Thre Stellar Huiker Cag Men

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.

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.
Kappa Sigma vs. Delta Tau Delta.
The semi-finals of the annual bowl
ing tournament start this evening at
7 o'clock at the Saratoga Bowling
Alleys with the Kappa Sigs bowling

the only teams left to dispute the
bowling championship. They are the
high scorers of the tourney so far.
All of these teams have made a
score of over 2000 in every game

defeated the Zeta Beta Taus and
the Thl Delta Theta. The Kappa Sigs
have defeated the D. Us. and the PI
Kappa Alpha. The DelU have de
feated the Phi Kappas and the Pi
Kappa Phis.
Of these teams the Kappa Sigs
have mado tho best score and from
all appearances they have the best
cinch on the championship unless tho
Xi Tsi Phis come through better than
is expected. 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. Xi Psi Phi have no high
individual scorers but all the team
makes a good average and have a
better average than the other two
teams in the semi-finals.
The five high individual scorers in
clude two men from the Kappa Sig
team and two from the Delt team
and Frcase from the D. U. team.
The high individual scorers follow
with their highest number of pins:
Krall, Kappa Sig 609 pins.
Frease, D. U. 548 pins.
Bloodgood, Delt 514 pins.
Walters, Kappa Sig 812 pins.
Brown, Delt 609 pins.
