Cornh'usk'ers Out to End String of 13 Minnesota
Tins Over Nebraska; D. X. Reports No
Injuries; 34 3Ien Make Trip.
A! squad of 34 Cornhuskers will
entrain tonight for a battle arena
where they plan to do something
a Nebraska football team has been
unable to do since 1913 trounce
Minnesota.
"To be able to take it Is all well
enough until it becomes a habit"
is the watchword in the Huskers'
dressing room. It has also be
come the attitude of the red
shirted Cornhuskers toward the
Gophers. Thirteen times the Hus
kers have lost to Minnesota, until
it has become a taken for granted
habit. Well, this year the Corn
huskers are out to break this
habit.
True, that the Vikings outweigh
Nebraska in the line. That is a
characteristic of Minnesota elev
ens, but weight won't mean every
thing in Saturday's game. The
two backfields pair up quite equal
ly, each team having its best run
ner, passer and punter.
Husker Injuries Nil.
Injuries on Nebraska's roster
are virtually nil. Elmer Dohr
mann. giant right end, is over a
knee injury and ready for duty as
one flank man. Les McDonald
will be at the left end, with Virg
Yelkin, Paul Amen and John Rich
ardson leading the reserves.
Fred Shirey and Ted Doyle will
play the inside end positions with
Jack Ellis. Omaha veteran, alter
nating with Doyle at the right
tackle Capable lesei ves are found
in Bob Mills. George Belders and
Jack Hutcherfon.
Bob Mehring and Ken McGinnis
head the guard list. McGinnis de
clared himself free from his knee
iniurv Thursday and is leady to
fill the
Peters,
rieht guard berth. Gus :
l.mvell Knelish. Georse I
Seemann and Bill Heimann are
reserve guard candidates.
Rugged Charlie Brock is the
onlv sophomore expected to start
against the Vikings. Brock is
backed at the center job by Bob
Ramey and Bob Ray.
Backfield Men Plentiful.
Coach D. X. Eible's backfield
men are more than prepared to
run up against Minnesota. Johnny

Howell at quarter, Ron Douglas
at left half. Game Captain Lloyd
Cardwell at right half and Sam
Francis at full is the first string
of ball runners. Douglas and
Francis are the punters in this
quartet.
Backficld reserves are plentiful
in Nebraska's squad. Bill Andre
son and Thurston Phelps are
quarterbacks. Art Ball, Harris An
drews, and Ernie White are half
backs, and Bill Callihan is the re
serve fullback. Nearly all of
these reserve backs can play any
position in the backfield. Andre
son is the best punter in this
group, while Andiews tops the
passers.
Thursday's practice, bailed
from the curious public, consisted
largely of, dummy offensive and
defensive scrimmage between the
fresh, employii.g Minnesota for
mations, and the varsity. Coach
Browne, who scouted the Gophers
two weeks ago. leviewed Minne
sota's attack with the entire squad
after the limbering up exercises.
Coach Bible quizzed regulars
and reserves on their assignments
against the 6-3-2 defense that
Coach Bin-man's Vikings use. The
frosh and varsity took turns hand
ling the ball on the vaisity field,
perfecting Nebraska's offense and
defense against Minnesota. The
dav's workout was topped off with
a f-heit tackling session using the
tackling dummies.
Friday's Workout Secret.
Friday's workout will consist of
a secret signal drill and a short
dummy scrimmage against the
frosh to taper off the week's pre-
paraiory worn uuulc me

Well, tomorrow ia the day! The
day when I firmly believe coach
Dana X. Bible will be taking the
best football material he has ever
had against the second best Bernie
Biernian of the Minnesota Gophers
ever tutored. I say second because
it undoubtedly falls short of the
days of Pung Lund and his ten
team mates of his calibre in 1933.
From all outward appearances
it looks as tho Bernie may as well
have his crying towel closeted, for
most of the sports commentators
over the universe are putting
greenbacks on Minnesota by one
touchdown. This is just enough
judging from the Nordick's all
American lineup, but we corn-fed
Nebraskans believe, and truly too,
that the Northerners will be in for
a long afternoon tomorrow. They
may have the edge in weight and
football history, but the Huskers
will match them in vengefull de
termination. Another score for the
foe is their layoff last week as
the Biblemen snowed away Iowa

plete injury list, however, and tip
top Is the word describing the
roster.
My honest wager is a scoreless
deadlock on Minnesota turf tomor
row. Bible may expect the far famed
Bierman plays which have netted
the all potent Gophers so many
yards. The first is and end around
play in which the agate is passed
to the fullback who gives a half
spin and tosses the burden to a
wingback coming across who in
turn gives it to left end. Cute?
Another is a simple power play
in which every man blocks for all
that is in him and. they literally
shove the opposition down the
field.
In the third the tailback gets
thP hall, fakes, and plows thru
tackle behind four of the teams
best blockers.
The final blow is a lateral from
the half just over scrimmage to
the tailback coming wide r.xound
end. It has been said that this was
adopted from the old Nebraska
lateral to game Captain Cardwell.
guess is as good as ours, but on
a sudden hunch, we'll take Ohio
State over Pitt.
Oregon State-California: Cali

Princeton-Rutgers: Princeton
is the choice.
Purdue-Wisconsin: Purdue has
the best ball club here.
Rice-Texas A & M: Texas A

Stanford-Oregon: Rosebowlian
Stanford is still powerful.
Texas-Oklahoma: We stand
for Texas, suh.
Tulane-Centenary : Close bat

UCLA-Washington: We'll take

What Is a Gopher?
In Minnesota "gophers" is the
name of the football team that
will play Nebraska Huskers Sat
urday. In Webster's dictionary a goph
er is:
"1. Any of certain burrowing
rodents the size of a large rat
or larger, having small eyes and
short ears, etrong claws on the
fore limbs, and very large
cheek pouches opening beside
(not into) the mouth: whence
they are also called 'pocket
gophers' or "pouched rats'. They
are confined to western North
America. Central America, and
certain of the southern United
States, east to Georgia. In the
latter region they are called
'salamanders.
"2. Any of numerous small,
mostly longitudinally striped,
ground squirrels of the prairie
region of North America . . .
closely allied to chipmunks.
"3. A burrowing land tortoise.
"4. The gopher snake."
There are two definitions in
the infallible Webster. The
reader may take his pick of ".
A burglar who blows open
safes." end "6. An inhabitant of
Minnesota."

versity's Evacston campus a half

HUSKERS KEEP SOIL SOUVENIR
FROM 1913 W IN OVER GOPHERS
Nebraska Beat Minnesota 6-0 on Home
13 Years Ago; Memento Saved from
Spot Where Score Was Made.
Carefully preserved in the
Club room at the coliseum is
shield with a small glass-encased
circle, about the size of a half dol
lar, containing something more
precious than radium to loyal Ne
braskans. It is dirt plain, com
mon ordinary, everyday dirt.
Why so prec'ous? This dirt,
my friends, was taken from the ac
tual spot where a Husker half
back scored Nebraska's last game
winning touchdown from the
Gophers of Minnesota. This was
thirteen years ago, to be exact,
Oct. 18, 1923 in Nebraska's Me
morial Stadium.
In 1902, the third year of ath
letic strife between the northland
Vikings and the midwest Corn
huskers, Nebraska won its first
game against the Gophers. The
score was 6 to 0. Since then, with
.the exception of 1913, the Huskers
have never won a game from Min
nesota, but have succeeded twice
in tieing the mighty Gophers. In
19C8 the game ended in a scoreless
deadlock and in 1919 the score was
a 6-6 stalemate.
The Vikings have won. there
fore .thirteen of these games, Ne
braska has had two victories, and
two ties complete the record. For
the superstitions souls, thirteen
years since a Husker victory and
thirteen Minnesota wins in the se
ries might mean something.
Behind them lie three seasons
without a defeat, two seasons with
out a tie and two national cham
pionships. That is the awe-in-
spiring record of the mighty Vik
ings against whom Coach D. X.
Bible will send the Cornhuskers.
I A record of eighteen consecutive
wins marks the Gophers grid book.
I Two moie victories and the Goph
jers will equal the record of the
I old Notre Dame team twenty
straight wins. If the Vikings win
