PART TWO OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEfPTEMBER 7, 1924._1—B_ FIVE CENTS Coaches Amused at Reports of “Greatest Ever” Team for Nebraska Husker Mentors Want Chance to Develop Eleven University Prospects Bright But No Sensational Collec tion of Gridsters Promised. Nf»b., Sppt. — Nebraska coaches are getting what lias come to ho known as "quite a kick" out of pre sea s o n predic tions with refer ence to the Corn h u s ker football team of 1921. “Ey all means get it before the people that Ne braska has tho greatest team ' in in .up world. 1 know ttiat to be true because I’ve read it several times al ready. I'm laughing." That from Head Coach Dawson. "Where does this 'greatest line in Nebraska's history’ originate? That's possible, as it always Is when there Is a lot of promising material, but until the various candidates have a chance I see no reason for lauding them to the. skies." Coach Schulte speaking. There lias been a small group of prospects foiling all through the sum mer on the drill grounds. Most of their work lias been ronllurtl to kick ing and passing. This was done as a measure of conditioning rather than practice. Coaches in Charge Soon. Not until September IB, under the Missouri Valley rulings, can the coaching stnff lake charge. It prob ably will not be long then until the mentors will have their own opin ions of what Nebraska's chances are for another successful season. The Huskers face one of the toughest as signments of their career to even re tain the Missouri Valley title, which it shared last year wdth Kansas, with I out taking into consideration Illinois, Colgate, Notre Dame and the Oregon Aggies. Missouri appears now to be the strongest prospect among Valley teams. The Tigers play here Novem ber 1. They held the Huskers to a 7-7 tip Inst year and practically the entire team is hack tills year. Nebraska fyost Backfleld. Both Kansas and Kansas Aggies T . a bunch of veterans last year, but ho did Nebraska. The backfleld of the Huskers was entirely wiped out. Th fighting Iiliin open the season here October 4. The Huskers lost to Illinois last year for the same reason that all the Big Ten elevens did— ton much Bed Grange. There is a "i .-d" who is a menace. Colgate, one of the strong eastern teams last season, which hung the only defeat on Syracuse which the orange suffered, is carrying another sensation In the form of Eddie Try on, halfback. Tryon led the east In scoring honors until late in the year when Bfann. Cornell's all-American back, nosed him out. Colgate begins practice Thursday. The Maroon team plays here October 18, which is homecoming. Harlow anil Rauch, wl:o were playing with Penn Slate in 1920 when the Huskers took a 20 to 0 defeat, are coaching Colgate this year. Ready for Practice. With a sod weld at Nebraska stadl tint, the practice field in shape and September 15 not so far off, football followers of this vicinity are champ ing on the bit for the greatest of all collegiate sports to get under way. Reservations for tlie home games are already being made through John K. Selle< k. business manager of nth letics, who is anticipating the biggest season Nebraska ever had in the way of attendance. "People come here now knowing they rs n get seats. Back of seating room kept many fans away in years ^t,” he slates; r West Virginia Starts Training JACKSON’S MILE, W. Ya.. Sept. 8._Ufe in the open and long practice sessions seem to agree1 with the 90 West Virginia university athletes who have been training hrrr for tile last six days. Already most of the Mountaineers are looking for ward to another week of work tinder |)r. C. tv. Spears, head coach, and Ills staff of assistants. No time was wasted tills week. FHil da rnentn Is were stressed the first two nr three days and then Dr. Spears passed fin to the perfecting forma linns and the like. Even the unlniil nted can see that the Mountaineer squad ts far along In Its work. All of the men were In good physical eon dltlon when they reported and they have been able to earry out all orders with so called ’’neatness and dis patch.” Every man has been giving his best and during the coming week there is going to be plenty of excitement. 1’lavers from last year's freshman eleven and men regarded as second siring timber In 192.1 are Hosing In on regulars. The whole squad has l reached the stage where each Intends to conclusively prove that the roache.t will be making a mistake If they keep him iff the varsity. l Among three making serious bids ' for regulsr berths nre Bruder, Mahrt, Ollker.

Often we have been asked by turf fans what becopies of the jockey when increasing weight, the bugaboo r>f all riders, puts at an end their life In the pound and a half saddle. Are they fitted for any business? Are they content to work for a wage that is insignificant to the salary they once earned guiding the thorough bred In its mad flight to victory or defeat? These arc the questions that are asked every day by those who admire the courage and skill of the little men who battle through the stretch urging their mounts to do their best for their owners. Satiric Handled Mari llaltcr. Jockeys should and do make capa ble tfalners is our answer. A rider without a natural love for a thorough bred never makes a successful pilot. Take for instance, Sando and the no furious but fleet-footed rogue Mad Hatter. Mad Hatter has always been a nightmare to Trainer Sam Hildreth. He was a demon in his stall and in the afternoon in his races no one ever knew when he would race kindly or when he would sulk. Sands one day took him in hand and with the horse's confectionery, sugar, after frequent visits to bin stall from time to tune finally completely w >n hie confidence. Hand** learned bis whims and discovered that a word of encour agtrnent spoken to him during the running of a race did more to make Mad Hatter extend himself than the prbk «»f the steels or the cut of the whip. Mad H itter won repeatedly for Hand** and carried olT several Impor tant. metropolitan turf fixtures. It. Is the Hands type of rider that makes a capable trainer. It Is the Jockey that makes a study *>f Ihc horse that wrhen the time comes for him to x nests the saddle ran can turn hi* hand to conditioning the runner and be able to make a suc cess of the Job. Jockey Trainers Successful. Take the cases of one time cel©-1 brated Jockeys who today are train ing horses with such marked success that they command salaries,that more than rival that of a hank president. First of nil we call attention to Andy Blakely, who years ago rode with the best of them. Blakely turned his hand to training and only last Satur day reached the zenith of his career when he saddled Master Cr-1.1*11 e for his employer, W. Daniels, and watch ed him defeat a field of 2r> starters to win the $50,000 Hopeful stakes at I Saratoga. Then there is Carol Shill ing, who during the heyday of his saddle career ranked as one of the best Jockeys In the world. Today be is training for the millionaire, Gifford Cochran, and the fact that he has held his Job down for the past three year* speaks for itself. Out on the coast, at Tlajuana, the winter before last, a quiet man of small stature saddled Buster Keaton In four Juvenile stakes and made a clean sw'eep of them by annexing all four with the colt named after the famous screen comedian. This was George Miller, who rode In the days when Tod Sloan was the talk of the turf. A walk around the paddock on the big tracks in New York convinces one that the level headed Jockey of yes terday makes the good trainer of to day, For at New York can he point ed out Fred Tarnl, oner* known as the “Flying Dutchman." Willie Shield, "Snapper" Garrison, “Pudden" Mc Daniel, Lloyd Gentry, George Odom, Charles Koerner, Johnny Loftus and others, riders who won fame on the big tracks, now training horses with more than a fair measure of succesi.. POLO SEASON ON AT BIARRITZ OVAL Paris, Sept. 6.—-The Biarritz Polo club’s second season has begun with every prospect of success. Situated a© the top of a hill, the club’s two match grounds are very level, wt*!l covered with grass, and In perfect condition. There is commodious eta tiling near the grounds for over ino ponies. At the present late of ex change the cost of polo at Plarrlts, where the season lasts till the end of October, compares favorably with the expense of play In Kngland. The Hub has a royal pattern In King Alfonso, who Is expected to play there this season. Several other Spanish play ers are coming, notably the Marquis da Vlllabrnglma, Count Vein you, the Marquis of San Miguel and the Count ■1« Santo Mauro, WITH a constantly growing list of candidates for honor* In the event* of the Ak-Sar-Ren fall race meeting. September 9 to !7, Omaha'* racing plant I* rapidly tak ing on a very busy aspect. One month ago It wa* a difficult thing to find a thoroughbred "breez ing" about the track. There were a few quartered there, but they only worked out on certain dava. Now the number of bangtail* occupying stalls at the track la great enough to make workouts R dally occurrence. John Singleton Is among those present with hls string of star per formers. There Is Rungeorge, friend of many meetings, a. horse with ex cellent breeding, always ready to try. On one aide of Rungeorge stands •Seth's Alibi, mighty son of Seth, who Is bound to surprise the customers at least once this fall. And on the other side of Rungeorge lives Kilcare. clever little horse, all set for hls "spot" some time (luring the next three weeks. Then there I* a chestnut Ally that was once a hope of Nebraska. Anna f'hestnut, owned by Gallup A Tanner South Omaha stock buyer*. Is the horse. She started out as a I-yesr old and had a lot of promise. Then a little hard luck overtook her snd she had to retire for a few months. Now she Is hark and In form onrc more. She is a filly that will be heard from before the final race of the meeting Is run. Flaxey Mae returned to an Ak Sar Ben stabla with R F. McClain's string. She brought n»w honors with her from the track at Vancouver. Canada, where she has raced this summer. Purtng the meeting there she won three handicaps, among which waa the Hudson Ray handicap, the feature event of the meet. Just to prove her success In this race there la a mammoth ailver loving cup In the stable, an award made an nually to the winner of the handicap. Burman, the property of M. J. Rueder, South Omaha, was caught ng he breezed around the track anil the big bay breezed, too. His form of last spring seems to be a memory and he is beginning to live up to breeding. Then, too, getting out of the horses, is the no less important personage the jockey. Among the earlteat Jockeys to rearh tha track was Ger rlttjr, clever rider of the C. R. Irwin string. Gerrltty met with a lot of succesa during the summer and has developed even a keener sense of fit ness In horses than hs showed last spring. From every indication now Gerrltty will be “on top" at the fin ish of several races this fall. Two Colts, Sired by Man-o’-War, Entered in $50,000 Futurity Stake Now York, Sept, ft—The $.>0,000 Futurity, inaugurated in 1888, will be run at Belmont park on September 13. Indication* point to * big field to be selected from 138 eligible*. Most of the best 2 year olds already have l»een tested under saddle, but, it is said, that numerous "sleepris" are being prepared for the historic stakes.

SMONT, Neb., Sept. 6.—With 10 veter ans to form £ n u cIeus arounc which to btpld a team that will hold tta own against such teams at Creighton Unlver sity and Haskell Coach W. G. Spear has issueo a call for football material to appear on the opening day of the fall term on Septem ber 8. Work has already begun on a new athletic field two blocks east of the college, where the high school and Midland games will be played this fall. Arrangements are being made for a large seating capacity to care for the mammoth crowd that will he in attendance at the opening game with Chet Wynne’s gridiron athletes. A move has already been started among business men of the city to close all business places and stores on the afternoon of the Creighton Midland fracas September 26. It is probable that the merchants will de clare a half holiday for the event so all may get to see the contest. The veterans who will return to the Midland fold this year, according to the latest records, are the follow ing: Harley Tschudy, captain-elect. Red and E. Luschi. Pinkall. Bruninc. Chambers, Cunningham. Kistler, Car mody and Thompson. Ip addition a wealth of promising new moteria! is in prospect with the largest fresh man class in the history of the col lege already assured of registration thus far. , Midland college Is facing l*s heav iest gridiron schedule in years with teams like Creighton, the mighty Has kell Indians, Wesleyan, the cham pionship flashing eleven, and Grand {slapd. Coach Frank's Zebras were the only conference team to defeat the Midland squad last year, and with the Ue administered by Wes leyan. Coach Speer’s eleven was forced to give up the conference title it had won the year before under Coach Chet Wynne, now at Creigh ton. Vi eck of Practice Shows Frailties ST \TE COLLEGE. I’a., Sept, fi — A hard scrimmage this afterooor ronipleted the first week of prae tire for tlie Penn State football squad whirl) opened its preparations for tlx 1921 season on I^thor day. As a re j suit of the twiee-a-day workouts Coach Hugo Herdek and his assist ants have been able to get a definit* line on the material and to formula!* their plans for the coming grid cam paign. Despite some excellent material. ! many weaknesses have cropped out i and the task of the coaching staff is i! going to l>e harder than was antic! ; pated Even the veterans from last ! year have shown a woeful Sack «t : knowledge of the fundamentals, while the newcomers are not expected to ' know much as yet. After a hard session with the line men tod.i> Rexdek shook his bend in disappointed fashion. "I can t under stand how we got by as well as we did last year." he said. "I guess It must have been Harry Wilson, he added with a smile a minute later. The fact that Wilson scored every Penn State touchdown during the last : stx games of the schedule hears out | this surmise. ROZGALL STOPS FRENCH IN SEVENTH .lie-ley.
