HDSKERS REST
FOR BULLDOGS
Monday Football Practice It
Light but Squad Pro
pares for Drake'
MENTAL WORK ON SLATE
Monday was more or less a day of
rest for the Cornhuskers football
team, as Is customary, and the grid
sters went through a light practice.
Coming: out of the Oklahoma frame
with laurels of wel-earned victory
and with but one injury, the Huskers
merely kept In training: yesterday.
The practice, however, was only
physically light Coach Bearg de-
livered oration after oration to his
proteges and pumped them full of in
formation of every kind. ""Iire
elevens were running signalf d
Coach Bearg gave them a gc n. 1
of his attention to the second and
third squads.
Three games are left on the Neb
raska schedule contests with Drake,
Kansas Aggies and Notre Dame.
The Huskers this week are in pre
paration for a stiff battle Saturday
at Des Moines. Statistics of Drake
games this season prove that the
Bulldogs have an aggressive eleven
which will form a formidable bar
rier for the Nebraska team to hurdle.
Drake Won Last Saturday
Drake defeated the Kansas Jay
hawkers last Saturday, leaving a
win mark not only in the touchdown
column but in the yardage and downs
column as well. Nebraska coaches
who scouted the game report a very
flashy team with plenty of go.
The loss of Glen Presnell for the
present will bother the Cornhuskers
a little. It is probable that he will
not get into the Drake game. The
flashy sophomore received a muscle
bruise in Saturday's contest which
sent him from the scrap and is now
keeping his out of the game tempor
arily. Dr. Oliver W. Everett, team phy
sician, says that Presnell has a bad
bruise but may be able to get into
the game Saturday. The hurt is not
serious enough to keep him out for
long, the physician says.
Stephens Back in Suit
Bob Stephens was back in suit
yesterday and was holding down the
quarterback position as usual. It is
evident that Stephens has lost some
of his form during his absence
caused by a leg injury, but he is
sure to regain it soon.
If Stephens is quite all right by
Saturday, Presnell's loss will not be
noticed so much. Brown can be
shifted to half-back, as he was at the
beginning of the season, and the
backfield will still have plenty of
drive. And more there will be a
marked rise in the forward-passing
stock with the addition of Stephens
Missouri is out in front in the Mis
souri Valley race. Using the per
centage system, Nebraska comes
third after Drake. Using real fig
uring, however, in the form of the
Prank G. Dickinson system, Nebraska
rates second and Drake third.
The Dickinson sytem of rating has
been explained and sport followers
are adopting it as the true solution
to figuring standings in conferences
where teams do not meet all of the
conference members. It is a scien
tific system for determining the
stronger teams.
Drake is ouB to win for more rea
sons than one. It would be especi
ally delightful to tin Bulldogs to
FRESHQEti WORK OH
DRAKB JLINE SHIFT
First Year Men Battle Against Each
Other to Perfect Iowa
School's Plar .
About thirty freshmen were all
that reported for football practice
Monday afprnoon. The afternoon
was spent in learning the Drake plays
which were much on the same order
of those that have already been
taught the first-year men. The plays
consist of the line shift from which
offtackle plays, lino smashes and
forward passes are worked. Drake
also uses the huddle Bystom which is
similar to the one Nebraska used the
first part of the season.
The freshmen were divided into
two teams, both running signals. The
first team backfield was composed
of Busby, Ayres, Wyatt, Beck and
Marrow. After a two hours of sig
nal practice the two teams were
pitted against each other in a short
scrimmage, in which the first team
did most of the offensive work to
get them better acquainted with the
Drake plays. The second stringers
put up a stubborn defense. This
week the freshmen will be taken to
Drake.
NEBRASKA IS SECOND
IN MISSOURI VALLEY
(Continued from Page One.)
the Valley teams are rated. Their
total points are divided by the num
ber of conference games played, and
the number resulting is that team s
index number. And so it goes.
Nebraska Placed Above Drake
The ratings to date place Nebraska
above Drake in spite of the fact that
the Husker percentage is lower than
that of Drake. Drake loses second
place in this week's ratings because
mainly, of its defeat by Oklahoma,
a second division team. And while
Nebraska and Ames have the same
percentage, Ames rates only fourth
place, due to its defeat by Missouri.
In the same manner Oklahoma this
week is in fifth place in front of the
Oklahoma and Kansas Aggie teams,
both of whom have higher percent
ages than the Sooners. But Okla
homa defeated Drake, a first division
team, and so has a higher index
number, if not a higher percentage.
And in this system it is the index that
counts.
Prof. Dickinson has originated a
system of rating which bids fair to
become recognized as official all over
the country. Sports writers and
coaches from coast to coast have al
ready commended it as the only sci
entific manner of rating.
Prof. Dickinson links up the vari
ous sections of the country in much
the same manner is he does the indi
vidual teams, and so rates the nation
al champion.
DRAKE GAME TO
DEDICATE BOWL
Nebraska to Resume Relations
With Iowa School in
Saturday Contest
DRAKE HAS WON ONCE
DES MOINES, la., Nov. 2. Re
suming athletic relations in foot
ball, severed since before the war,
the University of Nebraska eleven
will oppose Drake in the new Bulldog
bowl here November 7 on the occa
sion of the official dedicatory exercises.
In meetings over a twenty-seven
year period the Cornhuskers hold the
edire. having won every gridiron
engagement except one from Drake.
In 1898. the first year the two
teams contested, Drake was returned
a close victor, 6 to 6. The next year
saw Nebraska victorious, 12 to 6.
Two years later, the Huskers again
trimmefl the Bulldogs, 8 to 0.
No game was played again until
1906 when the Nebraskans scored
their third successive gridiron vic
tory, 6-0. A lapse of nine years oc
curred before the Huskers and Bull
dogs clashed again, and when the
two did meet, the Nebraska eleven
was an easy winner, 48 to 13.
The year following was also a Ne
braska season, for the Huskers over
whelmed Drake, 53 to 0.
Since then, the two members of
the Missouri Valley conference have
never met. Coach Ossie Solem who
came to Drake as football mentor in
the fall of 1921, therefore, holds the
distinction, if it can be called one,
of never having one of his football
teams engage a Nebraska eleven.
Followers of Drake and supporters
of the Solem system of coaching will
watch with interest the outcome of
the contest here Saturday.
Agate Display in Museum
Wesley R. Porter of the Montana
Agate Company, Billings, Montana,
has sent an exhibit of the way in
which rough agate is cut and pre
pared to Prof. E. F. Schramh, depart
ment of geology, for display in the
University Museum. It includes the
specimens of agate in each stage of
the process with an explanation of
the manner in which the work is
done.
Columbus Claims Most
Loyal of Women Fans
For Cornhusker Eleven
COLUMBUS, Nebr., Nov. 2.
Columbus claims one of the most en
thusiastic women football fans in the
state of Nebraska. She is Mrs. A.
M. Gray, owner of tne Thurston Ho
tel here.
Mm. Grav attends all of the games
played by the local high school, and
since the Nebraska Memorial btaa
Inm whs oDcnea at Lincoln in the fall
of 1923 she has not missed a single
game the Cornhuskers have played
at Lincoln.
Piling in as many of her own
family and friends as the capacity of
the car will allow, Mrs. Gray has
trekked the road to Lincoln, in fair
weather and foul, to see the Corn
huskers battle every foe they have
met on the home field in the last
three years, and she has followed the
Columbus eleven on all its trips this
season.
"Oh, I find it an enjoyable way to
take my vacation," Mrs. Gray said.
Arthur "Shorty" Gray, son of Mrs.
Gray, is a former student oi tne
University, and usually accompanies
his mother to Lincoln.
Oregon Rooter Dies
A fatal accident occurred at the
California-Oregon football game at
Portland last Saturday when Al Gobs,
a junior at the Oregon institution,
fell 100 feet from the roof of the
grandstand just before the start of
the game. He was one of the stu
dents selected to aid in bleacher
stunts. When news of his death
reached the field, all of the special
stunts were called off.
