SINGLE DEFEAT IS MET
Bearg Quits Nebraska After
Three Years; Has Put Out
Strong Squads
.Nebraska's football coaching
staff turned out one of the greatest
rjornnusker football teams this
year that has ever represented Ne
braska on the gridiron. Coached
by Ernest E. Bearg, the Scarlet
'squad went thru a hard schedule of
nine games, losing but one, and
winning the Big Six conference
. football title.
Winning the Big Six was out
standing by virtue of the fnct that
Xebraska had not won a football
chaniplonsh'P since 1924 nnd had
not beaten their ancient and honor
able rivals, the Missouri Tigers,
glnre that same year. This season
Coach Bearg and his staff of assist
ant coaches turned in both. Mis
souri was defeated In a 24 to 0
tame before a huge crowd of home
coming fans, virtually clinching the
title for the mighty Cornhuuker
eleven. Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa
State and Kansas Aggies followed
! the way of the Tigers and fell be
fore the Nebraska eleven's power
ful onslaught.
The "powerhouse," as the Ne
braska eleven was called, tore thru
Syraruse, and Montana State, held
'Pitt to a tie and lost to the Army.
rfliit of the nine games on the card,
the Buskers turned in a win for
seven of them and tied one. This
is the best record since Coach
Bearg and his staff came to Ne
braska in 1925.
Bearg Started in 1925
In September, 1925, Coach Bearg
took the reins ofhe Cornhusker
. football- soiiad as head coach. Bearg
! had been .agslslR.pt back-field coach
. at Illinois under "Bob" Zuppko be-
lore coming to Nebraska. His ex
perience in university football
coaching was limited only to Illinois
as before he took the position on
the lllinl coaching staff, he was
football coach at Washburn col
lege, a small school at Topeka,
Kansas.
But the Nebraska squad, was
drilled and developed Into one of
the most formidable elevens in the
country and turned back the power
ful Not re Dame eleven and Illinois.
"Red" Grange, the ghost of the
. gridiron met his Waterloo before
the Ileargmen of Nebraska and
loach Knute Rockne's Irish eleven
was repelled to top off the season
victoriously.
Coach Bearg, during his stay at
Nebraska has turned out many
tamous football warriors. He has
developed teams that have been
given nation wide prominence in
football circles throughout the
country. This Is . Coach Bearg's
last year with the Cornhuskers and
he leaves Nebraska with a record
of 3;; Karnes, 24 of which he turned
in as victories, two tie games and
seven defeats.
Bunny Oakes Assists
Assisting Coach Bearg was
I narh "Bunny" Oakes, line coach.
The Nebraska forward wall or the
pal two years speaks well for
Coach Oakes. He has turned out
one of the best forward walls In
Cornhusker history. He has de
veloped men like Dan McMullen,
All American and All Western
guard. Klmer Holm. Ray Randels
and many others. It was the work
of "Himny" Oakes this season that
kiu partly responsible for the
slum In? made by the scarlet and
firm ou the gridiron.
Oakes hud a line that averaged
clo.-e to 195 pounds from wing lo
wing and was considered by critics
to ! the best In the middle weht.

t Army, Coach "Biff" Jones said.
' "It Is the greatest football line that
1 have ever seen. Coaches and
critics were unanimous In their
praise of the 1928 Nebraska line.
The oilier assistants ou the var
sity couching staff were "Choppy"
Rhodes, assistant backfield coach;
l.eo Scherer, end coach; and Billy
I ay, assistant line roach. These
men who coached the 1928 team

Corn Cobs Rally to Keep Cornhusker
Spirit Afire During Football Season
(By Bill McCleery)
It sweeps the campus like an ex
hilarating breeze, that intangible
thing known as Cornhusker spirit.
The chief purpose of the Corn
Cobs, local chapter of PI Epsilon
Pi, as a pep organization Is to
arouse that legendary spirit. To
create enthusiasm that thrills out
siders, stimulates students, and
pushes the mighty Cornhuskers on
to victory.
At times the "pep" is spontan
eous with the entire student body.
But when the spirit seems to lag
the time is ripe for red sweater
clad Corn Cdbs to stir up the pride
and feeling of Nebraska students.
Singing In classes, morning ral
lies and house-to-house sorority
tours are the methods used by the
Corn Cobs to bring to the surface
the all-powerful Cornhusker spirit.
Program Sales Lost.
During the past season the Corn
Cobs suffered a severe financial
blow when the sale of programs at
football games was taken from
them. They did not allow this ap
parent resource-crippling to ham
per the work that was theirs to do.
"This organization was not founded
for the purpose of selling pro
grams," explained one member In
a meeting of the Corn Cobs. "Our
Job is to stir up plenty of spirit,
and there is no reason why we
should let down Just because we
are unable to put out programs in
the stands."
Consequently the "Cobs" buckled
down and attempted to continue
their work. They successfully dis
guised disappointment, at the re
moval of program-selling from their
hands and "rallied" as never be
fore for every grid game, regard
less of its importance.
Coliseum Rallies Peppy.
Rallies In the Coliseum were
punctuated tiy Corn Cob outbursts.

The banquet will start promptly
at 5:45 and will be over In time so
as to not interfere with engage
ments scheduled for later in the
evening. The price of the banquet
Is one dollar.'
The banquet is an annual tradi
tion and in former years has been
attended by a large number of
students. Last year over nine hun
dred students attended. Over one
thousand students are expected at
the affair this year according to
Charles Bruce, general chairman.

That's the nicest lhank-you any one ean

scription for any man on your list.
The entrance of the Scarlet and
Cream as presented by Corn Cobs
In their sweaters and white trous
ers tended to add life to the live
liest rally.
The Corn Cob membership was
reorganized a few weeks after the
list of new members was announ
ced. Fraternities who had no men
In the organization were given the
privilege of electing one. Plans to
make the Corn Cobs more repres
entative and more democratic were
successfully worked out by the pep
club.
In other seasons the Corn Cobs
were admitted free "to football
games. This year, however, the
members found It necessary to buy
their own tickets. They assisted In
the working of the cheering section
at all times. DuCing the season
they sold tickets to Dad's Day lun
cheon and to the Band Ball, first
step towards sending the Nebraska
R. O. T. C. band to West Point.
Feathers Are Sold.
The final tribute to Cornhusker
spirit was made by the Corn Cobs
when they sold "N" feathers lu
sufficient quantities to complete
the fund for sending the bnnd back
to New York for the Army-Nebraska
game.
As an example of the effort put
out by members of Corn Cobs, few
of them were without sore throats
on the Sunday following the Mis
souri game. That, probably, w.is
the time of their greatest manifes
tation of spirit. They succeeded in
arousing Cornhusker spirit power
ful enough to back the Nebraska
team In Its battle against the Ti
gers, and to aid them In bringing
In a 24-n victory.
The Corn Cob season does not
end with the close of football
games. The organization will con
tinue Its work throughout the year,
assisting university officials when
ever they are 'asked to do so

educator, who Is spending some
time at Northwestern university as

"Your students are strange," he
says, "the men beat one another in
their fraternity houses and then go
out and co-operate with one an
other to the fullest extent."
