Third Year Men First of Class Organ
izations to Put Squad In the
FleW, With Dick RUssell
as Manager.
Still stiff and soro from the effects
of the Minnesota gamo, the Cornhusk
era hare begun llnibeflng up tor tho
game with Iowa which comes off next
Saturday.
All of tho men with the exception of
Bentley have practically recoyored
irom. the. effects of Saturday's contest,
but- they are still taking it easy.
tietftley suffered a severe' wrench 'in
the back in Saturday's game. So far
ho has not beeti out to practice, but tie
will be in shape for tho Iowa game. .
So far thls-woek tho .varsity has
been, given ilght work. The first, teata
tiaVd b66tt running signals mostly, white
tho brunt of the scrimmage has fallen
on the second varsity. On Monday
the" varsity" did hot scrimmage at art.
Yesterday they were pUt through a Ut
ile light work, but most of tho time
was spent in perfecting new forma
tions, j,
Sfccbnd Team Fight Scrubs.
4 Yesterday afternoon the second van
Sl,ty were pitted against the scrubs.
he1 teams were fairly evenly matched,
but the varsity had slightly the advan
tage, making thrdb touchdown to the
scrubs' two. Elliott and Dobson for
the varsity played spectacular ball.
Etlliott especially distinguished him
self by tearing up the scrub defense.
The scrubB have beeh glvoh a ttow
set of signals tills week oil the drder
o'f the 16w& offense. They consist
(Jhlofly of tackle around formations.
These plays will be used against the
varsity line this week to give them
some acquaintance with the Iowa style
of'offenBe.
, Nebraska ought to have no trouble
in winning next Saturday's contest.
So far this season Iowa has not made
a very good showing. Coach Griffith,
however, may spring a surprise sim
ilar to the Corhhusker stunt of last
Saturday, , -..
New Back-Field Man.
Lofgren Is back in the game this
wdek and is playing quarter on the var
sity. Coach Colo 1b making every
shift noBSible to try to build up a
strong back-field. With Franck play
ing half there is only one man who
can be depended on to hold down the
quarter backpbsitlon. Bentley. waB 'in
jured in Saturday's game and Lofgren
. and Hascall may be called on for Sat
urday's game.
The junior class team were out for
their regular practice yesterday. So
far they are the only team out. The
sophomores wlll have' a strong team,
but .owing to, the latqness or. tne elec
