ALUMNUS SENDS CLIPPING Kansas City Times Deals at Length on Approaching Game Will be the Big and Deciding Game of the Missouri Valley. The following letter and clipping epeak for themselves: Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 2, 1914. Sporting Editor, The Dally Nebraskan, Lincoln, Nebr. Dear Sir: The attached clipping is from the Kansas City Times of even date and may be of interest to you. There are several of us here who would give a good deal to get up to a game or eo but can't make it, we are however, pulling for Nebraska all the time. Yours very truly, WAYNE T. CARROLL, '12. "As a result of the Nebraska-Ames gam'a Jayhawker rooters probably have taken heart, figuring perhaps that the Cornhuskers aren't nearly so invincible as the Michigan Aggie game would Indicate. For 'three quarters the Iowa Aggies were ouf in front of thy vaunted Huskers, 7 to 3, but the Nebraskans turned in the final fifteen minutes and raced to a 20 to 7 victory. A week before Ames had whipped Mis souri, 6 to 0, and now the K. U. rooters possibly will figure that If Ames could hold Nebraska to three points la forty, five minutes of play the hefty Jay hawkers will have a good chance when they invade Lincoln November 14. "But there is another angle of the Nebraska-Ames game. The Stiehm roller was without the services of the versatile Potter, a fine quarter back and director of the lay. Potter is said to be out of the game on account of parental objections. Not until the last quarter, when Hawkins replaced Caley at quarar, did the Lincoln eleven start on its way to victory. Most certainly Potter was missed. Those who saw the Nebraskans at Manhattan will remember what a versatile whirlwind offense the Ne braskans turned loose against the Aggies. Also those who witnessed the Nebraska charge against the Wash- (Continued on page 2) r . WT A FRESHMANS NIGHTMARE ENJOYED BY ALL B I SJ I U. J I CLASSES EXCUSED TODAY.

TTn4mniTniIiTTTsiiiiii III : 1 I IT U mf i A SECRET PRACTICE STIEHM INSTRUCTS MEN BEHIND CLOSED GATES. SCRUBS BATTLE FRESHMEN Frosh Team Uses Forward Pass Ef fectively Cadets go Through Some Peculiar Maneuvers on the Field. By II. I. Kyle. Yesterday, for an hour, the coaches and the squad held a secret practice session, during which the varsity was instructed in the intricacies of several new plays, to be used against the beefy Jay hawkers, on November 14th, after which, the gates were thrown open to the public. The program for the rest of the afternoon was a spirited scrimmage between the scrubs and the freshmen, with the firstlings imitating the man euvers of the K. U. bunch, as Hoeffel saw them in the Kansas-Oklahoma gam'ei, last Saturday. Contrary to ex pectations, the Freshmen used the for ward pass repeatedly, sandwiching with wide end runs, and off-tackle plays. Straight line bucks were tried only when the goal was in sight. Johnny Cook, operator of the Frosh juggernaut, suffered the misfortune of having his sweater torn from his hack, early in the encounter, necessitating his removal from the scene of action. Jbhnny's splendidly developed .back and shoulder muscles were tine1 subject of much admiring comment, as he left the field. "Midget" Kelly went in as quarter, and executed several long end run3, while the scrubs wre standing around, wailing "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly," or words to that effect. Meanwhile the regulars enjoyed the superlative pleasure of watching some body else do it. They strode proudly down the field, in the wake of the bat tle, commenting, critically, on the plays and players before them. After a time, Coach Stiehm assenv bled his varsity machine, and chased it through a stiff signal practice.
