For Opening Basketball
Work Out
FIVE LETTER MEN BACK
A squad of thirty-six candidates

initial basketball practice of the sea
son in the Armory yesterday after
noon including the five letter men
Beerkle, Smaha, Eekstrom, Andre
son, and Black.
The practice schedule announced
by Coach Bear? yesterday sets prac
tice daily at 4 to 6 each afternoon
with the exception of Saturday when
the squad wiil practice from 3 to 6.
Freshmen will practice from 6:30 to
8 every evening. Assisting Coach
Bears in training this yea.'s basket
ball squad are Owen Frank, who has
helped coach basketball for a num
ber of years and Dick Newman.
With the scheduling of a game
with the University of South Dakota
for December 18, work will start
in earnest in order to get the squad
in shape for the opening although
the regular schedule will not begin

expected to be completed in time for
the opening conference game.

it is anticipated that a good line can
be obtained on what to expect from
the team this year. Drill in funda
mentals and a weeding down of the
squad to a more workable size will
occupy the early part of the season.
The men reporting for the initial
practice yesterday were: Norling,
Hull, Eggert, Cass, Dana, Chaiken,
Gorelick, Rigglesbarger, Peterson,
Lawson, Beerkle, Elliott, Dwyer,

Ed Weir Is Presented
With Gold Football
Ed Weir, Nebraska's All-American
tackle, is wearing a gold foot
ball presented him recently by
George Holmes, First Trust Com
pany. On the football is mounted a
red and white enameled "N" at the
foot of an American eagle. Below
the 'N' is inscribed, "Walter
Camp's Ail-American, 1924." On
the back side of the football is
"First team, Ed Weir, Left Tackle,
University of Nebraska."
If a player leaves the circle before
the ball is tapped a technical foul is
called, and the regular penalty for
this offense is chalked up against the
player's team.
A personal foul is now charged
against any player who rushes in or
in any other way interefers with two
men who are jumping for the ball,
whether at center or elsewhere. A
penalty of one free throw is awarded
to the offended team in this case.
When players are in position to
jump for the ball they need not face
their respective goals, but they must
be placed in the same relationship to
their goals as their respective centers
stand when jumping at center.
The next article will explain sev
eral more changes in the rules of the
court sport.
Wrestling events and track meets
will also be planned, for all the Val
ley contestants. Baseball, swimming,
and golf contests have been abolished
at Nebraska.

Two Nebraska players were pick
ed on All-Amcrican teams by Davis
J. Walsh, International News Service
sports writer of New York. Ed
Weir was pluced on the first mythi
cal Ail-American team, and Harold
Hutchison on the second. The same
writer picked two other Missouri
Valley men, Lindenmeyer of Missouri
for tackle, and Sloane of Drake for
end.
Speaking of Ed Weir Walsh said:
"Oddly enough there are few out
standing figures among the forwards,
barring Weir of Nebraska and Brown
of Michigan. Both will come pretty
Aose to being unanimous choices for
the team this season, although some
have questioned the consistency of
Brown's passing at center. Weir,
howeVer, is foolproof.
"Weir is the great tackle of the
year, the others being merely good.
Lindenmeyer of Missouri probably
was the most consistent and the
writer places him on the first team,
although Chace of Pittsburgh is a
most highly esteemed individual..
Sprague of the Army, Parker of
Dartmouth, Erickson of Washington,
Wilcox of Oklahoma, Henderson of
Chicago, Nelson of Wisconsin, Lyons
of Amherst, Kearney of Cornell and
Sieracki of Pennsylvania was among
the leaders at the position, but the
quality of tackle play was not high
this year, on the whole."
Hutchison who was placed on the
second team was considered a close
rival of Brown of Michigan who was
given the honor. Of him Walsh
has this to say:
"Brown has two great rivals in
Hutchison oi Nebraska and McMil
lan of Princeton, and Lowry of
Northwestern is a third. Hutchison
and Weir are the men who stopped
"Red" Grange for two straight sea
sons, while McMillan's play against
Yale and Harvard was beautiful to
behold. It seems almost a misde
meanor to put him on third team."
Choppy Rhodes was another Ne
braska man whom Walsh considered
sound Ail-American material, 'who
failed just by a little of making the
grade in comparison with some of the
other outstanding players.
Weir, Rhodes, and Hutchison were
named on the first mythical All-Valley
team chosen by C. E. McBride,
sports editor of the Kansas City Star.
Scholz, Husker guard was selected
for a guard position on the second
team, Stiner, tackle and Presnell,
fullback, on the third All-Valley
team of the same writer.
McBride reversed the order of
tackles'as made by Walsh who Placed
Ed Weir ahead of Lindenmeyer of
Missouri. He jusltifies his choice
with the following exposition of Lin
denmeyer's prowess.
: "The greatest tackle Missouri ever
has had," said a critic of Linden
meyer. This powerful Tiger weighs
195, stands six feet, two, is fleet as
a deer and has starred in every game I
Missouri has played. "Bigger and
faster than Weir and just as aggres
sive, writes a valley coacn. wot
the Missouri coach, either.
" 'Big, aggressive, willing, a fair
punter and carries the ball well," is
the way another expert passes on
Lindenmeyer.'
Ed Weir in this writer's opinion
suffered from too much All-Ameri-can
publicity, and had the added
burden of being captain of the team
for two years. Being forced to punt
most of the season his spectacular
speed down field under punts was
missed.
"Nailing punt catchers in their
tracks was spectacular stuff, but
this season nearly all of Weir's
showy play has been in pass snatch
ing. But on the inside he has been
alert and aggressive all the way and
richly deserves his first team rating."
Of Hutchison at center, McBride
quotes one expert as saying "One

of the greatest players in the history
of Nebraska football," and goes on
to sny hismself:
"One of the greatest players in
the history of Nebraska football,"
writes ono expert in regard to Hutch
ison, the first team center. Only one
symptom of weakness is there in the
general all-around remarkable play
of Hutchison. That is a tendency to
pass inaccurately at times. He is a
192-pounder, backs up the line on
defense, is a wicked tackier and
diagnosing the play of opposition.
So (keen is this display on the scent
of the opposing offensive tactics that
occasionally other coaches have be
lieved Nebraska had their signals."
Words of praise are given for
Rhodes by the same writer who de
votes the following long paragraph
Beginning his career three years
ago as an end, John "Choppy"
Rhodes has been one of the most
consistent, stars of Nebraska foot
ball. Never since the first game in
which he was eligible has Rhodes
failed to star. Until this season he
has borne the brunt of Nebraska'u
rushing attack. As a driving, plung
ing back, the Valley conference in
11 its history has numbered few
better ones. From powerful lines
this driving power is generated. Like
Jackson of Missouri, Choppy Rhodes
is good for three or four yards when
ever that distance is needed.
