Varsity Basketball Team Face
Hard Work Before Fri
day Game
WORKOUTS SLOW LATELY
A hard week of practice is ahead
of the Nehrftsty basketball squad
in order for the players to get in
shape for the opening frame of the
season, Friday night with the Uni
versity of South Dakota. This game
is a practice tilt and whether won
or lost will make no difference in
the Nebraska percentage column at
the end of the season.
The game has been scheduled by
Coach Bearg so he will be able to
get a line on his men before the op
ening of the Valley schedule. "Red"
Brown, Kansas, well known basket
ball official, will referee the game.
Scrimmage on Program
Coach Bearg is introducing a
somewhat new method of play to the
Cornhuskers this year and the pro
cess has been slow. Most of the
practices so far have been taken up
with drilling in the fundamentals.
However, this wek scrimmage will be
on the program every afternoon. It
is the hope of the coach to be able
to use every man Friday.
At the opening of the season ap
proximately fifty men reported for
basketball and although only a few
have been cut from the squad, more
than twenty have quit coming out
Coach Bearg states that he wants
these men to continue coming out, as
they are still in the running for the
team. No big cut will be made in

the squad until after the first game.
Members of the squad will be ta
ken to Kansas City after the first
week of the Christmas holidays.
They will leave here December 28,
and will practice in that city until
January 2, when they will meet the
Kansas City Athletic Club in the sec
ond game of the season. After the
K. C. A. C. game the team will re
turn to Lincoln, where the last final
practice game will be held before the
opening of the 1926 schedule.
IN THE VALLEY

"Zim" and "Zim"
There were 122 records shattered
in track cdmpetition in the year
1925. The supreme breaker of rec
ords was none other than the great
Finlander, Nurmi, who took as his
share, 29 former marks.
Creighton University of Omaha
opened its basketball season Satur
day night by completely smothering
the Midland quintet of Fremont, 62
to 6. Coach Schabinger's Bluejays
scored thirty field goals in the game.
Creighton is noted for its basketball
teams and will meet the Cornhus
kers in two games this year.
Although the University of South
Dakota lott its first game of the
seasoa to a "Big Ten" team last
week, the team representing onr sis
ter state showed plenty of form and
will undoubtedly offer fast competi-
tionMo Nebraska when the two teams
meet in the Armory Saturday night.
. Two years ago, a Husker half
miler missed making the Olympic
team by inches in the final trials.
Coaches all through the middle west
expressed surprise that Schulte, great
coach that he was, would allow a
man to run with such apparent poor
form, as this runner possessed. Yet
this runner was showing his heels to
the men coached by these critics.
Gardner was, without doubt, the
greatest runner in the half in the
Middle West at that time, winning
the Valley championship. If an at
tempt to change the form of this
runner had been made, his speed
would have been sacrificed, because
bin natural ease would have been
taken away.
Interesting is the fact that Ed
Weir is the only man in the past two
seasons who has been picked by all
of the A 11 -American choosers. Last
season Grange was the unanimous
choice with Weir. He was chocked
by the Rock ao-Warner-Jones combi
nation and this year Oberlander of
Dartmouth alive the disinctioa with
Weir.
The Numeral honor roll plan, gen
erally recognized in the schools of
the country, is another idea which
we can credit to Schulte. Feeling
that there were a great number of
men in each sport deserving of rec
ognition, who were unable to make
the team, he made this secondary
recognition in the form of a numeral
for worthy men. This has added
greatly to the number of men out for
the track sport at Nebraska.
The result in victories is the value
received to the school, with four
championships in as many years. On
the other hand, the "Indian" has
made it possible for every man who
desires, the privilege of enjoying
the competitive sport of track, and
that is the big thing he has been
working for. Victory has come about
automatically.
When Schulte came to Nebraska
the track equipment totaled about
six pairs of shoes, and some few run
ning trunks and jerseys. That was
all there was. As a result of an ac
curate check, and re-isining of used
equipment, there is now enough
track equipment to suit over three
hundred athletes. This money sav
ing plan has permitted the track
work to expand to is present size at
Nebraska.
Just such ideas as these made the
"Indian" an Ail-American football
player in the early days at Michigan.
And although he never did any track
work himself, Schulte's ideas have
made him an All-time, All- American
track coach, judging from. Siir.psoj,
Scholz, and Hamilton of Olympic
fame of the past, Locke, Weir, and
Rhodes of the present Husker teams.
Speaking of ideas. And from
Coach Schulte. It wasn't so many
years ago that the hurdlers of the
world swung their arms windmill
fashion in clearing the barriers. The
"Indian" got an idea that a great
deal of motion was going to waste,
which could be transformed into
speed and momentum for the runner.
As a result, he took a likely look
ing Missourian by the name of Simp
son into training, producing an
Olympic champion, and world record
holder in the barrier race. He re
volutionized hurdling by coordinat
ing the action of the arms and body
with the rhythm of the stride and
leap for the hurdle, giving added
speed and momentum.

Nebraska Center Leaves for Indiana
For .Five Days Practice Session
With Eastern and Mid-Western
Stars.
Harold Hutchison, star center on
the Husker football squad for the
past three seasons, left at 4:15 Mon
day afternoon for Bloomington, Ind.,
over the Rock Island. Hutchison
will go into practice with other great
football men who will represent the
east in an amateur intersectional
game held at Berkley, California, on
December 26.
Ed Weir, also chosen for the team,
was unable to go without losing his
amateur standing in the Valley.
Hutchison has completed his athletic
career here. The game is a purely
amateur affair, and wil1 not spoil
the possibilities for coaf for the
Husker star. Hutchison ."t been
mentioned on numerous Aii-Ameri-can
teams in the country and was
placed on both the official All-Valley
and All-Western teams.
At Bloomington
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 14.
Coach W. A. Ingram's galaxy of Ail
American football stars arrived here
today and went through their open
ing practice against the Indiana Uni
versity squad in the Indiana Univer
sity Memorial Stadium. The team
will train ere the rest of the week
and will leave December 20 for San
Francisco where they are to meet the
pick of the west December 26 in an
intersectional, amateur, benefit grid
battle for the Shriners' Hospital for
Children, San Francisco.
Collection of "Aces"
Ingram's piayers, chosen from the
leading educational institutions of
the East, Middle-west, and South and
including such stars as Garbisch,
Wycoff, Slaughter, Farwick, and
Hutchison, was admitted by sports
writers here to be the most out
standing collection of generally rec
ognized gridiron aces ever brought
together for training as a team.
The eastern squad made an im
pressive physical appearance in their
navy blue jersies with gold letters,
and gold head gears. The word
"EAST" was emblazoned in gold
letters across the chest of each play
er. The nineteen men on Ingram's
roster average 194 pounds in weight.
Men in Good Condition
The roster included the following:
Slaughter, Edwards, Hawkins, Michi
gan; Wycoff, Georgia Tech; Gar
bisch, Farwick, Army; Fischer,
Marks, Indiana; Sloan, Drake; Dil
wcg, Marquette; Ekberg, Davis, Ma
han. West Virginia; Hutchison, Ne
braska; Chase, PitUburg; and Ing
ram, Navy
Coach Ingram was well satisfied
with the first work-out, which con
sisted in sicmal drill and light scrim
mage. The Indiana University coach
found his men in good condition fol
lowing competition and in a few in
KlnnrM roarhincr durinff the 1925
season. He anticipates plunging at
once into scrimmage and engaging
in heavy work against the Indiana
University freshmen and Varsity
elevens during the remaining five
days of the week. Indiana's Big Ten
gridiron outfit seemed to enjoy tack
ling the all-Americans and were on
their toes watching the development
of fine points of the game as the
all-stars showed their football form.
The eastern team has a great
quartet of punters in Wycoff, Gar
bisch, Martinean and Ekberg. If
points are won by the toe route,
however, they will be as the result of
place kicks. Ingram is short on drop
kickers but is exceedingly long on
place kickers. "If we ever put Gar
bisch inside the forty-five yard line
of our western opponents," says the
Indiana coach, "we're sure of three
points. We have a line that can hold
and behind such a line Garbisch will
be invincible. He ordered a shoe
with a kicking toe, and you can
count on him usi:;g it in this game."
Twelve Valley games are sched
uled for the Oklahomans. Led by
Captain Clyde Hall, pivot man, the
returning stars of last season rae
Gordon Perry and Cliff Elder, for
wards; George Connor and Neil
Hartpence, guard;. Connor has
twice been an all-southwestern guard
selection and Perry gained a forward
berth on the all-Southwestern team
last year, his first year on the squad.
Both were members of the grid
squad.
Augmenting the list of veterans
which, fans point out, might make
un the reirular personnel of the var
sity are several one-letter varsity
players of last year besides a host
of first-year men eligible for var
sity competition for the first time
this year.
Amone the candidates reporting
fordaily workouts are: Wayne An
derson, Charles Moore, Delbert King,
Roy Danford, Lauren Barnes, Miles
