sail's Mythical Elevens
PUCELIK IS FIRST
HUSKER SO CHOSEN
mi Guard is First Nebraskan
to Win a Position on a First
Ail-American Team."
In the selection of candidates for
Us first all-American eleven, WV.tt.
H Eckersall, prominent Chicago sport
ing critic has placed John Pueeli
f the University o Nebraska team
4t right guard on the mythical ele
ven. Ihis is the first time hi the
history o football at Nebraska that
Curnhusker has won a pos'-.JU ou
the first team. Captain CUreu:e
Sanson is paced at left end of ti:e
nd eleven by the Chicago spores
irriter.
Eckersall has picked men toi his
team from coast to coast and has a
lineup of stars, should they tver play
together would probably be the great
est football machine in the countr.
At the ends he has placed Captain
Eddie Anderson of Notre Dame and
Herb Crisler of Chicago These two
men were the stellar performers cf
the middle west at the wing positions
and in playing teams from other sec
tions of the country showed theh su
periority in playing their positloas
Several great ends are named by
Eckersul, incuding Captain Swanson
of Nebraska, Roberts of Centre,
Sturm of Yale, Stephens of California,
Kiley cf Xotre Dame, Muller of Cali
fornia, Belding of Iowa, and several
other inter-college star&.
At the" tackles ou the first eleven
are Slater of Iowa and McMillan of
Caiifornia. Nebraskans will remem-
fwr S'atr as the individual who
mined the Nebraska line in ISIS and
1919. On the second team s Eftis
cf Detroit and Keck of Princeton who
it given the honor of captaining the
econd aggregation. All pf these men
are known by followers of the pig
skin all over the country and it is
practically a toss up between them for
supremacy. Eckersall also names Mc
Guire of Chicago, Huffman of Ohio
State, Lyman of Nebraska, Capt. Kane
of Harvard, Shaw of Nctre Dame and
King of the Navy as being some of
the great tackles of the past Feason
As a running mate or Pucelik on
the first eleven is Ray Baer of Penn
Suite, at left guard. These two men
are probably two of the best line men
in the j:;:nie today and are capab'e
of playing not only the gu;rd posi
tions but most any ether position on
t:.e team. Eckersall has the following
w say of Pucelik: "John Pucelik of
Nebraska and Fiske Drown of Har
vard are about equal when it comes
to awarding the other guard posi-
t:'in. The Cornhusker, however, is
Rven the position because of his
treat wcrk in the Pittsburgh same. It
a mainly through his efforts that
P'U was unable to- get away with any
"t its fancy delayed formations, which
're timed to send the ball carriei
trough the middle of the line. In
other games, Pucelik performed bet
ter than any other guard in the sec
'ion. and a member of a champion
ship eleven is deserving of It.e hon-or-
Eckersall names a number of
other guards who p'ayed good foot
k" the past season and are known
throughout the country as great line
men. Stein or Pittsburgh is placeJ at the
Hvot position on account of his lecors
for the past three years and his gen
"al ability as a center. "Polly" Wal
kfe, who was placed on the first a')
! Wetern is given the pivot position
I tne second team and Eckersall
j James Vick of Michigan. P.unge o'
"wonsin, Larson of the Navy and
veral others as being some of tL
Standing performers of the year.
The backfield is composed of Aub
T Devine of Iowa; Aldrich or Yal,
h has the distinction-of being car
'n: Kaw of Cornell; and Owen of
Harvard. As EckersaM says, "this
ckfield can do anything and every
lnK. I know there may be other
at stars but to make a place for
te" on the first team would nec
itate the shifting of a number of
and this would be doing the
her men an injustice." Theie is
choice between the backfield as
ar be seen when the men are com
pared man for man.

DR. MAYHEW TALKS
TO L
Prominent Lincoln Surgeon Talks
On Connection Between Two
Great Professions.
D. J. Mayhew delivered a lecture
to the law smdents Friday mornln?;
on medical Jurisprudence, and the im
portant connections between law and
medicine. He showed how a medical
expert witness had a lawyer at o
great disadvantage unlesu the banist
er had a certain fundamental knowl
edge of the points which he sought
to bring out during the examination.
Ho told how the conclusions of the ex
pert could be arrived at only on tho
basis of long years of technical stu
dy, and could not be ruled on by the
judge as ordinary evidence unless the
judge was al-ao a learned man in the
medical profession. In this way the
expert witness acts in a judicial ca
pacity. His word must be taken as
correct by the members of court and
bar, who could not distinguish ordin
arily in a case like this, between right
and wrong.
According to the system now- us?.l
in the United States the party need
ing expert testimony hires and pays
for the expert. In England and several
countries on the "continent experts are
appointed by the court, and are paid
by the state. This frees the witness
from any feeling of duty toward his
employer, and tends toward a moro
fair trial. Dr. Mayhew looks for a
change in the system employed iv
this country to comply more closely
with that in Europe.
In doting Dr. Mayhew read two ex
amples of writing by insane people.
The first was by a "borderline case."
or one who was not entirely insane.
The doctor said this might not be
distinguished readily, at first glance
from some of Henry James or Brown
ing. Only a few passages marked it
as out of the ordinary. One of these
ran:
"The number of men was seventy
three,
All were captives.
And three were free."
The last piece read was called a
"Word Salad." It was a heterogene
ous clutter of words and phrases,
and indicated a mind fluttering from
cne swbjeet to another before a com
ple e thought was formed. The most
lucid part follows: 'Hurrah, hurrah,
great sorrow, blank, blank, Queen of
Spain, constitutional government,
apologize profusely, profuse apolo
gies, cheer, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah,
amen."
WILL TALK TO PRESS
CLUB 0Np SHOP
Defai Kuck and Mr. Miles Will
Discuss New Printing Trade
School Tonight.
The University Press elut will
meet tonight at 7:30 in Law 101 to
hear Dean P. M. Buck out'j.:e the
plans for a Nebraska university prcs
and to hear Mr. Miles, who is in
charge of the vocational trade school
p.'nting shep, speak on 'the possibi
lities of printing university publiea
tions here in the near future.
These two topics are directly in
line with the program of the press
club 'i be main object of the tlub is
the establishment of a university
owned press will not be to compete
with city printers but to provide a
laboratory for students studying
journalism. The plant established by
the government for vocational stu
dents in the basement of University
hall will undoubtedly form a nucelus
of a university press.
The other number on the program
at the club is the part it will take
In the State Press assoclatiou con
vention to be held here this winter.
An effore will be made to secure the
association's support of a university
press.
The meeting tonight will be open
to the public Following the address
es a fihort business meeting will ba
held. All members are to b? pres

HUSKER PROSPECTS
ARE BRIGHTENING
Nebraska Cage Squad Lines Up
Well With Other Valley
Teams.
MISSOURI TIGERS HAVE
THR2E ALL-VALLEY MEN
Large Number of Last Year's
Veterans in The Conference
This Year.
With dope from other valley
schools on the prospects fo:- a cham
pionship basketball quintet coming in,
Nebraska's prospects appear as bright
as those of any school in the valley.
Coach Frank has several letter men
hack from last year and a strong ag
gregation of last year's freshman in
the varsity ranks this year.
Missouri, winners of the title last
jear, have wonderful prospects again
this year and the Tigers are expect
ing to clinch the title. The Missouri
quintet won seventeen consecutive
victories last year and suffered only
one defeat, that being the last con
tent of the season. Banker, Williams,
and Browning, stars of last year's ag
gregation are back and will form
the nucleus' for the Tiger quintet. AH
of these men were placed on the all
Valley team last year.
Karnes has four of last year's quin
tet in action this season and promise
to make a strong bid for the cham
pionship honors. The Jayhawkers use
good floor work and this combined
with a long and short pass enables
the Kansas athlete:? to score almost
at will against a fairly strong team.
The Huskers mix with the Jayhawk
ers at Lawrence one week from to
night in the initial contest of the sea
son. Drake won five out of thirteen con
tests played last yeaT against some
of the strongest teams in the confer
ence and will start the season with
a few veterans on hand. Payselr, star
forward for Coach Solem and the
Blue and White quintet will be in ac
tion again this year and the only dif
ficulty now is to develop a running
mate for the aggressive forward.
At Manhattan, Coach Curtis of the
Kansas Aggies has a flock of basket
tossers working and expects to devel
op a championship team. The Aggie
lOHt two of their star men last year
' but the advance dope indicates pros-
- ' . fo:. winninir team. The Aggies
won nine of the thirteen contests
played last season and finished in
third position.
Oklahoma finished in seventh posi
tion last season but having been com
ing strong and will probably put a
team in action this year that will ba
on a par with any of the Valley quin
tets. Waite, the big center, is back
in the fold and hitting the hoop with
deadly aim. Waite was second high
est man in the Valley last year in
scoring, finishing next to Williams of
Missouri, and should be a great asset
to the sooners.
Grinnell Prospect Bright.
Prospects at Grinnell are much
brighter this year than last on ac
count of so much first class material
coming in from last years yearling
crew. The Pioneers finished far dowa
in the list last season but fought some
close games with the leadens of the
Valley. Coach Rider of the Washing
ton report- that every one of his men
have returned from last year and that
the systt-m there has been changed
somewhat and It is hoped that the St.
Ioui.s athletes will come to the front
more this season.
Ames fininshed in fourth position
lait year and has most of Jast sea
son's veterans on hand this year. Tho
Ames squad is composed of four ol
last season's veterans and an abund
ance of material from the freshman
squad of last season. The Iowa Stato
Aggies appeared twice last year and
although losing both contests, made
the Huskers extend themselves to cop
the long end o the score. Nebraska
lost her first game at Ames last year.
ENGINEERS TO INSPECT
THE TELEPHONE COMPANY
The A. I. E. E. will Inspect the
telephone company at their next meet
ing Wednesday, December 14, 1921.
The telephone company has extended
an invitation to the student engin
eers to Inspect the well equipped
plant to which recent additions have
been made. The company will furnish
guides who are familiar with the ap
paratus. This is a splendid opportun
ity for all engineers and others inter
ested to gain an insight into the work
ing of the telephone.
