NEBRASKA N
HUSKERS GIVEN
STIFF WORKOUT
Basketball Squad Prepared by
Bearg for Creighton Game
Saturday
SHOW SMOOTH OFFENSE
Conch Bearg sent his Hunker bes
ketball squad through a Btiff workout
Wednesday afternoon in prepara
tion for the Creighton game in Oma
ha Saturday night. The majority
of the afternoon session was given
over to drill in offensive tactics that
will offset the Blue Jay defense.
The Varsity combination that
came in for the most drilling con
sisted of Captain Ekstrom at center,
Elliott and Anderson, forwards, and
Brown and Lawson, guards. This
quintet worked in a fairly smooth
fashion on the offense, but were
little slow in covering their men on
the defense. Elliott and Anderson
were both hitting the basket with
pleasing regularity from near the
foul line.
Freshmen Coach Dick Newman
scouted the Creighton-Ames game in
Omaha last week and he reports that
although Creighton's team is not up
to the usual standard, it will bear
watching.
The freshmen line-up consisted of
practically all of the players that
were in suit and they showed up in
nice style, often breaking up the
ball through to their own goal.
RIFLE TEAM TO
START SEASON
Initial Match of Year Will Be
Held First Week in
February
WRESTLING TEAM
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Five Prospective Letter Men Com
pete; Dr. Clapp in Charge
of the Training
Five prospective letter men re
turning and good men in every event
is the outlook for the 1926 wrest
ling team. In every weight but the
125 pound class there will be veter
ans competing for a place on the
team while a greater interest has
been taken in the sport than ever
before. Dr. Clapp will be in charge
of the mat artists again this season,
with Claude Swindel and Floyd Reed
as assistant coaches.
Highley, captain of the mat team
this year, will be wrestling in the
175 pound class. He was one of the
best in his class in the Valley last
season, and though handicapped by
injuries, took second place. Kell
ogg, 1924 captain, will be in the 135
pound class instead of the 125 pound
weight where he wrestled two years
ago. Skinner, who was the 1925
captain, has an almost sure chance
of representing Nebraska in the 145
pound division. Kellogg and Skin
ner were both Western intercollegi
ate champions in 1924.
In the 116-pound division, Blore,
another two letter man is back in
school. The other letter man to re
turn is Thomas, a two letter man
who was out of school last season.
Though there are no letter men in
the 125-pound class Weber and Buck
who showed up well in the interfra
ternity match, will put up a stiff
tussel to determine who will make
the team. Both are considered good
men. Bran.: 'gain, of the squad last
year, and Lee, football letter man,
are out for the 158 pound division.
Lee was the winner of the interfra
ternity match in his division.
"Red" Molzen of the football
squad will take up the mat sport
again this year. Last season he was
out most of the season with a broken
shoulder. Truning has also shown
some excellent form in the nulimited
class. Karr, winner of the 115
pound weight in the interfraternity
will give Blore a good match before
the season is over.
A greater stimulation of interest
in the sport has made the present
training quarters for the squad
crowded. Three mats are in use the
entire afternoon and a night class
is now being arranged to handle all
of the men out for the sport
Six or seven meets will be on the
Husker schedule, including Missouri,
Iowa University, Iowa College,
Minnesota, and perhaps Kansas, as
well as other prospects, according to
Dr. Clapp. The complete schedule
will be arranged within a few days,
Floyd Reed, who is assisting this
year, is an ex-Husker captain in the
sport, having won the eastern inter
colegiate in the 158-pound division
three years ago. Swindel has been
considered one of the best light
weight wrestlers in the middle west.
Swindel is coaching for his third
year, while Reed assisted two years
ago.
CREIGHTON TO COMPETE
The University rifle team will
open the intercollegiate winter sea
son of shooting the fir3t week of
February with matches against
Rhode Island State College, New
Mexico Miltary Institute, Univer
sity of Maine, and Creighton Uni
versity. Two other colleges that
have not answered the challenges,
mav be added to the first weeks
card. The season schedule will con
sist of about forty matches, and will
be announced in a few days.
Creighton University, judging
from its record of last year, seems
to be the hardest competitor in the
initial firing. Although defeated
last xar by Nebraska, the Omaha
school finished the year with an ov
erwhelming total in its favor against
a schedule which included schools
and colleges from1 all parts of the
United States. Most of the Creigh
ton shooters are back in school this
year, and they will make up a veter
an aggregation ready in all respects
to give Nebraska a close contest.
Sergeant Richardson, who until
last year was assistant rifle team
coach at Nebraska, is helping coach
the Creighton team this year and
will be firing back at Nebraska some
of the little secrets of markmanship
that he formerly imparted to Husker
shooters.
As far as the veteran aggregation
at the Omaha school is concerned,
Nebraska has just as many second
and third year men trying for the
team. Several of them have been in
summer training camps and three
have fired in the National rifle com
petitions at Camp Perry. Rifle
shooting rivalry between the two
schools is expected to rise to a high
pitch in a few years, as the two
schools are each other's closest op
ponents from a geographical point
of view, and are kepn rivals at the
summer R. O. T. C. at Fort Snell-ing
The other schools on the first week
schedule hardly raise as much per
sonal interest, and will serve in the
main as a means of measuring Ne
braska markmanship with that of the
representative schools of other sec
tions of the country.
Rifle team candidates are com
mencing practice in earnest after
the two weeks layoff caused by va
cation. Before the holidays several
did regular shooting on the indoor
range, and some high scores were
turned in, including two possibles
in the prone position.

EXPRESS ADMIRATION
Fifty business men of Superior,
Nebraska, friends and neighbors of
"Big Ed" and "Little Joe" Weir,
met at the Stone Hotel on New
Year's Eve to do honor to their dis
tinguished fellow citizens. Win. G.
Weir, father of the Weir boys, and
"Billy" Weir, their youngest broth
er who challenged Knute Rockne's
attention at the Notre Dame football
game Thanksgiving Day, and Hollis
Weir, Ex-'22, their cousin, were also
honor guests.
The banquet prepared under the
personal direction of Proprietor Fred
Stone, himself n great enthusiast for
football and the Weir boys, reflect
ed the Cornhusker atmosphere
throughout. The table decorations
were bowls of cream colored chry
santhemums surmounted with scar
let poinsettias; the nut cups were of
cream colored paper tied with scarlet
ribbons; the brick ice cream had a
brown football inset; the cake was
of alternate layers of scarlet and
cream; and even the cream mayon
aisse on the Perfection salad was
variegated with strips of red pimen-.
to.
After the bounteous turkey din
ner, Omar Marshall, grain merchant,
as toastmaster, called for a few ex
tcmporaneous remaks. Lewis direr,
member of the executive board of
the Superior High School AJumni
Association expressed pride of that
organization on being able to count
in its membership two such young
men as Ed and Joe Weir. Doane F.
Kiechel, '22, city attorney and presi
dent of the Superior Branch of the
University of Nebraska Alumni As
sociation spoke of that body's re
gard of the Weirs. "The Superior
U. of N. Alumni Association ad
mires the Weirs, first for their abil
ity, second for their clean playing,
third for their love of school, and
fourth for their love of home", said
Mr. Kiechel. Dr. Chas. G. McMa-
hon, Superior surgeon and athletic
fan, caled to the memory of his lis
teners different plays made by the
Weirs, and some of the extraordinary
fine things said about them by the
great football men of the country.
The toastmaster, Mr. Stone, and the
Weir boys themselves, bespoke the
support of their listeners for promo
tion of athletics of all kinds in Su
perior, particularly in its schools.
You say you are proud of us, said
Ed Weir, "and we thank you for
that. But no matter how proud you
are of us, we are just as proud to
be from Superior."
Mr. Stone, in behalf or the donors,
presented to "Little Joe" a bill fold
suitably engraved with his name
and memoranda of the occasion; and
to "Big Ed" a trophy in the form
of a silver mounted football, full
regulation size, on a silver pedestal
and mounted on a mahogany base.
On different parts of the football
were engraved the following:

A new record attendance record
was set in the University of Kansas
football season just closed, according
to recent figures of the athletic de
partment. The records show that
70,204 persons paid admission to
the eight games that were played.
The largest drawing card was the
annual homecomeing game with Mis
souri witnessed by 27,387. The to
tal attendance of the four games in
Lawrence was 49,299. The four
games played elsewhere was 20,905.
The largest crowd away was the Ne
braska-Kansas game at Lincoln, 10,-050.
The figures:
Home:
Missouri 27,387
Kansas Aggies 11,410
Oklahoma A. & M 5,511
Drake 4,991
Abroad:
Nebraska 10,050

Grinnell 983
The gross receipts for the football
season total $121,325.22, less certain
expenses deducted before the re
ceipts are divided. Athletic offi
