Cornhusker First Stringers Kept Under Wraps in Last
Scrimmage Before Saturday Tilt; Carwell on
Sidelines Eldridge Plays Half.
Defiantly challenging for first place ns the week end's
leading sports arena, Memorial stadium brings to the midwest
ern gridiron public this Saturday a dramatic contest of thrills
and throbs that will take a front scat with any of them.
When Hemic Pierman's catastrophic Minnesotans set foot
on me Nebraska gridiron tundrap
at slightly before two o'clock
Tuuesday afternoon to conclude
a little business transaction with
Dana X. Bible's speedy Huskers,
the stage will be set for what
promises to be one of the most
sensation-studded battles in the
nation.
With the zero hour drawing
nigh, it appears that it's going to
resolve into a matter of speed
against power, deceptive agility
against a high-powered charge of
TNT, when the Huskers and the
Gonhers start the ball rolling Sat
urday.
Anything Goes,
In a combination like that, al
most anything can happen. Such
usually-substantial factors as end
runs or forward passes or first
downs may not be capable of
coping with the situation. When
two equally matched, powerful
elevens attempt to translate their
opinions of one another into ac
tion on the same field, the out
come may hinge upon the slim
margin of good luck or bad
breaks. The three meddlesome sis
ters of fate may even be called
from their fanciful existence and
Santa Claus may come down from
his toy plant to help one of the
contestants along with an inter
cepted pass or a penalty at a cn
tical moment
The Huskers won't be quite on
a par with the Minnesotans in the
matter of weight, altho Roy Ly
man has scouted through his po
tential forwards for the heaviest
combination possible. Link's line
men outweigh the Gopher wall a
little more than a pound per man,
but the Minnesota team is still
stronger in the matter of total
avoirdupois.
Up to the Backs.
What significance that surplus
poundage possesses will be largely
a matter for the Husker backfieid
to determine. Husker fans will
not be far wrong, either, in con
cluding that if anyone does any
ball-carrying against the Norse
powerhouse, it will be up to Lloyd
Cardwell to do most of it. The
midwestern football public, with
the majority of the nation looking
over its shoulder, is waiting with
bated breath to see the Wild
Horse from Seward dance his way
to touchdowns as he did against
Iowa State and Chicago,
It's no wonder, therefore, that
Cardy is walking on a velvet car
pet this week as the Huskers com
plete those essential last-minute
preparations for their opportunity
weekend. While the rest of the
Nebraska squad was zipping
through the last strenuous work
out before the game the Husker
ball-toting threat followed with
the coaches, taking no chances of
aggravating the knee injury
which he suffered last Saturday.
The entire scarlet first string
was under wraps, however, hold
ing back tightly on the reins lest
an injury mess up the works. Al
though scrimmage against the
freshmen on the playing field in a
brisk offensive workout, the
Husker main hopes stopped when
they were tagged, preventing a
possible injury in tackling.
First String Lineup.
The first stringers started with
Lea McDonald and Bernie Scherer
at end, Jack Ellis and Jimmie
Heldt at tackle, Johnnie Williams
and Lad as Hubka at guard, and
Paul Morrison at center. Toby El
dridge took over Cardy's halfback
post, with Jerry Lanoue, Sam
Francis, and Henry Bauer com
pleting the quartet.
Most of the heavy duty took
place on the practice turf south
of the playing field, where a sec
ond lineup went on defensive ma
neuvers against another prep grad
squad. The defenders that stopped
the ineffectual frosh in their
tracks, except for an occasional
pass that caught them asleep,
consisted of Elmer Dohrmann and
John Richardson at end, Fred
Shirey and Ted Doyle at tackle,
Kenneth McGinnis and Gus Peters
at guard, and Bob Mehring at
center. The backfieid was com
posed of Bob Benson, Jack Dodd,
Johnnie Howell, and Ron Douglas,
with Harris Andrews, Allan Tur
ner and Art Ball changing off in
that department and Don Flaa
nick. Bill Doberty, Pat Glenn and
Lowell English subbing in the
line.

Gardener Hurries
To Store Flowers
After First Frost
With Jack Frost's first visit this
fall comes the taking in of Max
Schiller's favorite, multi-colored
cannas which dotted the campus
for so many weeks. The plants are
stored away with part of the soil
which clings to their roots when
dug to keep them from dry rot
ting. But if too much dirt is left,
they will rot, anyway. How to
know just what to?
Some of the plants are left in
the greenhouse for the use of the
botany classes, but the greater
portion is stored in the college
basement for the winter.

PERSONALITY KEY TO
L
Blower Engineer Speaks
At M. E. Convocation
Wednesday.
Engineering students should
acquire a good personality and
strong character in order that they
might receive success in the indus
trial world, W. L. Dudley of Se
attle, Wash., told student attend
ing the flrat M. E. convocation,
Wednesday morning.
"It is absolutely necessary that
students mold within themselves a
strong character." the chief engi
neer of the Western Blower Co,
of Seattle, declared. "A good per
sonality above all is demanded in
Industry and it is impossible for a
man without it to become a leader
in his field. Dishonest men are
not wanted because It la Impos
sible for a business to survive by
unfair practices."
Mr. Dudley stressed the de
pendence of engineering on scien
tific research and the reception
college graduates are being given
as they enter productive industry.
Leaders in the engineering field
are now beginning to consider only
college graduates as employes, be
asserted.

Work on the student directory
progressing at a pace which
should insure publication of the

barring mishaps, according to
Leonard Dull and Charles Hulac
who are in charge of the 1935-36

the verification of the numbers.
Hulac stated, however, that the

the printers. The printing this year
is to be done by the McKelvie
printers, who publish the Ne

Any students who are still de

cards bearing their name, address,
home town, and telephone number,

Hulac said. It may already be too

ing. Goal of the campaign is in
creasing the subscription list to a
new high level and arousing fresh

A large group of subscription
workers has been organized and
during the next weeK will person

stated. Meetings of workers w ill be
held at various times throughout
the week to report results of the
drive.
"The Nebraska Blue Print is a
student engineering publication
and is one of the few means by
which students may become ac
quainted with the college and the
activities of ita various depart
ments." "The magazine is of great value
to the student as it keeps him ac
quainted with projects and activi
ties in the engineering field." b
contended. "As graduates of t.'
university who are now leaders ...
the profession regularly contribute
articles of interest."
