TOSSERS FOR NEXT SEASON'S STARS

GREAT ENTHUSIASM SHOWN IN ANNUAL
INTER-FRATERNITY BASKETBALL MEET
Nebraska Plans to Cop 1920 Missouri Valley Title With Combination
of Present Varsity Team and Yearling Aggregation
Composed of Former High School Phenoms.
Missouri Valley teams who have
felt the strength of the Cornhuskcr
basketball machine built up bj Coach
Stewart this year, may well tremble
with apprehension when they realize
the championship calibre of the fresh
man basket-tossers which next season
will be the backbone of the varsity
and sally forth to conquer. Nebras
ka's phenom yearling combination has
battled through the season .with but
one scratch defeat. The strong bid
which the Scarlet and Cream made
for the Valley title is without doubt
due to the strong bunch of fresh
man they had to buck every day.
Forecasting a season ahead in any
sport is a shaky proposition at best,
but the goddess of Missouri Valley
basketball seems to be bestowing her
broadest smile on Nebraska hopes and
prospects. Captain Jackson and Rey
nolds are the only varsity men of this
season who will be gone next year,
which leaves practically the whole
varsity to combine with the strong
bunch of fresh material. Perhaps the
greatest handicap under which the
varsity labored this season was the
lack of a big center. None was availr
able and Coach Stewart had to pmg
the center hole as best he could. But
lo and behold, who will step in next
year. Monte Munn or String Jung
meyer, are both contenders for the
central position. Monte Munn with his
six foot four is developing In great
shape while "String" who piloted the
winning Lincoln . high team of last
year would be a valuable addition 10
any Varsity. Oh, yes, the Cornhusk
ers are optimistic over 1920 basket
ball. This Season's Record
The Nebraska freshmen have lost
but one game this year, and that, by
one point to the Omaha National Bank
team on the Omaha Y. M. C. A. floor.
Tomorrow afternoon they meet this
same bunch of shooters on the Ar
mory floor and hope to send them
back to the metropolis In a humblod
condition. Excepting this'one mar on
their record, the otherwise clean slate
of victories this season reads as fol
lows:
Donne, 1S-C6; 16-44.
Armstrongs, 14-50; 20-49.
Wesleyan, 10-40.
Lincoln High. 10-24.
Omaha National Bank, 14-13.
The Team
The following list shows the men
who have played on the team this
year, and the high school from which
they hail:
Phil Costello, f, Exeter.
Monte Munn, c, Lincoln.
Bob Russell, f, Omaha.
Austin Smith, f, Omaha.
Budd Smith, g, Lincoln.
Floyd Paynter, g, Omaha.
String Jungmeyer, c, Lincoln.
Perry, f, Stanton.
Zip Cypreansen, g, Lincoln.
Bill Norton, f, Polk.
Monte Munn, Jungmeyer, and Cy
preansen played on Lincoln's pennant
winning teams of last year while
Bud Smith starred for Lincoln the
year before.
Bod Russell, Austin Smith and Flcyd
Paynter worked together on the Om
aha Central High team, which was
runner-up in the tournament. Perry,
Costello and Norton are going fine
and the fans who watch the workouts
in the Armory have marked the ease
and regularity with which the new
men score on the varsity.
When Cornhusker fans consider
that next season Coach Stewart will
practically have his entire varsity
squad of this year to start on with
the addition of an unusually strong
combination of Freshmen, they may
well look forward to a successful 1920
Missouri Valley Conference race.
HAND GRENADES

go you have never felt like a dime?
You mean to say that you feel like
a million dollars all of the time, and
don't know what it Is to feel less than
the dust? If that is true, you are a
person to make this old world green
with envy, but somehow, we think that
you have forgotten a few occasions
in your career when you have felt
yourself to be the lowliest of the lowly.
Surely you remember going out to
dinner, and when the coffee was
served, having an oyster fork, a salad
fork, a butter spreader, a strange
looking fork (the use of which you are
ignorant even now!) to your credit.
but nary a spoon. Did you not feel
rather non-essential as your hostess
gave you a w nat-aia-you-eat-wuu
look? Yes. you did!!!
Again you folt dime-like when you
fared forth to a party arrayed in your
evening dress, and everyone else wore
dark street clothes. And at the same
party, when you succeeded In tripping
your dancing partner, causing the two
of you to fall to the floor with a rever
berating crash, you felt like a dime
with nine cents change.
Having your hat blow from your
head, soar through the air, return to
earth, and blow along the street for
two blocks, with you in mad pursuit,
may be rather embarrassing, but It
fades into insignificance, compared
with the agonizing moment which
comes after you have made a feline
(that word means catty, but It sounds
lots nicer, n' est-ce pas?) remark
about someone, and in the deadly si
lence which follows, you turn to see
the object of your verbosity, stand
ing just behind you.
These are only a few of the many
things .which happen to make yon
realize that you are not indispensable
to humanity. Every once In a while
something transpires to make you real
ize that maybe, (of course it would be
difficult) but MAYBE the world would
progress very nicely without your
valuable assistance.

Thrilling Battle.

The inter-fraternity basketball tour
nament of two weeks ago was the
most successful ever held at the uni

them at every game witn howl
ing gangs of supporters who jacked
the sidelines of the old Armoiy every
night to cheer nml jeer th?iv friends
and foes. When the guns ceased fir

Greek world of Cornhuskerland ac
knowldeged the supremacy cf the
team from Delta Upsilon.
Inter-fraternity basketball battles
possess an extraordinary fascination.
The keen enjoyment which comes
from watching these fierce scraps can
never be blamed onto the dazzling
brilliance of the game, but as much
as anything, to the carnivorous, jolly
rivalry displayed. Many a player had
never before taken a shot at the
magic ring, but for the honor of the
old frat donned the trunks and fought
fought the finish. Some thrilling bat
tles were staged nevertheless.
Thrilling Battle in Finals
The final battle which swung the
championship for the D. U.'s was a
contest to which few story books
could do Justice. The winners bat
tled the Delta Taus through three ex
tra periods before the fluttering pen
nant could be Induced to descend up
on the champoins. Tieing tha count in
the last minute of play the D. TJ. five
cheated the graveyard and the game
went Into an extra period. The Delta
Taus grabbed the lead, but again as
the timer3 set themselves for the fatal
whistle, a beautiful toss flew through
the air and the score was again tied.
Another period was added without re
sult, and only In the last two minutes
of the third extension did the men of
Delta Upsilon seiie the title.
The winning line-up consisted of:

The tournament was managed by
the Inter-fraternity Athletic Council
with Elmer Schellenberg at the head
and under the general guardianship
of Coach Stewart. The rule which
excluded all men who had played in
a Missouri Valley contest from partici
pation was a deciding factor, foi sev

to bow to the freshman phenoms.
