day night when Mentor Adolph
Lcwendowski leads his cagers into
their inaugural with South Da
kota. Tast history of South Dakota-
Husker frays reveals that Ne
braska has learned to respect the
smaller northern team. Always
the schedule curtain-raiser, the
Sodaks have a habit of forgetting
they're a schedule-opener and out-
score the Scarlet hoopsters.
Strong Detense.
A stron? defensive unit is in
prospect along the Husker front,
tho the offensive performance
may not equal the 1941-42 squad.
Loss of the top scorer, Sid Held,
and Lcs Livingston via graduation
hampers the cuircnl ciuds oucn

Veterans available include
Johnny Fitzgibbon, a standout in
1940-41 and namperea iasi yeai

defensive performer who is a re

has finally agreed to show up
against the Daily staff for an ath
letic contest, namely, basketball.
Altho dubious about playing,
the Comhuskcrs willingly accepted
when a pony was offered to the
winning team. The time of the
game is 3:00 Sunday afternoon in
the coliseum; students who wish
to attend the game must bring
their activity tickets (or their
equivalent) in order to take part
in the after-game( ?) activities.
Becker Trains Team.
fVaeh A. L. Becker of the vear-
bookers has been working out daily
with her sauad of 15. of whom
only four or five are expected to
show up. cruet inrcar. or. me
underdosr team is "Eagle-boagle-
nose" Dick Foe, who in lugn scnooi
compiled the enviable record of
21 noints per came. The front
line for the team most likely will
be John Free-thrower" Cook and

book cs. let s take a iook ai mc
hotter ball club.
The Raff has many veteran
K-iskethnll nlavers to choose from.
Sharpshooting Bob Miller swished
th Phi Gams to the Intramural
basketball championship last year.
Showing uncanny speed, Miller
potted point after point to beat
the Betas in the final game last
year, 26 to 25.
Torrid Nor-Nor.
Arain the Raff is makinff a con
cession to the Cornhuskers by
letting torrid Norris Anderson
play half of the game on uie year
hookie team. Altho sports editor
of the Rag, Norrie also works on
Cornhuskers (and not uie dooksj.
Undoubtedly, he shall again be
on the winmnsr team.
The Raff has manv other "name"
players. Alan Jacobs was a lead
inr ficure in B team basketball
the past two seasons. Ex-Omaha
North Wrestler Bill Palmer has
threw manv a basketball thru the
hoon. Gene Sherman probaDiy
will hold down one guard; Johnny
Bauermeister will be sinking long
ones from the other guard spou
Aid from Burwell.
Waterbov for the Rag club will
be Georcia Abbott former Bur-
well Junior high star. During his
tenure with the Burwell narn
burners, Abbott was noted for his
loutcourt "push" shots. He failed
to tally only against bananius
Junction when the oooosinff coach
assigned ten performers and the
enure Dieacner section to covering
him.
But here's the big news of the
game. Making his first public
appearance will be handsome
Carton Broderick, columnist for
the rag. Altho he will play with
a mask on, fans will have no
trouble in identifying Carton once
they see his Hercules build.
Yearbookie Instructions.
This is the first year that the
two staffs will engage in the
friendly game of basketball. For
those Cornhuskers who undoubt
edly have forgotten the principles
of the game since last winter,
here is the general idea of the
game: Basketball is played with
a ball, players dribble the ball,
between the hoops players shoot
the ball, and, by the way, the
game is being played on the day
after the Military Ball.
Following the game the usual
Rag-Cornhusker festieities will
take place. Over mugs of peace
the Rag shall gloat over the easy
triumph, rerhaps in 1930, if UN
has such silly thinps as Corn
huskers then, the basketball series
will be revived.

Inausniral dip into Big: Six waters will occur January 5
when Mentor "Lew" Lewendowski herds his proteges down
to Manhattan for battle with the K-State Wildcats. If Ihere
remains a parcel of revenue in reierence to tne wildcat gna
triumph, Monday will be the time to erase said parcel.
Main problem facing Lewendowski thus far lies been to
find a team sparkplug equal to the 1941-12 dazzler, Sid Held.

Top candidates lor lieid s spot as teaiure artist can ve mm
cated by simply listing the returning letteraien. All return
ing hands are strictly "team." performers and indiidual
sparklers are more scarce than caviar at company mess.
Ilard-workinf? "Moxie" Young and Johnny Thompson, two
aggressive performers, perform tops defensively but neither can
qualify as consistent ollensive narncauer. uamncappou oy a
knee injury during the 1941-42 season, Johnny Fitzgibbon
should return to his sophomore form when he was the spark
plug in several irays.
Kenny Elson, a strong- late -season contender lasi year, ana
Bob Heinzelman, potentially a top scoring threat, form a jun-
lor brace oi periormers capaoie oi lgnnmg ioai name. iumi
Botorff, a capable all-round performer, will probably renew his
1941-4 status as sqnaa nanayman. .ivunor teiitr wmutr &i
Artman. a capable ball-handler and adept floor man, is also
ready for a front-line berth.
Indication points strongly at this early season point that
Turanlnu-ki has in tow a proun of "team" nerformers. If
one or two individuals develop into sparkplugs, the Cornhuskers
may surprise on the court this term.
