THE DAILY NEBRASKA!
HUSKERS WILL
BE OUTWEIGHED
Probable Starting Line-up
Show Illinois In Slight
Weight Advantage.
FINAL PRACTICE HELD
It ia now up to the Huskers.
Coach E. E. Bear? yesterday held
the last workout for his football
team before the Illinois game Satur
day. The practice took in practic
ally every department of the game,
with the scrimmage with the fresh
men lighter than usual.
Much of the time was spent in
running signals and perfecting plays.
Punting, place-kicking, and drop
kicking also occupied a good share of
the program. The scrimmage with
the freshmen showed a vast improve
ment over that of Tuesday.
On the eve of the first battle of the
season an analysis of the two teams
which will line up Saturday gives the
edge to the Illini. The moanings
emanating from Urbana at the start
of the season appear somewhat exag
gerated, and Coach Bob Zuppke will
have a formidable aggregation
against the huskers.
A possible Illini lineup shows that
the line will outweight the Husker
line by a few younds. The oppos
ing backfields, however, will be about
evenly balanced in weight.
The element of weight, however,
has been proved to be of small value
in this modern game. Speed, fight
and strategy will undoubtedly be
the deciding factors in the game at
Urbana Saturday.
The Illini have behind it a coach
famous all over the country for his
knowledge of tactics, and a master
strategist of the game, Bob Zuppke.
The Kuskers have as their tutor, a
pupil and assistant of Coach Zuppke,
Ernest E. Bearg. The outcome will
be interesting .
The Nebraska teem leaves this af
ternoon at 4:40 o'clock. A rally at
the station will send off the team.
Arriving in Chicago early tomorrow
morning, the gridsters will go through
a workout on Stagg field at the Uni
versity of Chicago, and will proceed
to Urbana that evening,

GREEKS WILL
SHOOT AGAIN
Interfraternity Rifle Tournament To
Be Held Again This Year
After Christmas.
The interfraternity rifle tourna
ment, which for years has been a
regular part of the Nebraska rifle
gallery program will be held this
year after the Christmas holidays,
Captain Eggers, director of marks
manship, announced yesterday. Skins
for first and second place winners
will be donated by the commandant
of cadets as in former years.
Leading contenders for first place
according to the present lineup of
marksmen, appear to be Mu Sigma,
champions last year, and Lambda Chi
Alpha, runners up. Pi Kappa Alpha
also has a strong set of shooters,
some of whom have excellent rec
ords in the national guard and at
training camps.
As soon as a gallery site is located,
arrangements will be made so that
team members can practice. Last
year Mu Sigma men organized early
and practiced considerably before the
meet, and as a result were winners
by a handy margin.
An intercompany tournament may
be held this fall if the gallery is ar
ranged for in time to make it feasi
ble. Varsity team members will not be
eligible for the interfraternity tour
nament. Members of the corps area
team, which did not engage in inter
collegiate matches will be eligible.

"Red" Grange Has Had Phenominal
Career at University of Illinois

URBANA, 111. Harold Grange, the
great University of Illinois halfback
much better known as "Red" altho
his hair really isn't red but has only
a faint auburn tinge you'd say it
was "dark" if you didn't know about
that "Red" nickname is 22 years
old. He was born June 13, 1903, in
Forksville, Pa. He is 5 feet, 10
inches tall and weighs 170 pounds
in his playing trim.
It is probable that no rlayer in
the history of the game has come
near to attaining the national and
even international fame of this
young man. In two years on the
Illinois team he has set a record
which many critics believe to be un
matched. "Red" came to Illinois from Whea
ton, 111., where he was a high school
star. Up in that neck of the woods
the coaches of the other teams knew
that he was good but nobody sus
pected that he was a "phenom." The
Illinois coaches promptly recognized
his possibilities and he was assigned
to left halfback on the freshman.
As a sophomore Grange made his
Varsity debut against Nebraska and
woke next morning to find himself
famous. He scored three touch
downs on brilliant runs. In two
seasons thereafter Grange was held
scoreless in just one game Nebras
ka in 1924 and it is believed that1
he would have crossed the Husker
line had not the green Illinois quar
ter elected to use forward passes
within the ten-yard zone.
Most people think Grange's per
formances against Michigan in 1924
were his most remarkable. Here he
scored four touchdowns in twelve
minutes, all on long runs the first
by carrying the ball 90 yards from
the first kickoff. But others assert
that his performances against Chi
cago the same year when he scored
three touch-downs and tied the score
for the Illini were his best In that
game Grange was "knocked cold" but
mustered such new strength that he
ran 80 yards through the Maroons
for the touchdown that tied the tally.
Against Chicago and Minnesota later,
Grange dispalyed great powers as a
defensive player. In 1924 he aver
aged ten yards for every time he
carried the ball, a record believed to
be unequaled. In 1923 he did nearly
as well.
In his sophomore year Grange ex
celled as a receiver of forward
passes but in 1924 Zuppke used him
to throw the passes, at which he was
adept. He is a good kicker. Zuppke
has not used liim as a punter because
"Zup" has had a better kicker.
Elected captain almost unanimous
ly by his, teammates, Grange has
held their esteem and has been unaf
fected by the fierce glare of the lime
light which has been thrown upon
him. He has been bombarded with
offers from movie producers but has
elected to stay out of such ventures
until he is through the university.

FRESHMEN WORK
ON MDDDY FIELD
Several New Faces Appear In Back'
field Plenty of Weight Is In
Evidence In Forward Wall.
In spite of the muddy condition
of the field about fifty freshmen
reported for practice Wednesday
evening. The first part of the prac
tice was spent in punting, several
men looked good in this department
of the game. Signal practice took
up most of the time, until the scrim
mage with the Varsity.
Several new faces appeared in the
backfield, Busby of Wakefield was
at quarter, he handled the team in
fine shape and looked well on the
passing end of the aerial depart
ment, Roberts also a new man was
used for a short time at half. Beck
was at full and Howell at half. Art
Easter the fleet footed boy from
Cambridge was at half for a time,
but his speed was of little avail to
him because of the muddy field. Me-
Nickol was also used at the halfback
position. In the line were several
heavy men who fought the Varsity
last Saturday including Holmes,
Richards, Hall, Holm and Lucas. The
heaviest man out for freshman foot
ball is John Fitle who comes from
Swanton. He tips the beam at 242
poundds but is a little slow for
freshman competition.
The yearlings ran their usual sig
nals consisting of the Illinois plays
then going to the stadium for their
final scrimmage with the Varsitv
before the Illinois game. The ability
oi me iresnmen to grasp the new
plays quickly has aided the Varsity
materially in forming a defense to
cope with them. Next week the
freshmen will be taught the Missouri
plays and will again be sent against
the Varsity. 1 "
