"Hurry-up" Yost Finds Campus Much
Changed Since He Was Coach in '98
ENGINEERING SOCIETY
PUBLICATION IS OUT
Fielding H. ("Hurry-Up") Yost,
who twenty-six years ago coached the
Nebraska football team, returned to
Lincoln Friday to scout the Illinois-
Nebraska game for his Michigan
team which plays Illinois a week from
Saturday.
"Hurry-Up" found things much
changed on the Nebraska campus,
Sitting at the top of Nebraska's new
Memorial Stadium Friday afternoon
with his old friend, "Cy" Sherman,
sports editor of The Lincoln Daily
Star, Yost gazed out over the campus.
"Right over there," he said as he
pointed to the Engineering Building
and the Law Building, "was where
we used to play football. The field
was as hard as pavement black gum
bo and there were cracks all over
it big enough to stick your finger
into. It wasn't much like that" And
he indicated the velvety green turf
of the Stadium, where the Nebras
ka team was warming up.
"I had only fourteen men on the
Varsity squad." He looked at the
squad on the field below, as if try
ing to count them.
"Lots of times we didn't have
enough men out to make two teams
so we could scrimmage, and often
there wasn't even a substitute line.
"I used to play tackle with the sub
stitutes. I had to to fill in. Then
sometimes I'd play fullback." Then
the famous coach smiled reminiscent-
ly but he refused to say what he did
to the Varsity team.
"Usually we had a team and one
backfield substitute and one line sub
stitute. We couldn't afford to take
any more if we did have them.
"My salary was fifteen hundred
year. At that time it wasn't so bad
What Yost's salary is now we hesitate
to, inquire.
"All those buildings have been
built since I left," and the coach with
a sweep of his arm indicated almost
every building on the campus except
University Hall, the Library, Phar
macy Hall and Nebraska Hall.
Yost and Sherman then began to
discuss old-time games and players
until the coach noticed that the fresh
men were using Illinois plays.
"ine oest thing i can do is watch
them," he declared, and he proceed
ed to do it '

October Number of Blue Print
Has Several Writeups of
Sigma Tau.
The October number of the Ne
braska Blue Print, monthly publics
teion of the student chapter of the
Nebraska Engineering Society, was
printed Saturday.
The opening article is a greeting to
the members of Sigma Tau who are
here for the annual convention. In
another article, the purpose of this
society is explained. Details about
the growth of the society and the
whereabouts of come of the past
members are given. The program
of the national conclave is also giv
en.
Among the articles of especial note
is one entitled, "Buildings of the An
dent East," by J. P. Nines, Constan
tinople. In this article the author
tells of the wonderful architecture
Deed in Greece in ancient times and
of the, "Skill and work that is not
equalled today." He also explains
that all lines appear to sag in the
middle and that, buildings alwsys
look larger t the top than at the
bottom. He said, "I mention these
things to show how they took Into
account besuty and perfection which
baa never been surpassed up to the
present time."
Other artlicles of note are, "The
Ampere, the Ohm, and the Volt," by
T. Townsend Smith, Professor of Ex
perimental Physics, and "Looking at
ute Canals on Our Neighbor Planet,
by Prof. G. D. Swezey.
The staff of the paper includes

"All freshmen must have their
green caps by Monday,," declares
Raymond Swallow, chairman of the
Innocents' green-cap committe. Far-
quhar's have 400 caps on hand since
receiving a new shipment
For the first-year men to wear
these caps is not a form of hazing
but is simply for the purpose of help
ing the class get better acquainted.
If the class wil cooperate in this re
spect it will be a great step toward
an organized class, Swallow believe.'.
These rules will be strictly enforc
ed this year by the sophomores. A
strict check will be made on the
freshmen Monday by the Iron
Sphinx.
Many green caps were seen at the
game Saturday and every freshman
is expected to have his cap by the
next home game. The caps can be
purchased at Farquhar's, 1325
Street for 75 cents.

Not Test of Strength.
This game cannot be a test of in

concluding. "Coach Zuppke and 1
scheduled these games last year,
Neither team has had ample time to
develop its full strength and we need
the support of the student body. The
rest' of the schedule is just as hard
as this. If we lose we need the sup

capped by lack of, experience and
weight, but if Illinois wins they will
have defeated a fighting, battling
team. We offer no excuses, abso
lutely regardless of the outcome of
the game. We may learn something
about loyalty from football and we
need your spirit and devotion in this
contest."

armbands. These are sincerely ap
preciated by the members of the
Illinois squad and myself."
"There is always danger of too
zealous partisanship in college
athletics' Mr. Zuppke concluded,
"but this should make the already

BRITTON'S GOAL FROM PLACEMENT CLINCHES GAME
Nebraska's green team was unable to withstand the per
fect aerif 1 attack of the Illini at Stadium field Saturday after
noon am' lost a bitterly fought game to the Big Ten champions,
9 to 6.
Unable to beat the Cornhuskers by straight football, the
Illinois team opened up a passing game that astonished the
huge crowd which witnessed the contest.
This tells the story :
Yards by straight football Nebraska, 145 ; Illinois, 91.
Yards from passes Nebraska, 0; Illinois, 103.
"Choppy" Rhodes, Cornhusker left halfback who was
transferred last week from his position at end, proved the hero
of the day. Rhodes broke away in the first quarter for 37
yards and a touchdown. Eluding many tacklers, including the
great "Red" Grange, ail-American halfback, Rhodes finally got
a clear field.
John "Choppy" Rhodes who broke
through the Illinois line, eluded the
backfield, and made a touchdown in
the first quarter of the Saturday
game after the Huskers had carried
the ball down to the 37-yard line with
a series of line-plunges. Rhodes bore
the brunt of the Husker offensive,
carrying the ball almost half of the
time In the first quarter.
Illinois' first touchdown came as
the result of a wonderful passing at
tack which carried the ball from the
middle of the field to the goal line.
Three passes by "Red" Grange, which
netted 23, 8 and 8 yards brought the
score. An 8-yard pass, Grange to
Kassel, brought the touchdown.
In the last quarter, after passes
and line plays had failed, Britton, 111
nois fullback, dropped back to the
27-yard line and kicked a goal from
placement.
Ever since he began to play foot
ball for Nebraska it has been Rhodes'
ambition to play in the backfield. At
the end of last season it seemer assur
ed that he would be transferred, but
when practice started he was back
at his old place at end. Injuries to
Locke and Mielenz forced a change in
the lineup and Rhodes was placed at
halfback. His work in the game seems
to have assured him of the accom
plishment of his desire to play in the
backfield.
Rhodes Bears Brant
Early in the game it became appar
ent that Rhodes was to bear the brunt
of the Nebraska offensive. The game
might well have been termed:
"Choppy" Rhodes vs. "Red" Grange,
Grange, watched like a hawk by the
Nebraska team, was usually smother
ed before he got started. On two oc
casions he got away and proved that
his reputation as an open-field run
ner was deserved. Tackier after tack
ier dived at Grange but he seemed to
be impossible to touch. Nebraskans
who saw him in action did not won
der why he made the ail-American.
Great as was the offensive work of
these two stars, toe deiensive work of
the entire .Nebraska team was even
more impressive. Doug Meyers, luu-
back, spuied piay alter piay; Collin,
end, whose chance came as a result
of a switch in the lineup, played a
great game; Captain Ed Weir let
little through his side of the line. Joe
Weir, lbo-pound guard, "kid broth-
of the captain, aiso went welL
Molzen, giant red-headed tackle,
played a bang-up game and Robert
sun, right end and veteran of last
year, spilled "Ked" Grange time after
time lor losses or no gain.
Hutchinson Breaks Collarbone
Hutchinson, Nebraska center, re
ceived a broken collarbone in the
first quarter, he will probably be out
for the rest ol the Beason. Wostoupal
played the center position most of the
game.
Nebraska's inability to get away
with passes, or to stop the Illinois
throws, probably cost the Huskers the
game, bo far as straight football was
concerned the Huskers were superior.
as is indicated by the yardage. "Ked"
Grange's great tnrows and the un
canny auiuty of Illinois men to pull
the ball out of the air were too much
for Nebraska.
Locke, halfback who was injured
last week, went into the game in the
last few minutes in spite of a bad
ankle. Kainm, quarterback, replaced
Bloodgood at about the same time.
"Benny" Leonard, Illini halfback
who made the team this year at the
expense of a veteran, went well. Gal-
livan, quarterback, made a good
showing.
Britton Kicks Goal
Britton, veteran fullback, display
ed his usual ability at kicking. Brit
ton tried two seemingly impossible
placement kicks from the middle of
the field and finally kicked a goal
from the 27-yard line. Bloodgood
also tried a drop-kick for a field goal.
"Red" Grange flashed his open
field running ability twice once
when he returned a punt and once, on
a complicated triple pass behind the
line, when he tore away for 22 yards.
Grange's ability was of use even
when he was not in piay. 'ine XMh-
braska men, in their cealous watch1
of the Illini star, sometimes overlook-;
ed the other backs, who got awa
fcr gains. Britton once broke
through for 15 yards while the Corn
huskers were keeping track of
Grange.
Bloodgood and Britton both got
away veu u. its jisauas giuns. j
Bloodgood's kicks averaged 41 yards,
Britton's 46.
Taken by Surprise
The Illini were apparently taken
by surprise in the opening of the
game at the strength of the Nebras
ka offense. Determined to play a
defensive game and then open up
long enough to score and win, the
Illini allowed Nebraska to take the
ball early in the game . Later it ap
peared that the Cornhuskers could not
be trusted to take the ball. They
showed altogether too much power.
Then it was than the Illini opened
up on passes. A short kick by Blood
good gave the Illinois team the ball
in the middle of the field. Line plays
and end runs failed, so Grange be
gan tossing passes, with the result
that Kassel soon went over the line
for a touchdown.
Stadium Not Fil'ed.
The Stadium was not filled for the
game but the crowd was estimated at
about 25,000. Between halves, the
Tassels, a women's "pep" organiza
tion, put on a stunt. Members of the
Tassels rode horses around the track
and marched in an N formation.
Students in the student section
gave the Illinois yell and the band
played the "Blue and Gold," Illinois
field song.
