4 THE DAILY NEBEASKAN BUSKERS PLAY AMES TONIGHT Nebraska's Chance for Cham pionship Ruined by Wash ington Defeat. WILL MEET IOWA ON ARMORY FLOOR Nebraska's cagers, back from a trip of two defeats and one victory, will match baskets with Ames to night on the Armory floor, begin ning at 7:30. The Cornhuskers should hare little trouble in defeating Iowa State. The Cyclones have won only one game this season, having lost to almost every team in the conference. Nebraska's chances lor a cham pionship went into the discard last week when they dropped a hard game to Washington. The only hope re maining is in the event of a slump on both Kansas and Washington, which is unlikely. If "Washington defeats Kansas, and Nebraska wins! from Washington the Cornhuskers will still be in second place. The basketball card for Nebraska this week includes a game with Mis souri, on the home court, and one with Creighton, non-conference, at Omaha on Saturday. The Missouri game is Friday.

Mr. Big Munn" is Topic of Sport Editor in Honolulu Star-Bulletin COACH BEARG ISSUES CALL Equipment for Varsity Squad to Be Given Out Wednes day Afternoon. EXPECTS VETERANS AND FRESHMEN WEDNESDAY First call for spring football prac tice was issued (yesterday by Ne braska's new coach, Ernest F. Bearg, who arrived in Lincoln Sunday eve ning from Illinois. Veterans, freshmen, and plain foot ball aspirants are included in the call, Mr. Bearg stated, and all the men who expect to go out for football are wanted. It is estimated that seventy-five men will turn out for the first workout on Wednesday. Equipment for the Varsity squad will be issued tomorrow afternoon at the Stadium and locker rooms will be provided on the north side of the Stadium, leaving the south side for the track squad. The practices will be held on the regular scrimmage field on the ground to make it ready for scrim mage and practice, Mr. Bearg said. The new coach got on the job early. As soon as he could finish up matters at the University of Illinois, where he was assistant coach, he hurried to Lincoln. He had hardly been in Lincoln a day when he made arrangements to start practice. While the critics of the wrestling game are arguing pro and con in regard to the ability of the new wrestling champion, T. L. Morgan ex-'18 sends to The Daily Nebraskan an interesting side light on the sub' ject as seen by Joe Williams in the Honolulu Star Bulletin. It follows MR. BIG MUNN For the first time in the flop-eared, non-skid history of wrestling the game has a Big Munn instead of a Big Bum as its champion. BIG MUNN is a large, muscular product of the wide-open collegiate spaces of Nebraska where men are men, and oddly enough so are the wrestlers. The new ace in the Flop-'em-and-Hop-'em deck is a highbrow who has the low down on the gentle science of Bone-crushing. The Man Mountain is the only guy known to the Academy of Higher Arts who ever threw a champion out of the ring, his senses, his title, and a European tour all with one delicate gesture of the micrometer. When Mr. Lewis regained consci ousness he wanted to know if tne women and children had been saved and if the interne would kindly lift the locomotive off his left ear, please. The catch-as-catch-can Colossus used to play football. He picked the Strangler up and ran the length of the field twice for touchdowns. On another occasion he threw him for 40-yard pass which was grounded. If there had been a fourth quarter he'd probably drop-kicked him from the 65-yard line. The Grappling Oibralter was a six-pointed star with the Nebraska eleven, but Walter Camp ignored him. Walter had more brains than the Strangler. The collegiate influence of the in tellectual jumbo is expected to bring about vital and gaudy changes in the mat game . . . We will stand state universities work? . RIPLERS START ON FOURTH WEEK FIRE Valley Sports The entrance of Oklahoma A. & M. into the Missouri Valley confer ence carries with it a threat in the wrestling game. The Oklahoma Ag gies have held the championship of the Southwestern conference for nine straight years. Lookabaugh, a middleweight, landed a berth on the American Olympic team last sum mer but lost in the finals to the Switzerland man. Carl J. Petersen, '23, has been ap pointed football and basketball coach at Augustana College, Augustana, Illinois, to succeed Wallace Swanson beginning next year. Petersen was a center on the Husker eleven and coached at Nebraska Wesleyan for a time. Petersen was placed on Walter Camp's 1923 second All-American team and on Brown's first) "All" team. Last year he played with the Kansas City professional team, hold ing down the pivot position. The new Augustana coach will as sist Coach Henry F. Schulte in train ing the tracksters this spring. Rapid scheduling of athletic con tests followed quickly on the heels of the patch-up of athletic relations be tween the University of Southern California and Stanford and Califor nia. The southern school reached an agreement with the two others and mended the relations which were broken last fall. A plan to send the 1925 Varsity baseball team on an eastern trip im mediately after school is out were formulated recently at the Univer sity of California. Ihe Bears would meet the pick of middle-western and eastern teams on a schedule includ ing thirty games. Varsity Team Has Five More Matches Booked This Week. The Nebraska rifle team started yesterday on its fourth week of inter collegiate match firing. The matches this week are with the University of Nevada, Kansas Agricultural Col lege, University of West Virginia,' Knox College, and Culver Military Academy. Dale Skinner and R. M. Currier made the highest scores yesterday in the prone position. Both of them shot targets totalling 99 points, Skin ner dropping one point from his 100 mark of last week. D. P. Roberta, high man on the team last week has completed firing three positions. If his standing score is as good as last week he will exceed his previous high mark three points, for a new season record. E. L. Plotts who made the third perfect score in the prone position last week fell down to 97. Capt Albert B. Foster, professor of military science, in the University R. O. T. C, will assist Captain Eggers in coaching the team in the future. He will give individual instruction to members of the team and to others that desire the additional training. The hours when he will be in the gal lery are posted on the military bulle tin board. WRESTLERS MEET MINNESOTA SOON Catalogue Fungi Books at Library At least 300 books on fungi are being catalogued at the Library. They will be moved to the botanical library at Bessey Hall as soon as cataloguing is firi-ied- The volumes are illustrated with detailed plates. Tryouts for Saturday Meet to Be Held Either Today or Tomorrow. The Nebraska wrestling team will meet the University of Minnesota at Lincoln Saturday evening in the sec ond home meet of the season.' Try outs for berths on the team will be held either today or tomorrow at regular workouts. The meet will be only two weeks before the Missouri VaJJey champion ships at Lincoln, March 13 and 14, and Dr. R. G. Clapp will get a chance to look over his team in good shape for the first time this season. The Cornhuskers lost to Iowa Fri day night at Iowa City, winning one match out of seven. Captain Skin ner was the only man to win. The last dual meet of the season will be held at Lincoln a week from Satur day, with the Northwestern Univer sity wrestlers.
