Missouri Valley title if Missouri loses
to Kansas," Cornhuskers are review

opinion seems to indicate that it is

Is Former Nebraska Basketball Coach
Paul Schissler, former Nebraska
basketball coach, whose Oregon Ag
gies will, clash with the Cornhuskers
this afternoon in the Memorial Sta
dium, is rated by those who know
him as one of the best football men
tors in the country.
After leaving Nebraska in 1922.
Schissler went to Lombard Collecre
where he turned out athletic teams
that surprised that section of the
country. His gridiron aggregations
were especially formidable. They
consistently won the championship
of the conference of which Lombard .
was a member. In 1923 the Lombard
grid machine, under the direction of
Schissler, held Coach Kp"4-" r.ockne a
"wonder team" of Nntr. .Jame to a
14-to-7 score a feat considered remarkable for so small

for the Nebraska game the new coach has "introduced a new brand of foot

Coach McMasters has been handi

before for a champion group of dis

Cross-country Men Have Poor
Record for Season With

PROSPECTS BRIGHTER
FOR NEXT YEAR'S TEAM
The 1924 cross-country season has
only one bright spot, the victory over
Kansas. At no time was the team en
tered in the field of competition with
its full strength available. As a re
sult the season's record consists of
a series of defeats broken by only
one victory.
The harrier squad with two of last
year letter men as members, and
four new runners, met the Oklahoma
team at Norman for the first race
of the season. Luck was with the
Sooner squad and they won by three
points. Rutherford, captain of the
southern team was the first man to
finish. Close on his heels came Zim
merman, the Husker captain, and
Lewis, a letter man from last fall
in 24 minutes, 39 seconds. Six Ag
gie runners placed ahead of the next
Nebraska man to finish.
Jack Ross is the only letter man
lost by graduation. Among those to
return will be Captain Zimmerman,
Lewis and Lawson. Hays, who has

Coach Kline Rounding Basketball
Squad Into Shape for First Game

The work of roundintr a cham
pion basketball team into shape has
now begun in earnest. Coach Kline
is holding regular workouts at which
the candidates for team positions are
getting into condition for the open
ing game of the season the first
week in January. Besides the crop
of sophomores which came up from
last year's freshman team, Kline has
seven veterans of the last season re
porting for practice.
The long and short of the basket
ball squad is personified in Billy
Usher who is a scant five feet, and
Paige of Crete who looks down on
the world from six feet and seven
inches. Paige naturally is looked up
to, while Billy has earned the respect
of every team in the Valley by his
snap and fight.
"Mutt" Volz, captain for the com
ing season, will undoubtedly prove to
be one of the best guards in the con
ference. Mutt is a member of Phi
Gamma Delta fraternity, and comes
from Omaha.
Willard Usher, much better known
as Billy, was captain of last year's
team, and will perform at his old
post of forward. In spite of his
height, or rather lack of it, Billy has
an uncanny ability to be in the mid
dle of every scrimmage and his
deadly accuracy on long shots causes
oDnosinsr euards to lose all kinds of
sleep. Billy is an Alpha Sig, and his
home is Lincoln.
Orr Goodson will be back to con
test for his old place at center. Orr's
fighting spirit Is shown by the fact
that he lod the entire team in num
ber of personal fouls for the fast
season. Orr, a Beta Theta Pi, also
lives in Lincoln.
Ekstrom not only plays basketball
but also waves a wicked bat on the
diamond. He ia an Alpha Theta Chi
and comes from Omaha.
Black showed marked ability last
year and will probably be one of the
shining lights of the coming season.
He is a member of Kappa Sigma and
Grand Island claims him as her son.

of breaking up the opposition's clev
erest plays. Milo is practicing to be

Defeat Jaybawkera.
The journey to Lawrence, Kansas,
on October 26 was made worth while
by the handful of Jayhawk feathers
brought back by the Cornhuskers.
.Over five hundred Nebraskans saw
the defeat of Kansas by a score of
14-7. Roy Robertson took advan
tage of a Kansan's fumble in the
third quarter to break the 0-0 tie
that was in effect all through the
first half. He didn't fall on the ball.
He scooped it up and raced across the
line for a touchdown. A few mom
ents later Collins caught a pass and
ran forty yards for another score.
Missouri lost to Nebraska a week
later. The game was all it was ex
pected to be. The Tigers had not
been defeated and were shouting the
.old cry of the Tiger for "raw meat."
But they didn't get it. The score
-was 14-6, with Myers and Rhodes
pushing the ball over for the Husk
ers. Missouri out-yarded and out
downed Nebraska but didn't do it all
at the right time. The Tiger pass
ing game was especially brilliant,
netting gains of 125 yards.
"Four Horsemen' Run Wild.
After the Missouri game Coach
Dawson had two weeks in which to
prepare for the big game of the sea
sonNotre Dame. Every kind of
work was done in those two weeks.
Secret practice was instituted and
4he men worked out until dark every
day. But the "Four Horsemen" of
Notre Dame ran wild over the Husk
ers. Rockne as usual started his sec
ond team, and was forced to send in
bis regulars In less than four min
utes. It was too late to prevent the
touchdown which came a few sec
onds later, the sole counter for Ne
braska. Last Saturday the Cornhuskers
easily and decisively defeated the
Kansas Aggies by a score of 24-0.
The Aggies had been defeated by
Missouri after a hard contest by
only one touchdown.
If Missouri defeats Kansas, as is
most probable, the Eastern writer
will declare Missouri to be the cham-
Pion. Here ia the "done" providing

On November 8. the squad entered
the annual Missouri Valley classic at
the Drake stadium. Ten schools and
aivtv men were entered in the race.
The Husker team was completely off
form. Lewis, who had the best time
record for the season was bothered
with an attack of appendicitis. Cap
tain Zimmerman who had been in
nnnr condition following the Okla
homa meet was still on the sick list.

Cartney was handicapped with a bad
cold.

the Scarlet and Cream runners. The
Kansas Aggie team broke a series
of wins for Ames, by taking the
meet. Rutherford of Oklahoma was
individual winner and Kinport of
Kansas Aggies placed second. Law

the first runner to finish for Ne
