GLOOM HANGS HEAVY
IN BASKETBALL CIRCLES
LOSS OF WOODS AND INGER80LL
SEVERE BLOW TO NEBRA8KA.
HUTCHINSON MAY BE OUT Of CAME
Two Regular Guards Have Not Reg
istered In 8chool for Coming Sem
ester and Chances for Missouri
Valley Championship Weak.
With the winning of the games in
the 1910 schedule from Drake Nebras
ka stock took a big jump. The chances
for the winning of the chanfplonship
of the Missouri Valley In basketball
never were better, and the champion
ship of the northern section was al
moat secured.
But over the rosy 'sky a dark cloud
of disappointment and gloom appears.
When, tho game has been won by two
orthreo men on the team, to lose these
men means defeat. That at least two
of tho strong men on tho team will
be out of the game and the Cornhuskor
t five may go down to defeat from tho
loss of these men is the outlook. Wl
bur Wood, tho star guard of tho Con
busker quintet, has not registered ip
school for the. coming somester, and
tho loss of thty Stellar player will be
a severe blow to tho hopes of tho
Cornhuskor supporters. Wood has
played on tho Nebraska team for tho
past two years and has held down tho
position of .guard.
Wood. Good Forward.
This year Wood has beon shifted to
the position of guard and his work
there has put him in tho first class of
basketball men in the Missouri Valley.

from scoring Held goals bus "won him
a place ns the best guard In tho Mis
sou'rUValley. With hits loss tho tonm

ball down the field that Nebraska won
tho games she did from Amos' and
Drak.0.
Wood is a graduate student, having
received b'is degree last spring. This
year ho ItagVtaken work In tho univer
sity, and having only been on tho
team for two years was eligible this

in basketball Jast year, and this year
