LIGHTWORKOUT
Dave Noble Takes Rest Cure
For His Injured
Ankle.
SPORT WRITERS CLAIM
IRISH TRAVEL-WORN
The fighting Cornhuskers, con
querors of the "world'er wonder
team" from Notre Dame, carried on
a light workout on the stadium field
Monday afternoon in the first prac
tice in preparation for the yearly
game with Iowa State university ni
Ames next Saturday.
With the exception of Dave NoVe,
star halfback, the Husker squad is in
good shape. Big Dave is suffering
from a severe ankle bruise received
in the game Saturday. An X-ray
was taken of the limb at the San
itarium by Dr. Oliver Everett and it
was discovered that no bones were
broken, but a severe wrench had
been sustained and one of the bones
slightly nicked. Dr. Everett's advice
was to keep him off his feet for a
few days. He said he could strap it
up in such a way as to enable him to
get in the Ames game Saturday.
Dave received the injury in the
first half of the contest and between
halves it was wrapped and he re
turned to the fray, getting for him
self more glory by nabbing the pass
from Rufe Dewitz that spelled the
second touchdown.
Eastern Writers' Alibi.
The eastern writers just can't give
Nebraska the credit she deserves for
winning one of the greatest game in
the history of the school. They offer
excuses for Notre Dame that she was
train-weary and that she was suf
fering from a hard schedule and sev
eral other details, anything suffices
if it acts as an excuse for the "won
der team." Where they get that
"train-weary" stuff we can't quite
figure out.
Surely a ride from South Bend,
Ind., wouldn't knock out thirty-seven
players so bad that they couldn't hit
their stride. They have played their
last two games at home, meeting Pur
due and Ceorgia Tech. Speaking of
"Train Weariness," Nebraska has
been to Missouri since Notre Dame
has left her home lot so that argu
ment is almost annihilated. And
turning to their second excuse, about
suffering from a hard schedule, sure
ly they don't consider the Purdue
game a hard one after a Notre Dame
sport writer made a statement like
this: "Purdue game just a warmup."
The game with Purdue was more
than a mere warmup in making ready
for Nebraska. Rockne sent his sec
ond and third stringers against Pur
due running up a one-sided score
The Notre Dame regulars were in ac
tion only a few minutes, just long
enough for a workout in preparation
the squad for its bit of personal work
the job of getting even with Ne
braska for its last year's defeat.
That argument won't hold very
much water.
It is up to the football followers of
Nebraska to believe in their own con
victions rather than take in the ex
cuses offered by the eastern sport
writers.
The team has won one of the great
est games in its history but it still
realizes the fact that three hard
tames are still on the slate.

appearance of the University cadet
corps at the review Saturday morn

promised all attendants.
The purpose of the pow wow is
to unite the freshmen class tfor the
coming Olympic games and the rep
resentatives of the green capsters in
the coming event will be announced
at the rally. The tryouts are being
held this week and winning repre

VARSITY SWIMMERS
TAKE FIRST WORKOUT
Heavy Practice Will Start Soon
to Whip Men into
Shape.
The varsity swimming team started
off the year yesterday with the first
practice at the Y. M. C. A. Fifteen
of the sixteen men who attended the
meeting held last Thursday afternoon
at the Armory were out. Cotch
Frank Adkins gave the men a light
workout only. Heavy practice will
start in a few days after the men
limber up a bit.
Coach Adkins says he is still short
of men for fancy diving, plunging for
distance, and distance swimming. The
men who held these places on the
team last year have graduated, and
Adkins will probably have to develop
some new men to take their places.
In the other events there is a fine
turnout and competition will be keen.
Coach Adkins wishes to stress the
point that any.man who wants to
swim and make the team should come
out for the practices any time. There
is no red tape connected with at
tendance, and selection of men on
the team will be on the basis of merit
alone. The regular practice nights
are Mondav.Wednesday and Friday
from 5:30 to 6:30. The men who
signed up for the team have also
aereed to swim one hour on the days
that the team does not meet.
The schedule when it is finally
completed will include three meets,
and there is a possibility tnat it wiu
consist of four. Negotiations are in
nrnrrpsa HOW m-ith Ames. Kansas Ag
gies, Washington and the Omaha Ath
letic club.
The fifteen men who reported last
night for the initial practice are: Dan
Reed, Jack Hunton, Frank Hunton,
TTrhrt Elrich. L. R. Schildneck, B.
Ilgen, Theo. Matzner, Kenival Martin,
N. Foote, E. G. Steinheimer, P. E.
Popejoy, C. E. Simond, S. P. Mitcnei,
Lloyd P. Sheldneck and Ed Pauck.
We Must Beat Ames
Nebraska won from a football team that has been
called the greatest team in America but that doesn't
mean that Nebraska can win the remainder of hdr sched
ule on the momentum and prestige that she has gained.
That fight-and-concede-nothing attitude that the
students took a week before the Notre Dame invasion
and maintained until the game was over Saturday must
not relax. There are three healthy football teams ahead
that will have a reputation to gain and nothing to lose.
They will be in exactly the same position that Nebraska
was but a week ago and they intend to duplicate the
Cornhusker feat.
Ames looms up as a team that can take the measure
of the Huskers if that student spirit and fight is not kept
at the highest pitch. There are but three more weeks of
football and it is for every student to resolve that those
three weeks shall be as triumphant as the earlier part
of the season has been. Fighting spirit will do it.
Let this be BEAT AMES week, let the next be BEAT
SYRACUSE week, and finally BEAT KANSAS AGGIE
week. To accomplish those three ends, there must be a
wealth of fight from the students.
You have that determination in you. Show it for
the next three weeks and the glory of the football world
shall fall on the great team that stopped the wild, gal
loping Irish.
Craig Offers Jobs
to Campus Satirists
Applications for positions on the
student life section of the Cornhusker
will be received during the next
two days, according to Robert F.

the basement of University hall. The
whole staff will be announced by the
editor in a few days.

From freshman registration slips
giving personal information and from
similar lists of last year the Univers
ity pastors of the various churches
have prepared a table showing the
approximate representation- of the
several denominations at the Univers

per cent of the students belong to
some church when they enter the
University. The growth in strength
of the churches has kept in propor
tion with the growth of the Univers
ity; the Methodists lead by a large
nargin, Presbyterians are second,
and Congregationalists are third. The
list follows:
Methodist 1200
Presbyterian 800
Congregational ( 600

FIRST YEAR SQUAD
USES AMES PLAYS
Twenty-five Freshmen Will
Make Trip Saturday
with Varsity.
The freshman team, bruised and
beaten from the hardest week of
scrimmage this fall, was out again
yesterday to do its bit in preparing
the fighting Cornhuskers for the
remaining gib games of the season.
All last week, uncomplainingly, the
freshmen faced the varsity and were
targets for new Nebraska formations,
and they bore the" firece tackling of
the regulars when they rehearsed No
tre Dame formations. It is partly
due to the good work of the freshmen
in playing the Notre Dame formations
that the varsity won so decisively
last Saturday.
As a reward for their hard work
all season, twenty-five freshmen who
have been most faithful in the prac
tices and who have shown the great
est football ability will be given a trip
with the varsity to Ames where they
will see the Cornhuskers in action
against one of Nebraska's strong con
ference opponents.
Coach Farley Young said yesterday
that the final choice of those who will
make the trip to Ames will be made at
the close of the last scrimmage this
week.
Yesterday the yearlings were hard
at it again on their field east of So
cial Science building, learning Ames
formations, and general style of play,
which they will try against the var
sity in the regular evening scrim
mages. Kamm was quarterback on the
first squad, and had as running mates
Mandcry, Burnham and DuTeau.
Grow was holding down his old po
sition of center. Jones played left
guard and Swearingen right guard.
Weir was playing his old style of
tearing, smashing game at right
tackle. Ford at right end caught a
lot of good passes heaved to him by
Mandery and Kamm.
There were just enough men out
for three teams, which were run thru
signal practice by Coach Young. In
the scrimmage the third team was
split up and the men used as substi
tutes for the two teams.
