NEBRASKA TEAM
BEATS G0PHERS
BASKETBALL SETBACK FOR THE
MINNESOTA TEAM.
First Defeat in Six Years Administered
on Armory Floor by Cornhuskers Last
Night-Twenty-nine Fouls Called on
the Gophers-Poor Passing and Bad
Team Work Responsible.

Nebraska defeated Minnesota at basketball last
night by a score of 1922. The finish of the
game was an exciting one, as it was the first
time IN SIX years that u Minnesota team had
tasted OF the bitterness of defeat.
Minnesota played a better game than Nebraska
from a scientific standpoint, but the fouls cost
the gopners the game. At goal shooting from
the neid Minnesota, bested Nebraska ins easy
form, put the fouls called by DR.. TGlapp, referee,
gave the visitors such an advantage that the
Minnesota representatives could not overcome it.
At the end of the second half of the play the
score stood p to q. The teams continued to
play in compliance with the rules until one side
had scored 2 points. The ball was put into play
ana the calling of a foul gave Nebraska a free
throw. Hagellslck put the ball squarely into
the basket. A few seconds later Nebraska fouled
and McRae shot a basket from the foul line.
In the play following Varco inadvertently
Iouieo a Nebraskan and Hagensick, on the free
throw, missed the basket, and in the scrimmage
following a Minnesota man again fouled a Ne
DIaskan. DR.. Clapp called a foul and a point
agalnst Minnesota. The point was not allowed
put the foul remained and Hagensick shot the
pail with unerr1ng aim into the basket.
The game was clean turnout, and Nebraska
team played fast, snappy ball. They were play
ing on the Minnesota floor and that makes their
Victory the more commendable. Minnesota ex-
celled at shooting baskets from the field, but
the twenty-nine fouls called on Minnesota gave
the gophers too great an obstacle to overcome.
Dr. clapp,s refereeing did not call forth any
serious criticism from the basketball experts
present, but the audience was inclined to think
