EOI
AFTER" MUCH SHIFTING ABOUT
READY TO FACE ICHABODS. '
WASHBURN TEAM IN TOWN
Those Who Attend the Game Are Cer
tain to Witness a Close and .
Exciting Contest Result
is Doubtful.
By. H. I, Kyle.
The campus is enveloped in an at
mosphere of tense expectancy today.
It is' always'hard to forecast the result
of the opening game of the season,
and doubly so this year because of the
shifting policy adopted by Coach
Stiehm the forepart of this week. The
'fact bas at last Impressed itself upon
the student body that the Nebraska
warriors are facing a grim, gruelling
struggle tomorrow, with only a fair
chance for victory.
To those, who have followed the
scrimmage of the past week closely,
it would not be surprising, if a large
iscore were piled up by both sides. Ne
braska, with her wonderful backfleld,
is almost certain to score several
times, but with her line decidedly
weak on defense, it is not unlikely that
Washburn, toq, will score often.
The line-up when this opening
whistle blows tomorrow, will probably
be: : -
Cameron, center.
Abbott, right guard.
Corey, right tackle.
Balis, right end.
Shields, left guard.
Norrls, left tackle.
Amack, left end.
Howard, quarterback.
Halligan, right halfback.
Rutherford, left halfback.
ChambeTlain, fullback.
Should the Cornhusker machine suc
ceed in amassing a safe score in the
early stages of the game several men
on the waiting list will be given an
opportunity to demonstrate their
ablliity,
The Washburn team arrived from
Topeka this morning. We have not
seen them yet, but we understand
they are a fierce blood-thirsty aggre
gation calling themselves the "Blue
Devils," which sounds serious. Our
final prayer is that their blueness
may be even more noticeable when
they take their leave.
BUCK WILL SPEAK

time to meditate upon it while ma
rooned In London. He will have tbe
latest on the situation in war-ridden
Europe and those who are watching
the struggle abroad should make it a
point to hear him.
