UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA HAS
INCOMPARABLE COACHING STAFF
Optimistic Outlook for 1921.
Cornhusker athletics will h in nrn
efficient hands next year. An excel !
lent coaching staff, together with a
well-managed athletic department will
contribute greatly In placing the fair
name of Nebraska on the highest
pinnacle of fame. Great prospect
are in view for the Cornhusker school
and from all appearances the road
to success contains no unforseen
stumbling blocks.

tember to assume control of the com
bined departments of athletics and
physical education. This makes Mr.
Luehring virtually the director of ath-

letics, and a more competent man
for the position would be bard to find.
Mr. Luehring has had plenty of ex
perience in this line to assure bis
competence in handling the situation
at Nebraska,
The new director was bead coach
and athletic director at Ripon College
Ripon, Wisconsin, for four years.
During his coaching there, between
1503 and 1907, he turned out three
championship football teams and twr
championship basketball teams, in
addition to building up first class
track teams. He developed inter
scholastic meets at Ripon until they
were second only to the great meets
at the University of Chicago. The
new gymnasium and quarter-mile run
ning track at Ripon are results of his
supervision.
Luehring went to Princeton in 1911.
where he has been director of the de
partment of hygiene and physical edu
cation, as well as supervisor of intra
mural athletics and head basketball
coach. During the war Mr. Luehring
was in charge of physical training
and musketry and rifle practice at the
Princeton University military train
ing camp.
In football and track work, Henry
F. Schulte will again hold the reins
next year. The genial mentor has
proven a favorite with all during his
first year at Nebraska and the Corn
husker school is indeed fortunate to
secure his services for future years.
Schulte is more than making good "a
Nebraska and is rapidly attaining the
reputation of the most popular coach
ever connected with the University of
Nebraska,
Schulte's football dates back to the
early days of the twentieth century
when he was playing at the Univer
sity of Michigan under the direction
of "Hurry Up" Yost. He was a
source of terror to all opposing lines
men and made an enviable gridiron
reputation. As soon as be graduated
from Michigan, Schulte entered the
coaching game. For two years be
tutored the athletic teams at Mlchl
gan State Normal and met with great
success. Later be was connected with
Southeastern Missouri College and
then went back to Michigan as as
sistant to Tost
In 1912 Schulte Joined the coaching
staff of the University of Missouri and
was connected with the Tiger institu
tion for seven years. His greatest
success at Missouri was attained in
track work. Practically every season
that Schulte coached the Tiger cinde
artists, Missouri has reigned suprem
in the Missouri Valley. He developc
the famous hurdler. Bob Simpson, I)
gridiron work he made great achieve
ments at Missouri and his last year:
work at Nebraska Is sufficient proo
of his ability at coaching the gridiron
game. With Schulte again in the
saddle, successful football and track
teams are assured.
Paul J. Schissler. who has developed
the wonderful 1920 Husker basketbal'
aggregation, will coach the basket
sport again next year and again
demostrate his ability at turning out
winning teams. A wealth of material
will greet him next year and he is
sure to produce another winner.
The name of Schissler is well known
in Nebraska athletics. "Schiss." al

his education in Cornhusker schools
