Nebraska's basketball team ends
Its spring practice tonight as
Coach Browne sends his Red squad
against the Whites in the third
and last practice game of the year.
It will be Brownie's last look at
the team until the first part of
December, since as chief Husker
scout and end coach he spends
all fall with the football team.
Browne has extended an invi
tation to one and all to watch the
Huskers in the game which will
be played on the freshman court
starting at 8 o'clock.
v . One of his moves seems to bode
well for the Huskers next winter.
Harry Pitcaithley, guard last year,
is playing forward, and has been
burning up the court this spring.
Harry was slow in developing last
year, altho he turned in a great
game at guard in the Oklahoma
game, last of the sea.'wn. Possessed
with unusual speed, Pitcaithley fits
in beautifully with a speeded up
Husker offense. Browne, having a
number of good tall boys for guard
positions, felt he could spare Pit
for the front line, and the move
has more than brought results.
Noticed our Huskers really
went to town against Iowa
State's baseballers yesterday,
16-5. The boys won 10-5 the day
before. . .those fellows who died
on base against Kansas must be
going thru some sort of a resur
rection. . .that's four in a row
for the Huskers... but the boys
will really be facing two tough
ones next week end when they
go against Oklahoma.
Orris Gran, Minnesota Daily
sports columnist, says that the
Gophers have more speedy backs
on the spring squad than Bernie
Bierman has ever had at Minne
sota... He names George Franck,
Joe Jabbra, men from last year,
and freshmen Bruce Smith, Joe
Mernik, Mike O'Bradovich, Art
Rebrovitch, Bob Teyro...We don't
know about any of them but
Franck, but any big man who can
run the 100 and 220 like the Dav
enport, la, sprinter, certainly can
qualify as a speedster.... Notice
Nebraska' Iowa brigade the
baseball team, had quite a time at
Ames Monday. . .This time it was
Tom Moates, a Red Oak boy, who
got four hits in five times at bat
...Dow Wilson carried the Husk
ers thru the K. U. series, the Dow
City player having a perfect day
at bat after winning the first game
wim a home run....
Debus, St. Cyr
to renew duel
at state meet
Nebraska U. fans will see two
of the state's finest high school
athletes among those fighting it
out Friday and Saturday for high
point honors in the state high
school track meet as Howard
Debus of Lincoln and Louis St
Cyr of the Winnebago Indiana re
nevr a duel which began at Sat
urday Hastings meet. The boys
will not be competing in the same
classes, tho.
Both Debus and St. Cyr scored
15 points in individual events but
the 150 pound Indian accounted
for 14 point as he ran with his re
lay team, so came out with a frac
tion higV-r score.
Has fine discus mark.
Debus, throwing the lighter 1L
rus, has turned in the state's best
