Since tho showing made against tho

night students at the University of
Omaha are elated. Tho team which went
against the Coyotes was not considered

places, but tho new men, Jonklne at for

of Hooters.
In the fastost ana most exciting
game of basket ball thot has been played
n Omaha for many a day the University
of South Dakota landed a well earned
victory over the University of Omaha
basket ball team last night by thu score
of 22 to 11 at the University of Omaha
gymnasium. Omaha lost the game, but
covored Itself with glory and surprised
Its most enthusiastic supporters by tho
plucky gamo and stubborn defense. South
Dakota camo hero with a team touted as
ono of tho fastest in tho west and so
far this year has beaten nearly all of the
college teams In this part of the country.
On the team wero athletes who are known
In all parts of the west.
Onme Ntnrt Fast.
The game started out badly for thj
locals, Their opponents were bigger and
stronger and handled the ball with morc
ease. They started out with a rush that
threatened veritably to sweep Omaha off
Its feet Their passing was perfect, their
blocking good and their goal throwing
accurate. Omaha soon took a brace and
by dogged work kopt pushing the score
up until tho gamo was oven. The score
sco-sawed back and forth with Omaha
leading and then following. Towards tha
middle of the half Omaha started to guard
closely and prevented the opponents from
carrying tho ball past the center of the
field. Omaha began to exceed In passing
and at the close of the first half had th?
moro standing, Omaha. 11; South Dakota.

pandemonium reigned.
Starts Well In Second.
Omaha started out well In the Becond
half and early Increased Its lead, but soon
tho strength and stamina of the northern
giants began to manifest Itself and by
gradually wearing down tho gamo Omaha
qulntot, tho Coyotes forged Into tho lead
which they did not again surrender.
Display Fine Tenm Work.
During this period the Dakotans dis
played the best team work and an
adroitness In passing tho ball that has
never before been displayed tn Omaha.
No matter whore tho ball was, a pair of
Dakota arms seemod to Insert themselves
Into tho air and pull the sphere off of the
celling of the building. The Omaha men
being much shorter hurled themselves
Into tho air and prevented many scores
and broke up many plays
Tho gams while rough was free from
ny iniomionai ainy worK and was
entirely satisfactory to all of the
spectators.
Pnrlsh Finally Star.
George Parish of Omaha, who played
probably his last home game for tho
locals, was easily the star of tho game.
