Football dope was completely upset
rlT Saturday by the report Irom tw
cago that Colonel Rees had ordered
that all games of football for the
month of October 6hould be postponed
in those cases where the visiting
teams would have to entrain for the
field of conflict before Saturday morn
ing. This would have cancelled near
ly all of the games on the Nebraska
field for the month of October if the
- report proved true.
Late Saturday night, however, no
definite word had been received by
either Chancellor Hastings or Captain
Maclvor and authorities here Includ
ing Coach Kline were inclined to the
belief that the report was merely a
rumor started by some venturesome
person in Chicago for the purpose of
stirring football gossip Just a trifle j
more.
The report included a similar rul
ing concerning the games for the No
vember schedule allowing the time of
absence from their own quarters of
the visiting team to extend from Fri
day afternoon to Sunday evening.
ThiB would alao have made short work
of all the big games on the Husker
schedule but the 'opinion prevailed
Saturday night all the games defi
nitely arranged under prior rulings
from Washington would be played
without any interference from gov
ernment sources.
Coach Kline Undisturbed
Coaches Kline and Sissler were not
at all disheartened by the rumors and
work on the practice field has been
progressing very favorably since the
Freshmen have been admitted Into
the varsity ranks.

TUESDAY
CELEBRATION
In the Saturday scrimmage no per
manent line-up was held but the men
were shifted to various positions and
new men were thrown In to make a
trial so that all were given opportu
nity to show their metal as gridiron
fighters.
Probable lineup for the back field
favors Shellenberg, Hubka, Mc
Mahon and Lantz, a quartet of play
ers that will form one of the most ef
fective machines that has ever been
directed by a Nebraska coach.
As to the rest of the line-up Coach
Kline picks no favorites although he
feels confident that he can pick plen
ty of material that will fit Into the
line very well with the necessary
training.
Team Lacks Experience
The Cornhusker team this year will
lack one element that will have more
effect on the character of the work
which it will perform than any other
factor. That element is experience,
but the Nebraska coach is determin
ed to add qualities that will balance
the defect and realizes at the same
time that the teams that will meet his
men are facing the same problems.
Th ticket campaign will be started
today , as scheduled unless definite
statement is received from Washing
ton prohibiting the intended schedule
of games here.
Reserves will be made on the reg
ular season book for students and fac
ulty in the center section of the south
side amphitheatre.
Scott at Valley Conference
Professor R. D. Scott represented
Nebraska at a meeting held in Kan
sas City Saturday night at which rep
resentatives from schools In the Mis
souri valley conference were to meet
with the governing board and decide
definitely rgarding questions brought
by recent military developments.
These delegates were expectd to
follow the example of the "Big Ten"
conference in surrendering athletic
control for the present to S. A. T. C.
direction. This will guarantee the
abandonment of the freshmen ruling
in valley circles.
