And in this corner! 1939!
The fleeting hours of '38
brought comfort and pain to
Cornhusker fans, for the nine tour
ing cagers, besides shlnnying up
next to starlets and touring
studios upped and won themselves
a couple of swell basketball
games, then dropped two to the
same teams they conquered.
New Years eve may have seen
next fall's footballers resolving to
carry off conference and Intersec
tlonal laurels come next football
season.... we hope so!
Oklahoma' Soonert traveled
some 1500 miles to drop their
first game of the 1939 season
to Tennessee 17 to 0, with Corn
husker a bit disappointed. Re
port that Vol Coach Neyland
had tried to get the Blffer to re
lay Information on the Sooner
had Nebraskan strongly anti-volunteer.
Charlie Brock showed west
coast fans that his bid for All
American honors the past season
was no bluff, but Dan Hill and Ki
Aldrieh lived up to their names
also, $o no one will be able to tell
which of the three Is the best cen
ter until they meet in pro games,
which they may do,
Bitsy Grant bobbed up to cart
off Sugar bowl tennis honors, top
ping Gene Mako ii the finals and
putting in another bid for Davis
tup fame. The little guy isn't to
be denied.
Southern Cal's last minute
touchdown was perhaps the great
est thrill of the football season
with 91.000 fans looking on. The
radio account of the game was
tops In the day s broadcasting,
better than Husing's account of
the Sooner game mainly because
the game was a better one to
watch.
Davey O'Brien's work boosted
the little one skyhigh in every
one s estimation, as he ran,
kicked and passed T. C. 17. to a
great victory over hern s Soots In
the Sugar bowl.
So 1939 started off with a bang
s far as sports are concerned.
The bowl classics, all in all were
far more thrilling, had a lot more
show and were much classier than
the 1938 contests
The race for Big Six basket
ball honors will start this week
and should be a Interesting as
last years tourney. After Ne
hraska's good showing on the
coast against some of the nation's
best, critics are inclined to boost
the Cornhuskers into a predeterm
ined third place. Kansas and
Oklahoma are still tied for first
in most sports writers' eyes. The

Opening their Pacific coast
barnstorming tour the day after
Christmas, the Cornhuskers upset,
46 to 43, a strong California uni
versity quintet, who had a few
evenings before defeated Bradley

Nebraska accuracy from the
free throw line gave the Ne

in on 16 out of 22 of their free
throws.
The Huskers led most of the
way, leading at the half, 22 to 19;
but had to fight to stave off a
fighting finish by the Californians.

Earth Scientist Gives
Wheat Price Review
Speaking before the Association
of American Geograpners ai Janv
bridge, Mass., Dr. Nels A. Bengt
son, chairman of the university
geography department, explained
Friday that "within exporting
areas the lowest farm prices are
likely to be found on the divides
between great transportation
routes or between great terminal
markets."
Dr. Bengtson. whose address
centered Itself on the relation be
tween the farm price of wheat ami
the main transportation routes of
the nation, based his statements
on the results of a survey cover
ing the period between 1915 and
193d, including a span of years
long enough to minimize the ab
normal effects of war and dopres

Former 'Rag' Editor,
Now Jungle Cameraman,
Completes 'Booloo" Film
It took the cyclone of 1913 to
make Clyde Elliott, a former Daily
Nebraskan editor and later an
Omaha newspaperman, the world's
best known jungle cameraman.
Because of the cyclone this man
left Omaha to make a vocation of
his hobby of making moving pic
tures. He was the man who filmed
"Bring 'Em Back Alive" for
Frank Buck and who has lust
completed, "Booloo," which he
produced, directed and filmed him
self in the wilds of Malayasia.
Three years ago when F.lliott
was last here he said that the
jungle pictures such as "Bring 'Em
Back Alive were faked and that
few of the thrills were genuine.
Elliott is his own boss for the first
time in "Booloo" and has made
the real thrills. This picture will
open at a local theater Sunday.
