G1NELL TEAM
Win Friday's Game 31 to 10 and Sat
urday's 28 to 15.
FASTEST GAME SATURDAY.
Onlookers Dance After Games Lueh-
ring's Program Meets With
School's Approval.
Nebraska got a flying start in its
cries of court games when the Hus-
ker basket tossers defeated the Grin-
nell Pioneers Friday evening by the-
jcore of 31 to 10 and Saturday night
to the tune of 2S to 15.
There were approximately 1,500
basketball fans on hand for the open
ing of the Husker's new home at the
Coilseum. Governor McKclvie tossed
up the first ball when the whistl
biew.
Following the two contests the
mammoth floor was waxed and the
floor was soon filled with dancers.
Every one enjoyed the new program
Director Leuhring has instituted for
the basketball games.
Faster Game Saturday.
The first game was slow compared
with the contest on Saturday night.
Both quintets displayed poor basket
ball on Friday 'night but Saturday
night the Red and Black five staged a
come-back and held Coach Schissler's
ponies to a lower score than was ex
pected. The Huskers were not up to
their standard form in putting the ball
through the hoop during either game.
The Nebraska team had a great many
more shots than the Grinnell men.
but were unable to locate the hoop.
The "ponies" started the first gams
and played rings around the Grinnell
team, but could annex only IS points
during the first half. The Grinnell
quintet registered 6 points during the
first period of the game.
The Grinnell coach made a num
ber of substitutions at the begining of
the second half but nothing could stop
the Hukers and with five minutes to
play the count was 31 to 10 in Ne
braska's favor. At this time Coach
Schissler substituted the heavy weight
aggregation but the big team could
not make a point during their period
of work. The larger team had a good
number of shots but were unable to
put the ball through the basket.
Following is a detailed account of
Friday night's game.
