Fritscher is the original flying

|OFFICERS DECIDE
BASKET BALL IS
SAFE FOR A YEAR
University of Nebraska Prom
Uses Support and Free Ban
quet for Annual
Tournament.

Sweaters, or other articles of a
utilitarian character, will not be
given in the future to athletes in
schools belonging to the Nebraska
High School Athletic association
Letters or school monograms may
be awarded.
This was the decision reached at
a meeting of representatives of the
High School Athletic ASSOCIATION
Thursday morning in the Y. w. c.
A. gymna stun.
The big question before this sec
tlonal meeting relates to the annual
basket ball tournament. Final de-
termination Of future policy on that
point will not be reached until aft
ernoon.
On the subject of the tournament,
the basket ball coach of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, Mr.. Scissler. prom
Used cooperation from that institu-
ton in whatever course the high
school association undertakes. If the
tournament is held in Lincoln, he
guarantees competent officials to be
paid for by the university if neces-
sary, moral support from fraterni-
sary, and moral support from frater-
mites toward the boys who visit
them from over the state. He said
further that the university would pay
for the banquet in connection with
the tournament for which there
formerly has been charge.
A hearty response greeted his re-
mark that any high school whose
team cuts up mattress and rips the
pillows at the hotel where they are
stopping, because they lose game,
ought to be barred from the associa-
ton.
After a spirited discussion on the
basket bali tournament. the associa-
ton decided to hold the event this
school year, under the direction of
its board of control, which was di-
rected to appoint committee of five
members to investigate the situation
and report at the next annual meet
ing.

troll were elected as follows: w. 81

HUSKERS HAVE
LITTLE HOPE OF
SATURDAY WIN
Missouri and Nebraska Teams
Appear Evenly Matched,
But Locals Are Sadly
Discouraged.
By CARL LEE.

Lincoln, Nov. 6.-(Speclal. Sub
jected to one humilating defeat by
Missouri Valley foot ball eleven,
Nebraska Cornhuskers must this
week invade the stronghold of an
other, with practically little or no
hope of coming away victor.
The Huskers left for Columbia,
Mo, yesterday afternoon where
they meet the powerful Missouri
Tigers Saturday afternoon.
en- in the valley in this game. Mis-
souri, defeated Iowa State easily, 10
to 0, two weeks ago. In turn Ne
braska was defeated by Iowa State.
Yet last week when the Missouri
team was in it's prime it could barely
hold the Oklahoma Sooners to a
tie, freak punt by the Tigers win
ming the equal score for them.
The present Husker mentor,
Henry F. Schultz, left Missouri at
the last moment this fall to take up
duties as foot ball and track coach
at Nebraska.
The Huskers according to the
dope, have an even chance to win.
Their ignoble showing against Ames
was merely a relapse from the old
form due to too heavy games. 1t
was the terse opinion of Cody Clark,
famous Wisconsin all-western tackle
of few years back, who played one
year with the Huskers, that "the
schedule had beaten the team be-
fore the season opened"
Nebraska outweighs the Missouri
ians trifle. In the 'backfield the
big difference comes. If Dale plays
rather than Wright, the averages
will be considerably lessened. But
those close to the Nebraska coach
are of the belief that he will give
the giant fullback, Fred Dale, a
chance in the Tiger mill. On the
line too, the Huskers, will be slight
ly ahead of the Missouri forward
wall in weights.
. The Tigers confidently expect
victory. Assistant Coach Schissler
who secuted the Oklahoma Missouri
game last Saturday stated that the
Mlssourians were powerful ma
chine both on the offensive and de-
fensive. But for the stellar playing
of Fullback Swatek, who did not
play in Oklahoma's game against
Nebraska at Omaha, the Sooners
might have lost.
Missouri has played an irratic
game thus, far this year. Yet not
so irratic as Nebraska. In fact the
comparison of dope on the basis of
the playing this season is impossible.
At the first of the season Missouri
fell easily before the Kansas Aggies
by score of 3 to 0. Later the
Rags were licked to FRAGILE. Re-
covering, the Tigers whipped Iowa
State and Drake and tied Oklahoma.
Nebraska has not won game
this year. The Huskers tied Mime
sofa and Oklahoma aud lost to Iowa,
Notre Dame and Iowa State. The
odds, it is thought, will be with the
Tigers since the game is on the
home field.

Holman also played in the A. E.
F. games, and he was reckoned as
one of the best that went overseas
Ainsworth, guard. is another all-con-
ference man. Earl MacTavish, full
back and captain, is playing his sec
ond year in the conference, and all
scribes are willing to concede him
an all-conference berth this season.
MacTavish also will do the punting,
his kicks SO far this season averag-
ing from so to 90 yards.
The Tiger line is heavy, averaging
around Us pounds, while the back
field is exceptionally light and fast,
Captain MacTavish is the only
heavy man in the back6eld and he
tips the beam at III pounds.
Honnen at left tackle came
through the game with the Colorado
School of Mines last Saturday Gov
cred with glory, being responsible
for breaking up many of the miners
plays. He is big man, hard to
tackle when running with the ball
and on the defensive is almost d
stouewall.
Tigers Out for Title.
Colorado college is out for the
title of the Rocky Mountain confer
ence. The team was defeated III its
first game of the season when it
bucked up against the University OF
Utah. The team had been out fo:.
practice for but a few nights and
was not in the best Of form. The
next game with tie University of
Colorado resulted in ID to IA tie
score. Figures on the game showed
that the Black and Gold completely
outplayed the State team. Two cost
" fumbles at critical moments were
converted into, as many touchdowns,
and State was able to tie up the
score. The Colorado School OF
Mines team, touted as a Champion
ship contender, was beaten last
week by score of to 3.

Colorado Springs, Nov. 6.-(Spe-

Thursday noon for Omaha where
the Tigers will clash with the pow
erful Creighton eleven Saturday.
The squad numbered 20 men. Ali
the men are in good shape with the
exception OF Holman, all-conference
end, who broke bone in his foot.
Holman will have to remain out of
the CREIGHTON contest
The Tigers have one OF the best
teams that has been turned out at
Colorado college i'll many years, but
the scores Of the games played do
not indicate this fact. The reason
for the average showing made by
the Black and Gold is injuries. in
iur es. injuries, one after another,
which have been following the team
all season.
Quarter Back Broke Leg.
The first blow to fall on the
teams chances came when Bleisteln
quarterback on the Soth division
team in France, broke his leg. File
gal was the next victim to the Jinx.
He was an all-ccnference end two
years ago. and was playing the gafho
of his life this season, when he was
deliberately slugged by all opposing
rlayer, knocked unconscious. and
his Jaw shattered. Hofman's injury
seems to be the climax. and c. c.
Fans are beginning to think the hand
of fate is against the team. At some
stage of the season the team must
come into it's own. Parsons seems
to think that the time has come.
Many Stars on Eleven. D
There are four all-Rocky Noun
tain conference players listed on the
1919 Tiger foot ball team Frank
Briggs, right end, was chosen for
this honor last year. Briggs is one
of the greatest little tacklers the

vision team in France. He is one
