BASKETBALL PROSPECTS
GROWING DARKER DAILY
tack of Material Continues to
Worry Coach
FIRST GAME JANUARY 19
Only Three Weeks' to Prepare Inex
perienced Men for Funston Battle
Every Athlete Should Help
Prospects for a winning Comhusk
er basketball team this year are
growing darker with every practice.
All but two of last year's men are
gone; there is not enough material
on hand for this season, and the
material that . is out is sadly inex
perienced. Of last year's squad, Captain Rid
dell and Cable Jackson are the only
men left. The others either gradu
- ated last spring, or have entered into
war service of some kind. Riddell
w''l probably be out of the game for
the entire season, on account of in
juries received in football this fall.
Jackson the other veteran, has
already cinched his place on the
team and is developing form that
should rank him among the best of
the conference forwards for the year.
He Is fast on his feet, uses his
head well, and is a sure basket shot.
Of the other candidates, Schellen
berg and Kellogg are showing up
well Schellenberg Is at present out
of the game with football injuries,
but will be back in earnest soon.
There are several others who will
make good men after they have had
the necessary experience, but who
will not show up very well this sea
son. Men Should Support
To make matters worse, there are
several men in school who are real
basketball players, but who are not
out for the team. Last night there
were about twenty-five men out, the
largest number of the season. Coach
Stewart is already under the handi
cap of having nothing but green
material to work with, and if he is
to develop any kind of a team he
must have more candidates out for
both teams. Fifty would be none
too many. And he must have these
men at once. The first game of the
season will probably be on January
19th, leaving the squad only about
three weeks of practice. This game
will be with an army team from
Camp Funston. After that the team
will enter into an unusually stiff
aohorinio inHiirHnf e-ames with Kan
sas. Kansas' "Aggies," Missouri,
Washington, Drake, Ames and sev
eral other teams, all of them with
strong teams.
On the other hand, the freshman
team this year is all that could be
wished for. Every man was a high
school star last, and they are all
working together smoothly. In last
night's scrimmage, they bested the
varsity in every department of the
game. They were superior in of
fense and defense, and their team
work was all that could be expected
at this stage of the season. Two
more high school stars from last
year have announced their intention
of getting out fo the team, and it
js probable that the first-year men
will soon be able lo give the varsity
a sound drubbing daily.
STEWART ISSUES FIRST
CALL FOR TRACK MEN
Athletes Asked to Meet in
Coach's Office at 11 O'clock
This Morning
Coach Stewart has issued iis first
call for 1918 track. -
This morning at 11 o'clock in the
coach's office there will be a meeting
of all men Interested In track to dis
cuss the possibilities for the coming
spring. All men who have any ambi
tion to become runners, Jumpers, hurd
lers, vaulters or shot-putters should
at this meeting, according to Doc
tor Stewart as it will be Important
A scheme is being gotten underway
jy the coach whereby the student
body will have a chance to provide
ome money to help secure athletic
equipment for Camp Dodge and Camp
mston. The coach will schedule
basketball games on the home floor
with each of these teams if he can
depend upon the student body to turn
out in large numbers to see them.
The student tickets will not be good
for these games as the money is need
ed by the soldiers, and every one will
be charged the regular 50-cent rate.
The coach believes that the cause
is a worthy one as all the camps have
been paying a great deal of attention
to athletics and are in need of proper
equipment.
Three Nebraska captains are regu
lar members of the Camp Dodge team.
Henry Campbell and Harvey Nelson
of last year's team are playing for
wards and Ed Hugg, a guard of two
years ago, is playing one of the guard
positions. They have started the sea
son by defeating three Iowa college
teams, including Ames and Drake, two
teams on the Comhusker schedule.

Two More Cornhuskers
Enter Country's Service
The two following men are reported
to have enlisted in the service last
Friday, December 14. Both have
withdrawn from the University:
Frederick N. Wells, enlisted in the
signal corps.
H. Parmenter, enlisted in the avia
tion section.
Law College Responds to
Nation's Call for Men
The law " school again responds to
the nation's call for men. Members
of the college have been dropping
their courses from time to time since
the beginning of school this year
and during the last week seven more
withdrew to join the service.
The law college with the engineer
ing college ranks highest in the Uni
versity in the percentage of students
which it has contributed to the serv
ice during the present struggle. Ac
cording to the American Law Re
view the Nebraska college of law
suffered last year a decrease in en
rollment of 37 per cent, but this has
been greatly augmented by the later
withdrawals which were not taken
into account.
After the draft has taken its toll
and those already enlisted are
figured in the records the average
will no doubt take on greater pro
portions. with their addresses. Yesterday's
rsity has had no previous record will

HEAYY SCHEDULE IN
STORE FOR HUSKERS
Coach Stewart Secures Big
Teams for Gridiron Contests
BIG TEN GAME PROBABLE
Notre Dame and Syracuse Here
Again Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas on List
No sooner was the Syracuse game
finished on Thanksgiving Day than
Coach Stewart . immediately started
on the trail of next year's schedule.
In fact, three games had been ar
ranged for before the big battle on
Turkey Day. The Syracuse eleven
was lined up for another game next
year, before it had left Lincoln fol
lowing this year's battle.
Iowa, Kansas and Missouri are al
ready on the schedule and many
other schools are being considered.
Some big surprises will be forthcom- ,
Ing .when it is known Just what
teams will be on the schedule for
next year. Coach Stewart returned
from his week-end visit to Chicago
with the news that he would have
at least one Big Ten game outside
of Iowa. Just what team he is ex
pecting to line-up was not given out
by the coach, but it is known to be
one of the largest in the confer
ence. This game will be played in
Lincoln on November 23.
May Have Eastern Game
When the coach goes east dur
ing the Christmas vacation he will in
all probability line-up one of the
biggest eastern teams for a game In
Lincoln early in the year. Michigan
could not come to Nebraska next
year because of her obligation to the
Big Ten and the coach is looking
for a game to take her place. Among
thp. schools to be asked for games
will be Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech.,
Pennsylvania and Washington and
Jefferson, the schools with the best
teams in the east this year.
Notre Dame will probably be on
he schedule again next year, al
though the coach does not like the
attitude the Catholic coach took fol
lowing his defeat here this year and
may seek a team to put in its place.
In addition to all these a game
with a far western team will be ar
ranged for Lincoln if satisfactory
dates can be fixed up. California,
Washington, Washington State, Ore
gon and Oregon Aggies, are being
considered for this game. Washing
ton State was the champion team of
the coast this year and would make
the best opponent next year, prob
ably. The Probable Schedule
If the coach carries out his pres
ent plans the schedule for next year
will look something like this:
October 5 Preparatory game, prob
ably Wesleyan.
October 12 Iowa at either Iowa
City or Lincoln. Doctor Stewart to
have choice.
October 19 Far western team.
October 26 Notre Dame or east
ern team.
November 2 Open.
November 9 Missouri at Columbia.
November 16 Kansas at Lincoln.
November 23 Big Ten team at
Lincoln.
November 28 Syracuse at Lincoln.
