Hopes to Be Up.

By Ed Steevei.
A weaving, bobbing, and sure
hotted basketball team left the
practice maples last night with
the score, one down and nine to
go against the coming opponents.
All the scholarship impediments
were removed from every squad
man except the burly Harry
Sorenson, guard. Alton Werner,
sophomore, came thru by remov
ing hla down hours yesterday aft
ernoon. Several men this year have
skated unscholarly across the
scholarship ice and too many have
dampened their feet with low
marks to suit the wen in charge.
Grades have not been a figuring
factor in caging at Nebraska for
many a year, but so far this sea
son it is a different story. Altho
Sorenson Is still down, he will be
eligible for Saturday's fray
against Lewandowskl's Montan
ans. Where to Play Parsons.
The experiment of shifting Bob
Parsons, star conference guard, to
a forward is still in the labora
tory stage.
"It depends upon how this in
eligibility turns out as to how Par
sons will finally end up," Browne
declared yesterday.
Sorenson is one of the ablest
floor men of the squad. Without
his services Parsons would be in
dire necessity. With his present
height and point ability his pres
ence at forward makes him look
at home. .
As the team has been lining up
all this week, the points have
ben a bit thicker than last week.
At forward, two-year vet Howard
Baker has added his quota with a
mighty speedy dribbling game and
plenty of pot shots from the foul
circle
Parsons at the other forward is
the fan tickler with his uncon
scious ones from any angle. His
defense is impervious from any
pot of the floor and his passes
tricky,
Ebaugh It O. K.
Floyd Ebaugh, with six feet
and five Inches to spare, controls
the tip like the "candy from a
baby" adage and plays his steady
floor and point game.
In the rear court the doubtful
Sorenson gives a wonderful exhibi
tion of ball handling and follow
In play. He wears a large shoe
to anyone who would like to take
his place.
The last man has been Elmer
Dohrmann thus far with Ebaugh's
height. His post is in danger, how
ever, with the coming of Virgil
Yelkin, who looms up as a big fig
ure In the basketball realm this
year. Dohrmann has the height
advantage under the basket, but
Yelkin Is cat-like and deadly on
baskets.
Montana l Tall.
From the Huskers three oppo
nents on deck for next week's play,
no definite words have been re
ceived as to their win or loss com
plex. It is known, however, that
the first, Montana, is tall and sup
ports a better club than last year.
The next two outfits are Min
nesota and Ohio State, Monday
and Tuesday, respectively.
This week's Husker workouts
have been devoted to the same les
son which they have dwelled all
season: that is the fundamentals
of breaking fast and smearing the
same on defense.
Amen, White, Schock. Baxter,
Elliott and Hale are giving every
vasity man some severe nudging
for regulars' spots. White alone
collected ten tallies night before
last against Dana college.

Connecticut College is joining
hands with Wesleyan University
this year as far as drama is con
cerned. The former school, a wom

males In all roles in the past. With
cooperation from Wesleyan men,
the performances should be more
realistic.

There's an old saying that
"pvArvthlne- comes to him Who
waits." Well, Harry Sorenson who
missed out of last year- cage com
petition is getting his undue re
ward, it's the same old story of
stumbling over a scholastic hurdle,
and with little hopes mat soren
son, vet guard, can clear the tim
ber in time for the Montana-Nebraska
curtain raiser Saturday
night, Basketball Coach Harold
Browne has reason to appear wor
ried. Things weren't in order last
week when the Huskers dropped
their initial tilt to South Dakota
33 to 31, and with Sorenson out
of the picture, Nebraska's chances
of pulling a victory out of the
fire aren't so hot. Sorenson's in
eligibility marks the first varsity
man to be ineligible for athletics
for some time around here. Too,
too bad, but athletes and profs
are like that!
Dana X. Bible It vacationing
In Fort Worth and San Antonio,
Tex., the state that Is bidding
fervently for his services at
head football coach of the Long
horn Institute. The Dally Texan,
U. of Texas' student newspaper,
started the whole thing by talk
ing Bible after Jack Chevigny's
contract was not renewed. Talk
of Bible as Texas' next grid
master and athletic director
spread until it reached the sub
ject's own ears.
"Dana X. Bible, Nebraska foot
ball coach and former Texas Ag
gie mentor, Jimmle Brinkley,
president of Texas' student body,
said, would be contacted by the
student council with an offer of
$12,000 per year and a five" year
contract," wrote the Dally
Texan.
Whether or not D. X. was of
ficially approached is not known,
but he made public this telegram
which went to the Daily Texan.
"The University of Texas is a fine
institution, and I think any coach
should consider it a compliment to
be considered as athletic director
and football coach. The connec
tion of my name with the Texas
position is simply a rumor. We
are happily situated at Nebraska,
and if the people will bear with
us, I have a feeling our address
will be Lincoln for some time to
come," read D. X.'s reply.
Despite D. X.'s negative re
sponse, Jimmle Brinkley, whose
moves on the Longhorn campus
have nearly resulted in his ex
pulsion from the Institute, is
still attempting to bring D. .
to Texas. With D. X. on fur
lough in the state of Texas, I
hope that any approach made by
Texas or any other coach-seeking
institute continues to meet
with a negative response by one
of the finest gentlemen ever con
nected with Nebraska's athletic
dom...Dana X. Bible.

SCHEDULED TODAY
New Big Six Rules Apply
to Bouts, Adams
Indicates.
First round tryouts for the
Cornhusker varsity wrestling team
will be staged at 4 o'clock this
afternoon on the sub-coliseum
floor. In a lecture yesterday,
Coach Jerry Adams Informed the
contestants of the new point sys
tem of scoring to be used in Big
Six grappling meets, and further
admonished them that this plan
would be inaugurated in today's
matches.
Out to abscond with a victory,
the following performers are
scheduled to take part in the ini
tial round trials: 118 lbs., Mil
bourn Knight vs. Fred Webster;
126 lbs., Leland Clair vs. James
Knight; 135 lbs.. Bill Luke vs. Ray
Larson; 145 lbs., Eddie Sauer vs.
Keith Carter; 155 lbs., Darrow
Bauder vs. Adams; 165 lbs., Ned
Anderson vs. Don Flasnick; 175
lbs., Carl Yost vs. Loren Simons;
heavyweight, Charley Brock vs.
Jack Hutcherson.
Of the above group, the Knight
brothers, Milbourn and James;
Eddie Sauer, Darrow Bauder, Ned
Anderson and Carl Yost are indi
vidual champs of the all university
bonetwisting tourney held last
week while Charley Brock and
Jack Hutcherson, heavyweights,
battled to a tie in the same con
test. Freddy Webster, Ray Lar
son. Don Flasnick and Loren
Simons are letter winners from
last season's outfit. Leland Clair
was 126 lb. runnerup in the all
school embroglio and Bill Luke,
Keith Carter and Adams gained
semifinal rounds.
Bi-Weekly Tryouts.
After the bonebenders return
from the Christmas recess, a
menu of several more bi-weekly
squad tryouts will be dished out
to them with the hope that they
will gulp them avaraciously. Work
and more work, opines Mentor
Adams, should bring the tusslers
into fine fettle for the strenuous
schedule of 1937.
This year's engagements entail
the Huskers' meeting several for
midable foes on eastern battle
fronts. On Feb. 25, the Adammen
will officially report in the east
by invading Lancaster, Pa., ren
dezvous of Franklin and Marshall
college for a meet. The rest of
their itinerary has bookings for
duals with Temple university at
Philadelphia, Feb. 26; U. S. Naval
academy at Annapolis, Feb. 27
Kent State university at Kent, O.
and will wind up with the Iowa
Hawkeyes at Iowa City, March 2
Weary and languid from many
hours or traveling and wrestling.
the Huskers will have but few
days in which to polish their wares
for the Big Six championship
tourney to be held in the coliseum
March 5 and 6. A good showing
in this tournament would greatly
enhance the Nebraskan s possi
bilities of going to the National

it is very scant, as yet, the shim-

what it will look like Saturday

"It is Nebraska's first Christmas
tree, and now when the Christmas
spirit fairly tingles in the air, the
magical appearance of the Christ
mas tree on the campus Saturday
will almost make us believe the
stories we heard when we were
children that there are Christmaa

of all things even to an old fir
tree on the campus."

On the front page of the follow-

reporter wrote: "While the tall
pine tree blazed with a hundred
brightly colored lights, and with
Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond and Dr.
Winnifred Hyde leading, the stu
dents sang "Silent Night," and
several others of the old and ever
good Christmas songs.
"And there was something so
peaceful, and yet so inspiring in
singing the songs in the quiet, cold
air that a friendlier spirit seemed
to shine out with the lights on the
tree.

acted as ringmaster, introduced
the individual acts and Martha
Morrow accompanied group forma
tions by beating rythms on a
drum.
A rosebud formation and a pin

by a group of 20 swimmers and
individual performances were
given by several small groups. Ac
cordian floating, horse and rider

DEFEAT FREMONTERS
Werner, White Set Scoring
Pace in 38 to 16 Win;
Guards Shine.
Coach Wilbur Knight's "B" quin
tet took its second victory of the
season by administering a 38-16
whipping to Midland college Wed
nesday night at the Holdrege
street campus gym. Just Tuesday
(he Husker reserves invaded the
haunts of Dana college at Blair
and returned home on the long end
of a 39-27 triumph. The only blem
ish on their record is a close loss
last week to Luther college of Wa
hoo. Skillful ball handling and me
thodical execution of plays result
ed in a 25 to 8 lead at the Inter
mission for the Nebraska "B"
clique. The Warriors from Fremont
were swept off their feet by the
initial half bnsketballing of the
Knightmen, and many times they
were in a quandry as to the where
abouts of the ball.
Nary a time did the Fremonters
jeopardize the comfortable margin
of the Knightmen. White, Grimm,
Scott and Schock, reserve guards,
proved to be as vigilant as the
proverbial Gibraltar Rock, stem
ming off countless scoring at
tempts of the Midlanders. These
wards did not content themselves
with turning in a creditable job as
watchmen, but they also went out
and made several counters.

partment, and one by Reginald
French, instructor of this depart
ment, appear in the autumn num
ber of Books Abroad, internation
