| Gwinn Henry said to me next morning after the ball game, "Say, Doc, what
in the world were those Nebraske pleyers doing? The thing that surprised me was the
look of amazement on the faces of our boys when the Nebraskans were talking to them."
Then I explained to him what the Nebraskens were doing and sayings Our own public
was dumbfounded and flabbergasted. They had never seen any perpetration on the
floor during the existence of the Big-Six.e

Gwinn Henry had given up his seat to the Legislators who had come down for
the geme and Gwinn and Vic Hurt stood clear back at the end of the building which
is under the balcony, and nearly 100 feet from the side-lines. Even from that
distance Gwinn could not hear but he could see thet there wes something unusual taking
place. The spectators who were around the side-lines and who could hear the remarks
of the Nebraskans began to chip ine They first started on the Rose Bowl talk and then
someone discovered, or at least they thought they discovered, that Thompson, the
Nebraska forward, was the son of Dean Thompson, who let Mr. Littner run down at New
Orleanse Thompson was the most exasperating of alle He is a rather insignificant
boy who wears a fiendish pempadoure ‘The side-line boys began to yell, "So this is
Dean Thompson's boye A fine example you are setting for your papae” That got him,
evidently, as he turned around to the side=lines and shook his head as if he did
not belong to the Deane

Then Livingston and Fitsgibbons started after Engleman and Bob more than
evere Thompson was substituting for Livingston and Fitsgibbons. These three boys
were the chief source of trouble because they were the boys who were playing
Engleman and Bob. They were being switehed on and off as the occasion demanded.

The officials were new men who had worked very little in the Big-Six;
Hinkhouse and Grossman. It wes the first game they ever worked for us and I
imagine they thought this was the regular Big-Six procedure. When the Kansas
boys would come to the free-throw line to shoot a free throw, one of these Nebraskans
would fit himself in the line of flight of the ball, just outside the circle, and
as a Kansan freeethrower would start to throw this Nebraska boy would drop his
body down simulating the actions of the Kansas free-thrower in an effort to distract the
Kansane This is clearly a violation of the rule in the book and in the Big-Six,
but it was not called because perhaps of the youth of the officials.

7 Between halves I discussed this with our players and told Bob Allen, the
captain, to go to the officials and quote verbatim the rule about interferring with
the free thrower and the muckerish talk and ask that the officials watch it.

I endeavor never to say a word to the officials before, during halves, of
after the game if I can help ite

Just before the second half started I walked over to the bench to report a

- ghange in our line-up to the scorere Coach Lewendowski was walking in the same
direction and we met at the benche Dees and Amen were sitting on the Nebraska

bench about five feet from the scorer's table. Iwalked directly to Lewendowski and
said,"Lou, never in all Nebraska's history have I seen such a muck-racking, corny

cheap verbal exhibition as your boys are throwing out to some of our players. This
never happened when "Brownie" was coaching nor did I remember of it when any of the other

Nebrasia men were
