NEBRASKA FOOTBALL TEAM BATTLES ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAMPS Turkey Day Struggle on Nebraska Field Will Be Last Appearance of 1921 Missouri Valley Champions Swanson, Pucelik, and Wright To Fight Last Battle For Scarlet And Cream Today. CORNHUSKERS EAGER TO AVENGE LAST YEAR'S DEFEAT Coach Dawson's Men Complete Training To Overcome Aerial Game That Colorado Aggies Boast Husker Line Will Outweigh Oppon ents By Big Margin In Line And Backfield.

Hartshorn The 1921 Cornhusger football ma chine will make its last appearance of the season this afternoon on Ne braska field when the Huskersi will mix with the Colorado Aggies, champ ions of the Rocky Mountain confer ence. Coach Dawson's athletes are primed for a great Turkey Day demonstration and it will be the last chance of the season for Husker football enthusi asts to witness the 1921 Missouri Val ley champions In action. The Aggies held the Corn buskers to a 7 to 0 score in an early season contest last year and have been winning a big percentage of their games this year The Nebraska eleven Isi in first class condition for the final fray and Coach Dawson is depending on his warriors to wind up the season with a big victory. The Aggies have been weakened this year considerably by the absence of some of last year's stel lar performers but are bringing two of the greatest players in the Rocky Mountain conference to Lincoln, in the Hartshorn brothers. Tho Huskers will outweigh the Ag gies by a big margin in the forward wall with the backfields of both ma chines about equal In weight. Fred Hartshorn will probably be on the booting end for Coach Hughes' eleven. The younger Hartshorn has a reputa tion of being the best punter in the conference and given a chance, will probably be able to give the Aggies a few points by the field goal route. Coach Hughes of the Aggies has been spending c-onsiderable time with his proteges In perfecting an aerial attack which he intends to launch against Coach Dawson's men today. The "million dollar" play, the most talked of shift in the Rocky Mountain conference will be in evidence today also and should furnish the Huskers Plans Laid For Big Wteek Next June In Connection With Commencement Festivities By G. C. Follmer. What to do to bring taem back; what to do to revive the interest of all alumni in their University; what to do to build up spirit de corps for tbis college? These are the interroga tions which will be answered by the plans for next June. Realizing that the greatness of any University is lim ited by the spirit of It's alumni and ' ex-students, it seems that the ans wer to the last two questions lies in the solution of the flrsL In other words, If some real inducement can be found which will make every one want to direct their footsteps back to the old campus at least once each year the development of the esprit de coips and the progress of the Univer sity will follow as naturally as tho law ot gravatation. Last year President R. O. Simmons, of the alumni association, on assum ing office, immediately appointed a AFTERNOON TODAY'S GAME. Colorado : le Torrey It Burdick Ig McMichael c Myers rg Wigle Bam some trouble in stopping it. Coach Dawson has been giving the Huskers crew stiff workouts in the little time that has elapsed since the Ames con test and Coach Farley Young's frosh squad have been using the Colorado plays against the varsity. The yearlings were able to make several good gains by the aerial route in practice the last few evenings, us ing the Colorado plays but the Corn husker mentors expect to be fully pre pared for this form of attack. The of fensive playing that worked bo well against the Ames Aggies will he tried against the Colorado men in a some what different manner. The Huskers used new shifts against the Ames men for long gains through the line but Coach Dawson expects to shift this attack to more passes and long end runs. Three Cornhusker veterans will play their last contest for the scarlet and cream this afternoon. Captain Swan son, left end, John Pucelik, left guard, and Floyd Wright, left halfback, are the three men who have played their three years of varsity football for the Husker institution. These three men have played important roles in practically every game for the last three years and their places will he hard to fill next year. Captain Swan son and Pucelik received all-American mention last year by most of the lead ing critics of the country and are con sidered two of the best gridiron per formers ever developed at Nebraska. Wright is one of the greatest allround athletes of the institution and holds a number of Missouri Valley records on the cinder path as well as being a great football player. He has been one of the most dependable men in the backfield to carry the ball and his long end runs have been the foundation for many a Husker victory. Homecoming committee from the alumni to discover that particular something which will arise in everyone that desire to come back. This committee has called upon committees of the faculty and student bedy in order to get ideas and co operation from every branch of the school. These three committees will constitute a central organization, which will be charged with, the respon sibility of carrying thru any plans that may be adopted. Three Day Affairs. If tentative plans work out, the three days following examinations and just proceeding commencement, will be devoted to a combination of alumni affairs. The home coming and anlversity celebration of every organi zation in school will be held on the same sight, preferably Thursday fol lowing examinations.
