Huskers Shaping Up for Kansas All Ready for Invading Team —Some of Injured * Men Back. » - Lincoln, Nob., Oct. 17.—When Kan sas and Nebraska line up for their 30th battle on a football field Saturday, It will find Nebraska hold ing the weight advantage, while the Jayhawkers have an edge on experi enced men. In the tentative lineups of the two teams there are but two sophomores on the Kansas team—Collier and G. Smith—while Nebraska has five, Rhodes, Weir, Hutchison, Myers and Locke. Captain Vern Lewellen will prob ably have to watch his second game from the sidelines, as his Infected knee is healing very slowly. Roland Locke, sophomore, who was In there to fill Captain Lewellen’s place against Oklahoma, performed in ex cellent fashion. Nebraska's line looked mnch better Saturday against Oklahoma than the week previous against Illinois. The secondary defense was not called upon to make a single tackle during the first half of the Sooner game. The game is attracting one of the biggest crowds in the history of Cornhusker football. The new stadium will be dedicated preceding the game and this dedication Is attracting many. There will be 16,000 seats ready Saturday and John Sellack, business manager of athletics, believes these will all be occupied. The opening game attendance records were shat tered last week w?ten the home sea son was opened with Oklahoma. Word from Kansas indicates that rain has cut into the practice periods but that fll members of the squad are in godd condition physically and barring scrimmage injuries, will be on hand here Saturday.

Maroons Out for Blood Next Game Chicago, 111., Oct. 18—Coach Stagg anticipates a bard struggle with Northwestern Saturday at Stagg field in the opening tilt ef the Maroon’s conference Schedule. The Midway contingent is now badly crippled from injuries and the veteran mentor has been trying hard to whip his green material into shape to fill the places left vacant by casualties. Chicago will try to stop Captain Me Elwain, left half, and DeSteffano full back, two of Coach Glenn Thlstle waite's stars. McElwain Is regarded as especially dangerous as an open field runner. The line has been drill ed to let the runner through so that the backs may tackle him. The team ^ has been practicing a trick formation to be used particularly against the “Statue of Liberty’’ play, with which the Michigan Aggies gained ground effectively in the first Maroon prac tice game. No new offensive plays have been given. Stagg has spent most of his time before in perfecting the plays that he already has given the team. King, center, will not be in the Northwestern game on account of a sprained ankle. Quarterback Law hurt 'his foot so badly that ho was not out for practice. Cunningham, likely can didate for both quarter and end, has dislocated his shoulder, and probably will not be able to play before the Il linois game, November 3. Dickson, end, who hurt his leg in the game with Colorado Aggies weeks ago, has taken a light workout daily, and may be able to play Saturday. However, Barnes, who has been distinguishing himself in snagging passes, probably will start in Dickson’s position. Hib bin, tackle, Injured his leg in prac tice. John Thomas probably will not play on account of his leg. Stagg has been trying his men out in various positions. A thorough search is still going on for a compe tent field general to fill the vacancy left by Law and Cunningham, tem porarily'out of the game. Abbott, former star Oak Park tackle, offers most promise as quarterback. There are three possibilities as punters in Harry Thomas, McCarty, and Schla baek. Harry Thomas surprised ev eryone by averaging 80 yards in his * kicking. Because the Maroon substi tutes nre considered weak there has been little material to draw from. In a regular game last Saturday after noon, the freshmen held them down to a 16-0 score. Roughness Explained. Grand Island, Neb.. Oct. 18.—Kear ney papers publish an account of a rough scrimmage during a recent game here between the Grand Island college and the Kearney Normal, In which one Kearney teacher was al legedly attacked by local fans. It Is explained by devotees of the game here that Kearney brought a demon stration In the way of an ''antelope,” paraded by the Kearneyites, and, as not uncommon during such events, local fans good naturedly "got the antelope." Thereupon Kearneyites began knocking off the hats of the local rooters and one young man pounced upon a Kearneylto before knowing he was an elderly man, but, realising his mistake, at once de sisted, and no one was In the least injured or severely roughed up. Illini Have Final Practice. Urbana, III., Oct. 18.—Illinois h#ld Its last scrimmage tonight before the opening game of Its conference sched ule at Iowa Haturday. The teams plowed through the freshmen gild Iron, which rain had turned to a mud flat, skidding helplessly on both defense and offense. Twenty-nine men will make the Iowa trip. Coach Hob Zuppke is tak ing along every available end aa the flank positions are none too strong at present and substitutions there may be exported frequently. Coach Zuppke has agreed to speak at the pep meeting to-be staged by the homecoming crowd at Iowa City Friday night EDDIE’S FRIENDS How to Bust Up a Polter Game. r • ^a/i IbNlGHT WHEN ED PIE AND ALL V' YOUR FRIENDS ARE HERE WILL \ G>E.

McCook Team Is Undefeated as Yet McCook, Neb., Oct. 18—With a fast backfield and a hard-hitting line, McCook football team has romped half way through a difficult schedule with no defeats and only one score less game. Followers of the sport claim the Holdrege-McCook game, \Vhich resulted In a 0 to 0 score, was one of the fastest and hardest fought high schAl battles ever played on any gridiron. Although the team average is light, heavy opposing teams are unable to meet Us aggressive style of play. The superior line plunging of McCook car ries the ball through for good gains on every down. Only two or there men will be lost from this neat little aggregation by graduation this year and prospects for a winning team next season are bright.

Beckett re tired after his sensational defeat at the Olympia on October 2, when he was knocked out by Georges Carpen-j tier In the first round. Johnson-Renault May Battle j New York, Oct. 18.—Another con tender for Jack Dempsey’s heavy weight crown may arise from a series of elimination tests expected to take place during the winter season. Tha first important encounter hav ing a bearing on the heavyweight ring situation is likely to be between Floyd Johnson of Iowa and Jack Renault, the Canadian champion. Johnson has been Improving steadily since his knockout at the hands of Jess Willard last May, while Renault has added several Victims to his list. The winner of a Johnson-Renault /bout probably would be matched with the victor of the proposed contest between Georges Carpentler of France and Tom Giblmns of St. Paul. Car pentler has accepted terms offered him by Tex Rickard, but Gibbons has not yet come to a definite agreement with the promoter. Dempsey already has a return match with Luis Angel Flrpo on his 1924 program, and may also face Harry Wills, negro challenger, who has been on the champion’s trail for more than a year.

Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS Thoea Jn cleverness best schooled May at times be badly fooled. —Mrs. Bob White. Reddy la Fooled for a Few Moments. When Mrs. Bob White and the wounded Bob White reached the hol low fence post Mr*. Bob White hfid found the younsr wounded Bob White felt that he couldn’t take another step. Mrs. Bob White let him rest for a while. Then as the Black Sha “Go in that hollow fence post just as far aa you can," said she dow* grew deeper and deeper she spoke. "Go In that hollow fence post Just as far as you can,” said she- "Go clear to the end. No ha^/n can reach you there." The young Boh White poked hla head inside and then drew back. Never in his short life had he been anywhere with a roof over him or walls around him. Always he had lived right out in the open. He had been taught to sleep at night ready to spring into the air and fly at the first sign of approaching danger. He didn’t like the Idea of being in a place whero he could do no more than turn around. Po he hung back. His mother understood. She knew just how he felt. "Go In.” said she. ’’It will not be safe for you to stay outside tonight.” "Cannot I stay justk outside and then if any danger does come go in side?" ask* d the young Bob White. Mrs. Bob White shook her head very decidedly. “No,” said she. "The danger might not be discovered until too late- Do as I say and go in and get just os far as you can." So the young Bob White crept Into the hollow fence post clear to the end of the hollow. The wood In there had rotted and crumbled Into a soft mass. This made a really comfort able bed. "Aren't you coming in too. mother?” he asked plaintively. “No.” replied Mrs. Bob White. “At least I am not coming In at present 1 am going to stay right here at the entrance and keep watch.” SO Mrs. Bob White squatted close to the ground on one side and close to the old fence poet. She didn't go to sleep. No. Indeed. She was too anxious to sleep. So It came about that she heard Reddy Fox approach ing. although you or I wouldn’t have heard a sound. She knew that he was following tfye scent she and the wounded young Bob White had left She didn't wait for him to reach that hollow fence post. She fluttered up into the air as if wounded and almost at once was down on the ground again. "X thought as much!” exclaimed Reddy Fox and bounded toward the spot where Mrs. Bob White had dropped in the grass. "I thought as much! That wounded Bob Whltd can't do much more than flutter.” He didn't try to be cautious now. He bounded forward, sure that he would be able to run down that wounded Bob White. From almost under his nose Mrs. Bob White again fluttered up and along Just above the ground. She appeared as If she couldn't use one wing at all well. Reddy bounded after her. Several tim^s he Just missed catching her and then suddenly he understood. He looked a little sheepish as he stopped short. "That Is Mrs. Bob White,” said he to hlms-elf, "and she isn't wounded at alt. She is trying to lead me away." Then he turned and ran swiftly hack to pick up the trail with his wonderful nose.
