Stewart1 Trick of Keeping Mc
Mahon and Kellogg Under
Cover Lends Air of Uncer
tainty to Future Games.
N By FRED S. HUNTER.
Nebraska's showing in the clash with
- Notre - Dame Saturday leaves one a
bit mystified as to the true merit of
Stewarts Huskers and forecasts on
future conflicts rather difficult to make.
- Stewart upset calculations in the
Notre Dame game by keeping Harold
McMahon and, Stanley Kellogg under
cover., No doiAt his purpose was to
, deciyre a ttio of hostile scouts who
were in the stands and if such is the
case he was successful for the scouts
-never hada chance to get a line on
the Huskers.'; ''v " ' .r
But the scouts are.not the only ones
. i at loss. Cornhusker supporters are as
nncertaiA of the real strength of Stew-
art's proteges as (the scouts.
I Must Show Improvement.'
- If the Cornhuskers are no more
formidable against Michigan and Syr.
acuse than they were against the
Hoosiers, two defeats will be' marked
down against the Huskers in the 1917
records. . . '
t The Cornhuskers, did no play the
same kind of game agaittst Notre
Dame as they did against Iowa. This,
of course, may have , been because
Notre Dame is a much superior elev
in to Iowa. But Nebraska should
have played better ball. I
i The Cornhusker line was almost
impregnable against Hoosler attacks,
but when the Cornhuskers were doing
the attacking, the line seemed weaker
and occasionally it crumpled corrH
pletely with the result that even sucn
powerful backfield men as Schellen
berg and Dobson were thrown back.
' Break op Interference.
. Time and again the Hoosler line
broke through and corrupted the Hui
ker interference and made it Impos
sible for the man arrying the baft to
gain. ? '
- The, too, the Nebraska backs were
slow in starting many times, Johnny
Vook was especially at fault Johnson
just couldn't get under way and with
one execution when he returned a
punt 35 yards when he had plenty of I
time to start, jonnny.maae no gams
Saturday. Usually he is a fairly con
sistent performer. . .
f Cook also seemed to lack decision
in calling signals and this slowed up
the Cornhusker offensive. . (

Germany Mobilized Its Troops m
Fortnight Before War Declared
Newark, N. J., Oct. 21. Conclusive evidence that Germany mobilized
its forces long before the date on which it admits having done so has been
obtained fv the arrest bv Department of Justice aeenta of Christorhef
rSchnurrer, a graduate of the University of Leipsic, it was announced' here
toaay. ... , ,-:--:.,-,x ., . , ' ...... . .
In Schnurrer's effects was found a card Issued by the imperial Ger
man government directing him to report for military duty on July 17, 1914,
a fortnight before Germany started hostilities on the plea that Russia al
ready was mobilizing. Germany was obliged to admit that some pi its
troops were on Belgian soil" early in August, but the Germans have insisted
their mobilization did not begin until the latter part of July, or when Rus
sia was found to be preparing. itself. I v V ' Vv , ; ,

Nebraska will unquestionably be r!i.!. ni. J i V
r1 against Michigan- than riusiiiuiiuns riays nara. ,
stroiKei
against Notre Dame. Stewart will use
six backheld men against the wolver-'
ines'as against, four in the lloosier
conflict and the two added starters.
McMahon and Kellogg, will improve
upon the first" four.
McMahon, it 'is probable, will be
' used in conjunction ' with Cook. If
McMahon is the man he is said to be,
this will strengthen the attack. . The
' Lincoln lad ife reputed to be the class
of the team at carrying flw ball and a
' wondefon end runs. He Is also a
wizard at hurling the forward pass
and it wiUbe when McMahon is run
ning the team that the Huskers will
resort to the open game. Kellogg is
another backfield man of. the sensa-
tional type who gets away for long
runs. Alternating his six backfield
men. Stewart should present a far
j-tronger eleven against Michigan than
" Notre Dame.- . :. " i
The line, too. should be stronger.
Riddell should be back in condition
by next Saturday. He played a part
of the game Saturday, but his knee
.still bothered him. Hubka also left,
the hospital to play and he should be
in the pink, in the game with the
Wolverines. ; ; ' ,
Michigan Is Mystery.
The strength f the Wolverines is
a mystery. Early reports were that
,. Michigan lost heavily to the army, had
only a few average plajtrs and was
woefully weak. Later reports, how
ever, indicate Yost has" one, of the
best teams in recent years and that
'. the usually pessimistic coach admits it
himself. - -
That being the case. the.Cornhusk--ers
will face a much stronger eleven
. than Notre Dame ne$t Saturday and
will have to play a much better game.
Nebraska should win. : but the
atmesphere of uncertainty surround
ing1 both ' Nebraska and Michigan
makes it a safer bet to lay off. ! . . '
" Missouri valley results indicate tb6
, Cornhuskers should have no trouble
copping the '-conference title again.
Missouri is absolutely out of the run
ning. , Ames and Kansas Aggies both
have walloped the Tigers and
Schulte's men should be easy meat for
'.. Nebraska. Kansas also looks-weak
and pickings for the Huskers. f ;
, Syracuse, the ea$tn college Ne
braska plays Thanksgiving, went
down to defeat before Pittsburgh, but
this should inspire no overconfidence
' among Husker supporters. Pittsburgh)
is the class of the ast-this year, as
it was in 1915 and 1916, and probably
will win the eastern championship
again. A better line pn Syracuse can
k be obtained from future games. ,
