NEBRASKA WON BY SUPERIOR PLAYING
CORNHUSKERS TOOK MEASURE OF HAMILTON'S MEN
In Fastest Game of the Season Kansas Five Was Outplayed Florence Beats Lawrence.
The Cornhuskers were victorious over the Jayhawkers in the first game of basket ball series in Robinson gymnasium last night by a score of 36 to 27. This is the first time that Nebraska has defeated Kansas at basket-ball since a series of three games which were played in Kansas City three years ago. The score last night was the result of a contest in which the Cornhuskers easily proved themselves the superior team both in team work and in shooting goals. They had been primed for this game and won by clean, fast playing; so fast, indeed, that the men were exhausted after the contest had drawn to a close.
After the ball had been thrown up at center for the first time, it was but a short time until Kansas scored the first points of the game when Stuckey threw a goal from the field. However Nebraska quickly obtained three goals and thus took a lead that was never stopped during the entire game except for a few minutes in the latter part of the second half, when Kansas forged one point ahead, but was speedily overtaken by Nebraska.
The pace set by the Cornhuskers was the fastest that has been witnessed on the court in Robinson gymnasium this year and toward the end of the game it told on both teams, but they fought the contest to the finish. The work of the Nebraska guards was exceptionally good in covering the Kansas forwards when they were within shooting distance of the basket. One of the features of the game was the long shot that Stuckey made from the center of the court. Dousman and Larson, while they were not as successful in keeping their forwards covered, did good work in breaking up the Cornhusker team work, and in working the ball back to the Kansas goal. The superiority of the opponents was shown in their team work, the ease with which they destroyed the Kansas passing and the dexterity with which they took the ball out of the hands of a Kansas man.
Coach Hamilton says that it was a plain case of being outplayed, but he expects his men to come back strong tonight, and to take the last game.
During the first half, Owen,Nebraska's left forward, suffered a badly wrenched knee. He returned to the game in a short time, but was later forced to withdraw.
The stars of the game for the visitors were Frank and Hilmes who were also the point-gatherers for their team. "Shorty" Long accepted all except one of his trials at fre throws, while the Cornhuskers were unable to score when given a free trial.
The line-up of the team was:
Nebraska— G. F.T. F.
Owen, l. f...1 0 0
Hutchins, l. f...2 0 0

In the first half of the preliminary contest, John Garrison, who played right guard for the Florence team, suffered a severe sprain of the right ankle. He continued playing the game to the finish and helped him team-mates win the victory.

WOULD MAKE FRATS PAY TAXES AGAIN
BRADY FAVORS REPEAL OF EXEMPTION LAW.
The Unequal Burden Is Most Severely Felt by the People of Baldwin.
Senator J. L. Brady of Douglas county has introduced a bill into the upper house of the legislature to repeal the law which exempts the property of Greek letter fraternities from taxation. Representative J. M. Newlin of Douglas county introduced the same bill into the lower house about three weeks ago.
Senator Brady said today that great pressure was brought to bear upon the Douglas county legislators by the people of Baldwin, who want the fraternities and sororities of Baker University to pay taxes on their property. The little town which is the seat of the Methodist school has on foot some expensive improvements which can not be carried to completion unless all the property it town is made to pay its share of taxes.
"We have received petitions with hundreds of signers and numerous delegations have visited us at Topeka, asking that Baker fraternity property be again made taxable, so the town can go ahead with its improvements," said Senator Brady today.
Senator Brady thinks the law is wrong in principle as it distributes the burden of taxation unjustly.
The Chi Omega sorority and the Pi Upsilon fraternity are the only Greek letter organizations of the University which took advantage of the law exempting them from taxation this year. The repeal of the law would make very little difference to the fraternities here.
