THE DAILY NEBRASKAN SPECULATE AS TO ROCKNE'S PLANS Notre Dame Coach Has Habit of Starting Second String Men. Cornhuskera are wondering wheth er Knute Rockne will have the necg sary nerve to start his second string team against the Husk era. So far this method has proved very success ful and it is probable that it will be followed. There is a psychological twist to this matter of starting the reserves that probably has had something to do with Notre Dame's success. A team that has battled with a reserve team for a quarter and has been un able to get anywhere worth mention ing is likely to become discouraged when the real team is sent in. In spite of this talk about a "sec ond team" there is probably little dif ference between the Rockne regulars and the reserves. Any reserve team that can hold some of the leading elevens in the country on even terms is not to be taken lightly. Usually the first string has not done a great deal better than the reserves. Clatter of Upset Dope Buckets Resounds Through Gridiron Worldl The clatter of tipped-over dope buckets re-echoed from wall to wall in a dozen football stadiums after victor and vanquished had withdrawn from battle scarred gridirons last Saturday. Teams favored to win by substantial margins went down to de feat, or were barely able to avert dis aster at the hands of teams that from all indications were of inferior strength. Due to their flawless record up to this time, coupled with the brilliant performances of "Red" Grange, the 21-to-21 tie to which Illinois was held by Coach Stagg's Chicago eleven, stands out as the biggest upset of the day. At one time the Chicago- ans led the Zuppke eleven 21 to 7, but the work of Grange served to pile up enough points to allow Illi nois to emerge from the battle with a tie score. The Illini are still in the race for the Big Ten champion ship, although Chicago is also unde feated in the conference. On the coast Washington Univer sity succeeded in holding the Cali fornia eleven to a 7-to-7 tie, in a game played on a rain-soaked field. Another point in. using the re-1 The Golden Bears scored first in the serves is to save the regulars. Rock re's first team men are light and fast. They are prone to grow leg weary if used for an entire game Then the snap is gone and the of fense has lost its power. Rockne wants to beat Nebraska, naturally, but he wants to win this year more than ever. Nebraska has smeared an otherwise perfect record for the last two years and this has naturally somewhat annoyed Rockne. Whether he will start his second team and trust to psychology, hoping that the seconds can hold the Husk ers, is problematical. If the Husk ers should smash through the re serves and pile up a lead that could not be overcome, Rockne would prob ably curse the day that he ever heard of psychology. third quarter, but the Washington team launched an aerial attack that took the ball over the goal line. It was the third time in four years that the Californians have been tied. In the same period of years they have never suffered a defeat. The defeat of Southern California at the hands of St. Mary's was very much of an upset, as the Methodists had shown a great deal of strength against California last week holding them to a 6-to-0 count. In the east Princeton, playing a wonderful brand of football crushed the Harvard team 34 to 0. It was the worst defeat Harvard has ever suffered. They were completely out classed by the Princeton Tigers and the crowd of 55,000 people who packed the Harvard stadium, saw Notre Dame Line Is Quite Competent Despite Rockne9 s First Predictions By Ed Morrow (Sports Editor Nebraskan.) Having discussed the Notre Dame backfield, the line might now be giv en a little attention. This line, from all reports, is indeed deserving of more than a little attention. A light forward wall, that has stopped the heavy linemen of half a dozen good teams, is something to ponder over. Knute Rockne moaned in his usual mournful key this fall that he "didn't have a line." Teams that have played against the inefficient line of Mr. Rockne's may be inclined to be lieve that he was spoofing. As usual Mr. Rockne has a pair of ends who have managed to get along this far without being imposed upon. Rockne was an end himself and he seems to have learned the art of teaching the other boys something about the assignment. His tackles, "Rip" Miller and Wei bel, have caused moro or less annoy ance to opposing backs who cherished the mistaken idea that they were easy to plunge through. The Army, Princeton, Georgia Tech and Wiscon sin found that these young gentle men are reasonably capable. The bulwark of the center of the line is Walsh, center and captain, who has shown a striking leaning toward making this year's ail-American. Perhaps even the exclusive Mr. Camp may take off his reading glass es and look far enough across the Alleghenies to see Walsh. Hard luck has handicapped the Notre Dame star so far this season. A broken hand received early in the season has kept him out of one or two games. He played against Wis consin, however, and he will undoubt edly be in good condition to tackle the Huskers. Centers who have played against Walsh may have won dered what he would be like if he were in shape, while Captain Ed Weir, whose play ing has verged on the ail-American quality, is at the other tackle. Weir had been bothered by injuries most of the season and his work has not been up to standard. Against Col gate, when he was in good shape, he played so well that the New York boys finally detailed three men to take him out. Molzen, also has been in poor condition due to injur ies and has been given only light work for the past week. Neither will be in top shape Saturday. Rob Roy Robertson, an end who is good enough on defense to cause any football player to lose a night's sleep, will be at one end. Robertson has shown an unfortunate lack of ability to catch a ball, however, and adds little to the threat of the team on offense. Collins, who is stationed at the left wing, is also a fine end. Collins is able to catch a football without the aid of a basket in addi tion to being a fast man down the field and a genuine obstruction in the way of plays directed at his end. Roy Mandery, heavy and fast, and a good man for the passing game, is distressingly green. If he knew enough about football to assist him greatly on defense he might force one of the regulars to fight harder for his job. So far as the ends are concerned, Nebraska is strong. If the other linemen were equally cap able the Huskers would have less to worry about. their team wafted aside like a feather in a high wind. Rutgers looked better than ever against Lafayette, a team which should have given them a hard game. The Rutgers backs had little trouble in going through the Lafayette elev. en, and defeated them decisively 43 to 7. Pennsylvania, undefeated in the east, had a narrow escape against the supposedly inferior Georgetown University team, winning a hard fought game 3 to 0. In view of the fact that Lafayette was defeated by Penn last week by the small margin of 6 to 3, and were so decisively de. feated by Rutgers, Rutgers looks like the real champions in the eastern sections. West Virginia schools made a gala day of the occasion, West Virginia university tromping on Colgate 84 to 2, and West Virginia Wesleyan de feating Syracuse 7 to 3 the first defeat the Orange team has suffered this year, although they were held to a 7-to-7 tie by Penn State two weeks ago. Another big surprise in Big Ten circles was the defeat of Ohio State by Indiana 12 to 7. Ohio State is quite a problem this year. Against some teams they have shown surpris ing strength, and against others they have looked like a small college team Three tie games embellish the Ohio State record so far this season, two of the tie scores being registered against strong Big Ten opponents, Iowa and Chicago. Notre Dame did just what was ex. pected of them and won from the Wisconsin Badgers without being forced to extend themselves. When the whistle ended the game, the Irish first and second team had 38 points to the Badgers 3. Next week comes the big game of the season. All eyes will be turn ed toward the Notre Dame-Nebraska game, and what will happen on the South Bend gridiron will un doubtedly go down in the first pages of football history. Last year came the cry, "Who ' will stop Notre Dame?" The Cornhuskers brought forth a decisive reply. The fans ask the same question this year, but they qualify it by saying, "Who will stop Notre Dame, if Nebraska does not?" Results of other important games were : Ames 7, Minnesota 7.

Motor Out Company, 1120 P street announces that it is doubling its fleet Hutrhinnon or Won-! of dosed cars, new models, balloon toupal will probably have the privi lege of finding out. Nebraska's line this year has not measured up to the famous forward walls of previous years. Lyman, Pucelik, Berquist, Weller, Peterson, Day, and the other great linemen who have caused the bright dreams of many teams to vanish, are gone. In their place are men far less ex perienced and much lighter. Hutchinson, who has been out of the game since the Illinois clash, will probably be back. If he were in good shape there would be little doubt that he would give Walsh plen ty to keep him busy. Hutchinson scales 191. Wostoupal, who has been filling in for Hutchinson, has played very smart football. As Wostoupal is likely to hold down the center for at least part of the game it is well to count on him. Wostoupal has the weight, but lacks Hutchinson's ag gressiveness and experience. Hubka, a 185-pound guard, Van played a fairly good game, but not one that would cause the football critics to become excited. Joe Weir, the 165-pound running mate of Hub ka, is scrappy but light and inexperi enced. Cgden, 210, who showed up well last year, has been doing fairly well this year and may be given a chance to start against the Irish. Pos pisil, a new man, has been showing a world of fight If he had more expe rience, he would go big.
