Opening Tilt of Season Saturday.
The University of Nebraska and the University of Chicngo
will open their 1935 football seasons Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
Which isn't a particularly impressive or meaningful state
ment, inasmuch as several hundred other American universities
will be similarly engaged ai inaio

or Chicago gridiron fancier doesn't
remember it you'll probably at
tach a good deal of significance to
the fact that Saturday is only four
days distant. And four days be

son Is a comparatively short time.
Clark Shaugnessey's lads and
Dana X. Bible's lads will tangle
In Memorial stadium this weekend
In the first meeting of the repre
sentatives of those schools since
1906. Moreover, those who enter
tain the mistaken impression that
the Maroons will be a pushover
may prepare for a distinct and
definite surprise.
Bible Praises Chicago.
Coach Bible, questioned Monday
about the kind of a team he has
scheduled for the first game with
his own huskies, answered in no
uncertain terms, "Chicago's first
string lineup is as strong as any
we'll encounter this season." And
since the Cornpicker football Na
poleon isn't commonly addicted to
handing out statements like that
for nothing, it's a pretty sure
thing that Memorial stadium will
be about as depressing Saturday
as a cocktail party at 3 o'clock in
r the morning.
The Husker mentor concluded
his evaluation of the Maroons with
"They're lacking in reserve power,
but their first team will stand up
with any we'll play this fall."
The first part of that statement,
at least, is mutually consistent
with the Scarlet and Cream; the
applicability of the latter remains
to be seen at about 6 o'clock Sat
, urday.
"What about Berwanger? Well,
he was -the best of the Western
conference last year." That should
speak for itself."
"We made a lot of mistakes last
Saturday which must be corrected
by this weekend," the Husker commander-in-chief
stated. "We did
some poor blocking and we missed
a lot of assignments, uui moire (
weren't the worst mistakes. Our j
two outstanding faults were too
many fouls and the lack of speed."
Bemoans Lack of Speed. j
He placed particular emphasis:
upon the latter criticism. "Wei
didn't run, except in that third ;
quarter, and then we went places.
A winning football attack, to my ,
knowledge, can't be developed
without relying on running plays. ,
if it run I'd like to work under I
the man who designed it I'd like
to get some experience under him."
Coach Bible declined to com
ment upon the showing of his men
on defense because they have bad
no opportunity to work under fire.
The freshman offense Saturday
didn't wheel enough heavy artil
lery into action to afford a basis
of determination.
The Huskers will work on the
defense phase of the game most
of this week. There will be a
light scrimmage with the frosh
Wednesday evening as usual.
Monday's drill was directed
mainly to team play defensive and
signal practice.
Lloyd Cardwell and Jrry La
noue. injured last week, were
raring to go again Monday.
Henry "Chl"f" Hauer. who did
most of the pass flipping last Bat
urday, will be game captain
against the Chicagoans, it was
announced yesterday.
The officials Saturday will be
Frank Birch, Earl ham, referee;
Ira Carritbers. Illinois, umpire;

sition as associate director of the
Players. Hart Jenks, successful
Broadway Shakespearean .actor
who assisted with many produc
tions last year, will round out the
directing staff. Don Friedly and
Don Buell, Yale graduates, will
handle all designing and technical
arrangements of the stage. The
new business manager, Armand
Hunter, is a 1935 graduate of the
dramatics department, and was
featured in many of the Players'
productions in the past three
years.
The setting in this initial ap
pearance of the Players is at a
fraternity house party. During
the course of the evening, a series
of murders are committed which
changes the lively affair from a
scene of collegiate merriment to
an evening of terror, mystery, and
death.
"This play was selected for the
1935 debut of the Players because
its collegiate theme and back
ground should be of especial inter
est to all university students. Hun
ter pointed out enthusiastically.
All elements of a good mystery
novel are woven into what it takes
to make a good drama."
"This play is the Players' bid to
all students at the University of
Nebraska to see a Tassel and get
their ticket for a big season of the
newest and best in modern drama
obtainable," stated Hunter in his
appeal for student support for a
student enterprise.
Most Lincoln people who bad
season subscriptions last year
have already asked for reserva
tions, so it is important that the
students go down to Magee's early
in order to receive good seats,
Hunter reported.

CHICAGO MENTOR
DEPENDS ON VETS
SATURDAY TILT
Shaughnessy Pins Hopes for
Maroon Victory on
Old Players.
CHICAGO, III., Sept. 23. Faced
with one of the hardest opening
games ever scheduled by the Uni
versity, of Chicago, against Ne
braska on the latter's own field
Sept. 28, Coach Clark Shaughnessy
is pursuing a logical course of pre
paration, in view of the limited
Maroon material and the short
time available.
He is concentrating most of his
attention on a group of veterans
who are steady, well grounded in
fundamentals, and familiar with
the Shaughnessy attack. He is
building this group into top physi
cal shape, at once avoiding possible
inlurie.i and workine up a tricky
offense, by racing his first team
twice ' daily thru a succession of
old and new plays. Defensive op
erations and scrimmage were not
scheduled for the first week or ten
days of practice.
This Maroon first team should
e-ive a eood account of itself. It
must also, however, learn how to
protect itself from injuries, for the
second team, with the exception of
four or five men, falls a good deal
short of the capabilities of the
first, and the third team is still an
other degree shy on talent.
Team Has Fair Speed.
The first team has good size, fair
speed in the line, considerable alac
rity in the backfield, and experi
ence. Ten of the eleven men now
working as a unit are lettermcn
and the other is a minor award
winner from last year. The center
of the line, composed left to right
from tackle to tackle of Merritt
Bush, prescott Jordan, Sam White
side, Harmon Meigs and Clarence
Wright, averages above 200 pounds
per man in weight. The two ends,
Bob Perretz and Gordon Petersen,
scale about 185 each. The four
backs, Capt. Jay Berwanger, Ned
Bartlett, Ewald Nyquist and War
ren Skoning, average slightly
above 185.
Chief problems about this first
team, in addition to their ability to
stay healthy, are a lack of cxperi- j
ence by the ends, as ends; the need j
to discover a talent in one of the
linemen for backing the center on i
defense; and the question whether
signal calling is not too much of a

job for Jay Berwanger, who, as left
halfback is counted on to do most
of the kicking, passing and ball
carrying. Perretz and Petersen
are both converts to ends, the for
mer havine been stationed at miard
the last two seasons, the latter hav
ine- divided his time as a "reserve
between center and end; both have
had some game experience at tne
flnnks. hnwevsr. Jordan, the run-
nine- cuard on offense, will eet the
first crack at line backing. If this
isn't satisfactory, Shaughnessy will
try Earl Sappington, letterman at
tackle last year, or George Atonic,
a sophomore, probably displacing
Meigs.
High spot in the team's promise
is, of course, Jay Berwanger,
whose performance last year
earned him All America rating.
Ned Bartlett. rieht half, was al
most as bright a triple threat star
as Jay last year until he was in
jured; he is less rugged as a block
er and defensive player. Of the
linemen, Shaughnessy is banking
on great things this year by Dig
Merritt Bush, senior tackle.
Line replacements are better
than those in the backfield. Aside
from a group of "pony" backs, all
good players but small, the only
promising backfield reserve man
is Fred Lehnhardt, 185 pound
sophomore who is being groomed
both as a quarterback and full
hnrk. There are half a dozen re
serve linemen who weigh in around
200 pounds, but they lack experi
ence, and in some cases, speed.

Contrasting to the usual bumper
crop of B team players, a great
scarcity of nubbins is present this

As a bit of inducement Ely
