HENRY F. SCHULTE
At the helm of the 1919 Cornhusker
-hliion aggregation, ia a man who
has been coaching winning teams for
i he last fifteen years. Henry F. Schul
le is an athletic instructor far above
I lie average and has justified this
statement by the results of his work
at Nebraska. Elected about the mid
die of August, Schulte had barely time
to be on the job for the first practice
nd here was a serious handicrp.
Other obstacles combined in making
his task difficult, but "Indian" Sch'ilte
is game and a hard fighter. In spite
of the fact that no spring practice
was held last year and the squad was
lacking in high class backfield mater
ial, Schulte pulled off his coat. rolloO
ud his sleeves, and tackled the Job. He
produced an eleven that has proved
it self the class of the Missouri Volley
His team held Notre Dame to a low
core and tied Minnesota. Notre Dame
easily defeated the Army, Purdue,
and the Michigan Aggies. Minnesota
walked over Michigan and Indiana
Schulte learned the rudiments of
the gridiron game under -Hurry Up"
Vost at Michigan university.- He was
one of the dependable warriors of the
Yost machines of '03, '04, and '05
Playing a guard position, he was a
source of terror to opposing linesmen.
"Shorty" Burns, who played a guird
on the Cornhusker eleven in tnose
days, bumped up against Schulte
when the Husker played the Wolver
ines in '05. Regarding the game,
Burns says, "If Schulte can coach the
game half as well as he played it at
Michigan, Nebraska has landed a grea'
coach." Yost's men pulled up '" .t
touchdowns against the Husker'' in
this game.
Immediately after his graduation
from the Michigan school, Schulte en
tered the coaching game. For two
j ears he piloted the athletic teams or
Michigan state normal college and
the records of the teams are proof of
his success. His next coaching job
was with the Southeastern Missouri
College and it was here that his name
was first written in athletics of the
"Show me" state. From the Missouri
school he returned to Michigan univer
sity as assistant coach and helped
Yost perfect the Wolverine teams.
In 1912 Schulte joined the coaching
staff of the University of Missouri and
has been conncclcu with the Tiger
sc hool for theo past seven years. And
in the last few years Missouri has
shown a derided improvement in Mis
.;ouii Valley athletics. In football.
Schulte was hampered at Missouii by
a lack of high-grade material. Fool
ball stars of the rare ability of Cham
berlain, Rhodes, Rutherford, Halligiin.
Bender, Shonka, Westover, and other
famous Cornhuskers, have not been
enrolled at the Columbia institution
Missouri teams have always averngec!
at least ten pounds per man lighter
than Nebrask teams. Nevertheless, af
ter the Kansas Jayhawkers had
trounced Doc Stewart's Huskers 7 3,
in 1916, Schulte took his lightweight
squad to Lawrence and defeated the
Kansans on their gridiron.
Schulte's greatest success at Misson
ri was attained in the track dep?rt
ment. Practically every season that
Schulte coached the Missouri cinder
athletes, the Tiger school has reigned
supreme in the Missouri Valley con
ference, winning first honors with
ease, wnue at Misouri, scnuue nev
er had less than one hundred and
fifty track candidates each season. It
was Schulte who developed Bob Simp
son, the greatest hurdler in history and
holder of the world's records in both
the high and low hurdles.
His first gridiron season at Nebras
ka closes today and Schulte's effoits
have met with success. Great pros
pects lie ahead of him in track. In
spite of the criticism at the hands of
incompetent Judges, the Cornhuskers
have had a successful season and
Schulte has established himself in the
hearts of Nebraska athletes. John.
Grover of Kansas City, prominent
in Missouri vaiiey ainieiic circles,
paid a fitting triDute to scnuue ai uie
time of his election as Cornhusker
coach, when he said in a letter to Pie

JOHN RIDDELL
To John Riddell, the freshman
coach, should go much credit for Ne
branka's success this year. He is the
man who has been molding the Husk
er's team for next yc.-.r. Himself a
Nebraska man pml possessed of the
traditional Cornhusker spirit, Riddell
was exceedingly well qualified to
guide the gridiron destinies of the
first-year nun. It was his faculty ot
injecting his own fighting spirit into
the freshmen players that developed
the powerful football machine.
John has had considerable exper
ience in the gridiron game and is
thoroughly efficient in the mechanics
of coaching. His own playing exper
ience was obtained at Beatrice High
school and here at Nebraska. Hon
ored and respected by his players
which is a recommendation of the
highest order, Riddell has ably direct
ed a successful season of freshmen

PAUL SCHISSLER
The work of coaching and manag
ing a Nebraska football team is more
than a one-man Job, and Coach
Schulte had a very able assistant in
the person of Paul Schissler. Schiss
ler 1b no green horn at the coaching
game and was well qualified to help
perfect the Cornhusker team.
"Schiss" is a native of the state of
Oregon but received his education In
Cornhusker schools. . He attended
Hastings High school where- he played
football, basketball, and baseball for
four years. His university course was
evenly divided between four institu
tions. One year was spent at Hast
ings College, one at Doane College,
one at the U. S. Naval Academy, and
another at the University of Nebraska.
While in college Schissler was always
prominent in athletic circles.

as tutor of athletes at Hastings High
school in the years of 1913 and 1914

the youth of Hastings and his football
team was an undefeated contender for
the state championship both years.

semi-finals of the state tournament

helm of the Doane College gridiron
eleven and under his direction the

OH! YOU PHONE GIRL
The Telephone Girl sits in her chair
And listens to voices from every
where. She hears all the gossip,
She hears all the news;
She knows who is happy
And who has the blues.
She knows all our sorrows,
She knows all our joys;
She knows every girl who is "chasing
the boys."
She knows of our trouble,
She knows of our strife,
She knows every man who talks mean
to his wife.
She knows every time we are out with
the boys,
She hears the excuses each fellow em
ploys. She knows every woman who has a
dark past,
She knows every man who's inclined
to be fast.
In fact there's a secret "neath each
saucy curl
Of that quiet, demure-looking Tele
phone Girl.
If the Telephone Girl told all that
she knows
It would turn half our friends into
bitterest foes.
Sbe could sow a small wind that would
be a big gale,
Engulf us in trouble and land us in
Jail.
She could let go a story, which going
in force
Would cause half onr wives to sue tor
divorce.
She could get onr churches mixed up
