Decision to
Classy I.U.
BY GENE SHERMAN.
Nebraska's Huskers didn't have
a chance against the strong Uni
versity of 'Illinois basketeers last
night, as the 1942 Big Ten cham
pions rolled over the Huskers
69-27.
The final outcome was never in
doubt as the flashy "Illini" quin
tet jumped into an early lead
which they never relinquished.
After the Illinois starting lineup
had rolled up a commanding 17-2
lead during the first 11 minutes
of the game, Coach Doug Mills
sent his regulars to hte bench for
the remainder of the first half.
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.

Today! 30c til 2 P. 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."

Daily Corrects
Draft Date Error
Through a typographical er
ror it was stated that all men
whose birthday fall within the
dates of July 1 and Aug. 3,
are required to register for the
national draft between Dec. 11
and 17. The correction should
read "all men whose birthdays
fall within the dates of July 1
and Aug. 31."
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.
