The Husker mentor thougnt that his boys should have done better, but, in view of the fact that Hage lin had to use six sophomores who were swim ming in their first intercolle giate meet, the team made a fine showing, p artlcularly outstanding was the fight put up by Fletcher Splcer who came up with Nebraska Drops Chance at Title By Sooner Loss Huskers Take Short Drill Monday in Preparation For Return Game.

Nebraska's Cornhusker basket ball team, now definitely out of the picture as far as conference cham pionship is concerned, took a short workout against the freshmen squad last night in preparation for their game Wednesday night with the Oklahoma Sooners. On Satur day they travel to Columbia, Mo., to tangle with the. Tigers for the second time this season. As the squad worked out last night, lanky Klmer Dohrmann was occupying the forward spot oppo site veteran 1'aul Amen. All dur ing the season Bill Kovanda and Grant Thomas have been alternat ing as starters at the position but Dohrmann stepped nut on the re cent trip and otitshincd his two younger rivals. Lloyd Grimm was in Al Wer ner's regular guard position when Werner failed to attend practice because of a slight cold. He will probably be on the court Wednes day against Oklahoma. Working on the second five last night were Dow Wilson and Grant Thomas, forwards; Bob Elliott, center; Bill Kovanda and Frank Tallman, guards. NORMAN. Whether the Uni versity of Oklahoma's "kid" bas ketball team is just a strong suph omore aggregation that will not reach its greatest development until the next two seasons, or is powerful enough right now to win or tie for the Big Six champion ship will be largely determined this week. Coach Hugh McDermott's team will travel to Lincoln, Neb., for a crucial return game Wednesday with Coach Harold Browne's Ne braska Cornhuskers in a contest that should draw more than 7,000 people. Meanwhile Coach MoDcrmott is giving his reserves an exhaustive schooling in the Sooner quick breaking style and also the Sooner screening maneuvers so that Ok lahoma will have adequate man power for the strenuous action ahead. "This Oklahoma kid club of Mac's is by far away the fastest basketball team I ever tried to stay up with in my 16 years of basketball officiating," panted John B. Old, one of the officials at the Kansas Stale-Oklahoma basketball game at Norman last Monday night as he relaxed in the official's dressing room after the conflict. Y.W.C.A.

HUSKER MERMEN DROP DUAL SIM TILE 10 GOPHERS Minnesota Squad Splashes To Victory With 53 Point Lead. Gymnasts Meet Gopher, Hawkeye Teams Tonight The Nebraska gymnastics team will compete with tear is from Iowa and Minesota in a triangular meet tonight at Iowa City, iowa. The Nebraska squad will he made up of Roy Prodffitt, Tete Kreisch er, Bill Leask, Donald Glass and Gaius Cadwell. The Iowa squad won the Big Ten championship in gymnastics Inst year. With six inexperienced sopho mores and one senior, Nebraska was unable to cope with the pow erful Minnesota splash squad, and lost the dual swimming meet yes terday 64 to 11. A very small crowd with little enthusiasm watched as Minnesota took first in all nine events an4 allowed Nebraska only two second places in the entire meet, the rest of Nebraska's points being con fined to third places. Credit to Hagelin. Credit must be given to Coach Hagelin for whipping these sopho mores into shape for their first in tercollegiate meet. Fletcher Spicer, Nebraska dash man, looked espe cially good. Had he not eased up and coasted to the finish in the 220 free style event, Spicer would have maintained his lead and beat out Phillips of Minnesota. Dick Leask was also outstanding on the Nebraska team but he was unable to outdrive Klun of Minnesota, who took sixth in the National Inter collegiate Swimming meet last year in diving. WW II 9 57 owes vsrmere (1 JUI urn ma in is Judgment John L. Pinnix Independent Ware' houseman is one of many tobacco experts who prefer Luckies. . . IN THE warehouses Mr. Pinnix has managed in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, 46,000,000pounds of tobaccohave been sold. Farmers travel many miles to bring their crops to Mr. Pinnix's warehouse for sale. Reason is that they respect his tobacco experience and business integrity. So surely Mr. Pinnix's views are worth your respect, too. "At every market I've ever attended," says Mr. Pinnix, "Lucky Strike has bought the ripest, mellowest tobacco offered. That's why I've smoked Luckies ever since I first became a warehouseman 20 years ago." Mr. Pinnix's statement is borne out by sworn records which show that, among independent tobacco experts auctioneers, buyers, and ware housemen Luckies have over twice as man v exclusive smok- ,: ers as nave au tne otner . u. -.,!
