Who has thrilled more Nebraska rooters I than any other player, a week from to- J nlsrht. Bender brings his team, the Kansas Ag g'es of Msnhattan, Kan., to Lincoln next Saturday for the annual game between these two Missouri Valley schools. There la nothing quite so sweet to the former Comhusker star as a victory over his ' alma mater. Nebraska will not forget very soon how Bender's Haskell Indians gave the huskers one of the worst trounc , lngs In their history the only year the I little wlsard was at the head of the coaching system of the Indian school. Bark of Mender's desire to humble his a'ma mater la more prose than fiction. Bender wanted to be coach at Nebraska when Jumbo Stlehm was chosen to take charge of affairs. Admitting he was the cleverest foot ball man evr ' put out by th school, a large number of the alumni rebelled st the thought of Bender bnlng placed In charge, and his application re ceived, slight consideration. Johnny Ben der haa not forgotten and his season will virtually begin and end with the game next Saturday. Una Great Backfleld. Coach Jumbo Stlehm knows very little about the Aggies.
