choice for captain and fullback of
the mythical HiK Six ehneu. How

stellar arietv and he was one of

Huskers Hang Up Moleskins as
Successful Season Comes to End
(By Jack Elliott)
With the final curtain down, the
sport writers take a look at wha
the mighty Oornhusker "power
house" dul during tho season just
closed. Aw.i) back in October, Ne
braska went up to Ames and there
i,n State Field in Ames, tho Ne
braska tootball machine started its
march to lame anil victory. The
Staters from Iowa offered the 19-S
Scat lot and Cream but little oppo
sit ion and when the timekeeper put
tho tirst gi'me nf the season on the
ledger, Nebraska had cinched the
light with a 12 to 0 victory. It was
,iot that afternoon down on State
Field, and tho mighty Nebraska
elewn, playing its first game, did
not show ever., thing but waited for
a more opportune time to produce
its wares.
Strenuous Drill Starts.
Coming hack to Lincoln, Ccuh
Krn-st Hears, the Oornhusker "ool

Nebraska had put a 26 to 6 victory
on the 1928 slate.

Coach Hearg now had passed the
early season games and pointed for
tho first cast-west game on the
Husker schedule, the Syracuse
Orange. Syracuse came to Ne
braska to avenge the .stinging de
feat of the year betore. Headed bj

tory column. . '
And then came Missouri, the
j mighty Tigers from Columbia, the,
I football eleven that had taken No-'
j braska tor three years in a row. :

bo easy pickings for the Huskers.
After the second game was over,
Mehrle are two of the fastest backs
in the Big Six and both handle all
departments of the game in great
fashion. Sloan led the Conference
scorers with T5 points.
When it conies to picking the out
standing linesmen in the confer
ence this season, the palm goes to
"Dannie" McMullen, Oornhusker
guard, who has played the most
consistent brand ol football all sea
son and was a tower of strength in
the Scarlet forward wall. There
was little dispute in placing his
wing-mates, timer Holm and Ted
James to handle the center posi
tion and the other guard post.
James was by far the outstanding
center in the Big Six and has

could not open up with their run
ning but managed to pass tho pass
ing game for a lone touchdown and
A safety ran the count 8 to 0, to
close one of tho most successful
gridiron seasons in the history of
Nebraska.
Seven victories, one defeat and
one tie is the result of what sport
scribes call the most difficult foot
ball schedule In recent years at
Nebraska. Winning the Big Six
football championship is the honor
brought to Nebraska by the superb
playing of the Husker squad. Win
ning all five of the conference bat
tles, defeating Missouri for the
first time In lour years, beating
Syracuse for the second season In
succession, and holding Pitt, to a
tie after last year s defeat Is the
summary of the 19!8 grid card.

Hearg had put his third game of the
1JOS schedule in ihe victory
column.
After 1he shouts oi tho Missouri
victory had died away, the Ne
braska eleven was ready to entrain
for Lawrence, the home of the
Kansas Jayhawkers. The third
conference game proved to be little
'opposition for Nebraska and the
Kansas eleven looked on a 2J to 0
defeat after the game. Battling
mud throughout the game, the
Husker "powerhouse" pounded the
Kansas line throughout the first
half and then got under way the
second canto to put the game safely
away.
Get Good Conference Start
Oklahoma was the destination of
the Cornhuskers ihe next week end
and Husker followers were a bit
leary of the Sooner came. It had
been many years since those two
elevens had met on ihe gridiron
and the last time proved fatal to
Nebraska. Coach I'.earg spent the
entire week pointing for Ihe Sooner
battle. On November 10 the two
minutes of mud battling left the
Nebraskans with a scoreless tie
and the first time of the season
that the Scarlet did not turn in a
victory. j

feat of the lf23 season was slated I
for the mighty Cornhuskers at the I

Husker game and although Clair I
Sloan's perfect kick opened the ;
scoring, the Army opened an of-

Nebraska and as dusk settled over I
the stadium. Hutchinson threw a!

touchdown and the final score

To-day, you can see big buildings erected
noiselessly by electric welding.
The structural steel worker is dropping
his clattering hammer for the electric
arc. Silently, swiftly, rigidly, economi
cally, buildings are being fabricated by
electric welding, which knits steel with
joints as strong as the metal itself.
Building silently! Nothing seems im-,
possible in this electrical age.
Not only in building construction, but
in every human activity, we instinctively
turn to electricity to add to the com
forts of life and to eliminate the wastes
of production another evidence that
the electrical industry is maintaining its
leadership in this changing world.
