Much depends, I think, on the individual viewpoint. From where I'm sitting, the Huskers' high spot was that 79 ceasful conduct of the rest of the campaign. What did happen at Columbia? Why. Missouri licked the Huskers, that's all. But Missouri played no such schedule as Nebraska and the Sooners played. Missouri was able to lay for both, and inspired and "7' V " TV "T : "V to a great extent powered by the yard march agamst Oklahoma. To brlllint Paul chriatman, Missouri accomplish it, me Kias usea just succeeded about everything that can be cata logued in a varied offense and the efficiency and wisdom with which they used just about every thing was magnificient. There, I say, was the finest sus tained attack to be presented by a Nebraska squad in almost a generation. And It was truly an altogether, one-for-all and all-for-one maneuver; It was the accomp lishment of two grand lineups, It's my notion, then, that the single outstanding brief interval came in the season's last game because it's also my notion that Oklahoma was the toughest team the Huskers met. Nebraska's Huskers get their first taste of basketball competi tion tomorrow night as they face South Dakota U. here in the coli seum. Coach Carl B. Hoy's Coyotes, who won the North Central con ference championship last year, lost two all-conference players in Maynard Ingalls and Rome Ed berg by graduation, but three other first stringers from last year, Quint Evers and Bob Sni der, forwards, and Bob Taplett, guard, are back. Joe Cadwell, a senior, is at the other guard, while John Ptak and O. F. Jacobsen are in the running for center. The Coyotes, who lost to Ne braska 44-30 last year, will be opening their season also. They won ten and lost seven games last season. Hoy, who wjll help con duct the N. U. coaching clinic Saturday, has been head coach at South Dakota since 1928. Men making the trip to Lincoln are forwards Evers, Schoof and Snider; centers Ptak, LaMaster and Jacobson; and guards Burns Cadwell, Solbert and Taplett. The Huskers showed their best form of the year Wednesday aft ernoon as the regulars led by sophomore Lyle King defeated the reserves 55-25. Al Randall, tall center from last year, looked to have regained his scoring eye, having been missing the basket in early drills this season. Pltcaithley captain. Harry Pitcaithley, game cap lain, will start at one forward, and Hartmann Goetze, sophomore, at the other forward post. Ran dall should Ret the call at center, with reliable Don Fitz starting at on guard, and one of two sopho mores, Charley vacant! or bia Held, across from him. King should see quite a bit of service judging from his Wednesday per formance. Lea Livingston, John Hay, Ray Rhoades and Warren Radke are the best of the other sophomores, while Browne has veterans irv Yaffee, Bob Therien and Bud Tallman from last year's first team, along with B teamers Bruce Duncan and Don Schultz ready for action. Guy Best of Wayne and Parke Carroll of Kansas City are the of ficials of the game which will start at eight o'clock. Probable lineups: Pltcaithley f ver OoetM f , Sn'der Randall c..

KNAPP BROTHERS Brockton, Mat. I say brief interval because What after all do you mean by high spot? The real high spot, I submit, was this: For the first time in many a Was there a turning point to the year, the Cornhuskers of 1939 had season? I think there was. I n evcr s-;"b - think It was punctuated by the S' r,urvc'1" Baylor game. The Jones Boys played all-but-flawless football against the southwesterners. And the southwesterners went back to their vast home province to win second place in the Southwest con ference, to lose subsequently only to the champion Texas Aggies. Despite what happened down in fense. Twenty-eight times in nine games they worked their way within their foes' 25-yard line. Eighteen times they scored. Only three times were they held for downs. Only once was a touchdown-intended pass intercepted. Only once was a field goal ruined by the efforts of the other side. That, mates, represents a wnaie the Athens of the Persimmon Belt, of an achievement a-game-after I say the victory over the Bears game achievement, an achievement just about assured generally-suc- few teams can match.
