To the freshman team of 1910 has ben assigned the difficult task of fur nishing opposition for the 'varsity and to them has been applied that rather time-worn and may I not say time honored appellation of "ScrubB." Wo, all of us are at times wont to think of the scrubs are an indetermin ate, undoscribablo mass of unbreak able bones and unpuncturable flesh, to bo used as a "shifting silhouette," to test the penetrating ability of the 'var Bity's "big caliber." I protest against any such idea being associated with the Nebraska freshman or 1910. . Those of you who nave had the op portunity to witness thiB body of faith ful men in their daily practice, have long since been convinced that such an idea Js erroneous. And those of you who may have the pleasure of witnessing the 'varsity of 1911 in ac tion will be forcibly reminded of the "worth, of the 19i0 scrubs when you witness them transformed into "regu lars." There are few people who realize the Important place the "scrub" holdB in college football. Were It not for the "scrub" there would be no 'varsity. Depends on Scrubs. The success of any 'varsity team dependB upon the spirit of the "scrubB." They are the men who do the work and receive no honor, ex cept possibly to win a place on the regular team the following season. Every "scrub" who puts on his foot ball togs and shows up regularly at practice during the season, does yeo man service for his college. The 'var sity player gets his honor in winning his "N," and in doing good work in i.- omAo vliirlnc tho flGHBOn. The "scrub's" glory consists In getting beaten upby the 'varsity In trying out new playB, a ".standing room" ticket t the games at home, and In the years previous to this a small trip to a neighboring town, but owing to a re cent rule of the Missouri Valley Con ference even this privilege of a small out-of-town game has been denied them. . Tho ambition of any football player is to win his regular position In order that after achieving tho knowledge of the different formations he knows ex actly his position in each formation the instant the signal is called. The scrub has no regular position and may be shifted several times in a single evening's practice. Their plays are never the same. For Instance, this Beason they practiced formations for a few days and were getting them in good working order. Then the assis tant coach watched the Kansas team play, came back, threw tho plays of the scrubs to one side, and began on Kansas' plays. They mastered those plays In a couple of evenings, played them against the 'varsity for a few evenings and then changed on the fol lowing Monday to Ames plays. Thus, throughout the. entire season they "have to master every formation of op posing teams. The spirit they show by mastering these plays and using them with al most as much precision as the op ponents of the 'varsity, who have given their whole season's work to master the same plays and tho success of the freshman or "scrubs" this season Is shown by the way in which the varsi ty broke up the formations of Kansns and Amps. Fine Spirit. There is no finer exhibition of Col lege spirit anywhere than that dis played by the "scrubs." Day after day, week -after week, .during tho en tiro season, they don their football togs, regardless of studies or social pleasures, and present themselves at nractlce each "afternoon that "the I coaches may use him in some way in The Team!
