THE DAILY NEBRASKAN BUSKERS HAVE HARD WORKOUT Scrimmage Is Last Before Game With Iowa Cyclone On Saturday Th longest and one of the hardest scrimmages of the practice season took place last night on the practice field when head football Coach Er nest E. Bearg put his moleskin war riors through the last haTd workout before the opening game with the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday. The Cyclonef-Husker clash will start at 2 o'clock and the gates of Memorial ' Stadium will be opened at 12:30. One hour of the practice session was spent on the kicking department in both punting and the kickoff. This phase of the game still worries. the Husker coach and he drilled the Ne braska football squad until late in the evening in scrimmage practice against "Choppy" Rhodes' freshman team. Tonight will be the last real workout before Saturday's game, Friday to be given over to chalk talks and signal work. Coach Bearg intends to use quite a large lineup against the Cyclones Saturday and so gave all his reserves a chance at the Frosh last night. Ted James kicked off for the yearling squad as Bearg drilled his Huskers on receiving the kickoff. Blue Howell was hitting the line for large gains on returning the kick but Bearg was not satisfied with the blocking de partment of the interference. The end positions are still uncer tain but it seems that the coaches are favoring veteran material for the opening game. Lee and Lawson will probably be back at their old wing positions when the Nebraska eleven lines up against Iowa State. Ted James will be at center, Rich ards and Randels at tackle. Holm and McMullen at guard. Brown at quar ter, Pit sn ell and Howell at half, and Oehlrich at full. The big thing on Coach Bearg's program with his Scarlet warriors is to develop the second eleven as strong as the first. Reserves are the big thing in a football coach's life and Bearg has an abundance of vet eran reserve material for develop ment. Claire Sloan is one of the prospects for a backfield position, Sloan is a fast ball lugger and punts fur xu average of 50 yards. Bronson, reserve quarter, is ably fitted to take the shoes of the Husker captain and Leroy Lucas can be inserted into the Husker forward wall without weak ening it in any degree. Lucas tips the scale at 220 and is a fast and aggres sive tackle. The Iowa State-Nebraska game Saturday will be the twenty-first time the Cyclones and the Huskers have met in football. Nebraska started playing the staters back in 1896. when they won a 12 to 4 con test on the gridiron. Nebraska has won 15 of the encounters and Iowa four, the other was a 6 to 6 tie. The total scores for Nebraska were 342 while for Ames 138. Nebraska not only has the edge on the Cyclones by past records but when the two elevens line op on Sta dium field Saturday Nebraska will outweigh its northern rival. The Cornhusker forward wall will aver age over 191 pounds from end to end, while the Iowa State line aver ages 176. In the backfield the Husker four horsemen average 177 to the 161 of Ames.

IOWA STATE POINTS FOR INITIAL GAME Chief Worry of Cyclone Coaches Lies ia Finding Guard1 for Approaching Contest Ames, Iowa, Sept 28. (Special) The guard position for the University of Nebraska game next Saturday is still the chief worry of the Iowa State College coaches as they prepare for the first and one of th y,rA.t games of the season. In hut Satur day's scrimmage game four e-uarda were used. Ours, Creston; Schlenker, Vet Moines; Kern, Cedar Rapids, and Fischer of Centerville, but in the opinion of the Cyclone coaches more tutoring is necessary for the Husker game. Rudi's sprained shoulder was the only casuality of the Saturdav fra cas, although Kulp, reserve half, is out with a cold r.nd Lamson, varsity luiiback-, is still out with an infec tion. Lamson is expected to eet into uniform Tuesday or Wednesdav. Helming, bloclqr sophomore from Waukon, has been holdinz down the fullback assignment on the first team, but still seeds improvement in his blocking. Monday the Cyclones went through a review of the offensive plays to be used m the first conference ramp. but were not scrimmaged. The re mainder of the week will be devoted to a defense for the conflict at Lin coln Saturday. The search for a punter this year seems to have ended for Duke Arres. elomraterl . . nai oeen averaging 40 yards. Ayr is being usea constantly and will likely do most of the punting. HalL two letter half, has also been used. Victor Beck, who by his showing made in recent scrimmages, is being considered as a leading contender for a back field position Saturday. IN THE VALLEY By JACK ELLIOTT Coach "Buriney" Oakes, head line coach at NeWaska took a step for ward in the football world the other night at practice when he announced that Ray Randels, veteran tackle was selected as captain of the Husker line. The Missouri Valley adopted the non-scouting rule last season and it is going to leave the Valley elevens to figure out the plays of the op posing eleven, where in the past they had a good idea of the plays of their opponents. Claire Sloan, on of Coach Bearg's many halfbacks, is showing up in real style in the practice sessions and is one of the fastest ball luggers among the backfield men. Sloan also has one of the best pnnting toes n the Cornhusker camp. His punt ing is consistent and combined with a great amount of speed and block ng Sloan should figure in many of the Hnsker clashes this season. The job as kick-off man looks as if it is assigned to Ted James, Ne braska center. Last night in practice Ted was kicking off for the freshmen squad and was booting the pigskin down the field for 45 and 50 yards consistently. This position has been one of Bearg's worries and it seems that it is up to the Husker center to do the kicking. Coach Cwinn Henry, football coach at Missouri is experiencing some more trouble in preparing for the opening clash at Columbia when tbo Tigers meet Coach Bachman's Kansas Aggie el Ten. Bert Clark, Tiger halfback will probably be on the bench Saturday nursing a sprained ankle he receded in scrim. mage last Saturday. Clark was the flashy Missouri halfback who scored the two touchdowns aaainst the Huskers last year to win the game. Scores Affected By Change in Goal Posts (By Intercollegiate Press) As was expected, the setting fcarfc of the goal posts ten yards from the playing field, as required in the 1927 football rules, resulted in fewer poh ;t-aftr-fToal scorta, Very few of last week's scores can be divided by seven. Another noteworthy result of the change was fewer attemnt gain the extra point by place and drop kicks. Passes and 15n-nir,r,o-.. replaced them to a great degree. Lindbloom, Miller, and Captain Weiss are three Iowa State backfield men who will deserve watching in Saturday's game. This trio of backs is running at will through the fresh men line at Ames. The last scrim' mage before the Nebraska game was held Tuesday at Iowa State and Coach Noel Workman seems well pleased with the work of his Cyclone eleven. ' FRESHUAN TEAM BATTLES VARSITY i Stadium Gates Remain Closed During Tilt Broadstone Is Injured Yearling gridsters clashed with the Varsity Wednesday afternoon behind closed stadium gates. As an old feature, the Huskers swept over the youngsters for a couple counters, but met with stubborn resistance when the ball was pushed near their own goal. An injury to Broadstone, fresh man tackle, marred the proceedings. On the initial kickoff, Howell hit him so hard that his nose was broken and one of his front teeth chipped. He was rushed to the Lincoln Sani tarium, but because! of a bad swell ing Dr. Everett said he would be un able to set it until tomorrow. Tobin, former Lincoln player, took his place, and succeeded in keeping his fea tures unimpaired. Blocking and kickoff practice oc cupied most of the program. James Varsitv Divot man. kicked off for the yearlings, and was getting off some extremely good efforts. On the whole, the defensive! work was much better than usual, and the Cornhus kers seem to be in prime condition for Saturday's inaugural battle with Iowa State. Plavine left end for the freshmen, "Morrie" Fisher handled his assign ment with great nicety. Snatching a pass from the hand of Parker, quarter, he flopped over the line for a touchdown late in the session. The Varsity seemingly didn't like this and Fisher was well covered during the rest of the final canto. Parker was slipping passes with great success, considering the fact that three or four linemen were charging him. Scherzinger carried the ball on most of the lino plunges, receiving a ere at deal of rough hand ling and few yards. The Varsity line holds like a stone wall, so he can't be blcmed. Yesterday's lineup included: Fisher and Kola i, ends. Broadstone and Eno, tackles. Callaway and Wittwer, guards. Phillips, center. Nelson and Scherzinger, halfs. Parker, quarter, and Frahm, full back. Husker End V ' ?-? - r ' S: t U 0 Avard Lee, who has been playing regularly at a wing position and will probably be in the starting line-up sgainst Iowa State Saturday.

Their duty but to do and die for they are the teams on which the giants of the football world vent their spite in an effort to fit themselves for the more important games of the weeks follow ing1 every once in a while the lamb becomes the lion, and the Big Team finds itself the recipient of an early season trouncing. Most of the lambs went forth to the slaughter last Saturday; Very few returned as lions. In the east, Colby surprised Wes leyan with a 13 to 0 victory over tha Connecticut squad, while St John, of Brooklyn, held the once mightly Le high to a scoreless tie. The rest of the games were about as expected. Lafayette took over Schuylkill 39 to 13, the Army-sent Boston home on the short end of a 13 to 0 score, Brown swamped Rhode Island State 27 to 0, and New York University beat Niagara by the same score. Pennsylvania did not have it so easy with little Franklin-Marshall, which squad nearly repeated its famous stunt of 1914 when it went hoii-e the victor in a pre-season meet A touch down and a safety in the first few minutes of play were all that the Philadelphians got in the melee which ended 8 to 0. Cornell, Amherst, Dartmouth, Sy racuse, Penn State and Columbia were other important eastern teams which had an easy time with smaller aggregations. In the south things also were about as expected. The somewhat tooted North Carolina squad was not so happy in taking from Wake Forest a 9 to 8 beating, but otherwise all was equilibrium. Tennessee took it easy and marched down the field for 33 points to Carson-Newman's zero. Vanderbilt came across and defeated Chattanooga 45 to 18, Alabama came through 41 to 0 against Millsaps, Mississippi did the expected and beat Ozarks 67 to 0, and Iiouisianna State University walked away from the, Louiiianna Polytechs 45 to 0. Probably the surprise of the Mid West was the 6 to 6 tie between Grin nell and Penn College. Last year the former took over the latter 20 to 0. Another unfortunate affair from the standpoint of the big team was the Ohio Wesleyan-Wilmington tus sel in which the weaker team kept the; former Ohio champs guessing rieht ud to the end of a 19-20 loss on the part of Wilmington. A field goal was all that saved the Meth odists in the last few minutes of play. Few games were played in the Mid West, the most important being that between Carnegie Tech., and West minister which ended 25 to 0 re spectively. In the far west there were no up sets. Stanford took it easy with Fresno State 33 to 0. Oregon did not take it so et sy with Linfield wher the latter pulled a surprise and held the state griders to a 7 to 0 victory.
