Friday, December 5, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN ,1 Basketball Substitutes for Gridiron Fundamentals Maintain Hold in Practices Ad fiewamlowski Drills Basket Squad in Major Points in Early Sessions Mentor Adolph Lewandowski's Cornhusker cape club continued preparations Thursday for the Dec. 12 fray with the South Da kota flippers. Fundamnetals were the source of attention during the drill as the Husker mentor attempted to improve the Huskers' ball-handling. Shooting, always an early season problem, also was given attention. Hartman Goetze, St. Joseph courtster, continued to hold down the varsity pivot post. Sid Held, lanky 6-4 contender for All-Big Six laurels, teamed with Max Young at the guard spots. Johnny Thompson and John Fitzgibbon, small but speedy performers, manned the forward berths. Second team positions were oc cupied by John Hay and Les Liv ingston, forwards; Lyle King, cen ter, and Charles Vacanti and John Botoroff, guards. Nebraska's pe rennial 11-man traveling squad, a goal for soph cagers, will find a bevy of potent first-year cagers scrapping for the extra berth. Engineering Frat Initiates Six Initiation of six new members of Pi Tau Sigma, national mechan ical engineering honorary, will take place Dec. 10. These members were elected Nov. 25.

Bids to run in the meet that is the big track event of the south during the winter season were sent out earlier to five other quarter mil- ers. . . . Evidently the Sugar Bowl officials had noticed that they had neglected the runner that copped the event last year. . . . They sent a bid and Littler accepted. A Vote of Confidence Major Lawrence McCeney Jones, athletic director at the uni versity, has been given a vote of confidence. ... At the meeting of the athletic board yesterday, he was given a renewal contract for five years. . . . Evidently the action met with the Major's ap proval and he announced that there would be no personnel changes in the coaching staff for the next season. Confidence? There is such a thing as being sure of yourself. . . . And then again. . . . Coach Don Faurot does more than guess about the out come of his Tigers in the Sugar Bowl aerainst Fordham. ... In fact he predicts the winner which is none other than . . . Missouri. Annual Tussle A post season tilt that is of bowl-like proportions will be on tap Saturday. . . . The occasion will be the merciless slaughter of the Cornhusker yearbookies by the Daily Dracula team. ... Of course the crowd (pre-game esti mates place the crowd at 40,000 in round figures) will not get much of a chance to see the Year bookies in action due to the fact that the Daily team will have it most of the time. ... At any rate, it should be a good contest in spite of the Daily's competition and spectators will be amply re warded for braving the elements. . . . 2:30 p. m. Saturday will be the kick-off time. Line (Continued from Page 1.) back and half-wit. The Draculas' formidable line reading from right end to the other end are Harold Bremers, Ed Hirsch, George Ab bott, Phil Cantor, Morton Zuber, Ben Novicoff and Helen Kelley's stand-in, Harold Hopkins, who knows more about a pig's skin than a pigskin. The Cornhusker at the last deadline was unable to complete a full team, but will probably scare up something before game time that is, if they haven't heard about "it." Rippling Russel, the Year book coach, in an "off the record statement revealed that her team was badly out of condition taking for example Ed Calhoun, who now is so weak, he can't even grow hair.
