VIndian" Schulte came to Nebraska six years ago from Mis souri where he had made .a wonder ful record with hi track teams. He is head track coach at Nebraska and line coach for the football teams. Nebraska has been known for strong lines on its football teams and Schul te has done much to build these lines. Since coming to Nebraska, Schulto has won four successive Missouri Valley track championships. Mis souri, his former school, was once the valley king on the cinder track, but since losing Schulte it has tak en Nebraska's dust Schulte played football on "Hur ry-Up" Yost's famous "point-a-min-ute" teams at the University of Michigan. There he became known as a great lineman. His knowledge of track athletics has been mostly gained since then, and so thorough ly has he learned that he is now known as one of the foremost track coaches in the country. Perhaps the greatest work Schulto has done since coming to Nebraska is with the high schools of the state. When he arrived track athletics in the state amounted to little; now through Schulte's advice and promo tion, Nebraska ranks high among the states in. this field. The annual cross country run for high schools and the pentathlon are the products of Schulte's work. They have stimulated interest until the an nual state high school track meet is one of the big events of the college year. There are few high school men in the state who do not know "Indian" Schulte. To Broadcast Accounts of All Football Games Accounts of football games played at Nebraska will be broadcast by the University Radio Station, WFAV. Football and radio fans within a rad ius of 300 or 400 miles will be able to hear a play-by-play account of the games. A special microphone exten sion will be run from the transmitter in the Electrical Engineering build ing to the side of the field. Various programs consisting of short lectures and music will be broadcast throughout the winter un der the supervision of the University Extension Division. Dean W. T. Stockdale of the Chad ron State Teachers College is taking the place of Prof. E. W. Lantz, who is at Columbia University doing re search work leading to the doctor's degree. Registration Heavy in Coaching course In the new four-yea course in athletic coaching offered by the Teachers College under the direction of the athletic coaching staff, the registration is heavy. The general plan of the course is to prepare stu dents to coach the athletics of a school and at the same time teach one or two other subjects. Instruc tion will be offered in all sports. The University of Illinois is the only oth er institution in the middle-west that has a well developed four-year course in athletic coaching. The Uni versity of Michigan has also attempt ed some work along this line. A number of courses will be offered in this department next summer. Dean W, E. Sealock of the Teach ers College attended the county insti tute at Minden last week. Squad Round Into Shape Af ter Week of Practice on Fundamental. START AERIAL WORK UNDER COACH KLINE With the first week of football practice over and most of the squad rounding into good condition, some stiff scrimmage practice is promised for the second week. . Blocking, tackling, kicking and running with the ball have made up the bulk of the practice so far. Coach Kline was scheduled to put the squad through some stiff practice in the aerial game during the second week. Due to lack of equipment, the freshman squad will not begin prac tice until Monday. The Varsity squad this year has been so large that all the football gear has been given out A cutting of the squad to lessen this difficulty was promised. The freshman squad will probably take some time to get into condition, after which the annual varsity-freshman, game will be played. Captain Weir, Locke, Bloodgood, Dailey and A. Mandery have been showing up well in the kicking end of the game. Captain Weir's kicking has been going good. Should the Nebraska leader develop into a reli able kicker, his ability to run with the ball might come in to better ad vantage. From this group Coach Dawson should be able to develop a kicker who will be a real asset to the team. Teom Ha Stiff Practice. The first real heavy practice was put on the last of the week. The linemen toiled at the heavier tasks, although the ends and backs were also given their share of work. Coach Dawson's greatest difficul ty will b? in developing a backfield from the green material at hand. Locke, the speedster of the squad, who played in several games last year, may develop into' a fine back. Avard Mandery has also shown promise. Dailey, a speedy product of the track squad, may show well. Backfield I Lighter. This year's backfield will not be as heavy as those of former years, but it should be 'somewhat more speedy. Some of the beef will be lacking from the line also. With the Illinois game two weeks from Saturday, the squad will have to be put through the paces with some speed. With a green squad this is almost impossible at first, but ft .7, 0 e n r dtfT! tf-sWlW'" :- - A The 1924 Cornhusker football aquad as it appears at the beginning of Its second week of practice, Its clash ' with the Illinois team being only two weeks away. things should move with considerable zip before long. Al Bloodgood has been showing up well Jn the contest for the quarter back berth and Doug Myers looks like a likely selection for fullback. Myers is somewhat on the style of Hartman, the bone crusher of last year. "He isn't an open field run ner; hell Just open the field," some one remarked at practice after watching Myers run over and down a would-be tackier. Rhodes and Robertson, of last year's squad, are showing well at ends and they should repeat in hold ing the wing positions. Several oth ers are displaying enough stuff to furnish some competition. FRESHMAN GRIDSTERS . START GRIND MONDAY Several Former All-State Star and High School Men Will Report When Head Coach Dawson sounds first call for freshmen football can didates, several former all-state high school grid stars are expected to re port to serve under Husker colors for the first time. The Husker men tor will probably issue moleskins to the freshmen this week with the ini tial workout being slated for Monday. The local coaching staff will be busy during the first two weeks of drill with the inexperienced Varsity, al though the grid assistants will alter nate in tutoring the freshmen. Among those who are registered in school and have made known their intention of bidding for berths on the first year machine are John "Jug" Brown, former Lincoln high pilot; Vinton Lawson, Omaha Central stel lar lineman; Lawrence Malm, Nor folk high star; Oelrich, Columbus halfback, and Rlesh, Grand Island tackle. All these gridsters received mention on mythical high school elevens last fall. ' State colleges as well as adjacent states are sending Nebraska the ser vices of their athletes. Bob Steph ens, Hastings college quarter, and all-state conference selection, and Armour of Wayne Normal are both enrolled in the Husker institution. Earl Voris, captain of the Greeley Colorado state champs two seasons ago, and his team mates James and Benton are also found on the list of promising college athletes. Voris is a coming end while James dots his stuff at center and Benton in the backfield. Omaha Central sends Mutt Fetter man and Harry Mays to' Nebraska; South high, Rusa Townsend and Jones; from Lincoln high comes Dor sey Mclntyre. Leon Sprague, York high wingster, is also entered in the local knowledge foundry together with Conklin of St Paul, Harbaugh of McCook, Pika of Kearney and Stiner from Hastings high.
