Coaches Hammer Defense in Husker Qrid Camp

BIBLE BARS GATES
ON TUESDAY DRILL
Mentors Stress Blocking,
Tackling in Stiff
Workout.
Tueaday was a rough day for
Coach D. X. Bible's Cornhuskers
when they went thru a workout
that included a long session on
tackling and blocking with stress
laid on the defensive play. Visi
tors were once more barred from
watching the Huskers on the
outh practice lot. Wednesday's
scrimmage is open to the public.
With a group of stout freshmen
serving as dummy ball carriers,
varsity backs and ends were put
thru a strenuous tackling lesson.
The yearlings received some stiff
jolts from the hard tackling of the
experienced varsity men.
Group work in tackling and
blocking was the feature of the
linemen's program. Helmets were
securely adjusted as Assistant
Coaches Lyman, Schulte and
Browne pitted the men of the
forward wall against one another
in blocking, and tackling was con
fined to the tackling dummies.
Tackle Berth Uncertain.
A lively scrap was in evidence
for the empty right tackle berth.
Fred Shirey, veteran tackier, looks
like a sure starter at left tackle,
but whether Jack Ellis or Ted
Doyle will open at right tackle
is the question before the house.
Ellia has won one major letter
and Doyle has made his minor
letter. Doyle is a mite heftier
than Ellis, but Ellis can seemingly
move faster than Doyle. ,
Tackle reserves aren't too plen
tiful or over experienced. Rolyne
Boschult, Bill Doherty, Jack
Hutcherson, and Bob Mills com
prise the meager stock of tackle
supply, which doesn't appear plen
tiful enough to withstand the of
fensive onslaught inside and out
side tackle that Nebraska's nine
grid foes will ultimately offer.
Ken MeGinnis is the sole return
ing veteran in the guard lineup.
Either Bobby Mehring or Lowell
English will pah' up with MeGin
nis for the opening game. Mehr
ing will likely get the call, as Eng
lish is on the mend from a recent
rib bruise, but should see plenty
of action. English holds nearly
a 25 pound weight advantage over
Mehring.
Anxious to see game action in
the doubtful left guard berth are
Gus Peters and Perry Franks,
smaller men but prepared to fill
the position quite capably. Three
sophomores George Seeman,
Paul Baurnann and Ed Sauer are
also promising guard candidates.
With Les McDonald as game
captain for the Ames tilt and
playing his regular left end post,
either Virg Yeikin or Elmer Dohr
mann will start at the opposite
wing. Since tall Elmer's recent
injury, Yeikin looms as the na
tural right end starter. Paul Amen
and John Richardson are prepared
to step in for McDonald and Lloyd
Grimm, Jack Mercier, Ken Shindo
and Bernie Smith are additional
flank reserves.
Center Charley Brock looks like
the only sophomore who will
start. Bob Ramey and Bob Ray,
two more sophomores, are well
equipped to substitute for Brock.
Ramey has been giving Brock a
i run for his position ana snouia see
! considerable game action this fall.

Coach 'Biff Jones Pleased
With Work of Squad in
Early Drills.
NORMAN. Sept. 23. Pelted al
most every day by cold rain, Maj.
Lawrence "Biff" Jones' Oklahoma
Sooners are sliding thru the mud
in daily scrimmage against a
browny eager squad of freshmen
and are handling the wet ball
pretty well for boys who have just
been out nine days.
The Sooners open the 1936 sea
son against Coach Vic Burt's Tul
sa university aggregation at Nor
man Sept 26. The "Golden Hur
ricane." Missouri Valley confer
ence co-champions last year, will
shoot a world of forward and lat
eral passes in the inaugural of the
"Aerial Circus" offense which
Coach Hurt learned last year as
assistant coach of the Roe Bowl
Southern Methodist team.
Major Jones is expecting to see
the air blue with Tulsa passes and
has concentrated on forward pass
defense. However most of his time
has been spent burnishing the
strong running game Oklahoma
had last year.
In scrimmage against the fresh
men this week and the Sooner
were clicking despite the mud.
With Bill Breeden hitting off
guard and tackle on vicious spin
ners and Jack Eaer running clev
erly off reverses, the first team
began Thursday's workout by driv
ing "5 yards to a touchdown
arir th frosh in 12 lavs. Then
on the first ensuing play, Elmo
"Bo" Hewes, rangy right wing
back, whipped 81 yards thru the
muddy Bermuda for a score off a
reverse crossing and running
beautifully behird the deadly
blocking of Al Corrotto , and Con
nie Ahrens.
Major Jones' first string lineup
for this scrimmage included Wal
ter Young and Herb Mathers,
ends: Jack Reaves and Ralph
Erown, tackles: Fred Ball and Ah
rens. guards; William "Red" Conk
right, center; Corrotto. front back
Baer and Hewes, wingbax:k; and
Breeden, tailback.
The Sooner third string, a much
greener aggregation, then took the
field ar.1 altho the freshmen re
sisted stubbornly, managed to
wheel down the sodden turf to one
touchdown with Woodrow Huddle
ston. 165 pound Indian triple
threat, running and passing well.
However the feature of this set-to
was the eharp tackling of Buck
Simms. a freshman back from
Henryetta. Tex. .who once nailed
the varsity ball lugger five times
in a row from his position as de
fensive halfback.

From all appearances It looks as
though the bucket brigade may as
well turn out this year and set
their vessels under the respective
coaches of the country to save this
land from a severe inundation of
teari. Already the ether is laden
with mentor's wails of weak teams,
anemic centers, fragile tackles,
and what have you. The competi
tion this year is seemingly not be
tween the grooming elevens, but
between the tonsil lustiness of
their guardian coaches.
Last spring aa the flowers had
stopped blooming, tra la, an iden
tified roster of the Huskera was
published along with the 1936
chedule. The latter included the
usual array of the countries finest
grid blood, plus an addition of In
diana, a fine Big Ten aggregation.
The former gave such bright pros
pect that an Instantaneous chat
ter broke out like rain. Everyone
was telling everyone else of the
world beaters coming up in the
Scarlet camp
Twelve lettermen so primed the
Huskerminded that already 9,500
season tickets have passed over
the counter, not Including the stu
dent sale to be instigated this
week. Three-fourths of all single
admission for the Pittsburgh
game have been exhausted. Thi6
alone is a criterion of the confi
dence in the Bible boys, for no one
has ever een a Nebraska fan with
the urging desire to barter for a

Bible Reviews Grid Calendar
With Enthusiastic Optimism
Husker Coach Lauds Players
Of Players in Alumnus
"As long as the Cornhuskers at
tempt this type of a schedule, the
thetic friends of our institution
may well expect interesting games
and sometimes the final results
may not be to our liking. How
ever, competition with teams ot
the caliber Nebraska has been
meeting the past few years, I be
lieve challenges the bf-st that is
in our athletes, followers and
coaches. Therefore, it is with a
spirit of optimism the varsity sets
itself to the task of preparing for
the 1936 football campaign."
Thus, Coach D. X. Bible ex
presses himself to Husker grad
uates in an article titled "Earnest
Optimism" in the September issue
of the Nebraska Alumnus regard
ing the representative nine-game
football program scheduled for this
fall.
Lauds Cornhusker Spirit.
Lauding the Cornhusker squad
for their pre-season enthusiasm.
Coach Bible writes: "This splendid
spirit of the Nebraska squad was
reflected in the excellent response
to the first practice call. Forty
three boys were invited back of
full-time intra-squad scrimmage
Saturday afternoon.
And the development of thew
weaknesses waa begun in earnest
as the Cyclone mentor sent his
men through long workouts Mon
day morning and nigni. heverai
of the Cyclones were limping
about the field with slight injuries
that will keep them out of scrim
mages for a day or two.
Complete satisfaction with the
cyclone passing attack was ex
pressed by Coach Veenker. who
proclaimed it as better tnan last
year's aerial threat. He was es
pecially well pleased with the
passing of Everett Kischer, Al
bert City, sophomore, whose tosses

the opening practice, September
j 10. Fifteen minutes before the
time for the opening session, all
but one of these boys were pres
ent in the dresir.g room ready for
business. This showing I believe
was one of the finest in my coach-
1 ir.g experience and I feel the at
titude of the boys will be reflected
' in the showing made on the foot
ball field this year."
I "Please don't misinterpret my
oDtirr.ism." continues Coach Bible's
1 article. "I am not predicting an
undefeated season. I am not even
' predicting Nebraska will win aa
many games as last season. The
: uncertainty of football coupled
i with the strenuous schedule makes
it possible for us to display an
improved game this season anr1. yet
close with a record which on pa
per may hardly be comparable
with that made by the 1935 team."
Names Players.
Coach Bible tells in his article
the lettermen lost by graduation,
returning lettermen and up-and-coming
tophomores. and how po
sitions stack up for the Huskers.
No indication of which men will
start for Nebraska in the Iowa
State game was given by Coach
Bible, but McDonald at end,
Shirey &t tackle. MeGinnis at
pj&rd. Brock at center and How
ell, Cardwell and Francis at the
backfield posts are cinches to
start.
In conclusion Coach Bible
states: "This is my eighth year at
the University of Nebraska. The
vears have been filled with friend
ships which have made easy and
pleasant the tasks performed. I
know no state that can match Ne
braska in loyalty and whole
hearted support accorded the Corn
huskers and those connected with
the coaching of the varsity teams."
Faced with the difficult and al
most impossible job oi picking the
linemen, out of the squad oi 110
candidates who will be most likely
to stand up untier the attack of
the varsity Saturday, Sept. 26, in
the annual freshman-varsity game,
Coach Ed Weir ha almost decided
to turn the job over to someone
else and start work immediately
on a book called "Why Freshman
Coaches Go Nuts."
With onlv three more drills on
schedule before the varsity game ;
and with everything and every po
sition still wide open to those i
capable of filling them, Weir an-
ticipates plentv of changes and a i
good deal of shapeup during the j
next two or three days of prac
tice, and is hoping to be able to ,
give every one of the 110 es-
pirants an equal chance of being
on the starting lineup Saturday.
Names Possible Starters. j
In the session held last right '
Weir used the following line- j
nn onite freauentlv and seemed I
pleased with the showing it made. ;
This team included tsoo ivanier, j
Grand Island, and Bert Cramer
Superior at ends: Warren Alison, i
Wisner, and Rudy Decker, Schuy- j
ler, at tackles; Adna Dobson, Lin
coln, and Leland Yant. Wauneta, t
at guards; and Robert Burruss,
Omaha, and Bob Moody, Omaha,
alternating at the center position.
In the backfield Otto Huebner.
Glenwood, Iowa, was directing the
plays at quarterback; Rusty Brad
ford, Mitchell, and Jim Mather.
Arannhoe. were at the halfback
positions; and Marvin Kollel, a
newcomer wno nas neen ouismnu
ing in the opening drills, was per
forming at the fullback post.
Standouts among these boys are
Bradford an all-state back from
Mitchell, who has been going at
full speed since the first session:
Decker, a 6 foot 4 inch 245 pound
tackle from Schuyler who seems
to be headed for a big season: and
Dobson, the 190 pound guard from
Lincoln, who is almost certain of
a starting berth Saturday.
No Hard Scrimmages.
Several teams were used dur
ing the practice and all the pos
sible combinations were tried.
However, no hard strimmage has
been held as yet and until there
has been it will be impossible to
uncover the best eleven, states
Weir.
One of the outstanding things
about this year's team is that
there are a great many likely boys
who have never had hold of a foot
ball until they checked out a suit
as a Cornhusker this fall. This
means that it will take a lot of
drilling on fundamentals and basic
plays before these gtiddeis will be
seasoned enough to be able to
qualify for a position on a regular
team.
When asked of the possii. :
starting lineup of Saturday's a:
Weir said that every position v.-si..
still wide open and that he wo i ..j
not know definitely until .iu;
game had started. He also st.i. I
that he would probably use io. ;
or five complete teams duiv.g tl: ;
battle in order to give ewiyoii
a little experience.
