Huskers Become Valley Champions By Score of 18 to 16 Special to the Daily Nebraskan LAWRENCE, Kans , March 11 -Nebraska climbed the Missouri Valley championship last night b winning the second game ol the post-season series with Kansas by the score of 18 to 16. The game was one of the best that hns been seen on the local floor in many seasons and was played before a large crowd. The contest was very fast, but free Irom exceptional rough ness The feature of the game was the playing of Haskell for the Corn huskers and Sproul for the Jayhawkers The game opened with Kansas taking the lead, only to lose it after the first score. A long shot by Haskell put the Cornhuskers in the lead and from thenon they were never stopped The Jayhawkers trailed about but could not even tie the flying Cornhuskers In the first half Kansas only made one goal which was thrown by Weav er from the center of the court. Sproul scored five points on free throws which brought their total up to seven. Stryker, Hawkins, and Haskell each scored a goal in the first half and Haskell also threw one free throw The first half ended with the score 9 to 7. The Jayhawkers came back in the second half with the characteristic ruh and Sproul scored his first goal of the game Then Haskell as a result of the fouls of the Kansas men threw seven free throws which virtually decided the contest Captain Greenlees was removed from the game in this period on account of having four personal fouls against him and Smith was vjent in as a substitute The feature of this half was the defense of the Kansas gjUaVds who held the Nebraska team down to one lone goal. Stryker he big center, made this sensational basket. The Nebraska team entered tlie contest brim full of confidence, which never deserted them. On the other baud their opponents, with last night's defeat staring them in the face, entered the game a little off of the edge. StyroulJ, Weaver and Greenlees scored for Kansas, while Stryker, Haskell and Hawkins did the stellar work for the Cornhuskers.

ALL UP IN THE AIR VICTORY 18 CLAIMED BY SUP- PORTER8 OF ALM08T EVERY TEAM ENTERED. WILL BANQUET FRIDAY Commercial Club To Entertain Pros pective University Students In Spacious Dining Quarters. BY C. L. YOCHUM. The third annual High School Bas ketball Tournament promises to bo the biggest and the best meet ever held With the Lincoln Commercial Club, the Alumni Association under the leadership of Secretary Kline and the nrious fraternities all boosting, thiB meet will far exceed all others. The Commercial Club is going to give a banquet to the visiting high school athletes next Friday in their spacious dining hall. Tickets will be free to all high school men registered in the tournament but a limited num ber will be sold to the University stu dents for one dollar a plate. This banquet will not be a dry, drawn-out affair, but will be a sort of a "mixer", giving the different men a chance to meet each other and get acquainted. The Alumni Association is taking an active intefest in the meet. Sec retary Kline is very enthusiastic oyer the tournament and is doing a loj. of boosting. Quite a number of the Greek letter men ar going to stay over Saturday Ln order to take In the meet and als'6" tq get better acquainted with the ' younger prospectiVes. Not only" are the fraternity men going to stay but the pfeater per cent of" the student bod Is planning on waiting for their, home learn to win the championship. The outcome of the tournament Is nothing lees than a conjecture. Al though the larger schools seem to have the advantage, this ib not always the case, for last year there were several suipiifes in thr meet. From the dope as it stands on paper the champion ship might go to University Place, Omaha, Auburn, Newman Grove, Fro- mont, Norfolk, Falrbury or Central City, but there is no certainty of vic tory for a;iy of these. One team might be seriously handicapped by the floor or by having a couple hard games in succession. At any rate there will be great excitement from the time of the first whistle Thurs day afternoon at 1:30 P. M. until the unal blast next Saturday night when the trophy will be presented to the winner. NOTICE.
