Nebraska's mighty Cornhuskor fool ball cloven leaves Wed
nesday for its last all-important interseetional gridiron battle
with "the Army Cadets in the West Point Stadium Saturday.
The llusker eleven showed its poorest form of the entire season
when it was stopped by the l'itt Panthers on the mud-laden
.Memorial Stadium field last week. No longer a member of the
undefeated and untied aristocracy in the football world, the
Scarlet and Cream will attempt to eome back to the role of
"powerhouse" in the Army clash Saturday. All eyes of the
football world will focus on the llusker game this week. Heal en
but onee and that by the Notre Dame Irish eleven, Coach "ISiff "
Jones and his Cadets will be in to) shape for the Cornhuskers.
The Carlcton game, last Saturday afforded the Army but
little opposition and sport writers in the Kat merely mention
it as a "warm up" for the Nebraska battle this week. While
the Army Mule was running up and down the field with Carle
Ion trailing behind, Nebraska's mighty eleven was out on n
water-soaked field. attempting too-
beat the Panther eleven, by wait
ing for the breaks In the game.
Big Six sport' critics were unani
mous in their opinion that the Hus
kers were stale against Coach
Sutherland's trick aggregation and
that too much time was spent last
week for Army.
Husker Whip Into Shape
But the mighty Huskers have
fallen and that's history now. Pre
parations for the eastern game are
well under way and Coach liearg
will work unceasingly throughout
the three days of practice at home
in an effort to drive his "power
house" into shape for the impor
tant game on the Hudson this
week. Whipping the stale Corn
htisker eleven into shape for the
Cadets and to bring Nebraska into
the running for national honors
again will be the task of the llus
ker coaching staff today and to
morrow. A light workout Wednes
day will be the last on the home
field before the squad entrains for
its long Journey to the east. A
stop-over at Chicago will enable
the Eeargmen a short workout on
one of the Chicago fields as half
of the long journey is completed.
Captain Blue Howell, co-captain
of the Cornhusker team will re
ceive plenty of attention in the
West Point game this week. Coach
"Biff" Jones of the Army eleven
has been directing his squad for a
week on the tactics to be employed
against Howell and company. If
Howell can be stopped, we can
stop the Huskers seems to be the
by-word of all coaches this season.
Coach Jones hopes to perfect a de
fensive attack that will render the
line-smashing Howell ineffective.
While the coaching staff at West
Point is perfecting a combination
to stop the llusker line driinc at
tack, Cris Cagle, the Army flash
is polishing up on his running at
tack. Prepare for Passes
The Army red head and his ro
horts, Hutchinson, Nave, and riper
are daily receiving long workouts
for the coming Nebraska game.
Forward passing is being stressed
at the Army camp and Coach Jones
expects to use plenty of the aerial

to do a lot of damage against the
scarlet this Saturday while Coach
Bearg is figuring on Howell, Sloan
and Russell to drhe the Army Hue
for extensive gains.
Army will be on edge for the Ne
braska eleven and as one sports
writer in the New York Kvening
Journal laments, the gf,rr" will be
in the West Point Stadium instead
of Yankee Stadium in New York
City where a crowd of vu.fiiio could
b accommodated. The West Point
Stadium Is Fmall and will be i
packed to thp limit for the Husker
gnme this week. New York City
wanted this game and the few that
can be accommodated, will trek
ovr West Point way Saturday for
the game.
This is the final game on tlip
192S Arrny schedule and to make
the season complete, it will be
necessary for t lie Cadets to stop
the Cornhuskers. While th Hus
kers must hurry back to Lincoln
for the Thanksgiving game with
the Kansas Agg'"S to complete
their great, schedule of the year.
The Kansas Aggie game is a con
ference game and fhould the Hus
kers turn In a win, the first Hig
Six football championship is Ne
braska's by a long margin.
Czechoslovaks
And Cubs Have
Hard Go at K.U.
"Why," asked the Daily Kansan
editor distractedly, "do you spell
Czechoslovakia T-c-h-e-c-o-s-l-a-v-a
qi-e?"
"Is that wrong?" inquired the
cub with Interest, "I copied it from
a Czechoslovakian letter head. A
man from Czechoslovakia ought to
know how to spell it."
"That makes it unanimous," said
the editor cynically, "Even the Cze
cboslovakianc can't spell it."
Whereupon the reporter went to
his typewriter and Fuelled the
word "Zechosllavokla." Then he
spelled it "Checkoslavekia." After
looking at this one hour with a de
spairing expression the reporter
made up his mind not to write the
story. He walked out of the build
ing with a scathing glance for some
imbecile who suggested the diction
ary. He had looked through the
dictionary.
The Kanan reporter on further
investigation has found that the
German and th.: French know
nothing more about spelling Czech
oslovakia ihan the Czechoslova
kians. The freshman rhetoric
students however could only be
equalled la their uniqueness of
Nebraska Strives to Come
spelling this work by the Japanese.
One theme produced "Check you r
slavia" another Zekeoslavery and
another "Zcherkosalolavia." Which
is reported as one of the reasons
that our English department grows
weaker, weaker and neaker.
There is only one thing to do
about it says the laily Kansan. If
you must write on foreign affairs
discuss Spain or France.

Ciair Sloan, his running mate in

Howell failed to score any points

scoring, as wed as Sloan's was not
altered by the aspirants behind
these two Cornhusker backs. How

old is any baby's ape. But then
again that's nearly the Alpha O
age limit.
Just before the game was re
sumed, and as the teams were lin
ing lip on the carpet edge ready
for the kickofl (which nearly broke
ut the party), somebody uncovered
the idea of a toe-dancer, and the
Alpha O's certainly have one. An
other type of dance was suggested
but tlieie were no grass skins
to be had.
And if Coach Bearg decides to
take a fourth team to West point
don't let him forget B50SS. Tne
Alpha O's could make a great show
ing in any college game. (Water
polo excepted ).
Moral: This will be one game
where the W. A. A. won't be selling
programs.

Well, yes that's a sigh. The Pitt
game is history. We're glad it is
and that the score remained zero
for the Huskers. ' For Nebraska to
be so completely outplayed and
still come out with a tie is still
causing us to believe that wonders
will never cease. Little "Dannie"
McMullen has all the room .in the
world to talk about the game. About
all we could see from the steamed
up press bix window was the small
form of Mac tearing thru the Pitt
line an dgoing In behind to grab
that Parkinson lad or Uansa or Ed
wards or any of the rest of them
that looked as if they might lug
the pellet on that particular play.
Anyway the psychology is set for
the little ride on the Army Mule.
Cornhusker followers are under the
impression that the Scarlet and
Cream will take quite a little Jaunt
astride this Mule from the banks
of the Hudson.
La it week's game at West Point
was merely a warm up for the real
fcatile thin week. Army's competi
tion in Cation college was what
Crinnell was to the Huskers last
season. Just a little mix that took
the kinks out of the Army eleven.
This week, though, will find the
Mule knawing on some tough corn
t'-oin the Missouri Valley region.
If Blue Howell and his company of
scarlet trimmed aces can get to
gether on how its done on smash
ing enlarged holes in the Cadet line
sml spinning around the terminals
of the Cadet line for exttnshe
gains, then the warming up battle
that Army hud last week will be
the last game in the win column
for the Army this season.
Coach Bearg hopes to get his
"what looked to be stale team" in
tip top condition -for the greatest
Interseetional battle in the country
this week. To stop "Red" Cagle
and to batter the Army line are the
fundamental instructions being
sent out from the Cornhusker foot
ball camp all this week.. Coach
-BiTf Jones has his "Red" Cagle
but Coach Ernest E. Bearg has his
Blue Howell, and his Clair Sloan,
and his "Dutchman" Witte, and his
"Reb" Russell, and his Claude Row
ley and so Husker followers say
"look out soldiers, for the corn
grows tall In Nebraska and so do
football players."
And here's to a dry field and a
colorful day for the Army-Husker
game Saturday. One mud-fest is
enough for the 19C8 schedule. And
niabe the Husker machine could
function the same way in the mud
acaln. But fans cannot believe that
the Cornhuskers can play that
brand of ball twice in one season.
They can play better football and
everyone knows it but when a team
like Nebra'a starts knocking 'em
off the ft of October and con
tinues it clear througli the season,
handing six of the opposing teams
a defeat, a bum day is bound to ap
pear some place on the schedule
:inil it just had to be Pitt and thats
about all there is to it.
Coming back from West Point,
Nebraska will have little time to
prepare for Coach "Bo" McMillan's
Wildcat crew from Manhattan.
The Aggie eleven has gone through
,i most discouraging season, win- i
ning not a game and it is evioeni
that the new Aggie coach will
throw everything he has on the
field Thanksaiving day to turn his
last game into a win and be the
first conference team to stop the
mighty Cornhusker "powerhouse."
But even at that, Nebraska could
still come through with a first place
tie for the Big Six championship.
Missouri yet remains In the one
defeat clas. The .only confer
ence defeat on the Tiger slate Is
the Husker defeat at Lincoln.
Should the Aggie crew startle the
football world and sink Nebraska,
a duo tie would be in order for the
conference football championship.
Claude Row ley's punting in the
Pitt game last Saturday was one of
the few outstanding features of the
Nebraska team. The sophomore
hack was sent into the Coinliuskei

Huiton Webster, lojal Corn

Huiton states that the eyes of the

the coming battle with the Army

Father: "A football roach who

With red-fire Blue Howell and
"Reb" Kussell unravelling behind
a line of Tall Coru Tarzans, the
Huskers probably develop more
sheer power and dizzy speed than
any eleven in the land.
What a pity it is. then, that when
these big boys from the banks of
the Platte come Fast to hitch with
the Army mule they will have to
lineup to handle the punting de

A sixty-five yard punt was called
back, but that did not discourage
the punting ace. He was set back
under his own goal posts and then
bootej the mud-coated oval down
the field for fifty-five yards more.
The Husker punting department
was one thing that did look good in
the Pitt game. With two punters
like Sloan and Rowley, Coach
Bearg need not fear of being short
on punters for the remainder of the
season.
