JOHN BROWN
That is a common name for an un
common quarterback. "Jug" is a
sophomore in school, but landed a
regular berth on the Varsity immedi
ately. He is one of the mainstays of
the backfield. Brown's ability in
running the team will be depended on
in the two years which he has left.
He is adept in running back punts,
provided he has a good field, which
was demonstrated in the Kansas
game, when he returned a punt fifty
yards through the entire Kansas team
for a touchdown. Brown is also a
good passer, and in general a good
heady quarterback.
He lives in Lincoln and is a mem
ber of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
GEORGE SHANER
Shaner, a scrappy little end, got
into a game and provoked notice on
the part of the Husker coaches. And
thereafter he was given plenty of
chances. He is only a sophomore and
should help to fortify the ends on
next year's squad.
He belongs to Phi Gamma Delta
and lives in North Platte.
LE6S sprague
It was Leon Sprague, who, as a
sophomore, stepped in and filled the
regular position f end as a running
mate to Joe Weir. Sprague played
consistently during the first part of
tfie season, ami m miiH Sir??
He will be back at Nebraska for two
More years. "Lonnie" is a hard
'uck man. In the Washington game
be was across the goal-line with a
pass in his mitts, but he dropped it,
thus losing the chance to beat the
Euiiies- He has had several other
strokes Lie that, t'-t be a scropper
all cf tie itrce. He lives in York and
is a rctrr.ber cf Delta T&o Delta.

JOE WEIR
The brother of Captain Ed Weir,
Joe plays an end in the first-string
lineup. He has been a steady-going
wingman throughout the season, and
has another year left to don the Ne
braska moleskins. Joe holds down
his end in a superior manner, and
next year should see him getting some
recognition. Yes, he's from Super
ior. AVARD mandlry
One of the steady halfbacks this
year is Avard Mandery. At plunging
and running the ends he has proved
his worth, and will be back again next
year on the Varsity. Mandery also
has an educated toe. Sometimes he
punts, and he is an exceptional place
kicker. The weather this year has
denied him a chance to exhibit this
feature ..t his play.
When Choppy Rhodes is seen
scooting through the line for twelve
or fifteen yards you can be pretty
sure that Mandery was the main gun
in the interference that made that
possible. He is from Tecumseh and
is a member of Alpha Tau Omega.
Another end. "Mac" comes from
Lincoln high school, and still has two
more years left in Varsity competi
tion. He weighs 160 pounds, and he
uses every pound of it when he is
in the game. He is fast and should
show up next year as a likely candi
date' for the end berth. He belongs
to Sigma Phi Epsilon.

WALTER SCHOLZ
There are 191 pounds of Walter
Scholz in the guard position when the
Husker team lines up, and that means
something. Scholz is a second-year
man, and was shifted to guard this
year from his former position at
tackle. He proved that he is equally
effective near the center as on the
outposts of the line. Scholz is from
Osceola, and it is said that he is an
excellent student as well as a foot
ball player. Fraternally, he is an Al
pha Tau Omega.
CLARENCE RAISH
Raish is another sophomore who has
filled a regular position on the Var
sity squad this year. He plays guard
and together with Walter Scholz and
Harold Hutchison, has built a for
midable wall at center. Raish weighs
210 pounds and has been in practi
cally every game this season, going
the full route in many cases. The
lineman's job this year has been no
small assignment, and Raish is one
of those who have brought Nebras
ka's line to be called the "stone walL"
Raish lives in Grand Island, and is a
member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon.
WILLABD DOVER
Dover plays at end position, also,
and has another year of Varsity com
petition. The competition at the
wings has been something fierce this
year, but Dover has been carried as
a reserve ready to step in and fill the
place.
His home is in Madison and he be
longs to Alpha Sigma Phi. ,

JOE WOSTOUPAL
Wostoupal, center, is leaving Ne
braska football after the game today.
Joe has been alternate center this
year, and during the last few games
has been in play much of the time.
Hia ability on the offense and de
fense both are recognized by Hus
ker followers, and his loss, together
with Hutchison, leaves what seems to
be a dearth of pivot men for the 1926
squad.
Joe's home is at West Point and he
belongs to Delta Upsilon fraternity.
ROBERT STEPHENS
Bob Stephens made his Husker de
but only this fall, and his work at
quarterback has made him conspicu
ous on the Nebraska squad. Steph
ens comes from Hastings College, so
he had had but one year of Varsity
competition left. As a left-handed
passer, Stephens has been the occa
sion of many a tingle along the spine
of Husker opponents this season, and
next year should develop into a real
threat for Nebraska. Whenever
Coach Bearg needB a pass, and needs
it bad, Stephens is sent in. He has
been bothered by a leg injury this
year which has kept him out of much
competition. His home is in Univer
sity Place. He is a member of Alpha
Tau Omega fraternity.
ARCHIE HECHT
One of the promising backs of the
squad is Hecht, who is a sophomore
and promises great things for the fu
ture. With Pretnell, Hecht is a driv
ing back who is sure to win a name
for himself in Husker footbalL His
home is in Havelock and he belongs
to Sigma Phi Epsilon.
