By ED STEEVES. .In one of llio unsalticsl. demonstrations of basketball ever presented on the Cornhnslcev hardwoods Coach AV. H. Browne's shock troops collected the heavy bounty of 4S-27 on the South Dakota university Coyotes Monday evening. With the bench habitation completely revolutionized Huskcr fans saw the in- take our northern neighbors into camp unassisted in their own in imitable way that mixed occa sional spots of well oiled caging with erratic passing and mirth fetching acts of unavoidable comedy. A near capacity crowd tunneled through drifts and seemed well compensated in spite of the list less brand of ball. Like a stiff game of follow-thc-leader the Da- kotans matched almost every tally of the Huskers through the entire first half, tying tne score at 17-all as the stop watch needle neared intermission time. Early Lead. The only time when the invad ers held a point advantage over the Brownemen was for nearly a minute after McDowell sank the ice breaker in the initial two min utes of play.

Elmer Dohrmann followed In for a pair of points only a split second before Lcacox broke into the point column again, giving the Scarlet an 11-2 margin. Probably the most spectacular man of the evening waa little Bob Buck, who had a well mastered passing attack and who was slick er than an oiled eel with his drib bling. It was he who lifted the gloom from the Dakotan picture by salting away three counters and giving impetus to a belated rally. Amen tallied and Homcycr, McGinty, McDowell, and Bill Ry an dusted the net for eleven points to match Dohrmann's 2 and Hale's pair. At this point, perhaps the highest point of in terest of the entire fracas, found a balanced score board of 17-17. The fans in suspense soon found cause t.o exhale sharply as Nelson and Hale gave an unpre meditated exhibition of piggy back. Nelly regained his equilibri um, however, and came through with a duo of unconscious over head flips, as the gun sounded Nebraska 21, South Dakota 19.
