Win the opening of the Husker cage
season but two weeks away, the No
braska Varsity squad under the di
rection of Coach Frank has Started
scrimmage activity for the season
The Varsity and freshman squads
mixed in the initial scrimmage of the
season last night in the Armory. The
showing made by the Varsity was
fairly pleasing to the coaches.
In scheduling Wisconsin, Nebraska
is meeting one of the strongest quin
tets in the Big Ten conference. Last
season the Nebraska cage team broke
even in a two game series with tho
Illinois men, last year's champions of
the Big Ten conference. Critics who
6aw the Cornhuskers in action at Illi
nois give everything to the Nebraska
players. Illinois was the only Big Ten
team encountered last season.
Complete plans have not been for
mulated for the work to be carried
on during the holidays will work out
regularly. Coach Frank is not using
any definite lineup as yet as there hits
been some shifting of the men since
the injury of Frank Carmen. Captain
Smith and Russell will probably be
the choice for forwards with Warren
' working at the center position. Smith
has been a member of the Husker
quintet for the past two years and
Russell played two years ago but did
not take part last year on account
of not being in school the first sem
ester. Warren, one of last year's let
1er men, is working in at the center
wsition in nice shape but is having
considerable competition from several
xlher members of the Varsity crew.
The guard positions are verp unde
cided as yet and a number of men
have been showing a great deal of
promise. Coach Frank expects to take
about twelve men on the Wisconsin
trip and followingthe Badger journey
the opening contest for Nebraskans
will be staged at the Coliseum on Jan
uary 7, with the Washington Pikers.
Negotiations have 'been pending
with several schools for games next
fail and Director Luehring expects to
have some definite announcement for
tho Daily Nebraskan for tomorrow's
issue. Tho Husker calender for 1922
is rapidly nearing completion and the
entire schedule will probably be com
pieted by the middle of next month

Christmas pay checks for vocational
students at the University of Nebraska
;;nd the remainder of the 365 di
ablcd ex-service men in training in
Lincoln offices and business colleges
will arrive on time after all. The
checks were released in Washington
December 18 as stated by a telegram
received by Leland Towle, co-ordina'
tor of the Veterans' Bureau in Lin
coin. The checks must first go to
St. Louis but should be here by the
regular time, December 22.
Offering to board the trainees at
the Temple and agriculture college
cafeterias, the University was first to
answer Mr. Towle's appeal for aid
in tiding the men over the holiday
period. An hour before the arrival
of the telegram announcing the is
f;ue of the checks, Speier & Simon,
clothing firm at Tenth and O streets,
had made the final arrangements of
an off?r to loan $15,000 to be paid
to the trainees at $40 a man if the
checks did not arrive before Christ
mas. The Home Cafe, 120 North
Fourteenth elreet also sent word to
Mr. Towle that it would extend credit
to any of the men whom the bureau
would sMid down.
"The Speier & Simon offer still
holds good," said Mr. Towle, "in case
that through some mischance the
Christmas checks may not arrive by
the twenty-second. The company
would loan the money free of what
soever charge, and without any Inter
est."
Mr. Towle has been besieged by
the trainees very day since the news
came that the exhaustion of the ap
propriation caused the indefinite hold
ing up of the checks for the period
of December 1 to 15. Some of the men
were In financial straits and their
Christmas outlook was gloomy, ac
cording to Mr. Towle. Since the state
university made Its offer to board
the men at Its cafeterias; Mr. Towlo
has Issued, he estimates, at least a
hundred tickets, admitting the tra1:i
ees to the meals.
It Is certainly gratifying," Mr
Towle declared, "to know that Lla
coin people were so willing to help
the disabled service men. and It If
a great credit to Lincoln that Its clt'
zens proved their recoimlMon of th
Invaluable services rendered by the'
men In the world war."

Camp's second all-America tcum nrd
John Pucelik, Husker guard, is in
cluded in the third mythir-al eleven
nm.ied by the fumous gridiron critic.
Roy Lyman, tacklle, is the only other
Coinliusker to receive menlio.1, be
.ng included in the honor roll.
No team is given two places on
Camp's first team, eleven (Liferent
schools being represented. I! is un
doubtedly a great combination but
riusker fans believe it would be
strengthened by the addition of buth
Swansun and Pucelik.
None of Dawson's smashing back
ficld performers are given mention
jy Ci-nip. Here is where Cornhuskers
again disagree with the Gothai:. grit
Such backs as Hartley, Vrigbt,
Pre-iton and Noble are as good as
any .n the country and Camp's ldiiure
to give them at least honorable men
tion can only be excused on tim
grounds of oversight.
I: is interesting to note that D;:vies,
Pittsburgh back wijo is placed on tue
second team, was unab.e to niaiie
any gains against the Husker team
while Dawson's backs plowed through
the Pitt team at will.
It will be seen that KecK, ol
Princeton; Stein, of Pittsburgh; and
Loune, of Princeton, all of wh -in were
on tho first all-America team las
year are given subordinate ratings
this year.
Camp's own story as reprinted from
the December 24 issue of t oliier s
the national weekly, is as follows:
On ,ne Saturday last October 140
football contests of suflicient import
a nee to be scheduled in the Ol'l icial
Guide were played. Since each oi
these contesting teams rould average
thirty players in its squad, that means
something more than 8,000 college
men playing football regularly. This
furnishes a faint idea of the great
field of contestants from which the
all-America team of 1921 5-aa been
taken.

"Know Nebraska of Today," was

Forty-seven slogans were entered
in the contest and the Judges. Harold
Holtz, Prof. R. E. Cochran, and Jack
Austin, had no little difficulty in se
lecting a winner. Considerable deli

1922 Cornnusker was awarded to Pet

Wilbur C. Peterson, the winner of
(Continued on Page Three.) I
this year has been high. So many
men of exceptional value are avail
able that the selection of the first
team has been made only after de
tailed consideration of the history and
ability of each man under all pos
sible conditions.
There were many wonderful ends
developed in the country this sea
son, and this is all the more remark
able because the present-day end his
the biggest Job he ever had in the
history of football. In addition to
alll his former regular duties, he Is
.eully becoming a back-field man as
veil, since many teams intrust hira
with a great deal of the forwaid pass
ing and a considerable amouni cf run
ning with the ball.
In making up the all-America this
year, therefore, we take two men of
this especial character. Roberts has
been the biggest factor on the clever
Centre team this year, the man upon
whom McMillin relied for all sorts
of work, using him both at end and
in the backfield. He has unending
endurance and seems as fresii and
ready to carry the ball even after
running down the field on a punt as
if the opening whistle had jus! blown.
Two years ago, when Centre met
West Virginia, after that team had
beaten Princeton 25 to 0, largely thru
the remarkable forward passing of
Rodgers, it was by sending Roberts
up into the line that Centre, already
scoied upon, finally managed tj stop
Itodgers from making his long passes,
and vu-.i uie game. Against tiarvaru
this year Roberts was a larg3 factor
in Centre's victory. Harvard was
criticised for directing so many plays
against him; it was. however, not oil
account cf the direction of Uie at
tack, but because Roberts covered so
much ground, that lie was 'on the
spot.
Muller of California, who leached
his perfection of play late l;:st sea
son, began in 1S21 with a ma. a clous
game against Ohio State en New
Year's day, and followed it up later
with especially brilliant work 'n run
ning, making, and receiving passes
and aggressive defense until mld
soason, when an injury laid him up.
Aftor missing three games, and wher
the score was a tie in the Southerly
California contest, he went in and
witli a single long pass turned tho
tables. He finished out the season,
going in in the second period of the
big game of the coast, in which Cali- .
fornia defeated its main rival. Stan
ford, 42 to 7. Muller id the longest
and most accurate passer In the coun
try today, largely due to the size ot
his hand and powerful grip, launch
ing the ball with speed from 50 tc
60 yards. He is a wonderful lecelver
of the pass. He weighs over 190
pounds, is a deadly tackier, can box
in a tackle effectually, and can also
run exceptionally well with the balll.
A Team With a 8uper-atts,k.
In connection with the selection of
this pair of ends one must also con
sider the work and standing of their
teams. Centre went undefeated thru
the season and beat Harvard Cali
fornia, with very nearly her present
team, overwhelmingly defeated Ohio
State last New Year's day when the
latter had a month before won the
Middle West conference championship
and has gone through this year with
out a defeat, winning the coast cham
pionship.
The tacklerc are McGuire cf Chi
cago and Stein of Washington, and
Jefferson. McGuire was a great factor
In the work of Chicago. He is W
big, powerful man, with a tremendous
