The Cornhusker basketball team has had the misfortune to lose three games in succession to date. On Thursday night they met the Hamline College team and, simultaneously, met defeat, the score being 20 to 9 in favor of the Hamliners. Nothing that we can negotiate on a mere typewriter can be-, gin to express the emotions that stirred our bosom when we first heard the result of that entanglement Re ports of the game say the Huskers outplayed their opponents, but were unable to find the basket to any ex tent. That's some consolation. The line-up: Nebraska Hamline Hugg r. f Johnson Hawkins (C.) . . . r. g Larson MyeT c .
