Sporting a balanced offen sive attack, the Tassel rang up a resounding 8-4 decision before a packed Coliseum crowd. Defensively, the Tassels were literally "all over the court" (partly due to the fact that they used seven girls at a time). They did their best job defensing the N-Club fast break. In a stunning bit of show manship the girls wowed the crowd with a trick made fa mous by the Harlem Globe trotters. Using the old "extra-ball trick" the Tassels completely confused their opponents and delighted the fans by slipping a second ball into play. The candidates will be in terviewed Sunday afternoon at the Student Union, with judging based on beauty, poise and knowledge of sports sEach candidate was asked to select which two sports she will be quizzed on. The interview schedule will be announced in Friday's DAILY NEBRASKAN. The first "N-Club Sweet heart" and her two attend ants will be presented at the dance. Murrell Leads Wondrous Willie Murrell, the Kansas State star who was held to 12 points by the Huskers Monday night at Manhattan, is leading the Big Eight Conference scoring race. His 21.4 points per game gives him almost a 2-point lead on Kansas' George Un seld who has scored six points but has played in one more game than Murrell. Leading the rebounders is im Davis, 6-8 sparkler for Colorado. His 97 grabs giv him a pace of 14 per game. Mike Frink, Colorado, has the leading field goal percent age with .508.

By PEGGY SPEECE Sports Staff Writer There was no Big Eight Conference in 1894, but foot ball rivalry between the Husk ers and the University of Kan sas was as heated as it is to day. An English theme written by a freshman football player in May, 1895 tells of the battle Nebraska had in winning the 1894 contest by an 18-6 score. The student, Clinton R. Spooner, who was an early athletic hero, starts h i s theme: "On a Friday afternoon in early November of last year, the University of Nebraska football team left Lincoln for Lawrence, Kansas, where we expected to have one of t h e most exciting games of the season. "Nothing of note happened on the trip down. The boys played cards for the most of the time. With but the sight of a pretty girl we saw nothing else that we noticed particu larly." Dr. Robert Manley, assist ant professor of history, first discovered the theme in the University archives. He ex plained that in the 1890's freshmen and even students from the college's prep school were used on the varsity football team... Spooner'f picture appears with the football squad in 1894 and 1895. These pictures are hanging in the Coliseum tro phy cases. He teems to have been a slender young man,: taller than most of his (earn- mates with his rather iong hair parted down the middle in the style, of the day. Lawrence of the 1890's was probably a small town with out many facilities for hous ing a football team. Spooner's only comment on lodging was "We went to the best hotel in town, which to say the least, was a very poor one." After a night's rest, the team got up early and ate "a bea rty breakfast of whole g ome food." ' 1 ' ' ; ' Coaches of those days had to take every precaution to keep their plays a secret. Spooner reports taking a walk in (he country after breakfast for the purpose of practicing signals "to avoid any inquisi tive opponent who might be prowling around." The football game was scheduled for 2 p.m. and like their counter-parts today, the team was very nervous by the time they arrived at the field. "W h e n we entered the g r o u n d s the Kansas team was already on the field. And how formidable they did look! Anyone who has had a similar experience can rea lize bow we felt. At first sight they looked like the veritable football giantf that we read to much a bout. Their regular uniforms of white canvas with sweaters and stockings of the college colors helped greatly to pro duce this effect." In 1894, football was not the money-making sport of mod ern times as Spooner's next comment indicates : "To us they looked all the more massive, for our team, having very meager support, and very little money in the treasury, had to wear about anything we could find that was left over from last year." At that time, officials for a game were not selected until just before the game was to be played. The problems this situation caused are apparent. "Hell, when we appeared on the field the crowd of course g a v e the customary cheer. After wrangling for about an hour in attempting to decide on the referre and umpire, we at last called to play and winning the toss we chose the east goal. "Kansas kicked off and we stopped the ball within about twenty yards of their goal line. On the first play I fum bled the ball and we lost several yards. On the next play, Flippen, our famous halfback, misunderstood the signal and the ball was dropped again.-1 One pi their ends caught it and carried it DvcaSiry The team stayed in Law. rence and on Monday went to Ottawa. Kansas and defeated "the famous Ottowa team by a score of six to nothing." The trip back to L i n c o 1 n was a lively one and like today, a rally was staged to welcome home the civtorious team. "The news of our victories seemed to be well received by the student body and facul ty of the University for about six hundred students with the Chancellor in their lead ball an Inch. We then got the put us on a tally-ho (a type ball and kicked thus avoiding of delivery wagon) and drew a very critical situation. j us around town yelling and "And so the game went. making all the noise possible. Kansas, although she fought 'After the street procession, stubbornly, could not gain-the Chancellor, the faculty, much ground against our big and a large crowd of students Nebraska boys." 'received us in the armory." over the line for a touch down." Although t h e Nebraskans were off to a slow start, they evidently buckled down with a determination to win as the final score was 18-6 in favor of Nebraska. Spooner reports: "T here was one very exciting event in the game. They bad the ball within six inches of their goal line, but our boys were simply a stone wall and for three downs the Kansas team could not advance the Nebraska's cagers lost a Big Eight basketball game in the closing seconds for the sec ond time in a row last Mon day. After a narrow loss to Colo rado on Saturday, the Hus kers traveled to Manhattan to face league-leading Kansas State. Once again a last minute rally fell short as the Corn huskers lost, 50-48. This time two shots were missed in the last 35 seconds which en abled, the Wildcats to retain their lead. The Huskers saw a six point lead early in the sec ond half disappear into a seven-point deficit before a late rally fell only two points short. After enjoying a 26-24 half time lead, Nebraska moved to a 33-28 lead with 17:30 left on two buckets by Bob An tulov, a field goal by Daryl Petsch, and a free throw by Coley Webb. A four and a half minute droughth saw the Huskers fall to a 40-33 deficit as the Wild cats ran-off 12 straight points. Kansas State's Willie Mur rell, the Big Eight's leading scorer, with a 21.4 average, led the uprising with three straight field goals within one minute. Murrell was held socreless by the Huskers in the first half. Nebraska then battled back to within one point, at 49-48, when Charlie Jones hit a field goal with 1:30 left on the clock. K-State's Sammy Robinson then threw the ball out of bounds. Nebraska called time out, and began moving the ball around, waiting for a good shot. Grant Simmons missed a field goal attempt with 35 seconds remaining, and Jones missed on a follow up shot. When Kansas State's Gary Williams missed a free throw attempt with 22 seconds left, Nebraska had another oppor tunity to win, but Petsch missed an attempt from the top of the circle with three seconds remaining. Robinson was fonled at the buzzer and sank a free throw to give the Wildcats their fin al two-point margin. Nebras ka has now lost 11 straight games to Kansas State and has not won a Manhattan since 1943. The Huskers held Murrell to 12 points, all of them in the second half. Roger Sut tner was high for Kansas State with 13. Petsch led the Huskers with nine, while Jones and Antulov had eight each. j'' J7 II IM Standings Fraternity 1-A Slemi Phi Epsilon Siirnia Chi 4-1 Phi Delta TheU 3-2 Kappa .Sigma 3-2 Alpha Tau Omeia 1-3 Beta Hieta Pi ...1-4 Fraternity t-A Sirma Alpha Opiilon 4-0 Surma Nil 5-0 Delta Upsilon Kappa Alpha Pal 3-2 Theta Xi Phi Gamma Delta 1-4 Delta Tau Delta 0-5 Fraternity 3-A Ag Men - FarmHoUM 5-1 Alpha Gamma Rho 4-2 Alpha Gamma Sigma 3-3 Beta Sigma Psi .2-3 Triangle 2-4 Acacia 1-5 Sigma Alpha Mu ;.0-6 Fraternlt; 4-A Delta Sigma Pi 6-0 Brown Palace 4-3 Cornhiuker Co-op , ..... 4-2 Delta Sigma Phi Pioneer Co-op 4-2 Pi Kappa Phi 2-4 Chi Phi 4-2 Theta Chi 1-5 Burr-Selleek 5-A Seaton I S-0 Benton 4-1 Goodding 4-2 Smith 2-3 Begsey i 3-3 Selleck - Klsselbach 1-6 Selleck -A Andrew Fairfield 3-2 MacLean 41 Seaton II 3-."
