MORE SECRET PRACTICE
VARSITY SUCCEED IN SOLVING
IOWA PLAYS USED BY
FRESHMEN.
HARD TWO HOUR SCRIMMAGE
Purdy, Rutherford, Mastln, Thompson,
Rosa and Abbott Stars In Mix-
up With Neophytes
Varsity Full of Pep.
(By H. V. HARLAN.)
For two long hours behind
locked gates yesterday nl'ernoon
the varsity stalwarts and Iresh
men battled in one of the hardest
scrimmages of the year. It was not
a repetition or the "Tag" scTinmmgV'
that was pulled oil' Tuesday. Not by
a long shot. It was the real article,
a fine exhibition of football as "she
is played."
At four o'clock to the tick Thomp
son kicked off to the Freshmen. Purdy
fell on the ball when fumbled.
The Cornhuskes, using .straight
football, scored a touch down In five
minutes. Line smashes by Ruther
ford, Purdy and Howard put the ball
in striking distance of the frost goal
line and Howard carried it over.
Varsity Solves Iowa Plays.
After the regulars hud scored one
marker the si rimmage see-sawed up
und down the field with either the var
sity or freshmen playing defensively
for ten or twelve minutes at a stretch.
The Fresh men used the Iowa plays,
including the much touted spread for
mation. Alter the varsity became ac
quainted with these strange lorma
tions they were able to stop them al
most every time. The times when
the varsity couldn't stop it was when
Chamberlain carried the ball. When
this human cyclone was given the
ball lie alwavs tore off five or ten
yards usually with from two to live
tacklers hanging to him.
This Iowa spread formation isn't
so hard to stop when a team learns
just what it is. With the training the
varsity received lust evening the
Cornliuskers should be proficient in
breaking it up in Saturday's game.
Line Plays Great On Defense.
After tin linemen had learned the
knack of bursting the spread forma
tion they played a wonderful defen
sive game . Time and again Mastln
circled around and in behind the for
mation and by fierce tackling broke
up the play before it had hardly got
ten under way. Abbott, Thompson
and Ross played star games. They
broke through the frost line many
times and killed the Iowa plays be
fore they were born.
The forward passses that the first
year men tried with the Iowa for
mations were broken up or intercepted
by Purdy, Rutherford und Howard.
The Huwkeyes will have hard sled
ding in making forward passes good
with the Cornliuskers. Those who
know are unanimous in saying that
the present Cornhusker backfield is
one of the brainiest in the west.
One peculiar part of the Iowa spread
formation is that the center does not
ENGINEERING STUDENT
IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
Clarke L. Ryan, Sophomore, Struck
In the Eye By Flying Piece of
Red-hot Metal.
Clarke L. Ryan, a sophomore In the
engineering college, was seriously in
jured yesterday afternoon while work
ing in the mechanic al engineering
laboratory. A piece of red hot iron
broke from the metal under a steam
hammer and struck the young man
almost squarely in the eye, inflicting
a serious burn on the eyeball and
searing tne surrounding nesn. Aieo
l( al attention was secured immediate
ly and everything possible done to
save the sight. It will be some time
however, before il is known definitely
just how severe the burn was and
whether Ryan will lose the sight of
one eve or not.
At the time of the accident he wts
working with a number of other stu
dents in the hammering of a six inch
block of iron. The metal was being
subjected to the crushing blows of
the big steam hammer when a small
piece flew off and struck Ryan who
was standing nearby. The injury was
purely accidental and not due to
carelessness in any sense. In working
with the big machines used in test
ing and laboratory experiments, ac
cidents are very liable to occur and it
is considered extremely fortunate that
CLASS FOOTBALL GAMES
POSTPONED TO NEXT WEEK
Athletic Management Refuses to Risk
Spoiling Field Before Big Game of
Season.
No class football games will be
plaved this Saturday. Although an
noun ements to the contrary were
made at first, it was found yesterday
that the field would not bo available
for the class games until after the
Iowa game in the afternoon. The
athletics management did not care to
risk the field to the double header
scheduled by the students, wishing to
have everything in the best possible
shape lor the last game of the season.
This will cause the postponement of
the Inter-class games" until tile early
part of next week.
All men are working hard for the
championship and the three games
promise to afford some real excite
ment for the followers of the pigskin.

Military Ball Comes
Soon After New Years
Sponsors Cause Trouble
The date for the Military ball, the
first big ull-Universlty formal party
of the year, bus been set for January
9, the first week after the Christinas
holdiduys. Further announcements
concerning the ball are yet to be made,
pending action by Allen and Johnson,
the managers.
In the mean time, it Is a sorry lot
of captains who are facing the re
sponsibility of choosing company
sponsors. The job of sponsors to a
company of some forty-old men seems
to be a ticklish proposition, and the
captuins are loth to thrust the honor
upon any fair co-eds who might not
appreciate the favor.
