HUSKERS GLOOMY WITH LEWELLEN OUT OFJJNE-UP Rufus Dewitz Will Probably Be Assigned "Lew's" Place as Field General in Starting Oklahoma Garr. CAPTAIN NOT ABLE TO SCRIMMAGE FOR WEEK Berquist Still Limping; Hasn't Bucked the Line Since Game With Illinois, When He Was Injured. Nebraska's "fighting Cornhuskers" will inaugurate the home season to morrow afternoon when they meet Coach Benny Owen's forward-passing Sooners on the new Memorial Stadium field. Old man gloom has flown over the Husker camp and dropped most of his cargo, injuries being the cargo. Captain Lewellen is out of moleskins and will be out for quite a few days due to an infection on his left knee. "Lew" spend Wednesday night in the Lincoln Sanitarium while the at tendants applied hot packs through out the night. He limped down to the Armory Thursday afternoon for workout but Coach Dawson sent him home and gave him strict orders to stay off his feet. The infection will probably keep him out of scrim mage for a week. His place in the backfield may be assigned to Rufus Dewitz to start as field general against Coach Owen's Sooners. Berquist is still limping with his game leg and has been kept out of the scrimmage since the Ulini game. The Thursday practice consisted mostly of passing and punting with the second and third team scrim maging with the freshmen. Coach Dawson had his first string to them selves on one corner of the field going through a snappy signal prac tice. Rufus Dewitz was calling sig nals, with Dave Noble, Locke, and Herb Dewitz lugging the ball. This combination may be started against the invaders. The forward wallers who will start with the kickoff have not been definitely picked, but will probably be McAllister or Meyers, and Rhodes, ends; Weir and Bas sett tackles; Berquist and Ogden, guards ; Hutchison or Westoupal, cen ters. There may be some last min ute changes made before the team takes the field. GLEASON IS CHOSEN HEAD CHEERLEADER Bradley, Junge, Roberts, and Sidles Selected as Assist ants to "Duke."

The lineup for the Oklahoma game Saturday will be as follows: Student section Duke Gleason. Bill Bradley, and Morris Roberts; reserved section Emmett Junge, head leader, Owens and Kamm, as sistants. Phil Sidles was picked out of the freshmen competitors -as yearling leader. These selections are only tempo rary and the ability shown in Satur day's game will prove their perman ency, the committee says. Some of the other men who showed out -standing ability may be called upon to fill vacancies within the next few weeks. New Pastor to Speak at Y.M.C.A. Meeting Dr. C.
