Wo will Rot tho ball rolling with Hondor. Ho comes from Sutton, Nob., whoro ho played for ono yoar on the High School toam In tho position of right half. When ho came hero it may bo wild that ho was a now man at tho game- thin sounds stiange. How ever, he took to football like tho babloB do to Castorla. and playod on the 'Var Hlty IiIh first year, making an excellent record. HIh playing last year at loft half waa one of tho features of the football year, and he has more than sustained his reputation as captain. of tho I'M).' team. In all tho western football Held he has no equal. Wherever he goes tho coaches are lavish In their praise of his merits. Ho deserves every bit that ho receives and Nebraska will only Tully appreciate his groat value when ho Is gone. I ESH, C.uaid. Benedict, Mender's running male, came to the University from the Lin (oldn High School last year, bringing witli him a gilt-edged reputation. He played for three years on the High School team, two In the position of quarterback and one at left half. I ast year as quarterback for the Uni ersity team he achieved great honors. His sureness, speed and punting were his three chief characteristics. Seldom has he met his equal as a punter and tr few in numbers are those who hae excelled hjm. His work this year has most cer tainly been up to his high standard. He began tho season at left half, but was later transfered to right end, where ho has plajod through all the contests a star game. He also has some bouquets coming to him Borg, the center, has proved a most Korious stumbling block to all oppo nents. He is also one of t,ho men who played on last year's team- that was the team that "walloped" Minnesota. His work during last year was ex el lent and has borne the same stamp dur ing this season. He is another man who never played football until he came to tho Universi ty and not until the Sophomore yoar did he get out at all. , As a center he has proven himself one hard to beat. He handles tho ball well and responds beautifully to the rooters' croy of "Stonewall! "Stone wall." The name of this man comes ringing down the seasons to us with a good reputation behind it, the name of Boll, Jim Hell Before coming to the University ho spent ono year at Hastings College, whore ho played on tho team as left half. His work since his advent hero has BENEDICT END been of the highest order and while not a brilliant player ho has boon ono on whom you could put absolute depend ence. When the critical moment came and thoio was needed a yard or two, Bell was tho man to make it. He has occupied the same position for two years, that of right half, and has filled it nobly. Ringer has not been out very much this year and only played in one game that with Illinois. He has, however, been very helpful in assisting Coach Booth with the coaching of the team Ringer had two years on the Lincoln High School team before coming to the University, so was by no means unfa miliar with tho game. He played last year at guard and was an exceptionally strong man. He filled the same position in tho same old way In tho one game in which he played this year. RINGER C.UAItn. I.esh, who has born playing his first ear hero, is fiom York, whore for thiee years ho plajod on the High School team in the position of left half. His playing heio has been in the line at guard and ho is onto his job. He goes into the game like ho meant busi ness and keeps it up all the while. He. has a very promising football career before him. rlKai'VB ji-t "... m- .Hnl ' BORG, Center. ? osa
