THOSE who expected Butler to
Il have an easy time with the Ne
braska Cornhuskers at the field
house Monday night, were dis
appointed. Twelve points separated
the intersectional foes, but they
were all scored on free throws. AL
though each quintet scored twelve
field goals, the Bulldogs superiority
was in doubt only once. The fact
that the Huskers were forced to foul
Messrs. Allen, Christopher and
Hildebrand, the Butler offensive
aces, in an attempt to stop them, is
proof enough of the advantage held
by the locals.
The Huskers gave the cleverest exhibit
tion of handling the ball seen on the But
Ter floor this season. Against a weaker
defense they may pull some surprises as
they did on the Bulldogs when they let
down temporarily.
Grace. whose five field goals indicate
that he knows something about basketball,
won the disfavor of the crowd by his cocky
attitude, continual complaining to the
officials, rough. tactics and clowniSh
antics.

to ESQ Monday, when Butler and
Purdue won.

DELPHI, one Of the best small

which provided many coaches of

play Kokomo tonight. The Wild
cats have been on the down trail
for the past few games, and barely
were able to nose out the none-too-
strong Upton quintet last Saturday,
while Lostutter has his Oracles in
full stride. Perigo, one of the best
centers in the state, and Captain
Moore, high scoring floor guard, are
outstanding performers for Delphi.
Well string along with Kokomo,
however.
Frankfort should increase IFS lead In

Nebraska
Loses to
Bulldogs
HinkIe Quintet Reveals
Superiority Over HuSker
Squad.
BY VERN BOXELL

Their record enhanced by another
impreSsiyee victory over an interSec-
tional foe, Butler Bulldogs today
started the important business OF
preparing for the invasion of two
Western Conference foes.
Illinois, one of the dark horses of
the present campaign, will be seen
at the fieldhouse Thursday night,
and Chicago, one of the two teams
to upset Tony Hinkle's national
champions, last season, comes here
Saturday.
Although free throws provided the
victory margin of the Hinklemen
over Nebraska In their 38-to-26 tri-
umph Monday night, the superiority
of the locals was in doubt only once.
At the outset of the game the
HuskerS assumed a two-point lead,
but the Bulldogs were in front, 10
to 2, with six minutes played, and
increased their advantage to 81 to 8
at half time.
Nebraska rallied at the start of
the second period, and pulled with
in five points of the Hinklemen. The
offensive combination of Allen,
Christopher and Hildebrand flashed
some fine passing to make the
Butler margin secure, and they
coasted through the last five
minutes, with reserves finishing the
contest.
Lewandowski and WHITE, husky
guards, were the outstanding per-
formers on the western quintet.
Grace led the Husker scorers, while
Fisher displayed some excellent
floor work.
The floor work of Hosier, and the
fiaShy and accurately-tim passing
of Allen, Christopher and Hide
brand, carried Butler to victory.
Hildebrand led the local scorers.
Both quintets scored twelve field
goals, the Bulldogs connecting on
fourteen losses from the gratis line,
and the Huskers twice.

ignored wantonly. Tommy Lough-
ran, the prize fighter, made a GER
tain sort of history which was not

LOughran was not exactly q sensation,
but 10 his credit must be said that he
constituted something quite unusual and
+ distinctive TO boxing lore when. upon
{ being smacked on the chin with uncOm-
mon violence. he turned to the referee
and mumbled:

XXTHILE this was not the first
w time a prize fighter ever Vio-
lated the chaste Addisonian prin-
Ciples of English it was radical
departure from the routine usually
employed in such circumstances. So
far as is known Loughran remains
the first prize fighter to call time
out in the midst of a blazing ex-
change of fists on the ground that
his noodle had become added and
1t was imperative that he be per-
mitted to retire to his boudior to
decide on a campaign of further
action.
MY memory Of the incident Is that
Loughran was scored roundly. not so
much because of his precipianta sur e
render as his pretentions to mental
depths. II appears that the ring custO-
mers have not been educated yet to a

Pitt Team
Small but Mighty Panther
Eleven Ready for
Classic Clash.
BY GEORGE III. BEALE,
United Press staff Correspondent


PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 31.-The
Pitt Panther may be small, but he
is mighty.
That observation came from al
sides today, on the eve of the
Tournament of Roses football clas-
sic Wednesday between the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh and the Uni
verSity OF Southern California
Two coaches, one of whom taught
the other to play football years ago
summed it up thus:
That's a small team you have
Jock"
Eyes, Pop, it's a small team, but
it's a good one"
The first speaker was Pop Warn
er, now coach at Stanford. The
second was Jock Sutherland, the
Panther mentor. Warner once
coached at Pitt and taught Suther-
land enough grid sagacity to make
him an all-American.
Pitts athletes do not appear to
be midgets, but they were not cast
along the generous mold of their
west coast opponents.
Ordinarily the size of the Pitt
squad alone would have caused ma
tives to make them short enderS
against Southern California, but the
Panthers' record and the deter
mined Sutherland's "it's good
one, kept the betting even up.
The difference is shown in the
weight statistics and in most any
starting combination Southern Cali
fornia will outweigh Pitt on an av-
erage of from ten to twelve pounds
per man.
