THE LINCOLN FEBRUARY 10S6. SEVEN Nebraska Stars Turn Down Football Bids Huskers Say Nay Footballers Neither Weir Nor Rhodes Interested in Pulling a Grange Stunt; Both May Be Added to Husker Coaching Staff. BY SHERMAN. Magnates of professional football, endeavoring to enlist three former Cornhusker Kd Wetr. Rhodes and Harold a fling at fame and coin in "pro" circles, are wasting their time.

The Information leaked today from Cornhusker circles that Guy Chamberlain, ex- Nebraska whlzzer prominent In professional football the past several years, had been quietly negotiating with the trio of Corn- huskers. It was announced that Chamberlain had presented no formal offer, yet had made It known that he be In position to discuss actual terms with Welr, Rhodes and Hutchison after the close of the school year ftt Nebraska. Both Woir and Rhodoa quickly baokod away from tho professional Idea. Hutchison, it was stated, was in something of a recsptivs mood, but his parents are reputed to have proclaimed strong opposition, so also dropped himself out of the professional picture. TURNED DOWN.

have had several offers from professional Weir said today, "but have turned them down and will continue to turn them down. I have no desire to take part in professional football. Rhodes has told me that Is his attitude." Although athletic authorities at Nebraska were not prepared to- dsy to make a definite statement, it is not a secret in Cornhusker circles that a movement is on foot to retain both Weir and Rhodes for Cornhusker football by adding the Superior and An- slsy athletes to the 1926 coaching decision which would have hearty approbation in the Nebraska camp. Huddle Plan Now Used In Basket Sport SYSTEM OF OIVINB SIGNS, 50 SUCCESSFUt IN FOOTBAU IS-NOW BEING USED IN BASKCTBAU TECHTHREIITTO LINCOLN YOUTHS Drummond Quint Displays Championship Goods In Basket Pastime. BY QREGQ McBRIDE.

Two Omaha basketball teams served notice on Nebraska Interscho- lastlc cage fans last week that they plan to have considerable to say ro- garding the award of the high school basketball championship. Omaha Tech, holder of a neat array of state cage trophies and 1925 champion, handed Lincoln Its first defeat of the season Friday night when the Drummond five trailed the Red and Black until the fourth quarter, knotted the count In the final chukker and w'ent ahead to win a 20-18 victory in the extra period. Central Hard to Best. Omaha Central In a Saturday contest also furnished a warm argument for Coach Browne's Lincoln five. The Purple tossers forced the game into an extra period before they finally succumbed to a 19-17 81 0 Wing made by the Tech five indicates that the Drummond machine has been greatly benefited by addition of Skelly.

former Outlook For State Loop Is Brighter Coach Maury Kent, mentor of the Northwestern university hoopsters, adopted the "huddle" system of giving signs for his quintet. Coach Kent figured that a system that wrorked successfully In football would also work well In basketball. It gives the players a chance to exchange verbal liigns with each other and most Important of all, gives them a slight rest and relaxation from the high tension strenuous of the game which calls for better conditioned athletes than almost any other pastime, except boxing. The game Is a terrific strain on a plaver's heart and lungs and the "huddle" Is a means to relieve this pressure slightly by short Intermissions of conferences.

However, the lack of a Sunday park need not and in the way. The backers of the Grand Island team have tendered free use eft their park whenever the Hastings club Is scheduled to play Sundays at home.

BY GREGG McBRIDE. Peru Normal apparently Is In the running with another state championship basketball team. Coach GraCs Bobcats drove the first spike In their claim to 1926 titular honors Saturday night when the trou-nced Cotner on the Peru court. 27 to 13. The victory broke a deadlock In the conference race and left the Bobcats alone In front of the pack.

Apparently the only obstacle In the wav of a Peru title Is a "blowup" in the Normal machine. However the Grafmen have shown no Inclination to break down, as the Peru five Is working at present on a string of 49 consecutive victories In Nebraska conference basketball competition. The remainder of the schedule cats. The Peru team does not meet Hastings, Wayne nor Omaha, the main hurdles the Bobcats havs yet to clear involving a road trip to Cuner and Wesleyan. Defeat In one or both contests, however, probably would not seriously menace position, as Cotner college another leading contender, must play at Kearney, Wesleyan and Wayne, while Omaha university, the third member of the leading trio, l.s Ing a pair of engagements with the Wayne Wildcats.

Kearney Slumps on Rosd. Kearney Normal dropped to a tie for fifth position last as a result of a disastrous road trip. Cotu'h Fred Fulmer was minus the services of his center, Virgil athlete, and the Antelopes met reverses at York, Cotner and Peru. Huber, a clever forward was the main cog In the Kearney works, the Antelope cap- talndls played bis best goods against Peru. The Fulmer five held Peru to a 23-16 score.

In addition to disposing of Cotner and Kearney, t.iia, eru I'eua- gogues rolled up a 47-21 victory over Nebraska Wesleyan. Cotner started the week with victories over Doane and Kearney. Doans Does Some Spurting. Coach Ward Haylett's Doang collegians cllnihed to a tie for fifth position by winning three of four games on a weekend trip. Haylett gave the Tiger lineup a shaking up after defeats by Peru and Wesleyan, and as a result turned In victories over Chadron and Midland, while Cotner was held to a narrow margin victory.

Captain Kubllcek was tho scoring power for during the trip. A double defeat received at the hands of Doane dropped Chadron Normal to a tie with York college for tenth position.
