with both teams fighting for the lead.
Nebraska displayed a better game at
handling the ball than the Aggies
but could not locate the basket.
The Huskers suffered their first
Missouri Valley Conference defeat
yesterday afternoon at the hands or
,the Ames Agricultural School. The ,
Iowa quintet proved to be the better
men in putting the sphere through the
hoop, giving the Farmers the long
end of the score.
The Nebraska lineup showed the re
sult of the recent shake-up due to the
ineligibility of some of the star nfen
on the squad. The Huskers worKea
the ball down the floor time after
time but could not put it through the
ring for the necessary count
The same teams will battle again
this afternoon in the second game
