FISHER'S 15 POINTS IS
Brilliant Passing and Fast Breaking Offense During
Second Half Gives Cougars Decisive Win;
First Canto Ends With 20-20 Count.
BY MUELIN SPENCER.
A slim, medium sized young forward by tlie inline of lfoiu
n cy may be named as Ihe niuiu reason for Ilrighnm Voting
university's 5.") to 4-1 victory over N'ebniska at the coliseum Tues
day night. Hy scoring eleven field goals for a total of 22 points,
Konincy led the Cougars from Utah to a decisive win in a fast,
free scoring game.
Hunter, lanky Biigham YoungO-
renter, is also a major reason for
the Cougar win, scoring: eight field
goals and two free throws for a
total of eighteen points. Fisher
was high point man for Nebraska
with a total of fifteen points, with
Davey close on his heela with
twelve.
First Half Slow,
The first half started out slow
and dragging, with poor passing
marring the Nebraska play. Brig-
ham Young, although working the
ball close to the basket consist
ently, was unable to hit the basket
with any degree of success and the
half ended in a tie, 20 to 20. Ho-
k"uf, Nebraska guard, was held on
the bench the first part of the first
half with a sore foot, but immedi
ately speeded' things up when, he
went into the game.
The second half was an entirely
different story. The play was fast
with neither team missing any
chances for points. Twenty-six
prints were made by both teams in
the first five minutes of the sec
ond half, Brigham Young making
sixteen and Nebraska ten. After
this time, the Cougars gradually
pulled ahead and were never
headed.
Cougars Pass Brilliantly.
Too much cannot be said about
the passing of the Rocky mountain
team. The Cougars knew exactly
where their men were going to be,
keeping the ball in their possession
until a man was free for a shot.
This was one of the feature points
in the game and aided materially
in the Brigham Young victory.
The Cougars were one of the fast
est breaking teams that the Corn
huskcrs have met this season, and
used a man for man defense.
Although Maclay, Husker cen
ter, controlled the tipoff through
out the entire game, Nebraska was
unable to keep possession of the
ball for any length of time, and for
a while the loss of the ball meant
two more points for Brigham
Young.
Fisher, Davey and Hokuf were
the stars for the Nebraska team.
Hokuf, although missing most of
the first half, was a big aid in the
Husker defense. Fisher and Davey
kept the Cornhuskers in the game
with their scoring.
la Fifth Defeat.
The defeat last night was the
fifth for Nebraska, having lost the
last five starts in intersectional
games. Brigham Young is on its
way home after a successful tour
of the east, and is rated one of the
best teams in the Rocky Mountain
conference. x

Yearbook Editor Announces
Special Period of
Two Weeks.
DEADUNEJS JAN. 17
Due to general student senti
ment requesting an additional op
portunity to obtain pictures for the
1931. Cornhusker, Editor Kenneth
Gammill has made special ar
rangements with the studios
whereby the picture sections will
be open until Friday, Jan. 17.
"There have been so many re
quests for an extension of time,"
the editor asserted, "that we have
decided to delay the panel makeup
for two weeks in order that every
student may have an adequate
chance to get his photograph into
the yearbook.
Prices are Same.
"For this week at least we can
assure every one that prices will
remain the same. We had con
templated raising the rates be
cause a last minute arrangement
such as this one usually necessi
tates extra help and extra expense.
At present, however, we shall try
and continue at the standard price,
both for junior and senior section
pictures as well as those for fra
ternities and sororities. In case
this concession involves too many
additional costs we may be forced
to raise the rates slightly next
week."
On Jan. 17, the final group of
pictures will be collected at the
studio and the panels will be ar
ranged and sent to the engravers,
according to the editor of the an
nual. It is largely because the
panels are not made up at pres
ent that the Cornhusker staff was
able to grant this additional oppor
tunity to the many students who
still want a place in the yearbook,
ft was intimated yesterday.
Students are advised by the stu
dios to make their appearance at
the studios, either Hauck's or
Townsend's, as soon as possible in
order to avoid a rush on the last
two or three days. Previous to va
cation the photographers found
that the rushed conditions on the
last few days resulted in pictures
which were not quite up to the
regular standard.

closing minutes and then burned

raised to end the battles.
Prove Perfect Host.
Aside from proved efficiency at
basketball the western school ex
erted every effort to act as the per

PROFESSIONS NOT
SO ATTRACTIVE TO
PRINCETON ALUMNI
Alumni of Princeton university,
during the past fifty years, have
swung away from the professions
and are entering more and more
into business, engineering, science
and the arts, according to a re
cent survey published in the Prince
ton Alumni Weekly. Half a cen
tury ago less than two out of five
Princeton men entered business at
the conclusion of their college ca
reers. Today, Aearly two out of
three are active in the business
world.
The article stated further that
the percentage of men studying
ministry had dropped from twelve
to two.
Dr. R. G. Clapp, head of the

ago, to take charge of that work.

'TEACHING MORE
AND MORE ABOUT
LESS AND LESS'
Dr. Gilbert H. Doane, University
of Nebraska librarian, speaking
before the American Library asso
ciation, criticized public school
systems in an address given at
Chicago on Tuesday of last week.
"The tendency today is to spread
thinner and thinner the butter of
scholastic training and teach the
public school boy or girl more and
more about less and less," Dr.
Doane said.
"Schools are ridden with the
pedagogical theories of professional
educators and permeated with the
democratic ideal of education for
everybody, which in the long run
tends to lower the general level t f
intellectual attainment, rather than
elevate it."
Samuel Hall was willing to ex
plain the definition of the word
"Athleticise" to all who inspected
his line of athletic goods twenty
nine years ago.
Nearly Forty Faculty Members
Attend Meeting Over Holidays;
Others See Friends, Relatives
Along with the holiday exodus of University of Nebraska
students from Lincoln nearly two score of instructors left for

read special papers or served on national committees of their
organization. o
Meetings of the American Psy-
chological association, the Ameri
can Archaeological association at
Iowa City, Dec. 29 to 31 drew the
largest number from the univer

structors attended.
A group of eight attended the
annual convention of the Ameri

while several went to professional
meetings in New York City, Chi
cago, Detroit, Boston, Washington,
D. C, Worcester, Mass., and Des
Moines.
Three Nebraskans read special
papers at the American Psycho

logical association meetings from
Nebraska are W. H. Thompson of

freshman adviser in the liberal

at one of the bookstores. The new
Awgwan will sell for 15 cents on
news stands.
Members of Sigma Delta Chi
called at every fraternity and
sorority during the dinner hour
Monday soliciting the support of
those organizations. Aa each group
decided in meeting to accept the

the basketball game some fraterni
ties and sororities postponed their
weekly meetings and it is believed
this cut down the subscription list.

Students in rooming houses may
get smaller block subscriptions at
the rate of fifty cents for five is
