REPORT NEGOTIATIONS
WITH WESTERN SCHOOL
But one date remains open on Ne
braska's 1925 football schedule after
negotiations with Missouri Valley
officials at Kansas City last week.
The meeting resulted in the booking
of five Valley opponents, as well as
Illinois and Notre Dame.
The home schedule will surpass
that of the 1924 season in many
ways. Three games are booked
far, and the one open date, October
17, will provide another home game.
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Notre Dame
will play at Lincoln, the latter on
Thanksgiving in a windup of the
season. The schedule so far com
pleted: October 3 Illinois at Urbana.
October 10 Missouri at Columbia
October 24 Kansas at Lincoln.
October 31 Oklahoma at Lincoln.
November 7 Drake at Des Moines
November 14 Kansas Aggies at
Manhattan.
November 20 Notre Dame at Lin
coln. Resumption of relations with
Drake will feature the Valley sched
ule. It will be the first game with
the Bulldogs since October 7, 1916,
when the Cornhuskers crushed Drake
by a score of 53-0.
The season will open with the tilt
with Illinois at Urbana. Zuppke's
men, who natched a 9-6 victory from
Nebraska this year, will open their
season with the Cornhusker game
also. The Homecoming game at Ne
braska is to be the Kansas scrap,
October 24.
The one open date on the card is
being angled for by several univer
sities. Although no decision has been
made it is reported that the oppo
nent on October 17 will probably be
a large western university, the game
to be played at Lincoln.
Ed Weir, Nebraska captain and
tackle during the past football Bea
con, has been placed on another all
American team. Norman E. Brown,
an eastern sport critic, placed him
at tackle with Starobin of Syracuse.
Brown, in the case of two or three
positions takes pains to state that
he had difficulty in picking the man.
He makes no such comments about
the tackle position, which would indi
cate that there is no doubt in his
mind but that Weir is one of the two
outstanding tackles in the country.
In putting Weir on his all-Western
team, Walter Eckersall made some
remarks of interest to Husker fol
lowers. Eckersall's comment, which
appeared in the Chicago Tribune is:
"Ed Weir, who captained the Ne
braska eleven to a successful season,
H placed at left-tackle without hesi
tation. He is the outstanding player
in the Missouri Valley conference
and recognized by nearly all as one
of the leading linemen in the coun
try. He is aggressive. He is hard to
box and, above all, he drives so hard
that it was not an uncommon sight to
see him smear plays "before they got
under way. This was especially true
of the Illinois and Notre Dame
games.
"On kicks, he was down the field
with the ends and seldom failed to
rush the forward-passer. He was a
natural leader, a gentleman on the
field, and a most important factor in
the success of Coach Fred Dawson's
eleven this fall. In fact, Nebraska
has a habit of producing splendid
tackles and Weir's name must be ad
ded to those who have already helped
to make Cornhusker football his
tory."

Ten Years Ago
SAYS HUSKERS
LACK LEADERS
Former Governor Neville De
clares Present Athletic
System Deplorable.
THINKS IT DOES NOT
DEVELOP PROFICIENCY
Twenty Years Ago
A large framed picture of Dr.
Charles E. Bessey had been hung in
the chief's office of the National
Bureau of Plant Industry. Dr. Bessey
was the first of the great botanists
of the world to be thus honored.
in a letter written by the regis
trar, who was a member of the Ne
braska State Commission at the St.
Louis Exposition, the work of the
University of Nebraska in preparing
exhibits for the Nebraska pavilion
was commended. Two-thirds of the
employees in that section were chos
en from the University, while several
professors received prizes for the
work they had done. Especially
fine showings had been made by the
College of Agriculture, School of
Fine Arts, and the department of
geology . The collections of the
museum also received favorable notice.
Declaring that lack of proper lead
ership is the cause of "present condi
tions existing at Nebraska," Keith
Neville, former governor and gradu
ate of the University, in a letter pub
lished yesterday in Lincoln and Om
aha papers, deplores the present sys
tem as one "which does not develop
the highest degree of proficiency in
the teams."
Mr. Neville declares himself a loyal
friend of the University and is "won
dering what can be the matter with
the athletics of that institution." His
letter takes up what are in his opin
ion faults in the management of the
teams. "In the past two years," says
the letter, "the forward passing game
of Nebraska teams has been virtually
negligible."
Scores Election.
Scoring the election of captain of
the 1925 team, he says, "This year we
have again the annual trouble. I be
lieve there was a mistake in allow
ing an athletic board to elect the cap
tain. If the men of a team can not
be trusted to elect their own captain
they can not be trusted to give their
best on the football fir1 1.
"Many graduates a. ' loyal friends
of the University of Nebraska are
wondering what can be the matter
with the athletics of that institution.
As a friend of the university who has
followed athletics, I will submit my
views for what they are worth in the
hopes that they may develop a discus
sion that will be helpful to the situ
ation there.
Needs Leadership.
"In my opinion there are two
things the matter with Nebraska ath
letics. First, a lack of leadership on
the part of those who have athletics
in charge. Second, a football sys
tem which does not develop the high
est proficiency in the teams. Those
who have witnessed football games at
Nebraska in the past few years must
concede that the Nebraska lines have
been aggressive and well coached.
This year the trouble with the line
was a lack of material, but it is also
true that in the past two' years the
forward passing game of Nebraska
has been virtually negligible at least
In the six games that I have wit
nessed."
In speaking of the election of cap
tain for 1925, Mr. Neville says:
"The selection of a captain by the
athletic board was in my judgment a
mistake, and I now predict that any
system devised by the athletic board
which takes away from the team men
the right to elect their captain will
fail. The right of the letter men of
football team to elect their cap
tain has become by custom inherent."
Answers Question.
Answering the question, "Why is
it such conditions exist at Nebraska?"
Mr. Neville's letter states:
"It is because there are no tradi
tions to inspire the student body and
those who participate ia athletics?
No! The traditions at Nebraska are
a glorious page in the history of col
leges.
"Is it because the young men and
women who comprise the student
body are inferior to those who at
tend other similar institutions in
school loyalty and moral stamina
Never! The young men and women
of Nebraska, who will control the
destinies of our state in a short time,
are the equal, if not the peer, in these
particulars of those who attend any
similar institution.
"Why is it then that this canker
exists at Nebraska? There can be
but one answer. It is because there
is a woeful lack of leadership on the
part of those who have athletics in
charge. What Nebraska needs is not
new systems of selecting captains,
but leaders in athletics."
KEITH NEVILLE.
"Muffs, handkerchiefs, and even
petticoats take mysterious flight the
instant the owner's back is turned
while pocketbooks must be concealed
is the way conditions in the women's
gymnasium were described. In form
er years it had been safe to assume
that an article would be secure while
the owner was present, but that year
it proved not to be so.
The complete basketball schedule
had been arranged. The Cornhuskers
were to play Company G of Fort
Dodge, Hamline College, Minnesota,
Iowa State, Kansas Aggies, Kansas,
Nebraska Wesleyan, and Drake. Sev
eral games were scheduled with the
Wesleyan quintet, 'and two with
Drake.
