University of Nebraska Varsity Trims Frosh, Using Kansas Plays to - « Husker Coaches Losing No Time •ft{ . Preparing Team “Choppy” Rhodes Reels Off Customary Long Run for Touchdown; Weir Out of Lineup. INCOLN, Oct. 22.— Nebraska's coach ing staff is taking no chances of per mitting the Corn huskers to gloat over their Satur day victory. Two nights of hard scrimmage have been on the pro gram thus far this week, with one more session re maining before the Huskers en train for the ho%ie of the Kansas Jayhawkers. AVednesday evening found the fresh men using Kansas plays ns the first string's opponents. The varsity got off to a flying start by scoring a touchdown before the bleacher hawks had time to ejaculate "Jack Robin son.” On the second play after the kick off away went "Choppy" Rhodes on what has become one of his dally ■ dozen, a gambol through a broken field to a touchdown. A long run by Bloodgood put the varsity in position to score. The frosh tightened ?fter ...... , ihat, however, and the going got con siderable rougher for the first string. Captain Ed AA’eir was thp only regu lar missing when team A lined up - ' at first, but soon after the second - . kjckoff most of the first string had 1 'Jfgen subbed out. The frosh began mixing forward passes with a few line bucks and got down to the var sity's five-yard line before the first (string finally checked the attack and took the ball on downs. Before the scrimmage session Coach Dawson sent the squad through the list of fundamentals, such as tackling * the dummy and a stiff workout be _p*een the padded posts for the line men.

In offensive work, the varsity tore through the seconds for con sistent gains. The lineup remained practically unchanged, although frciiiirnt changes were made in the backfield. Barring accidents, the same team that started against Ijawrence should fare the Gophers Saturday.

By “WAG.” hi: 'l>ig three" of the Nebraska heavyweight "bone crushers"— Joe Steoher, Pat McGill anil "Big Alunn" — have their lines of at tack all planned out nnd late this month will start their attack on Champion Kd (Strangler) Lewis for the world's wrestling title. By reason of his recent mat vic tories, Pat McGill, WTsner, Neb., wrestler, will lie given the first shot at Champ Lewis. Th&«e two “bone crushers" will meet in a finish match in Chicago on Thursday evening, Oc tober 30. It will tie tiie second time that the Nebraskan has had a chance to dethrone Lewis. In the previous match the champion pulled his crown through In “safety. McGill has made rapid strides In the wrestling profession, if you want to call it that. Not so long ago hut that we can remember ; unite plainly. McGill was wrestling 1 in preliminary liotils. Now lie is i wrestling for the championship. ! The consideration a grappler re- ; ceives for appearing in a prellinln- j ary hoot helps fill the family coffer. Joe Steelier started his “come- ] hack" campaign In Wichita Mon day by throwing Ordeniann In straight falls. The Wichita pro moter has promised Joe a match with IiOwis next month, providing the rhanip retains his laurels when I he goes to Hie mat with Pat McGill. "Big" Munn, the Omaha heavy weight wrestler, isn't doing much. "Rig" Is waiting for developments, liut is keeping In condition by work ing out. each afternoon. He has been promised a bout with the champ by a Kansas City promoter. Munn does most of his wrestling in Kan sas City and seems to stand "ace high" with the K. C. mat promoters. "TINY” HERMAN MAY FIGHT FIENTE IN VERNON RING. Several days ago Jack Lewis, man ager of ''Tiny" Herman. Omaha heavyweight fighter, received w-ord from a fight promoter at Vernon, Cal., inquiring whether or not Her man would he willing to meet the winner of the Tony Fuente-Floyd Johnson bout. Lewis no sooner read the telegram than he fired back this answer: “Herman will fight any one you select." I.ast night In the Vernon ring, Puente, Mexican heavyweight box er who recently came into tbe box ing spotlight through a series ol flashy' knockouts, won a close de cision over Floyd Johnson. It was a big upset. Johnson was expected to easily defeat the Mexiran In their four-romid bout. Jack I>ewis is now wondering if the Vernon promoter still wants Herman to meet Fuente. The latter didn’t heat Johnson by a very large margin and I-ewls thinks the promoter may not wish to take a rhanre with “Tiny" and the new heavyweight sensation of the roast. One of Omaha’s few fight clubs, we don’t know the name, is angling for a Herman-Martin Burke 11-round fight for this city. The bout would draw, no doubt.
