SCRIMMAGE YESTERDAY
JOY IN CAMP OVER RETURN OF
ROSS, LEFT GUARD.
WASHBURN'S STRENGTH MYSTERY
First Game of Season Saturday
Promises to Be Stiff.
THOSE RED TAGS-HELP
YOUR FEM-FRIENDS TODAY
Thr Cornhuskers football stalwart
put in a hard practice yesterday aft
ernoon at the State Farm. With gratl
fying results. The exercises ranged
fro in a to izzard. from elementary
loot ball to a twenty-minute scrimmage.
wlTti tho freshmen. Amr-thr Munnyr
shinning, scinlilating outcome was
due to the tact that no more cripples
were added to the overburdened hos
pital list, and that that line of ours
looks more and more like a winner.
Clint Ross, Lineman, Back In
Moleskins.
Another cause of joy was the ap
pearance of Clint Ross in his old
stamping ground, left guard. Ross
was a tower of strength in last year's
mighty machine. His two hundred
pounds will bolster up the line in
great shape.
Stiehm, the wonder worker, is put
ting the squad through Its stlffest
paces They aro on the jump from
start to finish The W. W. played both
Ik'ck and Tov.le at the executive job
With Towle at quarter, Beck holds
down left end. And with Beck in
command, Howard moves from full
back to left end, Coffee working at
full.
Varsity Scores Two Touchdowns.
The varsity-freshman scrimmage
was snappy and fast. The cornhusker
team, while kicking a good deal of
the time, found time to walk through
the freshmen for two touchdowns.
The line is gradually smoothing off
the rough corners and at times was
able to rip great holes in the fresh
men defense.
It is a joy to watch that back field
plunge through the line and romp
around the wings. Purely and Ruther
ford make a great brace of ground
gainers. Both Howard and Coffee are
plajing a fine game at full back. As
ai" also Beck and Towle at quarter.
Washburn's Strength Unknown.
With the Washburn game but three
days off, little is known of the
strength of the team from Topeka.
The Congiegational lads have it on
us as far a practice is concerned,
for Washburn started a couple of
weeks sooner than the University. The
Cornhuskeis are not looking for a
snap and probably would bo very
much surprised if they did. Wash
burn can be counted on to put up
a stiff game. Washburn has an oc
casional habit of besting Kansas and
Missouri. The game promises to be
well worth the seeing.
The line up for the first game is
problematical. Rutherford and Purdy
are fixtures at the halves. Howard
will probably start at full and Towle
at quarter. Erwin at center, Shields
and Halligan at tackles, Ross at left
guard, Mastin and Beck at ends will
undoubtedly fill the line up, leaving
one guard to be accounted for.
Thirty-five Cents Each Proceeds
Take Care of Sick Co-eds.
What is it? It's tag day. T'wont
be long and you'll see. The tags are
red and every young woman Is sup
posed to have one. The only consider
ation is a payment of 35 cents which
is for a purpose that will be of great
benefit to young ladies in school who
take sick and nre not able to take
care of themselves.

one desires to use any other part or
