COUCH EJ. STEWART HAS
MESSAGE FOR VISITORS
Extends Thanks for Competing
Teams for Co-Operation
ASKS BETTER FACILITIES
Urges Out SUte 'RepreienUtlvet" to
C.rry Home Ne of Need of Equip
ment "Boye Como to Nebraska"
Coach Stewart, director of athletics
t (ho University, has said and asks
visiting hlRh school players, coaches.
.Uprlntendents and friends, to carry
home to their district representatives
in the legislature this message:
"Nebraska University must have u
rymnnelum. of a size and with facili
ties to care for the added demand be
lug mnde for Improved physical condi
tion of her young men. Nebraska ath
letic teams should not be handicapped
by being lost when playing on big
gymnasium floors against other Mis
souri Valley conference teams. She
should not be humiliated by the r
fusnl of other Missouri Valley teams
to compete on the Nebraska floor and
pbove all "else Nebraska University
should be In a position to care for
comfortably the thousands of desirable
visitors who' attend the annual basket
ball tournament."
Sportsmanship in Evidence
To the visiting high school players,
coaches and superintendents Dr. Stew
art wishes to offer his thanks and that
of the University officials for their
hearty co-operation In conforming to
the new rules and regulations. He
pays a high compliment to the sports
manship of the players when he refers
to the fact that not a single cause has
arisen for the elmlnlnatlon of a player
for roughness or other causes. The
eligibility of the various teams Is be
yond suspicion made so by the hearty
support of the state high school offi
cials to the eligibility rules of the N. H.
S. A. A. Coaches have shown a de
cided improvement In the ' coaching
and in the spirit of fairness which
they have instilled Into their players
and not a single protest has been filed
against the decisions of the refereos
in any class.
"Boys come to Nebraska" Is the
closing request of the Nebraska coach.
"Nebraska University is not surpassed
in its educational advantages by any
institution east or west and I have
seen them all," he Says. "We play;
during the football season of 1918, the
largest and heaviest schedule of any
team in the United States and there
fore your opportunity to participate n
games which will add to the prestige
of the University and the players is
greater here than elsewhere. The Uni
versity of Nebraska is your Institu
tion. You should take pride in it and
continue from the high school to your
institution. Nebraska in 1917 did not
have a single varsity football man who
wan not a native Cornhusker. Her
1918 basketball team is composed en
tirely of native sons. The 1918 track
team does not have on it a candidate
from'outside of the state and she does
not need any other than Cornhuskers
to hold her position of prominence in
athletics IF every native Cornhusker
attends his own University."
Missouri
Missouri University will be on a
war basis a twelve months' school
year. The curators -decided today at
their meeting here. Under their plan
the year will be divided into tri
lneivrs of four months each. Stu
dents can attend all, two or only one
tii-meter a year. The first opens in
August, and closes November 1. The
second opens November 1 and closes
April 1. The third opens in April
md closes In August.

they were no match for their heavier
and larger opponents. R. Dewitz of
the Stanton team deserves a great deal
of credit for the showing that the team
made, while for the Lincoln team
the honors were divided between Ches
"ey, Jungmcycr and Lamb. - Lamb
plays one of the prettiest guarding
games that has been seen on the
floor this year. From the dope as it ia
at present, Lincoln will undoubtedly
appear in the finals Saturday.' Follow

After reaming up on the strong Uni
versity Place team last night by a 19-to-5
score, the five from South Omaha
looms up as a possible contender for
the honors in Class A. The Tackers
have a husky hunch of players who
are In the game from the Btart to the
finish and exhibit a bunch of team
work that should make the Lincolnltea
hustle If they want to compete in the
final round. Ktter one of the South
side guards, played the star role of the
game by tossing six field goals. The
Suburbanites were able to ring up but
one field goal and a total of three free
throws. Summary:

Fremont sprung a sensation during
last night's play when sho took the
measure of the strong Gothenburg five.
Gothenburg came down to the tourna
ment with an enviable record and load
ed for bear and a determination to win
the meet or know why. The "why"
happened to bp the wonderful brand of
team-work exposed by the Fremonters.
Gothenburg might have had a good
chance of winning if they had been
able to hit the basket. Time and again
they tore down the floor only to shoot
and miss. Roberts was the star of
the Gothenburg team, making seven
of the teams nine counts, and Fitz
simmons, Gardner and McKennon were
the leaders of the Fremont aggrega
tion. Summary:

CLASS B
One of the hardest fought games of
the Class B series this afternoon was
that between Sutton and Nebraska
City. Sutton played a wonderful game
yesterday in the first round and looked
good to go the finish but they failed to
meet the onslaught of the Nebraska
City quintette. It was a closely-contested
game from the start although
Nebraska City clearly had the best of
it from the beginning. Nuss of Sutton
and Morrow, the Nebraska City cen
ter, both played a star game for their
respective teams.

Friend played a losing game Thurs
day afternoon when they lost to the
fast Shelton five by a score of 24 to 8.
Friend put up a good exhibition of bas
ketball but were entirely outclassed
by the Shelton team. From the day's
play Shelton may be picked to be in at
the finish of the fight Saturday and to
make a mighty strong bid for the
honors in Class B. By far the biggest
star of the game was Harold Couroy
.ot Shelton. He made what might be
called a tourney record forfree-throws
by making good on ten out of a possi
ble twelve throws, and getting credit
for four field goals. In all he made
eighteen of his team's twenty-four
points. Varney of Friend who made
such a showing against the Havelock
aggregation Wednesday, was unable to
make any headway through the guard
ing of the Shelton boys, The sum
