CANDIDATES TO SELECT SIDES
With ono of the strongest freshman
teams tho university has over had tho
coaches aro planning an Innovation in
tho way of Cornhusker football a
regularly scheduled varsity-freshman
gamo. Tho date has not been decid
ed upon, but unless something goes

of this kind, with chanceB good In
favor of Its being made an annual

Tho principal reason for this deci
sion on the part of the coacheB Is that
under tho Missouri Valley rules a col
lofo freshman team cannot play games
outsldo tho school. Unless a game of
thlB kind Ib arranged, with the prevail
ing lack of Interest In class football
rivalry, It would be Impossible for the
freshmen to get Into action except In
scrlmmago practice.

ten dnya ago that ho would bo a can

thought ho would havo aomo opposi

no Junior has como out against him,
and it Is not nt all probaUlo that a
dark horse will break looso between

must bo cast. Mnny class loadora aro
