ONLY TWO GAMES LOST
Pittsburg and Missouri Able
To Win; leam uea vauey
In Points Scored
By Jack Elliott
The scarlet-clad Cornhusker foot
ball team just closed one of the
most successful seasons on the grid
iron in many years. The Nebraska
eleven piled op more points during
the season than any other Missouri
VaRey team and held their oppon
ents to the lowest score among the
conference elevens.
Although the Huskers finished in
second place in the Valley they were
rated by critics all over the country
to be the strongest eleven in the
Valley conference and Middle West.
It was Nebraska's last year in the
Valley for next year will find the
Huskers playing in the newly formed
Big Six conference.
Iowa Drop Opener
The season started with a win
when the Iowa State Cyclones treked
down to the Husker stronghold to
open the season. The Nebraska
eleven was doped to beat the Iowans
badly but the Workman crew from
Ames threw a big surprise and held
tho Xebraskans to but six points.
In this rpening g?se the Beargmen
could r.r.t get started in the old Hus
ker stylo and the playing was loose
and ratfgcJ.
Next week-end found Nebraska
invading the lair of the Missouri
Tiger. The Tiger eleven had beaten
Nebraska for two years and the
Scarlet-clad eleven was out for re
venge. It was Missouri's Home
coming battle and the Tiger eleven
fought until the last inch of ground
had been gained and the referee's
whistle closed the game with Mizzou
leading by one point.
Crinnell Stingingly Defeated
Still stinging with the bitter de
feat at the hands of Gwinn Henry's
crew, the Huskers pulled together
for the third Valley game of the
season, GrinnelL The Pioneers
proved to be easy pickings for the
Beargmen and a 58 to 0 score was
piled up before the referee ended
th massacre. This was the largest
football score in the conference all

Pioneer goal line four times during 333 North 14 street, from 5 to 6

Captain John "Jug" Brown was at

position of quarterback. "Jug"
came to Nebraska from Lincoln high
where ha starred on the ;li school

Coach Bearg, "Jug" developed into

To Coach Ernest E. Bearg, Corn

dreams of victorious Nebraska foot
ball teams have inspired into his
men the highest degree of clean
sportsmanship, hard nlavimr and
Cornhusker fight. And to the Corn-
husker football squad of 1928 which
has just closed a sucessful season,
we dedicate this special football
edition.

Prospects for 1928 Season
Look Bright Despite
Fourteen Grads
TEAM LOSES FAST ENDS
Nebraska loses fourteen gridiron
warriors by graduation this year but
with the men returning to school
next fall and the coming sophomores
from "Choppy" Rhodes' freshmen
team this year, Coach Bearg will
have a host of good material from
which to build his 1928 Cornhusker
gridiron eleven.
Some of the best men ever turned
out at the Husker school leave the
fold this year. Such men as Glenn
Presnell, Oehlrich, Captain "Jug"
Brown, Randefs and many 'others
graduate in the spring, after their
three years on the Scarlet eleven.
But with such ball luggers as Clair
Sloan, "Bud" McBride, Farley, and
Witte to take the places of these
graduating veterans, the Nebraska
coaching staff will attempt to put a
winning team on the field for the
initial season in the Big Six.
Scherer Had Good Ends
In the line the Cornhusker foot
ball mentor will have Cliff Ashburn,
Lewandowski and Still from this
year's squad and a host of promising
freshmen for the wing positions.
The graduation of Lee, Lawson,
Sprague, Shaner and L'ndell hits the
Husker camp the hardest in the line.
This season Coach Leo Scherer had a
fine array of wing-men and from the
outlook of things the scarlet clad

She illustrated her point with one

of Vermont. She had never been

problems of a millionaire's wife. The

Athletic Board
Has Developed
Sports Program
The athletic board of control at
the University of Nebraska serves
as a supervising body for all the
matters that are concerned with "Ne
braska athletics. Under its super
vision comes all competition with
othPr institutions in the Missouri
Valley or outside the conference.
A complete system of intra-mural
sports has been instituted at Ne
braska that rivals those of some of
the best colleges or universities of
the country. By this program of intra-mural
sports, men at the Univer
sity that are not Varsity material
can participate in all sports.
Last year one of the most success
ful intra-mural basketball tourna
ments was held on the floor of the
Coliseum and again this year an
other cage tournament is being held.
Last year's tournament among the
Greeks was the most successful bas
ketball meet ever held at the Hus
ker school.
Eight Make Up Board
The hoard is mflde up of eight
members. John K. Selleck is sec
retary and treasurer and also busi
ness manager of Nebraska athletics.
He has complete financial control of
all athletic divisions. Other mem
bers of the board of control are;
Professor R. D. Scott, Herbert D.
G'sh, L. F. Seaton, John Gunderson,
Max Towle, T. J. Thompson and one
Nebraska alumnus.

Development
Aside from putting Nebraska on
the map as one of the greatest ath
letic producing institutions in the
country, Cornhusker football has
made possible a large inter-fraternity
program, which has been con
tinually growing for the past few
years, giving an increasing number
of students a chance to participate
in athletics.
In addition to fraternity athletics,
a large non-fraternity program has
been planned, and several leagues
have been established. A system
of requiring that each military
science student answer questions re
lative to previous athletic experience
has worked very successsfully in in
teresting a large number in sports.

Entertainment, in addition to

it is considered a better place, as it

Cooperation of fraternities has
been given to the banquet, and all
fraternity houses will have closed
