TRIP WILL BE MADE DIRECTLY TO NORMAN Twenty-five Nebraska football men will leave for Norman, Okla., at 1:45 today to clash Saturday with the Oklahoma Sooners. No stop-overs will be made; the team will go direct ly to Norman. The squad, with the exception of Locke and Mielenz, halfbacks, is in good shBpe. Collins, end, and Mol len, tackle, who have been on the in jured list, were back in the lineup at the last practice Wednesday evening The Sooners, who went down to defeat, 2 to 0, before the Oklahoma State Teachers last Saturday, will be back ready to try and erase this blot on their record by beating the Corn huskers. The unexpected result of last Saturday's game has been attrib uted largely to over-confidence. Reports from the Oklahoma school state that the team is the heaviest in several years and that the backfield and line of last year is practically the same. This being true, there is no doubt that Oklahoma has a strong team, regardless of the result of last Saturday's little affair. Captain Bristow, Hendricks, and Lamb, letter men, will be back and Ledford, 180-pound halfback who starred two years ago in Okahoma high school circles, will fill the fourth position behind the line. Price and Mathias, ends, are both veterans. Smoot, who made all-Valley tackle in 1920, has returned to school and is playing tackle, with Pennick, two-year letter man, at the other tackle. Schaefer, guard, is a letter man, while the other guard, Wallace, who weighs 190 pounds, is showing great ability. White, center, is a two-year letter man. The following Nebraska men will make the trip: Captain Ed Weir, tackle. Crites, fullback. Bloodgood, quarterback. Gray, tackle. R. Mandery, end. Ristine, fullback. Hubka, guard. Grow, center. Molzen, tackle. Myers, fullback. Gross, guard. Pospisil, guard. Wostoupal, center. Robertson, end. Bronson, quarterback. Kamm, quarterback. x Smith, halfback. Dailey, halfback. Ford, end. Joe Weir, guard. Scholz, guard. Ogden, guard. A. Mandery, halfback. Rhodes, halfback. Collins, end. Coach Dawson and Assistant Coaches Day and Frank will accom pany the team. Dr. Harry Everett, physician, and Mrs. Everett will also go. Other members of the party will be H. D. Gish, of the athletic office, Ed Stemen, football manager, and "Doc" McLean, trainer. CHANGE FOOTBALL ROLES TO BIG TEH Conference Officials Meet in Chicago and Make Im portant Alteration. ' In a meeting held in Chicago with Major John Griffith, athletic com missioner for the Big Tea confer ence, several changes were made In the interpretations of football rules. Leading officials of the western con ference were also present. No more protection than at any other time shall be given a passer, according to the new rule on rough ing a passer. Another decision states that a heel hole may be made in the ground to rest the ball preliminary to the kick off. This applies to the much dis cussed ruling out of the tee which formerly held the pigskin. Other decisions: All four officials are held responsible for a mistake in the interpretation of the rules. The management of the home team must provide a pistol and holster which the flield judge is required to carry to be fired at the end of quar ters, as well as at the end of halves. To the rule "Any player may re cover a kicked ball which has not crossed the line ef scrimmage," the following amendment was added; "Or touched by an offside man." A forwlard pass is held completed when it is momentarily held secure in the field of play. When the ball is fumbled on a try for goaL the de fense may not score. A player hold ing the ball for a place-kick will not be considered offside. The referee is to keep the record of the two- minute periods of time called out by captains.
