Cornhuskers Are Shown Slow Motion Pictures of Kansas Game Coach Dawson Show's His Men Just How I hey Looked to - Spectators While Playing Scoreless Game Last Saturday Afternoon. Lincoln. Ooct., =4. — With Mis souri next and Notre Dame just over the horizon, Nebraska's, coaches have been putting the Huskers through a severe period of training this week. It appears now that a sllght/change may he made In the backfleld over the one which started against Kan sas. Captain Lewellen will probably he back at quarter and Sed llart . man at fullback when the Nebraskans line up against Gwynn Henry's Tig ers. Although Lewqllen, Just recovered from an infected knee and sustained a bad shoulder bruise in scrimmage Tuesday, he expects to be in shape by Saturday. Slow motion pictures taken of Iasi Saturday's scoreless tie with Kansas, were shown the Huskies last night. They were given the opportunity to see themselves as others saw them. "The pictures showed up both our faults ami good points,” Head Coach Dawson said, adding, "I believe it will be of material help to the play ers.” Next Saturday will be a big day in Missouri Valley circles. All teams, I,ut one, Oklahoma, are playing con ference games. The Sooners take on Oklahoma A. and M. which should bring forth some comparison of Kansas and Oklahoma as the .lay hawkers were held to one touch down by the Oklahoma Aggies. The game which is probably at tracting most of the attention is the Kansas-Kansas Aggie conflict, which marks K. U.'s homecoming. This annual feud has grown year by year and although the Kansas Aggies have been unable to defeat Kansas since 1906, they believe this Is their year. And Aggies adherents are not with out reasons upon which to base their contentions. Kansas' stock boomed considerably when the Jayhawkers held Nebraska to a scoreless lie last week, but the Aggies were over at Ames, outplaying a great team, but unable to come forth • wdth better than a 7 to 7 tie. This game will give some Idea as to the task which confronts Nebras ka when the Kansas Aggies come here Thanksgiving day. Ames will have little difficulty de feating Washington university at St. Louis, a>ul Drake, playing its first conference game, should come through easily against Orinnell, Nebraska holds a slight edge over Missouri on the face of the season s record, hut the Tigers have been handicapped all season, because of injuries. Saturday they expect to start their full first string. Kansas, by virtue of thn fate which seems to guide its destiny when en gaging the Kansas Aggies, is favor ed to again humble Charley Bach man's team in spite of the Stark to Swartz passing combination which is a menace to any opposing team. Tim Next Klim Maud. Football isn't the most important thing in life, of course, but it is not to be treated among the zephyry in (bailments of existence. It has its moments of Joy and de spair beyond normality. Who, for example, can blame Vale me> for looking in the general direc tion of the Harvard game with grow ing emotion? From 1902 to 1912 Yale lost only one game to Harvard. In this long tri umphant inarch there were seven vic tories, one* defeat and two ties. Ten years with only one Crimson victory form a golden decade for the Blue. But there is now another side to the story. Since 1909 Harvard has lost only one game to Yale. There were tie wars In 1910 and 1911—Harvard triumphs In 1912, 1913, 1.914, 1915, 1919. 1920, 1921 and 1922. The lone Tale victory was in 1T10. with Tad Jones coaching Yale. The Next Affair. The next Blue-Crimson party is nn,v a month distant. But Tale, with only one victory over Harvard In IS year-, wherein 11 games were played, is naturally quite worked tip over any further extension of sorrow. Knough is reported to be almost sufficient. Tale won a large majori ty of the games from 1886 to 1909. But when this is mentioned Johnny Harvard leaps’ to his feet, chanting the old melody, "It Isn't what you used to be—it’s what you are today." Tale might retort with, "You made me what I am today—I hope you’re satisfied.” But Talc will proffer no such anthem. Tale is preparing with ail tt has to step this Crimson deluge and start a march of its own. So far Vale has the better back field and Harvard has the better line. Rut the moment Is entirely too soon for either camp to do any predicting. The Tigers Angle. In the meanwhile neither Vale nor Harvard cr.n afford to take Prince ton with any buoyant lightness. * In th» last four .tears the rampant Tiger has lost only one game to the Blue Crimson combination. I nder Bill Roper's excellent coach ing and tbiough the fine morale es tablished Princeton has non three out ■ >f four from Tale and has beaten Harvard twice with two drawn bat lie*. go Princeton has no va*t deficit of late year* to overcome. To lose but one contest out of eight, starts against Us two greatest rivals is nothing to weep over. And, while Tiger prospects are only fair for the Incumbent autumn, they were only fair around this date last year. But at the finish the general scheme was about a« roseate as a Florida sunrise. Gray Said It. Full many a Thorpe of purest ray serene The unknown, unsung colleges oft hear; Full many a Coy 1® bound to buck unseen And waste hla ruehe* on the ®mall town air. ■Wise sayings of a coach: "A great backfield doesn't help you a lot In the hospital or limping around on a crutch." Someone has ®tarted the annual fall argument of naming the four best pitchers of 1923. No one Is going far wrong in naming L,uque, of the Reds. Khmke, of the Red Sox; Shocker, of ihe Browns, and Dazzy Vance, of the Dodgers. They at least will do well enough. The most Intricate argument might be worked around second base, with Frank Frisch pitted against Rogers Hornsby. Here is a debate worthy of much language. Hornsby is the hotter hitter, Frisch tnorfe brilliant at covering the job. Both are worthy successors to Kddle Collin®, who Is still one of the greatest, after 11 years. As for turbulent football schedule®, thpre Is Penn State meeting the Navy, West Virginia, Syracuse. Geoigia Tech, Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh in ;i row. There isn't much "bed of roses" stuff along this highway. After four or five months of al most cloudless weather for sport, we have s melancholy hunch that foot ball is about due to catch.a few cloud bums on certain big gf^ic day1. The hunch may he wrong, but in this i heckered existence there is nothing like having your collar cut low. so as to be prepared for the worst. A strong offense Is always a good defense—until the other team gets the hall.

Leo Flynn, Brennan s man ager, believes it was.

But that period In the hospital Flynn now says has hade a new man of Brennan. Brennan used to be notorious for his disinclination to train. He couldn’t be bothered. But Brennan had to behave him self in the hospital. There wasn’t anything else to do. And he got used to It. Flynn declaies that the rejuvena lion of Brennan ia little short of marvelous and that Rig Bill Is a belter man today than when he held off ('hatnpion Jack Dempsey for 12 rounds.

Oct. 23.—Learn about horse racing: One of the largest, most powerful stables on the American turf employs two jockeys. One Jockey is called by the wise, cynical followers of racing "the do,” The other is called "the don't.” l*et us explain wiry. 'The jockey called “the do” Is an honest jockey, who rides his mount with but one idea—to win. He will not accept a mount under any other consideration. The jockey called "the don’t" will ride to stalrle orders. Sometimes these orders are not to win. The wise, cynical race followers have watched the performances of these Jockeys so long that they have come to believe that w-hen "the do” is on a horse that horse will win, if possible. When "the don’t” is on a horse it is a matter of doubt In the minds of the race followers if the horse is "meant”—if it ia out to make an honest race, to try to win. When the stable which employs these jockeys starts a horse with "the don't* up you hear a buzz among the race followers. "Are they betting?” The race followers wish to know if the owners of the stable are backing their horse. If so. it is accepted as an assurance that the horse is to be forced to every effort to win the race. If the stable is not betting with "the don't” up then the race follow ers feel that it ia a foregone conclu sion the horse will run out of the money. Contrast the public opinion of this stable with the sentiment toward stables that the race followers believe are honest. When Harry Payne Whitney, R T Wilson, Jr., or Admiral Grayson, for Instance, starts a horse the race fol lowers bark that horse with the con fidence that, while it may be beaten it will at least be run honestly. The owners of “the do" and "the don't” stable are wealthy men, but many men In this world would rather not have their wealth if the public opinion of them goes with it. New Forward Pass Record Is Set Creighton, Oct. 24—A new record for successful forward passes was set by the Creighton (Neb) High school football team last Friday in their game with O’Neil. They com pleted 21 passes out of 27 attempts during the game and defeated O'Neil 19 to 6. The statistics show that the former record for completed passes in a single game was 13. No record has been kept of how many yards each pass netted the team but the Creigh ton players declare that on none of their aerial pla>s was less than eight .cards gained and on some the total was SO cards. Creighton has been defeat*d twice this season, once by O Nell and once by Nellgh. The O'Neil team man aged to make one touchdown in the first game while Creighton was un able to score. To balance their I record of two defeats the Creighton j Ites hace two wins and a scoreless tie to theif credit. The team goes to Pierce this Fri day for a game with that schools eleven. Wendell Hammarly. left end: Harry Hortaman, right end, and Edward Viterna, left halfback, were the play ers who figured In the aerial game that set the new record. Old Welbourne If ins a Hare hut Gets \ <> Fame V* Only by Faying $261.80 J I.aurel, Md„ Oct. -24,—He was old and despised. lfls name was 01(5 W'elbourne, and because of that, th4 fans laughed at him. He went to the post carrying 24 pounds, again the fans laughed. Tip- long shot pickers, (lie "outsider luvem," look 'd him over and mistook the weight he carried for the figures of his age. He was practically ignored. That was then. Now they look at their programs, then at one another, •hen toward the barns where Old W elbourric, calmly munches his fav oti'e feed. After lonkp ' they sigh ami mutter to themselves. Why' Why Old Well,,cirne w;c-n't so old after all and. despised at the start, he showed, the favorites the way to the wire and won in a walk, as they gay. Great Cheers rent the air when /dev, believed a "faint hope," romp ed home to win international hon ors and a pot of gold. Gloorn hung low over the grandstands when Old W'elbourne rame home to win a mediocre purse and no great honors. And all because the old one was an outsider, with the backers. A few backed him tis true These wise ones, collected some $2tj4.SO for each ?2 used in the backing: hut these few were not considered the "wise ones." They were not of the elite who glibly tell the age, the color, the time and the ancestors of each thoroughbred and then back the losing runner. They were merely the few "hangers on' who 1. kily ch ■ » the right horse. Seven horses went to the barrier in the final event here yesterday af ternoon. Of the seven Bastille ruled favorite with the dockers and the pickers. Fj\e others had a chance but Old W’elbourne stood alone and forsaken, something to be laughed at when inert!, md Jr n res is .■ *T versa ti on. The barrier was sprung. The ran- * ners leaped into the race, old Wef. boume took the lead. There was no worry, the race was one end three sixteenth miles long and it was a weary stre’ot fre— -r > wire. The mile pole flashed I <Hd W’elbourne still led. But. as they turned into the stretch, he still led. Surely the rest would overtake the has been, or never was. and leave him far behind. Bastille tried and fell back, tired out. Hid WVlbournes lead increased. Shrieks and screams of encouragement filled the air, but none were for the leader. Rather prayers that he might stumble and break a leg, or a neck, were h:s portion. But the prayers of the many wept unanswered. Old W’elbourne won, and won easily. Now Oid W'elbourne stands in his stall, a winner, yes; but what an unpopular winner of a race. The strongest demand for this im portant race comes from the auto mat and one armed lunch rooms. America is getting to be a great turf nation. Rut the (test test e< a hoss liner is to go and hire one by the hour.
