CORNHUSK[RS TAKE
THE SECOND GAME
Nebraska Repeats the Friday
Nights Performance at
the Armory

Not content with breaking Minnesota, s.
clean record on the home floor, the bas-
ketball team from Nebraska university
added insult TO injury by making it two
straight from the Gophers in the uni
verSity armory yesterday afternoon. It
was bad enough for the Minnesota men
to be beaten in playing off tie Friday
night, but when the Cornhuskers started
in by scoring four points before Minne-
sofa started and wound up the first half
six points in the lead and finished the
game three points to the good, the expe-
rience was such a new one to the Minne-
sofa rooters that they literally didn't
know where Ito get off att From one
end of the gallery to the other it was Inn
possible to find face with even a sug-
gestion of a smile, while from the corner
occupied by the Nebraska substitutes
could be heard occasional yelps Of joy as
the Cornhuskers made point after point
With the exception of about two minutes
at the end of the first half and three min
utes at the end of the second half the
Gophers were not in it, but during those
brief periods they fought hard to over
come Nebraska,s lead, but it was too late
and the occasional g1impses of the old time
form of the North Star men were not
sufficient to defeat the steady though not
spectacular work of their opponents. The
only explanation was that the Minnesota
men expected a soft snap, and as usual
when they expect soft snap in game
with Nebraska they woke up with a hard,
dull thud
Hagensick, alone and almost unafded,
was the cause of the Nebraska victory.
He was the only man on the Nebraska
team who could come within a mile of
the goal. throwing five of their six bas-
kets from the field and scoring sixteen
times free foul II ircp
a total of twenty-six points, which would
have been enough to defeat the maroon
and gold without the solitary field basket
contTlbuted by Burros. About all that
can be said for his teammates Is that they
also played in the game.
McRae for the first time In history did
not contribute a single basket from the
held toward winning the game, for Min
neSota and only threw four baskets from
fouls out of thirteen trials, but Varco and
Tuck, who tried to help him out, could
do no better. Kiefer, at guard, shot three
field baskets for the home varsity but 1t
was at the cost of many points fer the
scarlet and white, as he had to leave his
man unguarded to secure them. Varco
also secured three field baskets. while
Capt. Tuck, at center, contributed one.
Nebraska contributed five points to her
opponents score by fouls on which points
We're called.
This was the last game scheduled on
Nebraska's trip, as well as the last one
SO far scheduled for Minnesota on the
home floor. but the Cornhuskers are proud
OF their team and are arranging trips
through Illinois and wisconsin, and one
through the Central South. The lineup:
