Oray, right guard.
Y. Kositzky, right tackle.
Kiddcll, right end.
Cook, Kelly, quarterback.
(lardiner, Otterstein, right halfback.
Iloadly, Procter, loft halfback.
Otopalik, Mallony, fullback.
There is not one of these men but will
make a strong bid for a position on the
varsity eleven in a year or two. Otopalik
is one of the best line plungers seen at
Nebraska in recent years, and his hard,
sure tackling on defense mark him as a
splendid, all around player. (lardiner
is also a good ground-gainer through the
line, but shows up even better on end
runs, being very fast and sure-footed.
He is also an adept at catching forward
passes. Iloadley, Procter and Otterstein
are all good, dependable backfielders,
who, with a little more experience, will
make names for themselves in the Corn
husker hall of fame.
The freshman team is fortunate in hav
ing two star quarterbacks, Cook and
Kelly. Johnny Cook, who bails from
Peatrice, is a cool, heady general, a sure
safety-man, besides being able to take his
turn with the rest of them at lugging
the ball. Kelly, though very light, is a
streak on the offensive, and a nervy and
able tackier on defense. lie has gained
his share of ground against the varsity
this year.
The ends, Riddell and Kositzky, are
both big strong fellows, who seldom fail
to dump the opposing interference and
get the runner when he comes their way.
Shaw is an unusually aggressive tackle.
He is constantly breaking up plays for
the opposing team before they are well
started. Kositzky, at the other tackle
position, is a strong defensive player,
who bas made the famous off-tackle plays
of the varsity very unpopular, through
his position, dray, the right guard, is a
giant in size, his weight being 230
pounds. With experience he will make
a wonderful guard for Nebraska. Hughey
and derke are both faithful performers
at left guard, who have held up their
side against the varsity in splendid fash
ion. Moser, the ex-Omaha High School
center, has proved a bug-bear to the
regulars all season by diving over the
line and nailing the quarterback before
he has time to pass the ball.
The freshmen have given the Corn
huskers invaluable practice, by using the
plays of our opponents, thus familiariz
ing the varsity team with the style of
play they may expect when they meet
those opponents. They have struggled
through long scrimmage sessions with no
immediate reward in view, except the re
flected glory that comes from varsity
victories, and they are deserving of our
unstinted praise.
ALL-MISSOURI VALLEY ELEVEN
By H. I. Kyle.
The picking of an all-Missouri Valhy
conference eleven must, of neeessily, e
nothing better than a rank guess at this
stage of the season. With the Kansas
Nebraska and the Missouri-Kansas games
yet to be played, it is utterly impossiM
to say, with any certainty, who may
prove to be the stars of the Valley at
the close of the serson. On the showing
of various teams to date, however, it is
clear that Nebraska and Kansas should
furnish a majority of the mythical, all
star team.
We suggest the following lineup:
Ends Reber, K. U. and Packer, Ames.
Tackles Halligan, Nebraska, and Bur
in, K. r.
(Juards Abbott, Nebraska, and droves,
Missouri.
Center Cameron, Nebraska.
Quarterback Potter, Nebraska.
Halfbacks Rutherford, Nebraska, and
Cray, K. U.
Fullback Uhl, Ames.
I am not going to discuss the merits
of these men, nor the why and wherefor
of my choices for the various positions.
1 am not going' to tell you why 1 picked
a Missouri tackle to be an all-conference
guard. All I ask is that my readers will
withhold judgment until the close of the
season, and that they then compare the
personnel of the team suggested above
with that of the all-Valley eleven, as
named by football authorities of this
region.
NEBRASKA'S GREAT RECORD.
1906.
JACK BEST, TRAINER
By D. W. Swarr.
Teams may come and teams may go,
but Jack liest, our veteran trainer, is
always on hand to do his duty. His term
of service at Nebraska has now passed
the quarter century mark. May it long
continue !
The part played by Jack in his minis
trations to our gridiron heroes cannot
be overestimated. His skill has been
proven consumate, his spirit unquench
able, his loyalty undying. A sturdy ex
ample of clean living, an ardent exponent
of clean sports, he must be given a large
share of the credit as one of the men that
lias brought Nebraska to the front in Ihe
football wo 1.
STIEHM, THE WONDER-WORKER
There are few football authorities to
day who, in picking the first five teams
of the country, would omit the Cornhmk
ers from the list. Even in the East, Ne
braska's team has been recognized as
one worthy to stand with Harvard and
Princeton, in the front rank of football,
while in the Middle West she has become
a source of much worry to such gridiron
aristocrats as Chicago, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota.
What is responsible for our exalted
position in the football world? To whom
should go the credit for our long and
unbroken string of victories?
Kwald O. Stiehm has earned for him
self the enviable title of "wonder
worker." He has, in his three years and
a fraction at Nebraska, produced three
Missouri Valley champions, and is now
well on his way toward a fourth. Since
he has had charge of the coaching of the
Cornhuskers, they have lost just two
games. loth to Minnesota, and have been
tied three times, by Ames, by Michigan
and by South Dakota, respectively. Twenty-five
times in the past four years has
Stiehm 's team been returned the victor.
Out of the thirty games played, the
Cornhuskers have held their opponents
scoreless in fifteen, and have failed to
score themselves in but two. In the four
years Nebraska has piled up a total of
7o'S points to 119 points for her oppon
ents, an average of over 25 points per
game for Nebraska, as against 4 for her
rivals.
The record of a man's work is the best
criterion by which to judge his efficiency.
A review of Stiehm's record at Nebraska
is the tribute we offer. As Nebraska ex
pands, and meets stronger rivals, reverses
are bound to come, but let no layal Corn
busker forget that he who has put us at
the top will give his best to keep xis
there.
