NEBRASKA TAKES ONE
DRAKE AQQREQATION BEATEN
BY 39 TO 30.
MOST EXCITING GAME OF YEAR
THE&WWAN8 HOLD THEIR OWN
EM 8ECOND HALF.
Nebraska Won the Third Game on Her
'Schedule in the Championship
"
8erlc8 Last Evening by
Taking Hard Fight.
In what was by far the moat excit
ing game of the season the cornhuBk
ers basket-ball team last evening de
feated the Drake team by the Bcoro
of 39 to 30. The game was played In
the university armory boforo a me
dium sized but very enthusiastic audi
ence and before the game was over
they were cheering as loudly as a
crowd twice their size.
It had been predicted all week that
the cornhuakers would have a much
harder, time against the Drake bunch'
than they did against Ames, but from
the way tho game started out It look
ed as If thlB Information had not come
from a reliable source. The local Ave
started right In at tho first to play
rings around their Iowa opponents,
and all through the first half they kept
their side of the score about twice
that of the Drake aggregation. How-"
over, the Drake coach must havo made
the most of the ten minute intermis
sion by Instructing his men how to
break up the cornhiiBker team work,
for during the second half they more
than hold their own against tho Ne
braska team. .
Drake's Long 8hots.
. The- playing of the Drake team,
while not nearly so consistent as that
of the cornhuskers, "was abounding
with spectacular work. They em
ployed tactics which w'ere entirely
new to tho local followers of the game
and to th,e players as well, In the form
of long shots for field goals. It was
nothing unusual for their forwards to
try for a goal when they were at least
thirty feet from it, and, although they
missed these shots In a majority of
cases, yet they scored on them occas
ionally. Such scores woVo'the signal
for outbursts of applause.
The Nebraska players had not been
up against anything of' thiB kind -boforo
this season, and as a consequence
they were somewhat baffled by tho
strange stylo of the visitors. Although
effoctlvo in some instances it Is very
doubtful If this kind of game pays
in tho long run. Frequently those
long shqts of the Drake players would
be extremely erratic, in soveral cases
missing "the board entirely.
Nebraska Team, Work.
- .
Dr. Clapp's pupils can attribute
their success in the game to superior
team Work,' better guarding, and more
careful basket shooting. In the mat
ter of team woVk they surpassed their
opponents and on this account they
secured a safe lead in the initial per
iod of the game.
l?or the first time this year Petra
shek met his match at the' center po
sition. Witter, tho Drake center, had
considerable advantage In height over
the local player, aijd this fact In ad
dition to his ability made it possible
for him to have slightly the better of
their argument. Tho Drake center fre
quently .employed unfair means' in
jumping for the ball, however, and
this may account for his. apparent bet
ter showing. Ho was frequently re
sponsible for fouling by holding and
rough playing.
Ail tho other members pfthe team
shqwed up weir and the scoring was
Jk&jj)
not all done by ono dr two men as has
often been the case In other gameB.
Captain Walsh Becured four goals
from the field during tho first half.
This evidently caused the Drako team
some concern for they guarded tho
lanky captain so closely during the
second half that he was unable to
bcoIo a goal from tho field although ho
contributed flvo points on free throws.
Dwlght Boll was a close secdnd in to
tal number of points scored, and led
both teams In tho total number of
field goals, having six to his credit.
Wood scored threo field goals in tho
first half and Perry and Potrnshok
each got one In the second half Bell
contributed three of his six, Potrashek
ono, nnd Schmidt, who had taken
Wood's place at left forward, ono.
Visitors Pick Up.
The vftitors picked up wonderfully
in tho second halt of tho game. They
guarded their cornhusker opponents
very much moro closely and their
passing was much bettor thnn during
the Initial half.
Tho Drako team certainly presontB
a fino appearance on tho field and with
moro coaching and practice there ap
pears to bo no roason why they should
not dovelop into a wonderful team.
They are all largo men, with speed
nnd agility and they havo tho advant
age of a long center who can frequent
ly put the ball right whoro ho wants
It on the jump.
It is expected that tonight's game
will bo even harder fought than last
night's because the teams aro now
somewhat familiar with each other's
style of play, and they will conse
quently know bettor how to go at each
other? If tho game Is harder fb'uglit?
more fiercely played, or in any way a
better exhibition thnn was last oven
lng'B contest It will certainly bo well
worth attending and ovory one Is ad
vised to bo present
An informal dance In tho chapel will
bo given Immediately after tho game
In honor of tho visiting players.

platform ability has been inherited
from fathor and grandfather whose
two single pastorates cover practically
ono hundred years, the grandfather,
Dr. Thomas Snell, having been pastor
over one "Massachusetts church for
slxty-three years.
Mrs. Burnell gained materia for her
monologues of Hindu life while living
In Southorn India, whither she went,
as she herself expresses It, because
a young man asked her to go with
him! She has adopted the unique
method of picturing the life of the
Hindu woman to the American people
through the wearing of the costume
of that country and telling a continu
ous story in tho first person as though
she were relating the history of- her
own -family, -,-The story is' hot only
artistic in Us conception, but so com
pletely does tho speaker' lose herself
In her character, so vividly, does she
give the different events and scenes,
thta tho audience lose themselves and
suppose thoy aro listening to tho gen
uine Hindu woman.
