T II E DAILY NF, BRAS KAN VARSITY SHOWS HEELS TO SUBS All Doubt Dispelled as to Whether These Two Will Be Seen on Gridiron Regulars Do Their Stuff Approved Form In Fast Scrimmage. In LOCKE AND RHODES STAR First Onen Practice of Seaiton To Be Held Saturday When Var-' sit; and Freshmen Mix. It was only a little over a week ago that football practice began, but Coach E. E. Beargr has gotten the Varsity men into shape so well that yesterday afternoon they romped all over the reserves in a fast scrim mage that was the real thing. The hard work on fundamentals which was on the program in every practice until yesterday has made ' for machine-like performance in the first string. Yesterday's scrimmage was not confined to any one department of the game. Working on defense, and later on offense, the regulars showed stuff which gladdened the hearts of the fans who lined the roofs of cars outside the fence. On the defensive, the first string held the seconds to leAa thau fifteen yards of gain in twenty downs. Locke Shows Hia Speed. It was onthe attack that the regu lar lineup showed marked profici ency. Roland Locke started the noise early in the scrimmage when he broke through the line and ran nearly the length of the field for the first touchdown. He showed some good broken-field running. After a successful kick by "Jug" Brown the first string was placed on the twenty yard line and told to go. In one or two downs when no large gain was made, Roy Mandery snag ged a short pass and traversed the field for another scVre. "Choppy" Rhodes broke up the de fense on a line play and raced back across the field for a third score. The scrimmage lasted until sunset, and left a feeling in the onlookers that something would be done this season. Speed or Weight. The team which will carry Corn husker colors will be somewhat light, as last year. What is lacking in weight will be made up in speed, however. Whether speed can off set weight is the question, of course. Bob Stephens, playing first string quarterback, is fast. lie broke through several times for gains of fifteen yards. "Jug" Brown is fast; and Choppy Rhodes and Roland Locke, making up the remainder of the "regular" backficld, are already known for their speed. Coach Bearg's lack of backfield material is still evident, although o y '.'fc..'. k .1 i. 4 - 1 A ! Joe Woatonpal Doubt as to whether two Nebraska veterans would play was dispelled early this week when Joe Westoupal was declared eligible by authorities and Roland Locke donned the mole skins for good. Locke was undecided as to football, considering staying out of the game in favor of track. He made his de cision last week and has been in the regular lineup since. Roland Locke Joe Westoupal played center last year in the absence of Harold Hutch inson, and filled the place well. This year Joe has been playing guard on the first string, and alternating on the second string at the center posi tion. Joe's ability as a roving center will be remembered from last year and at guard he should land a regu lar berth. several men are developing who will be heard from this fall. Oehlrich, Du Teau, Dailey, and Presnell are making up the backfield of the sec ond team and usually get into play with the regulars. Dailey was the chief ground gainer for the seconds during the short time that they played on the offensive. Oehlrich also showed some stuff, and Du Teau as a signal-caller is work ing well in the harness. Nebraska fans will have their first opportunity to see the 1925 Huskers in action Saturday afternoon when the Varsity lines up against the freshmen in the annual game. It will be the first open practice. A new four-manual pipe-organ has just been installed in the School of Music of the University of Wisconsin. Wisconsin was the only Mid-West University entering a team in the inter-collegiate winter sports meet at Lake Placid, N. Y., this year. BIG FRESHMAN SQUAD AT K. U. Nearly One Hundred Fint Year Men Working Out Under Coach Bunn. LAWRENCE, Kans., Sept 23. Almost 100 members of the freshman class at the University of Kansas an swered the call for football practice this year, and ninety-six of them are ! now being given preliminary work-, outs under the direction of John Bunn, freshman coach. The freshman material this year! is unusually light, averaging a trifle j under 160 pounds, and there is a scarcity of line material, Coach Bunn says. They are, however, putting in several hours each 'evening in prac tice, and from the available material Coach Bunn will select a freshman team that will give the Varsity some good training during the football season. A summary of the freshman ma terial indicates that more rrun arc out f.or backfield positions than for any other place. There are thirty five candidates for the backfield, twenty-one for the ends,' and forty for other line positions. ILLINOIS SQUAD CUT BY ZUPPKE Veteran Coach Trims Squad for Intensive Work lllini Have Plenty of Beef. URBANA, 111., Sept. 23.

The total weight of the forty-one line candi dates is 3,110 pounds, an average per man of 163 2-3, while the total weiigiht of the forty-one line candi dates is 7,426, an average of 181 1-8 pounds. There is a variance of nearly 100 pounds between the weights of the lightest and heaviest man on the squad, C. V. Major of Champaign, a first-year man, carrying off the light-weight honors at 142 pounds, while M. H. Mitterwallner of Los Angeles, Cal., has the heavy-weight record at 240 pounds. lllini Loose Five Veterans.

The practice game with the fresh man in the stadium Saturday after noon will bo open to everyone ana will be the first opportunity that Cornhusker fans have had to see what sort of a team Bearg is develop ing.
