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

Cornhusker team struggled to re- !

move their girdles. All in all,
however, the yearbookies turned in
a brilliant, consistently unsports
manlike game, considering their
bulging paunches.

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!
