the double
bill included Coach L. M. "Biff
Jones' formal presentation to his
Nebraska fold.
By eking out the Kaggies the
Huskers remain in the second place
tie with Oklahoma, who last night
matched the Scarlet win by wal
loping Iowa State. Kansas still re
mains out in front with a single de
feat to the Husker's and Sooner's
pair apiece.
Taking to the floor with a height
advantage over the Huskers the
Wildcats showed early intentions
of continuing their Big Six vic
tory avalanche. The first half was
all theirs by decision, leading 19
16 in points. Two men made their
entire attack and they were the
expected Groves and Klimek, with
14 and 12 points respectively.
Groves is probably the neatest
maple figure seen on the Husker
hardwood this season.
Ebaugh Shines.
Ebaugh was easily the outstand
ing man of the evening, even tho
his points appear shabby next to
those of Parsons and Amen. It was
he who had to shadow the great
Groves on the defense and then
shake him on the offense. It was
probably one of the greatest games
of his career. Amen came in for
at least his share of the honors,
especially on the offensive end. In
times of stress he looked best,
compiling 16 of the neatest points
garnered in the entire fray.
Groves showed his prowess from
the start as he snatched the tipoff
honors from Ebaugh by a wrist
and within two minutes had broken
the scoring ice with a one hand
push shot. Parsons added a free
toss and a swisher to put the Husk
ers in one of those infrequent
leads of the first half. Ebaugh
boosted tallies to 4-2 and Amen
and Game Captain Hale outpoint
ed Klimek's swisher for a 7-2
Husker advantage.
Kansas State, worrying a bit,
called time. Groves pulled his
mates up and then put them ahead
late in the heckling first half Wild
cat lead. Ebaugh's and Sorensen's
hoopings were outnumbered by
those of Groves, Klimek and Pop
penhouse in the ensuing few min
utes at the Cats hit a dizzy pace.
Klimek and Groves did a scoring
duet in the death bed moments of
the first canto to run way out
ahead 19-15. A swisher by Parsons
that was dangling in midair as the
gun went off was the most dra
matic moment of the entire con
ference affair.
Present Jones.
Between halves, "Biff" Jones
was presented by Former Coach D.
X. Bible mid the clicking and the
flashing of cameras and the stir
ring ovation of the university stu
dents and the R. O. T. C. band.
Facing a 16-19 disadvantage at
the start of the second half, the
Brownemen staged one of the most
spine tickling rallies ever. One fan
audibly remarked that it was the
first time he had ever seen Ne
braska fans stand thruout an en
tire period of basketball, but even
the meekest could not hold their
sitting posture as Nebraska went
point mad.
Klimek scored first, but Ebauffh
matched it. Wesche came thru
with a high archer for the Ag
gies, but Amen oiled up his ever
sure right arm and took turns
with Parsons tossing them thru
the bleachers. In the tenseness of
the situation. Parsons fouled and
Wesche tied the score.
Parsons chucked in a charity
for another slim one point margin
and Baker, in for Hale, slopped
one of the season's most uncon
scious shots. This tally fetched
the Scarlet into a permanent lead,
tho Klimek tied the count at 30
all with six minutes to go.
Parsons Out On Fouls.
Parsons fouled out and Husker
backers lost confidence, but Lit
tle Alton Werner, a sophomore,
soon brought inflation into their
hearts as he untied the statistics
with a clean Jump-turn bucket.
Amen collected a gratis flip as
Groves pulled up to 33-32.
With four minutes to go and
another tangled score, 33 to 33,
Ebaugh, Amen, and Baker went to
work and piled up those final 40
points. Kansas State fought till
the last with Wesche scoring twice
in the final minute of play, his
last basket coming in the final 30
seconds.
Many of the 7,000 walking ex
itward expressed belief that the
Huskers played over their head in
the last canto, but Browne be
lieved they had merely found
themselves. Kansas State, badly
bitten by the jinx bug all aeaaon,
would be a serious contender, were
the season to start now. Last week
they handed the Kansas Jayhawks
their first conference defeat in
three years. Nebraska meets the
Jays on the 27th of this month.

To dress the Kansas Jayhawks
is the present aim of Coach Henry
Schulte's indoor trackmen. On Feb.
20, Preceptor Bill Hargiss is
scheduled to bring his K. U. track
sters here for a clash with the ;
Huskers. To erase all laziness that ;
might be present in his perform- j
ers, the genial track ecliiier noid
a varsity tryout Friday under the
east stadium.
Little but speedy, these two ad-
jectives summed up Marvin Plock's ,
showing in the 50 and 60 yard i
dashes. In garnering a triumph in !
the 50 yard event, Plock nosed out
Dick Fischer, varsity lettcrman, '
by three inches and was clocked ,
in :0.V6. Robert Simmons. ex-Lincoln
high sprinter, gained a third
in this race, which was very gond j
in view of the fact that he was '
matching; strides with runners of j
high ability. j
Out to atone for his defeat in
the 50 yard sprint. Dirk Fischer j
