Tho removal of Wood, loft forward, fronl the game In tho. early part of the second half and tho failure of the Ne braska guards to watch Anderson, who was substituted for Moncke on tho Minnesota team, lost the game for the Cornhuskers. ; During tho initial session and for the few minutes of the second half that -he was in tho Nebraska line-up the colored' lad played a fast game and -was an important factor in keeping his Ave in the lead.

Wattors was substituted for Woods and did some good work in advancing, with tho ball and in break ing' up the Minnesota plays. Ho lacked however, tho keen Judgment of the man whoso place he was filling, and the gophers soon piled up enough points to make their approach dan gorouB. Schmidt' replaced Walters for the last few minutes of the contest but his fresh and aggressive play was not onougE to stave off the hoodoo which seems to hover, over the cornhuBkers every time they meet the MInnesotans In basket-ball. Even with tho weakness at left, for ward on the cornhu'sker five", the local team might yet havo won ,had Ander son, Minnesota's right guard, been more closely followed, after ho had. gone into tho gamo to relieve Krutch ko.
