Nebraska basket ball fans will
have an opportunity this week-end,
providing they are in Omaha Thurs
day evening and Lincoln Friday and
Saturday nights, to cast their optics
upSn an eastern member of the "Big
,Tcn,M when the Notte Dame quintet,
considered one of the strongest
teams in Indiana this season, invades
Cornhusker land for games with
Creighton and the University of Ne-
The ' Hoosiers will tackle the
Creighton hoopsters here Thursday
evening in what is expected to be a
real court contest, both from a close
guarding and passing point of view.
The Notre Dame quintet is noted
. for its teamwork and guarding, while
the locals are strong in -every de
partment of the game.
Following the one-night stand
with the Creighton aggregation,
Coach Halas and his bunch of bas
keteers will journey to Lincoln to
engage the Cornhuskers in a two-
game series. ' ...
Huskers Won Three Games.
Coach Paul Schissler's Nebraska
team returned home yesterday from
its four-day trip into Iowa, where.
the Nebraskans won three games
and lost one. The Huskers lostthe
first contest to the Iowa State quin
tet by the score of 30 to 38 and then
on the following night , turned the
tables and trounced the Cyclones,
32 to 22. At Grinnell. Nebraska n
the first game, 29 to 16, and the sec-
- on 29 to 22.
Nebraska left their native haunts
tied with Missouri in the Missouri
Valley conference. The victory of
Iowa State over the Huskers broke
the tie, but the Nebraskans returned
safely entrenched in the second berth
for at least a week. Kansas Aggies
and Kansas university went into a
tie for third place m the standings
when the Farmers lost two games to
the Missouri team and the university
quintet defeated Washington in
turn-came series.
Iowa State broke even with Ne
braska and as a result landed in
fifth olace. while the Oklahoma
team is in sixth position. The Soon-
ers boosted their average by trim
minir Washineton in two contests
by the scores of 44 to 23 and 44
to 27. Washington follows Oklaho
ma, with Drake and Grinnell bring
ing up the rear.
Kansas Aggies and Kansas are
unscheduled to meet this week at Man
hattan. The Kansas team will enter
the series favorites over the Aggies,
and. according to reports of last
week's games in which the two qin
tets played, the university squad
should win this week's contest.
Missouri Leads Conference.
Missouri leads the standings with
twelve victories. This week-end the
Tigers tackle the Drake team of
Des Moines at Columbia, Mo. As
the Bulldogs have only won one
game, the Missouri team should eas
ily defeat the Iowans. i

Council Bluffs and South High play
at South High Friday night and
Commerce tackles the Beatrice quin
tet on the latter's floor the same

Still Uncertain Who
Will Represent Local
"Y" at Mat Tourney
WiM tne state Y. M. u A. wres
tling championship tournament sched
uled next Saturday night at Lincoln,
it is still uncertain who will repre
sent the local Y in this meet.
Several of the mat artists who
have been winning the laurels for
the local institution will be unable
to take part. Instructor Tommy
Ray and Weston are hustling around
to get a team in condition to enter.
Barney and Dave Nordstrom, who
have not taken part in any of the

called upon to represent the "Y" in
the 158-pound and heavyweight
class.
If unable to get sufficient number
of wrestlers for the meet, Omaha
may be represented in at least three
or the seven events.

Indians Lose
Last Contest of
Series, 31 to 15
-II -
Locals Outplay Haskell Quin
tet Throughout Contest
: Kearney Stars in
i Victory.
Creighton university's basket ball
team ran away with the Haskell In
dians in the second and final game of
the series Saturday night at : the
Creighton gymnasium. The score of
31 to 15 indicated the lead held
throughout by the Blue and White
shooters.
. The score at the 'end of the first
half was-20 to 8. The Indians were
careless and inaccurate with their
shots. The local players presented
a tar superior deiense and better
drilled attack. " Even when four
substituted were inserted into the
Creighton lineup, the Omahans out
played the Chief Eagle's tribe of
hoopsters.
Dugon, Haskell started the battle
by sinking a difficult goal from the
side lines. Condon dribbled down
the center of the court and lied the
count. Kearney put his team in the
lead and from then on the locals
topped the Indians in scoring ability.
Captain Kearney of Creighton was
the individual star and ;p6int col
lector of the game. The local jumper
scored six field goals and two free
throws out of four chances at the
rings. Wise and Berry netted a
trio of baskets apiece. Condon
scored two.
For Haskell, Andersojj and Car
ney played the best game. The
former, who is the. smallest player
on a basket ball team in Kansas this
season, caged three field goals for
his squad. Two of these were of
the spectacular variety. During the
second half. this midget player broke
up a Creighton play under the local's
basket and after dribbling more than
half way down the court, shot a field
goal Carney registered two goals
frqn scrimmage, while Bates and
Dugon with one basket each helped
boost the Indians score.
