Expected.
Hard, fast scrimmage, In which the
varsity team showed up to the best
advantage of the season, was the fea
ture of yeBterday'B practice on Ne
braska flleld. Three touchdowns
were made on the scrubs In rapid suc
cession, two on end runs by Franck
and Beltzer and one on some good
hard line plunging by the backs and
tackles.
Although a very hard wind was
blowing, tfte men seemed to enjoy the
hard work and dug-ln for all that was
in thero, The weather was a little
cooler than it has been, and this, to
gether with the fact that the grounds
had b'oon aprlnglei made the work less,
disagreeable and infused a little more
ginger Into the men.

There was, no stopping the varsity
yesterday. Coach Cole sept In the sec

sent Beltzer over for a touchdown on
a clean end run around rlgnt ona.
Then again after a few minutes' fierce
line plunging In which the varsity lit

Franck was sent around left end for
another touchdown.
This was enough and Cole then sent

the team that has been showing the
