SPEED TEAM IS AIM
OF ILLINOIS MENTOR
Zuppke Plans o Make Speed
Vital Factor in Game With
Cornhuskers.
(Special to The Nebraskan.)
URBANA, 111., Sept- 24. Coach
Robert C. Zuppke of the Illinois foot
ball team has been busy this past
week developing a speedy team with
which he hopes to win from ye Corn
husker aggregation when they meet
here Oct. 6.
During the past week Zuppke has
made the fact clear that everything
will be sacrificed for speed. In the
line a3 well as in the backf ield speedy
candidates will be chosen over those
having weight and experience.
Harold Grange, a sophomore who
plays a half, is the find of the sea
son it is agreed by sport writers who
have seen him in action. He is one
of the fastest men seen here in years,
a wonderful open field runner and
works in well with Mcllwain, veteran
half. Grange will be playing his first
year of conference football this
year.
Grange is the only star of last
year's freshmen squad to report this
year, other promising material ma
triculating in different schools.
Despite these losses Zuppke has a
dozen likely candidates fighting for
backfield berths.. The combination
to which he has given the preference
thus far is, Hall at quarter, Crawford
at full and Mclllwain and Grange at
halves.
Most of Zuppks's candidates for
end have had little experience but
8peedy men are trying for the posi
tion among them being Lipe, basket
ball guard, and Graham, crack quar
ter miler.

COMPARES NEBRASKA
STADIUM WITH YALE
Dunbar Approves Plan of
Building Stadium With
Idea of Additions.
The Nebraska Memorial Stadium
will compare very favorably with
the world-famous Yale Bowl when
completed, according to Dr. Carl
Dunbar, Yale professor who was in
Lincoln this summer.
"I think that the University of
Nebraska is very wise in building
such a lartre stadium and one that
can be enlareed later on," Dr. Dun
bar told Dr. G. E. Condra of Ne
braska while he was here. .
"When the Yale bowl was built, it
was thought that it never would be
filled. At the present time it be
comes so crowded that no tickets
are put on sale to the public and
each student can buy only three tick
ets. Of course, the Lincoln stadium
is too larere now. but I believe it
will soon fill up as did the Yale
bowl," he said.
The Yale bowl seats 76,000 at the
nresent time. The new Nebraska
Memorial Stadium can ' seat over
30,000 now and could seat as many
as the Yale bowl if it were completed
on both ends of the field.
As the name indicates, the Yale
bowl completely encircles the field.
It is half buried in the ground. The
Nebraska stadium could not be bur
ied that far because of the low loca
tion on which it is being built.
Kansas and Nebraska have played
every year excepting 1904 and 1905
and in that time the Jayhowicers nave
been able to win eight games out of
27 played. The Kansans succeeded
in deadlocking the count in 1920 for
the only tie game ever played be
tween the two schools.

Varsity Shows Strength in Clash
Monday With First-year Gridsters
The first battle of the year be
tween the varsity and the freshmen
warriors was staged on the stadium
field Monday afternoon. Coach Far
ley Young invaded the varsity camp
with thirty ambitious pigskin .young
sters and a real battle was on. Coach
Dawson and Freshmen Coach Young
each picked two squads and sent
them to it.
Team "A" of the varsity squad
was given the ball first and they
marched through the Frosh for big
gains on almost every play. Cap
tain Lewellen, Herb Dewitz, Hart-
man and Noble going through the
line and around the ends on every
play..
This quartet along with Rufus De
witz are showing their old time stuff
and they are going to be a combina
tion that Coach Zuppke and his pro
teges will find hard to stop.
The line consisting of Berquist,
McGlasson, Bassett, Weir, and West-
opoul were very powerful and show
great prospects for a wonderful for
ward wall before the season is over.
They are very powerful and aggres
sive but are not certain as to their
assignments. Time and practice will
have them in splendid shape.
Berquist at his old place at guard
is very dependable and checks up on
the center and guard playing next
to him.
Captain Lewellen, who has been
shifted from halfback to quarter
back is taking a hold of the position
commendably. He handles the ball
cleanly and his headwork in his
choice of plays shows that he is
studying the opposing defense.
Noble and Herb Dewitz were
showing good form in lugging the
ball through the line and around the
ends with the same speed and shifti
ness that have made them terrors to
all opponents.
TEN THOUSAND ARE
REGISTERED IN UNI
List Includes All Students in
Branches. Record Is Still
Incomplete.
With the sure prospect of having
more than 10,000 students on its
hands and conscience this academic
year the University of Nebraska
launched-out Thursday on the in
structional work of the fifty-fifth
year of its history. The regular reg
istration period ended Wednesday,
but students were still coming in
Saturday, and will -continue this
week, especially in the Graduate Col
lege. The total of over 10,000 students
includes those on the Lincoln cam
pus and those at the College of Med
icine in Omaha, those at the Curtis
School of Agriculture and the exten
sion students.
The registration on the city cam
pus alone shows an increase of 354
over the registration of last year.
For the corresponding date last year
there were 4,433 students registered.
This year there are 4,787. This
count of Lincoln students does not
take into account the increase in the
summer school registration.
NOTRE DAME TEAM
WHIPS INTO FORM
Rockne Looking for Heavier
Material for Line to Use
Against Nebraska.
(Specialto The Nebraskan.)
NOTRE DAME, Ind., Sept. 23.
Coach K. K.Uockne put his football
squad through a stiff, workout the
past week and will start heavy scrim
mage in a few days in order to pre
pare his squad for their game with
Kalamazoo next Saturday.
Rockne is devoting most of his at
tention to filling the places left by
the graduation of last year's stars:
Castner at full, Degree at guard and
Cotton at tackle. For guard Rockne
has Capt Brown, who weighs but
165 and Kizer who is also the same
weight. Rockne is looking for a
heavier man to develope for use
against the heavy squads like Army
and Nebraska.
At center Regan looks better than
the other candidates but weighs only
163. This trio of light men in the
line is Rockne's chief worry.
Hartman, playing plain fullback,
did credible work both on the of
fense and defense.
Under. Chick Hartley's personal
coaching hartman is developing into
a great fullback. His work Mon
day on the defense brought applause
many times.
On team "B" Rufus Dewitz and
Locke were carrying the ball through
the frosh with equal regularity. It
was necessary for the first year men
to use as high as three men on each
of the varsity luggers to stop them.
Bud Randolph's shiftiness is w-jll
worth mentioning.

Dope Story in Chicago Tribune
Says Zuppke Faces Prob
lem in Placing Men.
The Nebraska game, Oct. 6, is
causing worry in the Illinois camp,
according to a story Sunday in the
Chicago Tribune.
The Blue and Gold have a compar
atively green squad with which to
face Nebraska, according to the news
story, and suffered heavily through
graduation of many of their stars.
It is the plan of the Illinois team
to sacrifice everything for speed, and
not only a speedy backfield jvill be
put into action, but weight and ex
perience in the line will also be put
aside by Coach Zuppke.
The freshmen team, which re
ceived so much high praise, failed
to produce men of varsity caliber,
and of the four men who were real
ly high grade material, three were
lost to the school. '
Many of the Illini are men who
have never seen heavy football, and
Coach Zuppke faces a difficult prob
lem in placing his men, the article
states. '
JUDGING TEAM IN

YEARLINGS SHOW SKILL
IN MONDAY WORKOUT
Freshmen Make Good Showing
in Offensive Work When
Pitted Against Varsity
Freshmen football" men had their
first taste of blood last evening when
two yearling teams were pitied
against two squads of the varsity in
the first varsity-freshman football
scrimmage of the season. The thir-
tv-two first years men used in the
scrimmage showed up well after only
a few days of practice, and held the
varsity regulars to short gains.
Gains made by the varsity men
against the freshmen, although con
sistent, were kept within safe limits.
Twenty yards was the greatest gain
made at any time, and the average
plunee through the yearling line was
about four yards. Several times the
freshmen wall stood firm and held
their ground without any loss. .
On the offensive the freshmen
made a good showing. A break thru
the varsity line netted them six
yards on one play. The team of the

Plans Lectures From
Outside Professors
During the orientation period
Monday, Dean Ferguson explained to
the freshmen engineers just what
the course was. He plans to have
about one-fifth of the lecture given
by men outside of the Engineering
College.
Two hundred and thirty-two fresh
men registered for the course, mak
ing the class so large that beginning
two weeks from last night the lec
tures will be given in the Temple
theater. Next week the class is to
be divided, about half of them at
tending at four o'clock and the other
half at five, the regular time.
Amoner those in the Engineering
College who lectured last year and
probably will this year are Professors
Mickev. Chatburn. Hollister, DeBau-
fre, Wood, Evinger, and Haney. Men
from outside the college were Pro
fessors UpsOn, Sweezy, Bengtson,
nemini?. and Fossler. The first lec
ture, given next week will be by
Dean O. J. Ferguson.
Plan Cross-country
Other Valley
Cross-country meets with Okla
homa. Kansas, and Missouri will
probably be held at the 6ame time
with the football games with these
schools, according to CoCach J. Lloyd
McMasters. When Oklahoma comes
to Lincoln to nit her gridsters against
the Cornhusker squad, the cross
country squad will probably come.
The contracts have not yet been
signed, but it is almost a certainty
that the schedule will go through, ac
cording to the coaca.
Onlv forty men have signed up for
the harrier squad up to date.
"In a school the size of Nebraska,
we should have at least a hundred
and twenty-iive men out," asserted
Coach McMasters. "If the fresh
men want to win an "N" next year,
they should come out this year and
learn the game and get in trim.
The sauad is working out regular
ly under the eyes of the coach and
Captain Hyda. Since the track in
the stadium is not in condition, the
men are using the Belmont cross
country course.
