THE DAILY NEB R ASK AN GAGERS MEET JAYHAWKERS Thre Stellar Huiker Cag Men Will Play Latt Jlome Gam In Saturday Contest DECIDES VALLEY RACE The Nebraska Scarlet and Cream basket tossers meet the Ftronff Kan sas Jayhawkor five on the floor of the Coliseum Saturday nijjht for the final home frame of the 1027 cage canon. Throe stellar Husker can men will play their last game for Nebraska on the home floor. They are: Captain Clark Smaha, Ted rntre, and Roy Andreson. Saturday night's game decides whether Nebraska stays In the race for the 1927 Missouri Valley basketball championship race. Kansas won two victories during the past week and one Monday night from the Washington Honrs. Kansas won from the St Louis team 27 to 18 while the HuskeTs coming from be hind took the count from the same team 41 to 34 so judging from the scores the Kansas team has a two point advantage in the dope column over the Huskers. But the Nebras kans have already registered a win over Allen's quintet and that on their home court, so figuring it that way the hope on the big battle is just about even. Kansant Appear Stronf The Jayhawkers looked strong in both their victories last week and this week and now the Valley racer is at its crucial stage between Kansas Missouri and Nebraska. Beating the Tigers in bothgames at Columbia and Lincoln, the Huskers are thus recog nized as a team of championship caliber and still in the title race. The crucial clash of the season comes for the Nebraskans Saturday night and is the last tough hurdle for the men of Charley Black to make this season. The Kansas-Nebraska game will be a real battle from the opening whistle to the final gun and will be witnessed by the largest crowd at basketball games in the Coliseum this season. Athletic au thorities report that the advance tick et sale for the Kansas-Nebraska game indicates a record attendance for games this season. Huskers Bent on Repeating The Cornhusker basketeors will be armed with a determination to win from the Jayhawk bird and have lost the over-confidence that they pos sessed before the Washington gnrne. On January 29, the Huskers took a conference game from the men of "Phog" Allen and will be fighting to the last gun to repeat the victory over the team coached by the past master of the Nebraska basketball coach. Black is pointing his Scar let and Cream quintet for the big all important Kansas game and all sea son the Nebraska five have betn able to turn in a win over the strong teams of the Missouri Valley. Black pointed his men for the Kan sas game in January and the team came through with a victory, and again in Manhattan, the Nebraska coach pointed his men for the Aggie clash and the Huskers again turned in a win. Leader Play at Norman While Kansas and .Nebraska are fighting it out in Lincoln, the Valley leaders will be at Norman for a con ference gr.me with the? Sooncrs and the Kansas Aggies at Des Moines. Coach .Mien's lineup Saturday night will probably be Schmidt, Hill, Gordon or Newland at forward. Pet erson at center, Burton and Jefferey at guard. Fred Williams of Kansas City will handle the game.

With the termination of the great est interfraternity basketball tourna ment since its organiration, the job of picking a mythical team from over two hundred players proves an ex tremely difficult task. Every year sport writers over the country take up this hazardous task and immed iately their choice is met with a round of criticism and as a result the present-day writer judges the worth of his choice by the amount of criticism. BLEYER'S JOURNALISM CODE WINS POPULARITY The Wisconsin Code of Ethics for Journalism, drawn up by Prof. Wil lard B. Bleyer, director of the Course in Journalism at the University of Wisconsin, and adopted by the Wis consin Press association in 1925, has just been published in Sydney, Aus tralia, as a proposed code of ethics for the New South Wales Press as sociation. The Wisconsin code was adopted by the Canadian Weekly Newspaper association in 1925. This year's tournament presented an array of men that any college coach would welcome. Teams failing to enter into the final round did not have the chance to display their in dividual talent as the teams enter ing the final lap, but teams emerging from their respective leagues found five all-star teams waiting the whistle for the start of the final round. Phi SifS Are Champions Phi Signia Kappa, with four vet erans from a championship team of last year, emerged from ten games with a perfect record and for the second consecutive year cinched the championship. This aggregation, ocm- posed of Grace, King, Nicholson, and Higgins, the veterans, and a year ling, Lewandowski, incidentally won the right to meet the Phi Chi team, champions of Omaha University, for the all-university championship Fri day night at the University Coliseum. The champs went through league six untarnished, taking close games from Sigma Nu and Sigma Alpha Ep silon, and started through their last two games with Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsilon. These two teams eventually tied for second place in the tournament. Two hard fought battles were staged and the Phi Sigs came out with heads high in the air and the troubled waters passed. Law- andowski and Grace led the playing and scoring of the champions but were ably assisted by their team mates. Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsi lon tied for second place, having gone through the season with but one defeat apiece. When these two teams met during the round-robin play the Kappa Sigs emerged the vic tors from one of the most exciting games of the tourney. Pi Kappa Al pha, Acacia, and Phi Gamma Delta were the remaining teams of the final league all going down in defeat in tho hands of tho upper three. Ability in Forward A wealth of forwards of ability made the task of choosing a pair for the first team a difficult task. Grace and Witto, tho final choice, ware the outstanding players of the tour nament. They are both members of Coach Bearg's freshman five so their ability to work together is beyond question. Graco was the leading fac tor of the Thl Sigs play during the tournament exhibiting some fancy shooting from most any position as well as playing a floor game of con sistency rather than brilliance. Witte, though playing on a team eliminated by the champs in tho first round, clearly proved his worth during this stage of the piny. Witte has an un canny eye for the hoop and is a bril liant floorman. Faulscn and Whalen, the choice for tho second team, are both exceptionally fine men on tho floor, having each shown a fighting quality that led their teams to many ictories and only being surpassed by Grace and Witte. In choosing these first four men for their ability to work the ball to the basket and once down there, in finding the hoop, there are many men left who, to the eyes of many individuals, would perhaps belong in the first ranks, however the difficulty of this choice may be shown in the caliber of play of the remain ing forwards. All-Star Caliber in Center Center, a position requiring height, is not so over-flowing with material as the other positions. The men chos en no doubt are of all-star caliber but the number of all-star men is exceedingly lacking. Lewandowskki, the first choice, is a team mate of Grace and also is making a good showing with the freshmen. "Lew" has been following closely upon Grace's heels for the high-scoring of the champions and is especially clev er at tossing the ball through the mesh from a corner with one hand. His clever floor work and one-hand shots places him far in the lead of other contestants for the center po sition. Adam Kahler, next in line for a berth, was the maiir-stay of the Sig Eps throughout the season. If Adam was hot, the Sig Eps would win, if he wasn't, they wouldn't. Adam is another member of the freshman squad and a valuable man-to both. He is a nice floor-worker and a bear at defense. Konkright and Toms both played stellar basketball though Toms was unfortunate not to have landed past the first round thus cut ting down his chances for higher honors. Guard on List Four guards headed the list and the decision of placing Roper and Gohde first came after a good deal of controversy. Roper and Connor were, no doubt, the sweetest pair of guards playing together in the tour SEVERAL MEETS FACE TRACKMEN Nebraskana for IllinoU Relay Meet Practically Chosen May Meet Kaggiea Nebraska's representatives for the Illinois Indoor Rolays Saturday havo not yet been announced. Coach Schulto is withholding final decision as to who shall go, with the prospect of on indoor dual meet with Kansas Aggies hero tho following Saturday being considered. If tho meet with the Kaggies is scheduled as seemed probable Wed nesday evening, tho Huskers will journey to Champaign minus a relay team. Otherwise, Conch Schulte will tnko cither a four-mile or med ley relay team, with tho four-mile quartet considered moro likely to get tho call. Captain Bobby Stephens, for the dashes, Richard Xrause, for tho high and lpw hurdles, pien Johnson, for the 1000 or 1500 meter runs, and Clinton Hurd, for the shot put ore sure to make the trip. Stephens will run in tho dashes again. He was nosed out at K. C. A. C. but is the Cornhusker'a best bet in the short sprints this season. Which race Johnson will run is de pendent on whether a relay team goes or not. II tne reiay team is taken, he will run the 1000 meters. If a four-mile relay team makes the trip, the two races come so close to gether that he will be switched to try tho 1500 motor distance, tho longost course he will have covered in com petition this year. Krause and Hurd, the sophomore members of the squad are both com ing along nicely. Krause's knee has been bothering him slightly this week but he should be in good shape for the Saturday meet. He surprised all the vulley by beating the valley's old hurdlers out in tho high hurdles at Kunsas City lust week. Hurd also spilled the dopo by placing second to Kuck of K. C. A. C. in tho shot put. nament. But one of them had to give way to Gohde who was practically tho whole Pi K A team during the first of the tournament Roper made up in basket shooting and fight what he lacked in stature and though sur rounded by tall players he could us ually pull the ball down from the back board. His trick of watching the ball instead of the man led to many interceptions and consequently the turning of the tide. Gohde possesses a talent afforded to few guards, that of breaking through a five man de fense. This ability is a valuable asset to any team. Gohde is another one of the all-stars contributing to the success of the freshman team. Mc lntyre and Connor, playing together could make most any team resort to long shots. The remaining guards all shewed up well in the games and de serve a word of praise, especially the two Phi Sig guards, Nicholson and Higgins, ho formed a defense that carried their team through while the offense was rolling up the score. 1 ' 1 V eWI Veja(ataiajafi -w PRINTERS VdUilal UiUid VUiy W- SfJ78 BOWLING TOURNEY TO SEMI-FINALS Four Team Are Left in Race for Championshipl All Hava Made Score Over 2000 Thursday's Match Xi Psi Phi vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon.

Without doubt theso are the two teams that will bowl in the finals notwithstanding the fact that the Dolts have a very good team. The Kappa Sigs hold the honor of making the highest score 'for an in dividual match throughout the tour nament and have functioned well at all times. The main stay of the Kap pa Sig team is Krall who is a con sistent scorer and who has the high individual honors with C09 pins for one match.
