1 Sunday, March 2, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN Daily staff yells 'We want our hatchet back' . . . after humbling Yearbookies By George Abbott. Last October the Cornhuskers barely eked out a victory over the staff of the NEBRASKAN in foot ball and dishonorably. Last Fri day the staff of the NEBRASKAN romped over the Cornhusker staff in basketball honorably, and WE WANT OUR HATCHET BACK! In a game marred by 228 per sonal fouls (four of them called on NEBRASKAN players) the highly vaunted Yearbookies fell before the merciless onslaught of the modest members of the NE BRASKAN'S team. Yearbookies bribe rpf. Getting off to a slow start, the NEBRASKAN team let their op ponents score two baskets (Ah! what a truly sportsmanlike ges ture) before they turned on the heat, and from then on the Martz men were never led. The scorekeepers for the game, consisting of the female members of the Yearbook staff, had some little difficulty in keeping track of the baskets made by the marks men representing the DAILY. Quoted at half-time, Shirley Russel, head score-keeper and busi ness manager of the Cornhusker, said, "Well, what if we did miss 10 or 12 of the baskets the DAILY team made?" Yearbookies score! "The referee said he would raise his arm every time a point was scored, and anyway if he doesn't do a better job the last half he won't get the free yearbook we promised him, so there." Incidentally, the score at half time was 29-17, but after the mumbo-jumbo point juggling of the scorekeepers, the scoreboard read 23-17, with the score at the end of the game, again quoting Miss Russel, "within 10 points -for the DAILY, 33 -for the Corn husker, 27. Deduct from DAILY score. Asked to explain the mysterious mathematical process by which they kept score, Lois Christie, with an angelic look on her pretty face, sighed, "Ohhh,, it was simple. At half-time we merely deducted five points from the DAILY team's score, and so that the points would not be lost entirely, we compen sated matters by adding them onto the Cornhusker score." Avery "Floogie" Forke, who lost a pint and a half of blood in a transfusion Thursday night, it was easy to see, was left by the trans fusiona half -pint. Bob "Bucket less" Aden and John "Jointless" McDermott, the two aces of the yearbookie quintet, showed their complete ignorance of the game by arriving clad in ear-muffs, gloves and ice-skates. The game, which was sched uled to begin at 4 o'clock, was de layed for 30 minutes, while three "1 the athletic members of the ' Cornhusker team struggled to re- !

All in all, however, the yearbookies turned in a brilliant, consistently unsports manlike game, considering their bulging paunches. Outstanding players for the DAILY team were Norman Har ris, Jim Evinger, Bud Walker, Beit Smith.

Palmer and George Abbott, with high scoring honors going to Ab bott and Walker. Harris acted as spark-plug for the team with bril liant passes from back-court, with brilliant assistance by Palmer and Jim "Size 43 pants" Evinger. Intermittently collapses. Palmer and Svoboda amused the crowd of spectators by intermit tently collapsing from exhaustion, while Walker. Smith and Abbott amused themselves by mixing bril liant shots from mid-court with collegiate-like under-basket work. The yearbookie staff, made up of several men never before seen on the campus, was bewildered from the start. They were out played in every department, and when Aden was evicted from the game for carrying (and making use of) a 48 ounce baseball bat, their morale collapsed completely. Put lid on DAILY basket. After Aden's eviction, a lid was placed on the basket of the Daily staff to make the game a little less one-sided, so the Daily con centrated on defense, holding the yearbookies scoreless. The refer ees for the game, Dick Young and Neal Felber, turned in a brilliant performance for the Yearbookies, and should be duly commended for that. However, the Daily forgives the hammerheads of the Cornhusker team for their ignorance, their un sportsmanlike conduct, their con tinual fouling, their amazingly large staff from which to draw players, yes, for all of this we for give them, but, since they re ceived the hatchet trophy for the winning of the football game last fall (dishonorably), and since we won the basketball game 40-19 (honorably) WE WANT OUR HATCHET BACK!
