    HOSKERS PLAY
PASSING GAME
Freshmen Create Atmosphere
of Regular Football Came;
Make Long Gains.
FLASHES OF POWER
SHOWN BY VARSITY
Amid much criticism and very lit
tle praise from the coaching staff,
the Huskers went through a rather
listless practice Wednesday evening,
three days before the game with Col
gate. Much work and much profanity has
been expended in an effort to devel
op the Huskers into a team that
knows something of passing both
offensively and defensively but so
far not much progress has been
made.
The freshmen were called upon to
create for the Varsity the general at
mosphere of a football game, and
succeeded so well that they twice car
ried the ball almost the length of the
field.
The Varsity shows flashes of of
fensive power, but only flashes, and
flashes do not win football games,
as was so thoroughly demonstrated
last Saturday at Oklahoma.
Almost every man on the Varsity
Squad was in the scrimmage at one
time or another during the after-
coon's practice. Bloodgood was at
quarterback again while Kamrn tooK
a turn calling signals later in the
day.
FRESHMEN CHANGE
TO LINE PLUNGING
New Style of Play Planned for
Practice Against Varsity
Warriors.
The freshman football squad has
been put through an intensive sig
nal practice this week, line plunges,
off-tackle smashes, and runs and for
ward passes being on the program. A
little more stress has been laid on
line-plunging. The fact that Okla
homa plowed through the Varsity line
last Saturday is the reason for the
change of program. The freshmen
will scrimmage with the Varsity this
week and should help to strengthen
the Cornhusker line for the Colgate
game. ,

The new medical building at the
College was given by Samuel Mather,
a Cleveland citizen, and dedicated
October 9. In addition to this, the
report states, Western Reserve is
said to still have intact the $12,000,
000 endowment given by the found
ers when it was moved to Cleveland

Former Students Are
Working at Herbarium
Dr. and Mrs. F. E. Clements of the
Carnegie Institution at Washington
are here working with the university
herbarium in Bessey Hall. Dr. Clem
ents and Dr. Weaver of the ecology
department have just sent to press
a publication on "Experimental Veg
etation." Both Dr. and Mrs. Clem
ents are former university students.
Foreigners Ask For
Latimer's Pamphlet
Dr. Latimer of the Anatomy de
partment has received requests for
reprints of his paper on "The Growth
of Chickens" from Dr. W. Branch
of the University of Freiburg, Ger
many; from Professor Casteldi of the
University of Florence, Italy; from
the University of California, the Uni
versity of Kentucky, and Storrs Ag
ricultural laboratory of Connecticut.
Bessey Found Lincoln
Hub of Universe
Lincoln is practically in the very
center of the United States.
Dr. Charles E. Bessey, for whom
Bessey Hall is named, many years
ago performed an interesting experi
ment to prove this. He took a piece
of cardboard as uniform in dimen
sions as he could make it. On this
he laid the map of the United State3
plus Alaska, and balanced the card
board on a needle point. He found
that the needle came within five
miles of Lincoln.
Turning to his friends who were
watching the outcome of his experi
ment, among whom was Dr. E. R.
Walker of the Botany department, he
laughed and said, "Boston is not th'j
hub of the universe we are."
With the defeat of the Nebraska
Cornhuskers at the hands of the Ok
lahoma Indians featuring the Valley
grid play last week, the Sooners step
ped into the calcium glare with Mis
souri and the Ames Aggies as most
likely winners of the conference title
for the coming season. Nebraska
lost her fifth football contest to a
Voiinv ilvn since the loop was or
ganized in 1907, last Saturday, and
that reverse came as a total surprise
tn Husker followers as well as en
thusiasts throughout the entire circle.
Some scribes look upon the al
ley race as anybody's following the
Sooner win. Oklahoma, Ames Ag
gies and Grinnell have all played and
won one game in the conference
while Missouri continues to loom as a
contender due to her exhibitions
against Chicago and Missouri Wes
leyan. Drake must also be given rat
ing having piled up more scores to
date than any other Valley combi
nation and having defeated both
Utah and Knox by large counts.
Last week Kansas dropped out of
the running early in the race for the
first time in years. The Ames Aggies
copped the decision from the Jay
hawks in the third quarter of their
close tussel. Grinnell handed Wash
ington a coat of whitewash on the
Iowa field while the Kansas Aggies
trimmed Emporia Normal, 19 to 6.
This week, Valley teams will again
be seen eliminating each other with
tough trio of games being booked.
Either mix may well be considered
the outstanding with the Kansas Ag
gies entering the Valley compet for
the first time this season against
Kansas, and Missouri meeting Ames
Aggies, and Grinnell locking horns
with Drake. The latter four elev
ens have yet to taste defeat. Com
oarative strengths of the conference
teams will be brought out during the
Saturday tests.
The Missouri-Ames twist will pro
bably have the greatest effect on the
Valley standings since Ames has ai
res dv downed Kansas. Missouri
started out strong against Chicago
winning a close 3-to-0 game while
Ames has a strong aggregation from
earlv season showings. Since Mis
souri is the next Valley opponent for
Nebraska local followers will likely
have their attention on the outcome
of this Tiger battle.
