Basketball team drops (JSC
109-10 for national crown
Nebraska U's basketball team
won the United States champion
ship Saturday night at the Kansas
City municipal auditorium, when
they walloped the University of
Southern California, 109-10 in the
final game of the three-month
tournament.
The Huskers had beaten In

Kansas to enter the finals. Coach

The red-shirted Harvard team
made a fine showing against the
deep blue spring sky in scrimmage
Saturday afternoon, while the blue
Yale team contrasted well with
the grey stadium. But the pink
shirts of the athletic managers
seemed just a bit out of the mood
of the afternoon's play.
Among the better dreised mn
playing the rougn game were
Johnny Thompson and Bob Bur
russ in White night-caps made
from old underwear. Ed Schwartz
kopf, tastily arrayed with his shirt
outside his pants, looked like the
original man from Mars. During
one of the rougher moments of the
game, Vike Francis suffered a
slight tear In the back of his Jer
Bey revealing something "hot
pink" underneath.
The bright green grass made a
pleasant setting for the thudding
of the thundering herd, and ac
cording to many sports writers,
eacn team showed a great deal of
spirit. One of the lines, the red
one I think, was remarked upon by
june as being good.
A freshman named either Brad
ley or Broady was also said to be
playing a wonderful game. For
benefit of the girls now lining up
football prospects for next fall, he
is at present unattatched and
looks like the typical football
player clear to the ears.
Some one also yelled something
profane, which, of course, I didn't
understand, about somebody
named Burruss doing a little run
ana rail Just right.
Several of the players were ar
rayed in . a little bow-and-arrow
arrangement across the face which
seemed to made it hard to blow
the nose through, and others had
on one red and one blue sock,
probably due to color blindness.
At two different points In the
game, touchdowns were made.
missed the first due to the fact
that I was watching the place
where the ball wasn't, and when
the second came, I was just walk

backed up against to avoid being
hit In the midriff by 311 pounds of
Drawn driving down the field.
The final score was in favor of
one team, and the players trot
-'d gracefully off the fields to the
,dr
dressing rooms as the golden sun
sank lower in the west.

George "Jitters" Seeman, glam

his long row of trophies as he won
the International Jitterbug contest
held in New York, recently.
The frail-looking, long haired
Husker gave out a statement spe
cial to the Daily on winning the
ruby-plated diadem and laureal
wreath at New York.
He said: "I sure do like to jit
terbug. It's lots more fun than
playing football. I have been keep

Huskers' action
CHICAGO. Announcement was
made here late last, night of Ne
braska's entrance into the Big Ten
as a new member replacing Chi
cago university, which withdrew
recently.
Coach "Biff" Jones of the Husk
ers stated, "I'm extremely happy
to be in the Big Ten, since the Big
Six is such small time stuff."
An invitation was wired the
Husker athletic office yesterday,
and a hurriedly called meeting of
the athletic board of control Baw
that board unanimously approve
Nebraska's entrance.
Pittsburgh and Michigan State,
mentioned as leading contenders
for the open berth, were far down
the list, since Beloit and Knox col
leges would have fought it out for
the open position had not Ne
braska accepted.
Nebraska's schedule next fall in
cludes Iowa U., Indiana and Min
nesota. However, Kansas univer
sity and Pittsburgh will be dropped
from the Husker schedule to allow
Nebraska to face ' Purdue and
Northwestern.
Eddie Sumanlchowski, the
DAILY'S star reporter, is respon
sible for ferreting out the story.
It was not to be released for two
weeks yet, but the omnipresent
Sumanlchowski scooped every pa
per in the country when he took a
plane to Chicago, and at the point
of a gun, obtained the great news.
An all-day rally will be held to
day to celebrate the event, with
classes being dismissed.
Jean Kinder, prominent Lincoln
lte, opposed the Huskers' entrance
into the Western conference. He
said: "The University of Nebraska
is far better off, financially.
morally, and athletically, to stay
in the Big Six, which is practic
ally rolling in money whereas the
Big Ten is nearly bankrupt Any
way, the Big Ten championship
winner can't play In any of the
bowls, and Nebraska was nearly
assured of a place in the Sun Bowl
next year.'

'Mons. Angel'
to teach here
modern dancing
Maurice Tillet, or "The Angel,"
will be guest instructor of the
women's department of physical
education here from now until the
close of school, as he will teach
NU coeds the elements of the
modern dance.
The Angel, who is a wrestler
by profession, has impressed the
sports world by his agility and
handsome mien, and is bound to
become a favorite of all the girls.
Miss Mabel Lee, head of the de
partment, announced that any uni
versity girl, whether or not she
is taking physical education at
present, can take the course. At
present she is being swamped by
would-be registrants who are
flocking to study undY'r the Angel.

Jones reconciled.
Coach Jones was also reconciled
to the loss of Bob DeFruiter. De
Fruiter will not be available to
the football team, because he has
received a scholarship to Chicago
university because of his scholas
tic accomplishments.
It Is also doubtful that several
other members of the team will
be back next fall, especially one
lineman and two backs. The three
of them are slated for Phi Beta
Kappa honors, and one is devoting
his time to his studies this spring
and is not out for football.
The other two, though who were
Rhodes Scholarship prospects,
were disappointed at the cancella
tion of the scholarships because of
the war, so are not at present
studying so hard. All three of
them, though, have applied for fel
lowships at the Chicago Institute
of Philosophy, and should they re
ceive them, will leave school here.
Trackmen
last in state
college meet
Nebraska's hapless track team
finished last in the all-state track
meet for the tenth year in a row,
as Hebron college, York. Crelgh
ton and Hastings won the first
four places.
Only Husker to come near win
ning was Lloyd Wright who has
just become eligible. He finished
fourth in the hundred yard dash.
Harry Hunt, tho, showed distinct
improvement in the pole vault, as
he cleared ten feet to finish in a
three-way tie for thirteenth.
Red Littler, as usual, brought
up the rear in the sprints. He,
however, was eighth in the discus,
and ninth in the mile run, which
he did in 6:38.7.
Harold Brooks dropped out of
both the mile and half-mile after
the first hundred yards, to save
himself for the javelin throw in
which he finished tenth, throwing
it 210 feet, 7 inches.
