RUFUS DEWITZ
Rufus is a triple threat man. His
line smashing and end running have
been something that will go down in
the annals of football history as
spectacular football. Rufe is an
accurate passer, it was he who shot
the oval to Dave Noble in the Notre
Dame game. He also starred in that
game as well as in the Syracuse and
Ames games by his end running.
Rufe like his brother Herb is a won
derful side stepper and twister, and
once he is started opponents might
as well hang up their hats, for he is
gone. He has another year to play
and even greater things are expected
of him next year. He comes from
Stanton where he also played high
school football. He is a member of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

JOE WOSTOUPAL
Joe is another Husker pivot man
whose passes have been accurate on
every play and his tearing up the line
and resulted in many successful cen
ter rushes. Joe is a good man on
the defense and he plays roving cen
ter and is a deadly tackier. He has
two more years on the squad and his
snap-back game improves on every
play. Before he finishes his football
career at Nebraska he will make a
name for himself in Valley circles.
Joe's home is at West Point, where
he played High school football. He
is a member of Delta Upsilon.

eugene McAllister
Mac is playing his second year as
a Husker man. He is a deadly tackier
and seldom does a play get around
his end. Mac starred in the Illinois
game when he downed the punt re
ceiver in his tracks on every kick.
On the offense, Mac is a good pass
snatcher and his speed enables him
to complete a pass for good gains.
He is very fast and knows football
and much is expected of him next
year. Mac's ability at stopping plays
around his end is a much talked of
subject. He always floats his man
out then breaks through the inter
ference and nails his man. His
home is in Lincoln, where he played
football with the Agricultural college
for three years. He is a member of
Alpha Sigma Phi.
WARREN OCDEN
Oggie played his first College foot
ball in the game at Illinois and he
was a whirlwind in the line. He
played as though that had been his
favorite pastime for years. He tips
the scale at 205 and he is never so
happy as when a signal is called
through his guard so he can go in
there and tear out a hole. On the
defense he is a human battering ram.
He breaks through opponent's line
on every play. Especially did he
shine in the Syracuse game when
he held the heffy Orange line from
a gain through his station. His home
is at Genoa. He is a member of
Alpha Sigma Phi.
quarter, Nebraska had the ball in
Oklahoma's territory all of the time,
but the only score was made by a
perfect field goal kicked by Herb
Dewitz.
Nebraska opened up in the last
half and went down for a touchdown
right after the half opened. Dave
Noble carried the pigskin over for
the first count. Locke made two
pretty end runs in this quarter. In
the fourth quarter, Oklahoma had
the ball on Nebraska's four yard line
when "Doug" Meyers grabbed a
fumbled and ran ninety-four yards
for Nebraska's second touchdown.
During the last quarter, the Soon
ers opened up with their spectacular
passing, but failed to score. Dave
Noble again made a touchdown after
Locke had intercepted a pass and
made a long run.
After their decisive defeat of the
Oklahoma team, the Cornhuskers
were picked to win over Kansas In
the Homecoming 0ame on the Ne
braska field October 20, but the dup
was upset and both schools had to be

JOHN RHODES
Although this is Choppy's first year
as a Varsity performer he handles
himself like a veteran. Choppy's
offensive ability at grabbing passes
has counted good gains for the Husk
ers. Choppy has also been used to
carry the ball to good advantage and
he made good gains especially in the
Missouri game when he broke away
for a forty yard run. He is a clever
and aggresive end and he always gets
his man. He is a player of no mean
passing ability and the way in which
he passes has completely outguessed
the opponents. Choppy may be used
in the backfield next year although
he is a very valuable wing man. His
home is Ansley. He is a member of
Sigma NU.
MELVIN COLLINS
Collie is another Husker end man
. that grabs 'em while they're hot.
Collie's offensive work was a feature
against Ames when he caught three
difficult passes for a total of forty
yards. He is fast nd has a knack
of breaking through opposing inter
ference and throwing his man before
he gets in Collie's territory. He has
one more year on the squad. He re
ceived most of pre-collegiate football
experience at Wakefield, Nebr.,
where he was an understudy of ex
Captain Swanson. He is a member
of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
satiHfied with a scoreless tie.
Although neither team scored,
statistics show that the Cornhuskers
had the best of the argument in all
departments of the game. Both
teams played a wonderful defensive
game. Both goal lines were in dan
ger, but neither team had the punch
to get the ball over.
The line plunging of Dave Noble
was the feature of the game. Big
Dave made a gain every time he took
the ball. The Dewiti brothers and
"Gip" Locke did some very good
work. Captain Lewellen was in the
game part of the time, but was still
handicapped very much by his knee
and could not get, into the ffp.me very
much. .
The next week the Nebraska squad
journeyed to Missouri And again
played a tie, this time for 7 to 7
score. A muddy field was a great
handicap for the big: Nebraska backs.
Missouri scored early in the first
half, when they blocked a punt and
then completed a forward pass. Ne
braska's score was made by Captain

EDWIN WEIR
This is Ed's first year in Husker
moleskins and already he is getting
mention from newspaper writers as
a great tackle. Ed's favorite pastime
is breaking through and throwing
opposing backs for losses. In the
Notre Dame and Syracuse games as
well as in -most of the Valley games
he broke through and threw the ball
luggers for big loses. Few gains are
ever made through his side of the
line by opponents and he tears huge
holes in opposing walls for the
Husker backs. Ed is not very heavy
but he makes up for his lack of
weight in his speed and shiftiness.
Ed is a deadly tackier, when he hits
'em they stop. His home is at Su
perior, where he was an all state half
back on the Superior High school
team. Ed is a member of the Acacia
fraternity.

ROB ROY ROBERTSON
This is Bob's first year at the pig
skin game since he came to Univer
sity. He won recognition in the
Notre Dame game when he played
his end on every play and not once
were the famed Notre Dame ball
luggers able to get a gain around his
end. Bob dumps the interference
and then gets his man. He made the
first touchdown against Ames when
he carried the ball over the line on
a ten-yard end run. Bob has two
more years as a varsity performer
and he will make a regular wing man
next year. His home is at Broken
Bow. He is a member of Kappa
Sigma.
Lewellen in a seventy-five yard run
after intercepting a forward pass.
In the second half, Big Dave Noble
made a spectacular end run for forty
three yards and placed the ball on
Missouri's six yard lino, but the Ne
braska team failed to shove the ball
over, and the game ended without
further scoring.
The next game, in which Nebraska
defeated Notre Dame 14 to 7, was
the game which surprised the coun
try and made Nebraska the most
talkcd-of school for some time. That
the much-heralded "wonder team of
Amcric" could be beaten by the
sqtyid which had bowed to Illinois
and failed to beat anas and Mis
souri was thought impossible by
everyone, except Nebraskars.
Three whole teams which were
brought . here by Coach Knute
Rockne could not hold the fighting
Cornhuskcrs. As it was said after
the game, the Nebraska nun were
super-men and they played a super
game. The team played by far its

HAROLD HUTCHISON
Hutch has been holding down the
snap-back position with good con
sistent playing. He is p. second Bill
Day. His passes are always accurate
and when a hole is needed through
the center of the line Hutch can be
depended upon to make it. His de
fensive work is that of an all-Amer-ican.
Hutch throws opponents hard
when they try the center of the line
or if they attempt a try at the ends
he is there to nail them. Hutch has
starred in every game this year at
the pivot position, a place where a
player gets little credit. In the next
two years he will develop into a
great Cornhusker gridster. His home
is in Lincoln where he played with
Lincoln High for three years. He is
a member of Phi Gamma Delta.
n
JUNIOR HINMAN
Junior is one of the hardest candi
dates on the squad. He is almost
too light for a berth but his stick-to-it-iveness
has been commendable
and when he is called in scrimmage
he always delivers the goods. Junior
is a quarterback from North Platte.
He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta.

GEORGE RANDOLPH.
"Bud" Randolph is not a letter
man this year, but he has afforded
some stiff competition for the back
field men. He does not have the
weight that would grant him a posi
tion although his speed and general
ability gives him consideration. With
sortie of the regulars oat nxt yer
and with a year of good experience,
He lives at Kearney and is a
member of Beta Theta Pi.
