FOR MISSOURI VALLEY PENNANT

Maintain Position Near the Top

of Basketball Season.
May Land in Second Place If Vic
torious Over Grinnell Today
and Saturday.
By Oswald B. Black.
Jumping lnt the Missouri valley
race with a gang of seasoned veter
ans from last year and ripping things
up quito generally at the start, the
Nebraska Cornhusker basketball team
battled for the conference title thru
twelve strenuous games and were
vithin three games of the end of the
peason before It hit the toboggan at
Manhattan at the hands of the cham
pion Kansas Aggies Just a week ago.
The Jayhawk farmers had breezed
thru their entire schedule of nine
games with nary a hint of defeat, and
the Cornhuskers were caught in the
draft and flattened out with the other
victims. They were on deck with a
possible chance of snatching the gob
let from the Aggies up until their de
feat at Manhattan, but now they will
have to be content with second, third,
or even fourth place, according to the
outcome of the two Grinnell' games
this week.
Divide Pre-Season Games.
Doc Stewart's proteges took on the
Omaha Balloon school and Camp
Dodge quintets in four practice games
prior to their opening vvalley number
and they had no trouble in disposing
of tfte Calloonists both times by 24
to 5 and 22 to 11 scores. The Dodg
ers were of a superior caliber, how
ever, and the soldiers marched home
with both games to their credit, win
ning the first by a score of 25 to 18
and the second, which was a terrific
tussle, resulting 25 to 24 for the in
vaders. Opening Game to Huskers.
The regular Missouri valley season
opened with a swing thru Iowa terri
tory, including two games with Drake
and two with Grinnell, the baby mem
ber of the conference. January 22,
the Huskers opened with a victory
over the Drake Bulldogs by a score of
34 to 13. The Iowans were outplayed
in all departments of the game and
Btood no chance of winning.
The following day, Nebraska took
on the Grinnell basketeers, who had
just recently been admitted to the val
ley conference, and trimmed them by
a save margin of 24 to 14. Brilliant
passing on the part of Jackson and
Gillilan accounted for the victory.
The Grinnell youngsters came back
in, the second game with a surprising
burst of speed and turned the tables
on the Huskers, winning by a score
of 16 to 15. Such a setback was not
the most encouraging thing that could
have happened to the Huskers bo
early in hte race, but the following
day they again met the Drake Bull
dogs and won handily 24 to 14.
The following week Drake Invaded
Lincoln and succeeded In winning the
first game by a six point margin, but
losing the second to Nebraska 10
points in the rear.
Drake Opens Season Here.
Drake followed the Nebraska boys
home and helped usher in the home
season on January 30. The Bulldogs
took the Huskers by surprise and
grabbed the first encounter by a mar
gin of 6 points, but lost the return
number 10 points in the rear.
A big effort was made to resusci
tate the fast dying Nebraska spirit at
the Washington-Nebraska games the
following week and with the help of
over a hundred legislators the gym
was stuffed to the cobwebs with
howling supporters. The Huskers
took both games from the Missourians,
the first 35 to 25 and the second 28
to 13.
Two hard fought games against the
Missouri Tigers on February 14 and
15 resulted in a double victory for
Nebraska. She climbed from third to
second place in the standings and
shoved the conference leaders down
to third. The score of the first game
was 28 to 26 and the second was 21
to 14.
Ames refused to play in the Ne
braska gymnasium and the games set
for February 21 and 22 were can
celled. The Huskers took a lay-off
until they invaded the Kansas coun
try on March 5 for two games with
the Jayhawkers and two with the
Kansas Aggies.
Cornhuskekr hopes of a valley
championship began to fade when the
Jayhawks took the first game 31 to
17, but revived somewhat then they
handed the second to Nebraska by a
29 to 24 score. Said hopes bumped
into oblivion when the Kansas farm
ers took the last two numbers 34 to
32 and the second 30 to 21. The
games today and tomorrow with Grin
nell decide whether the Huskers can
jump back to second place or slip to
the bottom.
