At the intermission the winners held a 31-14 lead. Opening the second half, the Big Ten representatives garnnered 22 points to Nebraska's four in six and one-half minutes of play. After 10 minutes of the second half had been played the Illinois regulars were sent to the showers. Ail-American Ken Menke led the "Illini" scoring with 16 points while Andy Phillip and Gene Vance counted 10 apiece. Max Young with eight points and Kenny Elson with seven led the Nebraska scoring.

M. BY GENE BRADLEY There is an okl Egyptian proverb which 'rends something like this: "If you cannot say something nice about a person, then keep your trap shut and quit your damn yapping." Con sequently, in the interest of good manners, we had better not say anything about Norris Anderson's sport column. The Egyptians were a pretty wise lot, even if they were mean to their mummies. SPOKTS FLASH: The Sigma Nus were. reinstated in the intramural fight for the water polo trophy. At first, the ath letic board accused the Sigma Nus of illegally using a seal as one of the contestants. Later, they made their apologies for not recognizing Stan Maley. Eleanor Koosevelt, first lady of the land, made the follow ing pertinent statement concerning winter sports: "If only more young people would participate in winter sports, such as ice-skating and bob-sledding, the general health and morale of these young people would be improved immeasurably, in the larger, rather than the smaller sense of the word, unless, of course, the young people lived in some place like Florida, huh?" A lot of us could take this to heart, I imagine. CONCERNING THE BASKETBALL TEAM: John Thomp son, famous Husker dribbler, was walking past the dorm List Friday when a horrible scream was heard from one of the win dows in the dorm. Mr. Thompson, gentleman as well as athlete, called up: "Are you in distress?" A lovely female face smiled out and said, "I'm not in any dress, Johnny." braska 14.

Phi Delts Ptte Up 40 Points In Polo Match One-sided, nip and tuck, and forfeited games featured last Thursday evening's play in the I-M Water Polo tourney. Phi Delta Theta's mermen ran up a 40-0 score over the Farm House to record the highest team score of the present campaign. By virtue of this win the Phi Delts forged into first place in League 2 competition. The DU's easily won their first game of the season by drowning the Kappa Sigs 15-4. The win ners scored ten of their markers during the final half. Sigma Chi took over sole leader ship in League 4 by staving off a Sigma Nu rally for a 13-10 victory. The intermission found the winners holering a well-earned 6-0 lead, but a second half rally, which was good for ten points, by the Sig Nu splashers just about turned sure victory into defeat. Many Forfeits. Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Tau Omega are still in a tie for top honors in League 1. Both teams won their contests by forfeits over the AGR's and Delts respectively. Because the ZBT's and the Sig Eps failed to show up at game time, both teams were charged with a forfeit loss. This was a break for the league leading Sigma Chi's who are now the only un defeated sextet in League 4. LEAGUE STANDINGS. League One.
