school to make a winning eleven ftj

Iii spite of hot weather a large squad
ot foot ball candidates has been engag

Field for the past two weeks In prepar

most Successful (gridiron season ul

This year's squad contains nbout as
many men as any early season bunch of
recerii years has had, but is lacking
in the number of veterans. This scar
city of old material Is offset, however,
by (ho largo number of new men at
prnqf ice who are eligible and who are
promlalug candidates. Among the old
" men pt the 1907 eleven, who have re
turned to practice tire Weller (captain
of this year's, team) Chaloupka, Har
yiy, Cpok, Matters; and Craig. 'Little,
R,lc'o and Denslow are eligible and

Both tho veterans and the hew can

ever and Is doing some excellent punt

pounds to their frame a this summer
and are exhibiting much "tear 'cm up'

who give promise of doing big things.

ing an excellent showing. A brother
of Gil McDonald Is trying for an end
position and gives promise ufgood
playing. Other candidates who are
doing fine work are Hart, a tackle;
Beltzer. a fullback; Ewlng, a tackle
of last ear's squad; Frum. a guard;
Johnson, a tackle, and Kroger, a guard.
The earl season showing of the
squad has put joy Into the hearts of
many of the Cornhuskers' supporters.
The followers of the work of the Ne
braska men. with ft-w exceptions, art
optimistic In their opinions of the pros
pects for a successful eleven and be
lieve the Cornhuskirs will be a win
ning bunch. Among the men who have
charge of football there la a hopeful
tone, which.. however, la not burdened
with false optimism, for (as the opin
ions published at. the head of this ar
ticle show) these men realize that
every eligible football man In school
must get out for practice In order to
make the 1907 a winner. They are
urging all available players to get uni
forms from Manager Eager and Join
the squad. They say a large bunch of
candidates will give Nebraska one of
the best teams ehe has ever had.
