URBANA, 111., Sept- 24. Coach Robert C. Zuppke of the Illinois foot ball team has been busy this past week developing a speedy team with which he hopes to win from ye Corn husker aggregation when they meet here Oct. 6. During the past week Zuppke has made the fact clear that everything will be sacrificed for speed. In the line a3 well as in the backf ield speedy candidates will be chosen over those having weight and experience. Harold Grange, a sophomore who plays a half, is the find of the sea son it is agreed by sport writers who have seen him in action. He is one of the fastest men seen here in years, a wonderful open field runner and works in well with Mcllwain, veteran half. Grange will be playing his first year of conference football this year. Grange is the only star of last year's freshmen squad to report this year, other promising material ma triculating in different schools. Despite these losses Zuppke has a dozen likely candidates fighting for backfield berths.. The combination to which he has given the preference thus far is, Hall at quarter, Crawford at full and Mclllwain and Grange at halves. Most of Zuppks's candidates for end have had little experience but 8peedy men are trying for the posi tion among them being Lipe, basket ball guard, and Graham, crack quar ter miler.

COMPARES NEBRASKA STADIUM WITH YALE Dunbar Approves Plan of Building Stadium With Idea of Additions. The Nebraska Memorial Stadium will compare very favorably with the world-famous Yale Bowl when completed, according to Dr. Carl Dunbar, Yale professor who was in Lincoln this summer. "I think that the University of Nebraska is very wise in building such a lartre stadium and one that can be enlareed later on," Dr. Dun bar told Dr. G. E. Condra of Ne braska while he was here. . "When the Yale bowl was built, it was thought that it never would be filled. At the present time it be comes so crowded that no tickets are put on sale to the public and each student can buy only three tick ets. Of course, the Lincoln stadium is too larere now. but I believe it will soon fill up as did the Yale bowl," he said. The Yale bowl seats 76,000 at the nresent time. The new Nebraska Memorial Stadium can ' seat over 30,000 now and could seat as many as the Yale bowl if it were completed on both ends of the field. As the name indicates, the Yale bowl completely encircles the field. It is half buried in the ground. The Nebraska stadium could not be bur ied that far because of the low loca tion on which it is being built. Kansas and Nebraska have played every year excepting 1904 and 1905 and in that time the Jayhowicers nave been able to win eight games out of 27 played. The Kansans succeeded in deadlocking the count in 1920 for the only tie game ever played be tween the two schools. mi v.ii.

Knox was trimmed,, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1923 Varsity Shows Strength in Clash Monday With First-year Gridsters The first battle of the year be tween the varsity and the freshmen warriors was staged on the stadium field Monday afternoon. Coach Far ley Young invaded the varsity camp with thirty ambitious pigskin .young sters and a real battle was on. Coach Dawson and Freshmen Coach Young each picked two squads and sent them to it. Team "A" of the varsity squad was given the ball first and they marched through the Frosh for big gains on almost every play. Cap tain Lewellen, Herb Dewitz, Hart- man and Noble going through the line and around the ends on every play.. This quartet along with Rufus De witz are showing their old time stuff and they are going to be a combina tion that Coach Zuppke and his pro teges will find hard to stop. The line consisting of Berquist, McGlasson, Bassett, Weir, and West- opoul were very powerful and show great prospects for a wonderful for ward wall before the season is over. They are very powerful and aggres sive but are not certain as to their assignments. Time and practice will have them in splendid shape. Berquist at his old place at guard is very dependable and checks up on the center and guard playing next to him. Captain Lewellen, who has been shifted from halfback to quarter back is taking a hold of the position commendably. He handles the ball cleanly and his headwork in his choice of plays shows that he is studying the opposing defense. Noble and Herb Dewitz were showing good form in lugging the ball through the line and around the ends with the same speed and shifti ness that have made them terrors to all opponents. TEN THOUSAND ARE REGISTERED IN UNI List Includes All Students in Branches. Record Is Still Incomplete. With the sure prospect of having more than 10,000 students on its hands and conscience this academic year the University of Nebraska launched-out Thursday on the in structional work of the fifty-fifth year of its history. The regular reg istration period ended Wednesday, but students were still coming in Saturday, and will -continue this week, especially in the Graduate Col lege. The total of over 10,000 students includes those on the Lincoln cam pus and those at the College of Med icine in Omaha, those at the Curtis School of Agriculture and the exten sion students. The registration on the city cam pus alone shows an increase of 354 over the registration of last year. For the corresponding date last year there were 4,433 students registered. This year there are 4,787. This count of Lincoln students does not take into account the increase in the summer school registration. NOTRE DAME TEAM WHIPS INTO FORM Rockne Looking for Heavier Material for Line to Use Against Nebraska. (Specialto The Nebraskan.) NOTRE DAME, Ind., Sept. 23. Coach K. K.Uockne put his football squad through a stiff, workout the past week and will start heavy scrim mage in a few days in order to pre pare his squad for their game with Kalamazoo next Saturday. Rockne is devoting most of his at tention to filling the places left by the graduation of last year's stars: Castner at full, Degree at guard and Cotton at tackle. For guard Rockne has Capt Brown, who weighs but 165 and Kizer who is also the same weight. Rockne is looking for a heavier man to develope for use against the heavy squads like Army and Nebraska. At center Regan looks better than the other candidates but weighs only 163. This trio of light men in the line is Rockne's chief worry. Hartman, playing plain fullback, did credible work both on the of fense and defense. Under. Chick Hartley's personal coaching hartman is developing into a great fullback. His work Mon day on the defense brought applause many times. On team "B" Rufus Dewitz and Locke were carrying the ball through the frosh with equal regularity. It was necessary for the first year men to use as high as three men on each of the varsity luggers to stop them. Bud Randolph's shiftiness is w-jll worth mentioning. ((Continued on Page 4) ILLINOIS GRID TEAM IS WORRIED BY NEBRASKA Dope Story in Chicago Tribune Says Zuppke Faces Prob lem in Placing Men. The Nebraska game, Oct. 6, is causing worry in the Illinois camp, according to a story Sunday in the Chicago Tribune. The Blue and Gold have a compar atively green squad with which to face Nebraska, according to the news story, and suffered heavily through graduation of many of their stars. It is the plan of the Illinois team to sacrifice everything for speed, and not only a speedy backfield jvill be put into action, but weight and ex perience in the line will also be put aside by Coach Zuppke. The freshmen team, which re ceived so much high praise, failed to produce men of varsity caliber, and of the four men who were real ly high grade material, three were lost to the school. ' Many of the Illini are men who have never seen heavy football, and Coach Zuppke faces a difficult prob lem in placing his men, the article states. ' JUDGING TEAM IN WATERLOO CONTEST Agricultural Students on Three Week Trip; Plan to Attend National Dairy Show. The University of Nebraska's stock judging team consisting of five Ag ricultural College "students and a coach is now in Waterloo, Iowa, where a contest is being staged.

These students all took part in the practice judging during fair week, and were selected for the team be cause of ability shown at that time. YEARLINGS SHOW SKILL IN MONDAY WORKOUT Freshmen Make Good Showing in Offensive Work When Pitted Against Varsity Freshmen football" men had their first taste of blood last evening when two yearling teams were pitied against two squads of the varsity in the first varsity-freshman football scrimmage of the season. The thir- tv-two first years men used in the scrimmage showed up well after only a few days of practice, and held the varsity regulars to short gains. Gains made by the varsity men against the freshmen, although con sistent, were kept within safe limits. Twenty yards was the greatest gain made at any time, and the average plunee through the yearling line was about four yards. Several times the freshmen wall stood firm and held their ground without any loss. . On the offensive the freshmen made a good showing. A break thru the varsity line netted them six yards on one play. The team of the (Continued on Page 3) Upperclassmen Get Books Wednesday Freshmen have just one more day in which to get their "N" books before the upperclassmen are to have their chance, accord ing to Paul McCaffree, executive secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. Freshmen who have not done so in the past week should present the white card which en titles them to an "N" book at the "Y" headquarters in the Temple.

He plans to have about one-fifth of the lecture given by men outside of the Engineering College. Two hundred and thirty-two fresh men registered for the course, mak ing the class so large that beginning two weeks from last night the lec tures will be given in the Temple theater. Next week the class is to be divided, about half of them at tending at four o'clock and the other half at five, the regular time.

Plan Cross-country Other Valley Cross-country meets with Okla homa. Kansas, and Missouri will probably be held at the 6ame time with the football games with these schools, according to CoCach J. Lloyd McMasters. When Oklahoma comes to Lincoln to nit her gridsters against the Cornhusker squad, the cross country squad will probably come. The contracts have not yet been signed, but it is almost a certainty that the schedule will go through, ac cording to the coaca. Onlv forty men have signed up for the harrier squad up to date. "In a school the size of Nebraska, we should have at least a hundred and twenty-iive men out," asserted Coach McMasters. "If the fresh men want to win an "N" next year, they should come out this year and learn the game and get in trim. The sauad is working out regular ly under the eyes of the coach and Captain Hyda. Since the track in the stadium is not in condition, the men are using the Belmont cross country course.
