Bring Hopes For
Huskers
Nebraska Developing Favorably
in Preparation For Conflict
With Eastern Rivals
Those dark clouds of gloom which
have been hovering o'er the Corn
husVer camp for the last few dayo
lifted slightly Tuesday afternoon and
disclosed a squad of forty football can
didates fighting and scrambling for
recognition from Coaches Kline and
Scbissler. The soggy field which hin
dered practice Monday had dried up
some under a warming ind allow-!
ed the players to she. a little of their
speed and vim vhich gave the assur
ance that the Huskers will meet the
Iowa Hawkeyes next Saturday with
at least oven chances.
Nebraska will rely more on team
work and scrapping ability than on
beef and brute strength in the com
ing battle. The line men average 177
pounds but with Ross at 217 and Ly
man, Kriemelmeyer and Mont Munn
all in the 190 class the line gives the
impression of a herd of Texas steers.
Newman at 134, Lantz 141. and Mc
Mahcm keep the back field , aver
age down to 151 pounds, altho Hubka
tips the beam at 169.
Varsity Trim Scrubs
The varsity plowed through the
scrubs for three touchdowns In the
scrimmage which wound up the pro
gram for the day. Schellenberg and
McMahon distinguished themselves In
the varsity backfleld with Munn,
Cypreanson and Lyman bearing the j
brunt in the line. ;
The second-stringers put up a solid j
brand of resistence and came wjrhln j
scoring distance of the varsity goal j
several times. They worked a few j
success ful forward passes but relied j
mostly on straight football. Likewise j
the regulars succeeded In completing j
a pass or two but the line bucking of j
Hubka. Lantz and McMahon counted j
tor the most consistent gains. Our
ley McMahon went over for the j
first toiu hdown the teams had
see-sawed up the field for a
while. Shelly made the second score
via the aerial route, diving over the
whole sn ub line and planting the ball j
back of the whitewash by several j
yards. The scrimmage ended when the j
.varsity went around the end for the i
last touchdown at about quarter of ;
six.
tees Promising Punter
A punft-r of considerable promise
was discovered in Tom Lees of the sec- j
ond strinrers. His long spirels were j
averaging around fifty yards in the,
punting prac tice In the early part of j
the afternoon. T,e. niriK from Lin
coin high hut never fibred in football
until last year on the freshman stj -ad.
Practice began with punting, p'ace
kicking and forward nassine and then
fame signal drill with four teams in I
ihe field. This took up the greater j
Part of the session. At the conclusion j
of the sc rimmage between the scrub j
and the regnlars Coach Kline staged j
little lf.o yard dash with the en j
tire squad participating, which found
Lyman a nose length ahead of the!
bunch at the string. !

a lot of articles made from shells and
clam shells at Pelican lake, where he

COACH STIEHM BEGINS
PRACTICE AT INDIANA
Uncertain as to Games the Army
Will Permit Hoosiers
to Play
BLOOMINGTON, md., Oct. 1.
Things looked normal on historic old
Jordan field at Indiana university this
week when a squad of more than forty
varsltv men and seventy freshman
candidates reported to the coaches.
The yearling aggregation is the larg
est in years and contains some
mighty promising material.
Head Coach Stiehm and his under
studies are proceeding right along on
the theory that if the present sched
ule is not played out It will be rear
ranged and that at lease six or seven
big games will be played.
It has been rumored that all pres
ent schedules will be canceled and
that the war'department will make out
new cards for all schools so as to
have games played that will not ne
cessitate long trips. One of the re
ports Is that under the government
schedule, Indiana will play Chicago
this year, as the trip could be made
from here to the Maroon field and
back without members of the tetm
having to miss a single military drP
If the government does make ne v
Schedules it is reasonably certain In
diana will not get to make its long
trip to Iowa as scheduled, and it is
doubtful if the Wisconsin game can be
played for the same reason Exchange.

serious; the others being merely a

of three or four a day keeps up, the j
week's reports will reach astounding
proportions. Among the women there
are fewer illnesses, not more than ten

that in many c of the rooming houses

reports as to the exact number of

Report Illnesses
It is advised by all medical author
ities and by the executive dean that
every student take it upon himself to
report any illness which comes under
his notice! Only by the most drastic
measures and the heartiest of student
co-operation will this thing be con
quered. All cases among military men
and S. A. T. C- should be reported to
and S A. 1. v-- tsiiuuiu n-H"'--

be reported to either Dr. Clapp in his
