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-

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.
Hawkins doing the calling, until the
sun went down, and the cowp came
home, and thee hickens went to loost;
then he alowed them to retire to the
bath house.
