LOSE FIRST THREE
CORNHUSKERS PLAY IN HARD
LUCK ON TRIP
COULD NOT FIND THE BASKET
Hamline College Wins, 20 to 9, and
Gophers Grab Friday's Game
by Scoring Ten Free
Throws
By H. I. Kyle.
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.

Friday evening- the Nebraskans lost
a bard game to the Gophers of Min
nesota University, after outplaying
their opponents, as on the preceding
evening. The score was 22 to 18, not
withstanding the Cornhuskers scored
seven field goals to six for the Go
phers. The answer is that Nebraska
made only four free throws out of
nine chances', while Minnesota scored
ten times out of eleven trials.
