UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1903.
No. J 30.
INDIANS TODAY.
An Exciting Game Promised by
Manager Greene.
The baseball field will this afternoon
be the scene of the big Indian base
ball game. Nebraska meets her old
and dreaded foe, the Nebraska In
dians, on Nebraska Field. The an
nouncement of this game always brings
forth a very large crowd. Many go
for the sake of seeing the Indians
alone. Others attend in order to see
a good article of the national game
If predictions are correct, neither class
will leave the grounds dissatisfied to
day. Beltzer, Nebraska's star twirler,
will be saved for tomorrow's game.
Longaneckcr and Morse will fill the
box today.
Nebraska will line up the strongest
nine of the season for these games.
Steen, who was tried out for short in
the first of the season, will officiate at
second where he has been doing some
nice work of late. The fielders will
be Captain Townsend, Sheimer and
Bell. The other men will play their
usual positions.
Nebraska will have the advantage
of longer practice. Manager Green
has only had his men at work for two
weeks. This disadvantage will, how
ever, bo offset y the fact that the
redskins make a business of playing
ball and are secured by the manager
from various parts of the United
States for that purpose.
The outcome of today's game Is dif
ficult to prophecy. Captain Townsend
andr-Manager Greene expressed them
selvesyesterday as in doubt concern
ing the result, but both said "We are
in to win, and will do It if wo can."
Nebraska has won ten games out of
eleven, being defeated only by the
Omaha league team, which Is no dis
grace. She defeated Kansas twice by
a majority of twenty points and Omaha

once by a score of to 2. Tbis Is cer
tainly evidence that the Cornhuskers
can play ball.
The Indians, twelve strong ten In
dians and two white men arrived In
Lincoln last night with two Wahoo
scalps at their belts. On Wednesday
they defeated Wahoo by a score of 11
to 2, and yesterday administered a
shutout and made eleven points them
selves. In all they have wone seven
out of eight games. Among those they
have vanquished are Wesleyan, lf to 4;
Havelock, 17 to 3; Valley, 1) to 2, and
Memphis, 9 to 2.
Iast year Nebraska won from the
redBklns by a score of 13 to 5, but an
injury to their catcher caused him to
retire early in the game, and weakened
the team considerably. No such mis
hap Is very likely to occur again.
Nebraska has two twirlers for to
day, and the Indian team has the
copious supply of five. If Nebraska
hits one. Captain Short Bull will like
ly put in another. Manager Greens
says: "They are the best pitchers I
ever had. Four of them are among
the best going." The line-up:

"Open Formation " or "Mass Plays"?
Nebraska Opinions on This Controverted Subject Seem to Favor the Latter
Just at present there Is considerable
discussion among those Interested In
football concerning the movement In
favor of a more open game. In an at
tempt to arrive at the concensus of
opinion at our University a number
of men Interested In the great college
game have been Interviewed and we
herewith present their views.
Librarian Wyer believes the game
can be improved by amending the rules
so as to require seven men in the line
for every play. Along with this change
ho would increase the distance to be
gained from five to ten yards, and the
number of downs from three to four.
Mass plays are very wearing on the
teams and the more open game, result
ing from the suggested changes, would
be more interesting to the spectators,
and would disarm those who criticize
the game on the ground that it is
brutal.
Dr. Pound says the open game would
be better from the standpoint of the
spectator, but the players are better
judges of the way lu which the game
ought to be played. We ought to be
very conservative in making changes.
More men get hurt in the open field
than in mass plays and therefore the
open game would not accomplish what
is expected of it. Good generalship
and physical fitness are necessary in a
team as the game is now played. The
training is the important thing. A
great deal of the criticism concerning
football Is due to the exaggerated
stories In the newspapers about pro
fessionalism and such toplcB. The peo
ple, however, are becoming more fa
miliar with the poIntB of the game
and appreciate its many admirable
qualities.
Ex-Captain John Westover gxpressed
himself as follows:
"Having been asked If I believed in
a more open game of football as a
means of doing away with the Injuries
now received by playing the game as it
Is now played, I will say this: Foot
ball as played at present is but the
natural development of the game. At
first we had the old flying wedge,
which gained a reputation for killing
off men. It was done away with, and
the kicking and open game with its
end luns was developed. Attention
wab not paid so much to team work
on the offei'Blve, but Individual work
was encouraged. The defense was de
veloped to such an extent In the few
years following, that the offense of the
old Btle waB no longer of any avail,
so the new stylo of Blow moving masB
plays., In which the whole team took
part, was developed. The object was
to hide the ball and also to have a
tremendous weight to advance It at the
same time. Heavy leather helmets
player could act as a battering ram
to break up these mass plays; they
