Minus the services of Paul Amen, regular forward, the Ne braska Cornhuskers dropped their first Big Six conference cage en counter to the Missouri Tigers, 27 18, In the university coliseum Fri day night. The Huskers were completely bottled up all evening by the fool proof defense displayed by the Bengels and when they did man age to break away for a shot they usually went wild being rushed too closely by the Tigermen. Hal Halstead and John Lobsigcr, guards who turned in crack per formances on defense were mainly responsible for holding the Husk ers to IS points, ten points less than they have scored in any one game this season. Paul Amen, who sat on the side lines most of the game was sent in late in the second half but due to NOW!!

During the closing minutes of the came when the Huskers began covering their men an over the floor they blew up and allowed the Missouri lads to work the pill In for easy set ups. Except for a 5-3 lead which they held only a couple of minutes early in the game, the Huskers never topped the Missouri team in the score column. High scorer of the game was Missouri's forward. Harvey, who raced up five field goals and three foul shots for a total of 13 points. Bill Kovanda, who replaced Amen as starter in the game, led the rest ot his teammates eight points.

A fast, aggressive frosh team handed the Nubbins their second defeat of the season, defeating them 29 to 14 in a preliminary to the varsity game with Missouri last Friday. This contest evened the score between the frosh and the Nubbins, as the B team won over the frosh in an earlier game. Duncan of the B team and Han son of the frosh tied for high point honors with eight points each. The outstanding performance of the evening was turned in by Taylor, a forward from Hastings, who dis played the best floor play and ball handling ability of any man on the floor. Taylor also accounted for six of his team's points. Pitoaith ley and Hanson for the frosh and Duncan for the Nubbins also stood out. Frosh More Aggressive. The frosh were more aggressive and showed better floor work and ball handling than did the B team The B team's score was held down by its inability to make its shots good, missing setup after setup.

MARY E. AMES, Hery., university dental eolli'ire. This letter refers to an editorial that ran last week in the Lincoln Shopping Guide. It said in no un certain terms that anyone who threw pennies was a "cross be tween a Louisiana buzzard and a common polecat." Yes, Miss Ames, that article did refer to our students. We can't ad- nit it with pride, but only out of a sense of duty. That custom de- ; velopetl a long time ago when of- ficials believed that in order to re tain a crowd for the second half i play of a basketball game, they j had to entertain the fans during ! the half-time breach of action. ! Such entertainment as pantomimes i with placards, screeching so- I pianos, and none-too-good dancers. I Some of our big city friends, see- I ing that the "artists" were not of ' the headline variety, tossed them j pennies in the absence of over ripe vegetables. Or, perhaps, they j ciiuckcu just as coppenzeu jeers, but nevertheless, chucked. Ncbrnskans, especially students, were quick to take up the habit, and the copper flow continued to increase until the coins fairly drifted on the playing floor. It was quite a spell before the waifs along the sidelines could muster , the courage to follow their natural impulses and scoop up the pen nies. Once they did, they did so in '. hordes. j The entertainment, of course, i was ruined as the screeching so pranoes would continue to screech, louder and louder above the racket of the kids and the laughs of tha crowd until, almost knocked from her feet, she would gather up her music and race off the floor. Well, from that stage it was easy. The crowd was convinced that the piling, struggling, squirm ing mass of youngsters clamoring: for pennies was more entertaining than anything the school could liiie. Hearing about the opportunity, to "pick up" some extra change, the kids seeped into the coliseum from Stock answer by witty freshmen to the "formal dinner" query was "at a formal dinner cocktails should always be served first." j NOW Mn In 13 Balcony 10 A I way III!

TICKET 'CHISELING' HITS SNAG AT MISSOURI GAME Doormen Stop Townspeople With Student Ducats At Tilt Friday. Nebraska officials, in an attempt to eliminate "chiseling" at univer sity athletic activities, issued or ders to the doormen at the Mis souri game to take up all student books when presented by those ob viously not students. In past years, the policy of needy students selling their identi fication tickets was quite wide spread, and as a result, gray haired grandfather and grand mother were gaining admittance to football and basketball games at the lower rate given to students But "those days are gone for ever," as all books are being taken up when the doormen are certain that the holder is not a student. In cases when there is any doubt, the ticket holder is asked to show his identification ticket. Failure to produce means that either one more general admission ticket is purchased or that someone goes home without having seen a game. As soon as news of the officials action spread, a rumor was circu lated that students who had sold their identification cards would be expelled from school. Many hold ers of illegal tickets lost their nerve, and did not present their tickets. 1 GREY'S I "Thunder Trail" with Chat.
