PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR BASKETEERS
Pony Team Goes Twenty-five
Minutes Without Being
Scored Against.
MAY PRACTICE DAILY
DURING VACATION
Basketball prospects are brighten
ing day by day and with every prac
tice, new and undiscovered features
are revealed in the workouts, new
stars are discovered and given their
chance.
In one otthe workouts this week,
the pony team went twenty-five min
utes in stiff scrimmages without
having a basket scored against them.
The scrimmage was held against
three different squads but none of
them were able to penetrate the stiff
defense. The pony team consists of
Captain Usher and Cozier, forwards,
Black center, Volz and Tipton at
guards. While the oppositions were
striving desperately to connect for
a counter, the pony combination was
droping them in from all' angles
The attack was led by Captain Usher
and Cozier.
To Have Strong Defense.
With results such as these obtained
so early in the season it leads an on
looker to believe that a real defens
ive team will be representing Ne
braska this year. With basket shoot
ers such as those already mentioned
along with Goodson, Andrews, Olds,
Schroeders and many others, the
Cornhusker squad will be one that
will be ready to take on any comers.
It is believed that scrimmage will
be staged daily throughout Christ
mas vacation, and if this belief ma
tures, the cagesters will be in mid
season form for their first Valley
game which comes on the eve of
January 5 in the Armory against the
Tigers from the Show-Me state.
A number of football men have re
ported to Coach Kline for basket
service. They are Westoupal, Hubka,
McGlasson, R. Dewitz, Rhodes, Volz,
Goodson and Hill. All of these can
didates are in condition and some of
them are making strong bids for
berths.
The exact time for scrimmage
with the freshmen has not been set
tled as the frosh have had but a few
days for scrimmage. Coach Frank
will have the yearlings in shape to
battle the varsity before long.
season, with Colgate, at Lincoln.
The Colgate team ranks high in the
East, being the only team to defeat
Syracuse the past season. The game
yill be one of the few big intersec
tional contests of the year.
Play Kansas at Lawrence.
The week after meeting Colgate,
the team will again be on foreign
grounds playing Kansas at Law
rence. Missouri will be at Lincoln
the week following. No game has
been scheduled for Nov. 8 and this
date will probably bo left open to
give the Husker mentors plenty of
time to prepare for Nebraska's tra
ditional foes, Notre Dame. The
Notre Dame game will be played at
bouth Bend and will easily rank as
one of the best if not the very best
game of the whole season.
Following their return from South
Bend the team will again be away
from home, meeting the Kansas
Aggies at Manhattan.
A Thanksgiving day game has not
been arranged but will probably be
played at Lincoln. A game with the
University of Southern California
is being much talked of and the of
ficials of the western school seem
quite favorable toward such a game,
The whole seasons' schedule re
flects thegrowing importance of foot
ball at the University. The schedule
is even more strenuous than that
which Rockne's Irish tried this year.
The 1924 schedule drops Ames and
Syracuse, and adds Colgate and the
team which will play here Thanks
giving day. A game with Drake
University of Des Moines could not
arranged as they could not be fitted
into the Husker's schedule. If such
a game could be arranged it would
be a source of much satisfaction in
Valley circles.
from last year's squad, is knocking
em over in the 125 and 135 pound
classes. He will probably train down
to 125 before the season begins.
Coach Clapp wants still more fel
lows to come out for wrestling. This
will be a great wrestling year. The
wrestlers meet every Monday, Wed
nesday and Friday afternoon in the
west end of the Armory.
There are several freshmen who
almost made their numerals last
year and who, with a little more
coaching and better training, can un
doubtedly make the team this year.
The coaches want all of them to re
port for practice.
HUSKERS HAVE HARD
SCHEDULE TO MEET
Have Not Yet Contracted for
Thanksgiving Game; May
Play Coast Team.
A glimpse at the Cornhusket's
1924 football schedule shows it to
be one of the best that the Univer
sity has ever undertaken. Three of
the major elevens of the country are
already on the schedule and another
big game is yet to be arranged.
The schedule to date is:
Oct. 4 Illinois at Lincoln.
Oct. 11 Oklahoma at Norman.
Oct 18 Colgate at Lincoln.
Oct. 25 Kansas at Lawrence.
Nov. 1 Missouri at Lincoln.
Nov. 25 Notre Dame at South Bend
Nov. 22 Kansas Ag at Manhattan.
Nov. 29 No game scheduled.
llUmiA Team Is Opener.
Opening the season with Illinois
at Lincoln, the Huskers will have
one of their hardest games of the
season. The Illinois team, this
v-ear's Biz Ten champions, rated as
one of the nation's best teams, lost
very few of this year's veterans. Ne
braskan fans will be given a chance
to see Harold "Red" Grange in ac
tion and to compare him with the
Nebraska backs.
Following the Illinois fray the
Hnskers journey to Norman where
they meet the University of Okla
homa. The Sooners always Have a
strong team and should furnish the
proper kind of game to prepare tne
Huskers for their third tussle of the

From forty-five to fifty candidates
for the wresthne team have an

Competition is becoming keen as the
number of men in each of the seven
weights increases. With only one
letter man in the race there will be
a number of new letter men by the
close of the season.
The 145 and 158 pound class is at
present attracting the most attention.
since the competition in these classes
is the keenest. Lundy, who made
his numeral , in wrestling last year
as a freshman, is making a strong bid
for representing the 158 pound class
if he can train down to that weight.
Otherwise he will enter in the 175
pound class. Two football men, Ber-
quist and Robertson are training for
the 175 pound class and will prove
mountains of strength in this class.

FRESHMAN TOSSERS
SHAPING UP WELL
Coach Owen Frank Expects to
Develop Strongest Squad
in Years.
Although most eyes are focused on
Coach Kline and his varsity basket
ball proteges, the freshmen candi
dates under the tutelege of Coach
Owen Frank are not to be over
looked. The frosh mentor expects
to develop one of the strongest first
year quintets that ever reprecented
the University during the next few
months. ' With seventy-five cage en
thusiasts turning out at every prac
tice everything points towards
strong team.
The initial scrimmage of the year
for the freshmen was held last eve
ning in the Armory. Some clever
passing and hoop work was exhibited.
Scanning the personnel of the
freshmen cagesters, everal former
nign scnooi stars are seen, inciuu
ing five Class A performers. Many
other courtmen are known to be en
rolled in school and are urged by
the freshmen coach to turn out for
early practice. Of those who have
already reported Gil Reynolds, cap
tain of the Omaha Central hoopmen
last season, Russ Gibbs of Bayard,
Ed Cunningham of Wahoo, Haith of
Pine Bluffs,' Wyo.f Holmes of Clarke
School, Hanover, N. H., and Miller
of St. Johns seem to loom up as the
most promising. One of the prom
ising candidates for the frosh pivot
post is Ford of Cathedral high, Lin
coln. Clarke of Columbus, Hughes of
Omaha Central, Thompson of Tilden,
Haskett of Milford, McManigal of
Gleenwood, Swanson of Holdrege and
Anderson, former Graceland artists,
for the freshmen due to the Missouri
Valley athletic rulings and the only
contests slated are against varsity.
