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.
