HUNTER, Guard.
One day, a couple of years ago, there
ambled up to the University from the
Lincoln High School a great tall, well
built fellow, by tho name of Mason.
"Cy" Mason. Ho had played on the
High School team for three years at
both tackle and end and like Alexander
of old sighed for new fields he found
them here.
Ivast year he played on the 'Varsity

ho wns put right back in the same old
plnro this year.
IIo Is always in the game, both on
tho offensive and defensive and the
man against whom he is playing al
ways knows it.
Cotton is a Cornhusker clear to tho
marrow of his bones and has In him
that indescribable something which
characterizes all of Nebraska's men.
His homo is in Syracuse, where he
played for two years on tho High
School team as fullback.
Last year was his first in tho Uni
versity, and he made tho 'Varsity, play
ing in tho line at guard.
His playing wns and is strong and
aggressive and with his weight ho has
done much toward strengthening tho
Nebraska line.
He is a hard consistent worker, and
plays the game for the sake of the
game, which is the secret of all suc
cessful football playing.

EAGER, Halfback.
Hunter comes from Kansas from
Blue Rapids, Kansas. We're very glad
he didn't play against instead of with
Nebraska in our games against the
team from his native state.
In the sunny land from whence ho
came tootball never claimed his atten
tion, and not until he became a stu
dent here was he initiated into the
mysteries of the pig skin.
Jttst year was his first In the game,
and well and valiantly did he mako up
for lost time. Ho started In at guard
and stayed there, guarding most nobly
the sacred goal of Nebraska.
His playing last year was exception
ally good and he early proved his apti
tude by tho manner in which he en
tered into the game.
He has played tho position of right
guard on this year'B team and done
splendid work. Wo earnestly hope
that ho may bo hero for some Bra
sons yet to come. ,
Eager's name Is one with which all
lovers of the game are familiar and It
has a very pleasant sound. He Is nn
old Lincoln High S hool man, liming
played three years on that team.
This makes his third year in Nebras
ka football and wo sincerely hope he
will add one more.
He played last year as substitute
half and has been playing this year
in the position of loft half. His offen
sive work Is consistent and good and
his defensive play is Btrong and tell
ing. Marsh hails from Omaha and was
one of the best halves that that High
School ever developed. Ho played for
three years on the team at right half
and mado a good namo for himself.
Iist year ho played on tho 'Varsity
second team and mado a good show
ing. This year he has been a substitute
for left half and whenever In tho
gamo proved himself to bo a suro
ground gainer.
MARSH.
He is qui( k to see an opening and to
take advantage of it.
Glen Masop came to the University
from the Lincoln High School, where
he has played for two years at left end.
He made the 'Varsity early In the
season, filling the position of fullback
with great credit.
His work Is to be highly comended
along all lines. He has done much to
ward strengthening tho Nebraska back
field, and plays the game till the last
whistle blows.
Wo are hoping that next year will
see him back In the same position.
Perry, a now man ths year, comes
from Norfolk, Neb. He played for four
years on the High School team of that
place, during which time he played
seven games.
He has been playing right tackle on
the 'Varsity this year and his work
has been of a high standard. He is
short and chunky, but by no means

Robertson, also a new man HiIb

played for three years on the High
School team, being captain of that
team last yc ar.
He is tall strong and very speedy,
