FUNDAMENTALS
Two Basic Drills Scheduled
Before Vacation; Squad
To Scrimmage After.
Still hammering hard on the an
vil of fundamentals In order to
temper a championship basketball
quintet, Coach W. H. Browne In
tends to give his men two more
basic drills this week and then
reward their efforts with a
"breather" lasting until Monday,
Dec. 2. The continuance of the
workouts will be less monotonous
in the fact that they will be puncu
ated more frequently with scrim
mages. The pair of remaining practices
will be devoted to quick break
plays, dribbling, goal shooting, lay
in shots, and close guarding drills.
The former, with the expected alti
tude of the new squad, are antici
pated to be a deadly weapon in
the coming schedule. With twenty-odd
candidates for varsity
berths, the coaching staff intends
to spare no time or efforts in the
pre-schedule period.

ltsk shores. The Mediterranean
was fast becoming an English
lake. France besides having Al
gerla also had Corsica, which was
a thorn in the side of new Italy.
She also feared France might re
store the pope to his temporal
power. On the north and east Aus
tria menaced. She felt her borders
must be rectified.
Feeling the need of friends Italy
in 1877 thru her minister, Crisi
sounded out the various capitals
t of Europe and concluded that Ger
many was her best friend. In the
next vear at the coneress of Ber
lin the Italian envoy failed to re
ceive any consideration while Aus
tralia acquired Bosnia and England
annexed Cypress. This humiliation
. made the Italians feel their isola
tion In Europe. They would try
Africa.
They cast their eyes across the
Mediterranean and fixed their am
bitions on Tunis. But France had
the same ambition and seeing her
interests In danger marched her
troops into Tunis in 1881 and ex
tended a protectorate over it.
Again Italy turned to Germany
not realizing that Bismark s astute
diplomacy caused her to be
thwarted by Austria in 1878 and
by France in 1881. He now per
suaded Italy to forget her old
enmity toward Austria and join
0 the defensive military triple al
liance. From this time on she was
much influenced by the German
idea of imperialism and expansion.
Feeling her Importance as a
member of the triple alliance she
revived the old dream of colonial
empire. In 1885 she established an
Italian colony on the Red Sea
where Italian merchants were al
ready operating. This territory,
Eritria, is a sandy waste and valu
able only as it gives access to the
fertile regions of Abyssinia. But
when Italian troops in 1887 at
tempted to invade the highlands
of Abyssinia they were cut down
at DogalL
A, the same time by a series of
treaties with native chiefs, Crispi
secured the rocky coast land bor
dering on the Indian ocean, called
Somaliland.
He also signed in 1889 the
treaty of Ucciali with Menelek,
Negus of Abyssinia, by which he
p gained some territory for Italy.
But the important feature of this
treaty was a clause differently in
terpreted by the two nations and
which led to conflict between them
later. The Italians claimed that
Abyssinia pledged a definite obli
gation to be represented abroad
by Italy while Menelek claimed it
only gave Abyssinia the privilege
of calling on Italy for such repre
sentation when she desired it.
Then Negus renounced the
treaty and Crispi sent an army of
100,000 men to attack Abyssinia.
This ended in a terrible slaughter
of Italian troops at Adowa, March
1, 1896. It Is this defeat that Mus
sol in i claims to have avenged when
a few weeks ago his armies
dropped bombs on the helpless
city. To this destruction ne reiers
as "the dories of Adowa." The
treaty which was dictated by
Abyssinia after the Italian defeat
" in 1896 annulled the treaty or uc
ciali.
But Italy had not yet given up
her idea of colonial expansion. In
1906 she joined with Great Bn
tain and France in a characteristic
W pre-war treaty. The Tripartite
agreement of London in which the
three nations ruaranteed "to main
tain intact the integrity of Ethi
pia," but also described the way
in which it was to be divided up
among them. Naturally Abyssinia
protested this treaty.
Another attempt to gain colonial
possessions was made by Italy in
1911. This time she was more suc
cessful. She cast her eyes again
on the northern coast of Afnca.
After years of effort to secure it
by diplomacy and negotiation sne
sent the Turkish government an
ultimatum and landed troops in
Tripoli, September, 1911. It re
quired more than a year to pacify
the wild tribes In Tripoli ana
Cyrenica an dthey were annexed
to Italy under the generic name
of Libya. At the same time she

seized the group of islands in the
Aegean sea known as the Dode
canese. Bribed Into Treaties.
In 1915 Italy entered the Great
war. She did not take this step
with any spirit of idealism. She
was bribed in secret treaties by
Great Britain and France with
promises of colonial concessions in
Asia Minor and east Africa to
abandon the triple alliance and
enter on the side of the Allies.
Italy has never since considered
this promise as moral and diplo
matic support for her ambitions in
Abyssinia. She was, however, dis
appointed in the awards of the
peace treaty of 1919. In 1922 Italy
passed under the domination of the
fascists with Mussolini as dictator.
The next year with Italy's support
Abyssinia entered the League of
Nations and promised to put an
end to slavery. According to the
slavery report to the League of
Nations, 1935, she has made pro
gress. But Mussolini announces
that he intends to put an end to
slavery in Abyssinia,
In 1925 an agreement was made
between Great Britain and Italy
regarding the free flow of the
waters of the Blue and the White
Nile in Soudan and Eg3'pt. Britain
asked for Italian support for a
concession for a barrage on Lake
Tana and a motor road between
Lake Tana and Soudan. Italy in
turn asked for British support for
a concession for a railway connect
ing Eretria with Italian Somoli-
land passing west of Adis Ababa
and for exclusive economic inter
ests in West Ethiopia. Italy had
proposed this treaty in 1919 but
Great Britain had if fused her
support until 1925. Mussolini then
reminded Great Britain of her
promises for colonial concessions
made in the secret treaties of 1915
and of Britain's efforts in 1919 to
make good those promises. Again
Abyssinia resented this agreement
made without her consent and ad
dressed a protest to the League of
Nations, June 19. 1926. Italy"s re
ply assured Emperor Haile Selas
sie that "there was nothing to

With these promises of friend'
ship made so recently Italy pre
pared and launched an attack on
this backward country, 1934-1935
Mussolini boldly proclaims that
he will take by force this terri'
tory which will serve his needs.
To sum up at this point: Italy
had gained in the scramble for
colonies between 1885 and 1912
only the infertile lands of Eretria,
and Italian Somaliland in East
Africa, and Libya in North Africa
with a few islands in the Aegean.
Obviously her ambitions are much
greater. Italy is heavily overpopu-
lated and her population is in
creasing by about 400,000 every
year. Mussolini urges the women
of Italy to produce large families
and in this he is supported by the
Catholic church. Italy lacks coal
and iron, raw materials for her
industries and food for her peo
ple. She hopes that' she will find
these things in Abyssinia as well
as an outlet for her overpopula
tion. THREE SHUTOUTS

Big Six Upsets.
With the Huskers out of the
picture in the Big Six, great
things have been happening along
the five other ironts to determine
who's" going to occupy the place
next to the Huskers which is
quite an honor this year. While
Oklahoma was staying out of en
tanglements over the week end to
prepare for the Thanksgiving day
misup, Iowa State was springing
one of the major upsets of the
conference schedule in whipping
Kansas. 21 to 12.
Meanwhile Missouri was man
aging to tie with Kansas State.
However, it didn't help her stand
ing in the league appreciably, for
she's stilt down in the bottom of
the house, with small chance of
getting out. Just above her is
Iowa State, with her schedule
completed.

being returned to the bottom half
of the standings, they also threw
the second-place position into a
precarious situation.
Oklahoma, having done her bit
in her five games, is roosting just
below Nebraska, and finishes up
with Oklahoma A. & M. at Nor

do some dirty work, for ir she
loses to Kansas at Lawrence, the
Jayhawks will have risen from
third place into a tie with the
Sooners for second. And then the

which most of Nebraska recalls as
one of the supreme tragedies of
the football world, the word Bier

he will do no more than scout the
Huskers as they meet Oregon

finale of the season.
The Gophers finished their

the Huskers and Beavers two
