Squad Is First Hurdle on Husker Basket Clubs Home Schedule Nebraska's current cage ma chine, intact and conditioned, will bow in the 1940-41 campaign Fri day night against South Dakota State in the Coliseum. Mentor Ad Lewandowski's courtsters will tune up for the Sodak fray today when they swap shots with the frosh squad in a regulation battle. Husker fans can see the seasonal preview tilt by manning the bleachers at 4:30. South Dakota Tough. If past performance can be held valid, the Scarlet and Cream flippers will find South Dakota anything but an early sDason "pushover." Last year's Sodak club forced the Huskers to a hair line 40-39 overtime decision. Husker courtsters vouched after the campaign had closed that the Sodaks had given them their toughest battle. Good news drifted to the Husker layout yesterday when it was learned that Hartman Goetze, cen ter choice, had been deferred from a draft until completion of his chemical course. Goetze has been Lewandowski's choice to replace the elongated Al Rand.ill as first-, call Husker pivot. j. Indiana Next.

Indiana, perennial mag net for Uncle Sam's top prep cag ers, ranked with the top teama in the nation last year. Reports from Bloomington indicate that the Hoosiers again have a barn burner. Kentucky, another mecca for bright young cagers, will play host to the touring Huskers Tuesday night. Mentor Lewandowski is ex pected to reveal his traveling squad following today's exhibition fracas. Rho Chi Elects Dr. J. A. Burt National Head J. B.

Maxey who received his M. A. degree from the university last August. first day of January as scheduled is the right one to make... Even when a country is in war, there must be a normal outlet and it is our opinion that a bowl gai e would provide that outlet... The University of Nevada had to change its plans... They were scheduled to sail Thursday to play the University of Hawaii. Final Doings. The Big Six faculty advisers imd athletic managers finally wound up their talks and announced that they would postpone some of the other matters until the spring meeting on May 22 and 23.. .They did set some dates and receive some announcements before clos ing up shop. FOLLOW THE CROWD TO LIBERTY BARBER SHOP 131 N. 13 Final Resume Of Season's Last Gaines KANSAS STATE. That Indiana downfall must have started something. Against little Kansas State, the mighty Huskers once more dipped their banner dipped it so low that it was ground into the quagmire that the hosts called a football field. Final score was 6-12. A Little Ashamed. On our bcoks Kansas deserved to win. This is the one defeat that actually mars the season. Oh yes, Jerry Kathol got his leg bro ken in this contest which made a hero of little Mike Zeleznak for his 66 yard run. We were glad to get back on the train for home for at any rate the migration it self was successful. MINNESOTA. Running into the northern giants, the down but not out Husk ers got a chance to play the game that they had been thinking ubout down at Manhattan. They did sev eral important things that day as they showed the experts that a Nebraska team never quits. The Gophers had the largest margin of victory over the Huskers, 9-0. Juniors Star. , The winners were force-i to the air to gain the touchdown and then they secured the win by a field goal attempt. Wayne Blue, back and Marvin Thompson, end got their first starting assignment of the year and turned in games that were given special notice by Bernie Bierman. Thompson was named on the Gopher all-opponent team. PITTSBURGH. The defeatist attitude had really hit the fellows. Gosh, for three quarters my two bits on Nebraska was O. K. and then the Panthers with a fellow named Edgar Jones at the tiller drove to a tying touch down. Well, I wouldn't lose the two bits anyway. Then with 30 seconds left Jones intercepted I nd streaked 70 yards for a touchdown and added the extra point. Jones Shiftiest. The Huskers got the ball for one more play and Jones intercepted again and was off to the 3 yard line. For speed and deception, he was not bettered all season. Say, Fred Metheny turned in a ball game that rates high on everyone's books. IOWA U. After five straight losses, this 14-13 win reallv was the thinir. In fact, it left the entire state in happy frame of mind. At least ine rtusiiers iook doui lowa teams into camn and we ran face nur Corn state friends with no apolo gies. Vike Returns. Vike Francis, ineligible for three weeks previous, was the star of this one for the first time this season. He got one touchdown and the winning placement kicks. Tom Farmer and Al Couppee had plenty on the ball for Iowa. OKLAHOMA. The last came rf the season and what a game. The score was 7-6 Dut not until rive seconds after the final whistle blew could either team emit a sigh of relief. Wayne Blue s bt yard runnack of a pass interception and Vic Schleich's winning placement were the big moments. That's Itl That's it, the season in a nut shell. A hard nut to crack per haps but a good beginning and a better ending maintained the pres tige of Nebraska. The watchword now is "Wait until '42." And, we can hardly wait.
