Speedy B-Men
Triumph,34-26
Over Air Corps
Topping all previous contests in
snepd and spirit and hnrrlprinir
somewhat on the spectacular, Hes-
lers Hustlers last night fought
their way to a 34 to 26 win over
the Air Corns. Comnanv B holds
the lead as the round-robin tour
ney goes into its second half, and
it looks definitely as tho the deci
sion wil lie between Comnanv B
and Company C, with the former
holding a slight edge on the
strength of their 37 to 28 defeat
of the Smithmen two weeks ago.
Nothing was lacking In last
night's game.
Attendance was to be compul
sory at first, but this order was
rescinded at the last minute. Yet
those Who shied nwav from this
seemingly "GI" basketball missed
a contest as aorinn-nnrifpri nnri
thrilling as any we might have
flocked to in our civilian roller
days, in snort, it was a lulu.
No tourney precedents were
broken when both teams started
poorly. It seemed, too, that the
tendency toward close games was
to De adhered to also, until late
in the second half when Comnanv
B brok away from a 22 to 22
oeaaiocK to score 12 points to the
Air uorps 4.
Air Corps Takes Early Lead.
Brady and Jessen were the first
to hit. and after e-aininc a K tn
. j : . .. . . . -
advantage in me opening minutes,
the Hustlers slipped to the short
end of an 11 to 5 score. Fuller
then dumped in a foul shot. Baker
folowed with two baskets and
Scheer wtih one, while Rogers
bucketed one for the Birdmen. and
the half ended at 14 to 13 fa vor
of Company B. In the second half
levers mounted nigh as the lead
see-sawed back and forth between
the two teams. Towards the end
however, the Hustlers found their
groove with Brown, Fuller, Scheer
and Jesson hitting the hemp con
sistently.

Mama Plays
Too Roughly
(Ed. Note: Our well-known Field
House critic and journalist ven
tures into the field of music and
gives us a good review of "the
dream song of the century.)
You don't realize how silly these
modern songs are until you an
alyze them. Take "Pistol Packin'
Mama," for instance.
"Drinking beer in a Cabaret,
and were we having fun "Now
who is he trying to kid. Cabai'ets
are so crowded these days you
simply can't have fun in them,
and your darned lucky if you can
get IN one. And I understand
they're trying to ration beer now:
one jigger to a person.
"Until one night she caught me
right, and now I'm on the run."
So now he starts ariing the dirty
linen. She caught him right at
what? That's what I'd -like to
know. And don't believe it when
he says he's on the run no one's
running these davs wears nut
shoe leather.
Pistol? Where?
"Lav that Distol down, ha he lav
that pistol down, Pistol Packing
Mama, lay that pistol down."
Where did she eet that nistol? 1
thought the army commandeered
an or inern.- xou can t even get BB
gains anv more, i'rank v. I th n t
we could use this Mama as a
commando she seems to know all
the tricks.
"She kicked in mv wind shipld
she hit me o'er the head." You
see! She'd make a perfect com
mando. The euv doesn't mention
it, but she probably used Judo on
mm, too.
"She cussed and cried said T
lied, and wished that I was dead."
Isn't that lust like a woman ? She's
not content with kicking in the
poor guys windshield no she's
got to cuss mm out, and l II bet
10 to 1 she did it in public.
NOW. don't vou see how ridic
ulous it all is? Why don't we go
DacK to tne good old days when
"Eadie was a Ladv." and then
we'd all have a roaring good time
with. "The Bird in the Gilded
Cage."
Turkey Dinner
Features AST
Thanksgiving
Tomorrow promises to be a good
day for the ASTP soldiers on
campus. First of all, no reveille,
then no classes all day, and no
study hall at night. As if this isn't
enough to be thankful for, there's
Thanksgiving dinner and what a
feed is in store for the trainees.
Dinner starts off with fruit cup,
followed by the traditional turkey
and dressing, mashed potatoes,
giblet gravy, cranberry sauce,
buttered new peas, lettuce and to
mato salad, celery, hot rolls and
butter, pumpkin pie, coffee and
milk. And there 11 be plenty of
time to eat the feast, too. The
schedule is planned so that the
men will eat in three shifts, at
11:30, 12:30, and 1:30 with
plenty to eat guaranteed for all
GI's.
A buffet supper will be served
starting at 5:30 at night, with the
men serving themselves. They'll
also have to wash their own dishes
the staff expects that the num
ber of dishes used will be at a
minimum.
Something else quite different
from the usual army routine, will
be the invitation of two Nebraska
coeds, Betty Huston and Monica
Ann Alberty, as guests for dinner.
The girls are going to write their
impression of Thanksgiving din
ner in an army mess hall for the
Daily Nebraskan.
