When the gates of Memorial

football season after the Kansas
Aggie-Husker battle today, the
gridiron careers cf 13 Cornhuskers
will simultaneously terminate at
least as far as their "alma mater"
is concerned.
Of the 13 players to be lost thru
graduation are included eight let

ception of three have been playing
in every game. A non-letterman.

almost as much service this year
as the bearers of the "N" in

Vacancies in the line will be two

two of whom were reserves; one
guard and a center. The first

most with the two stalwart alter

Fresh Must Fill In
"Next year's squad will probably
have several of this season's fresh
men in the lineup, both in the for
ward wall and the backfield.
Bernie Masterson and George
Sauer, former Lincoln high stars,
will probably find themselves in
the backfield, replacing Young or
Long at fullback and Frahm at
halfback.

DEPART FOR SOUTH
Have Two Intersectional
Games Slated Against
Powerful Teams.
AMES. Ia. Nov. 26 A squad
of Cyclone football players leaves
the campus Thursday for the
"sunny Southland" to conclude
what has so far been a disastrous
season, with two intersectional
games. Loyola at New Orleans
Nov. 29, and Rice at Houston Dec.
6. No practice was held Monday
and only a light session was at
tempted today. Several of the men
who are making the trip came out
of the disheartening Drake game
with bad bruises, but they are ex
pected to be sufficiently recovered
: to make the trip.
Paul Trauger and Rudy Tegland.
crippled in the Missouri game and
still not completely recovered, are
included In the traveling roster.
To break into the win column In
these two games, a thing the
Cyclones have been unable to do in
the mid-west, the Workman
machine will have to repulse two
" strong Southern teams. Rice has
lost but two games of the ten
.which it has played; while Loyola
scored 121 points in her first four
games.
Those making the trip are:
Farrell, Swoboda. Allbee and
Johnson, ends; Captain Spear, Dix

Duesenberg, Hood. Bennett and In
termili, tackles; Nagel and Lich
ter, centers; and Wells, Bowes,

up the remainder of the party.
Buster Long Leads Husker In Finale
Andrew L. "Buster" Long of Buffalo, Wyo., will serve as game captain
Thursday when Nebraska closet the football season against the Kansas Aggies
at Memorial atadium.
Buster has traveled a rocky route to attain his present place In Corn
hutker football history. He "hung In there" during two discouraging seasons.
He would appear like the goods in practice but in hit few chances in games,
It wat another ttory. But Buter stuck. He played seven minutes hit first
season and three minutes last teason. He kept plugging and thlt
year It hat been hit writhing, twisting runt, hit patting and punt
ing that have proved a big atstt to the Husker cause.
They tell a story about Buster- one of many and like the
othen it may or may not be true. He had adorned the bench for
two yean. When the opening game of the 1930 teason rolled
around againtt the Texat Aggiet he wat ttill pretty much of a
wallflower. Fearing that hit bett friends hadn't
told him and that he wat occupying the tame posi
tion of the young woman who was often a brides
maid but never a bride, he went to Coach Bible and
asked this question:
"What's the matter with me, D. X.? I've been
holding down that bench for two years and It lookt
like I'll be there one more."
"Well, at things ttand now, I think there't
tomething like three or four boyt out tnere
better than you are. Maybe I'm wrong but If
I am there't ttill plenty of chance to prove It."
wonder what I'm aupposed to tay now.
Buster muted. He decided there wasn't any
thing left to tay but there were tome
things he could do about it. He did them
and the resultt speak for themselves.
There's one thing about Coach Bible
if a lad will stick to it and show any
ability he'll get his chance.

TRIES HEAD MENTOR
Wisconsin Papers Believe
Attempts at Ousting
Coach Prevail.
Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite, of
the University of Wisconsin, is "on
trial" before the athletic council,
sports writers of Madison report.
A meeting of the council late Mon
day broke up after a discussion of
merely routine matters, without is
suing any statement on the matter.
Many sports writers ot tne siaw.
press believe the coach is being
blamed for "bad breaks" entirely
outside his control, and regard the
attempt to oust him as simply the
perennial howling of disgruntled
students and "win or bust" alumni.
"It is an old procedure at v is-
consin," says the Milwaukee Jour
nal, "putting football coaches on
trial. It has been done for years,
and among a lot of folks now it
brings only a laugh, with perhaps
a bit of passing sympathy for the
gentleman who has been short
sighted enough to accept the posi
tion and happens to be up for
judgment.
"We don't see any reason why
Thistlethwaite should go, but if the
athletic association thinks differ
ently, the coach will have the last
laugh. He has stuck for tour years,
longer than either of his predeces
sors, which after all is -something."
"Wisconsin"s football team and
coaching staff has no apologies to
make," Thistlethwaite stated. I
am offering no abibies.
Said the Journal in conclusion,
"No school which changes coaches
every two or three seasons can ex
pect to gather in many champion
ships, if any."

Maclay Heads Big Six Loop
Scorers Last Year iWth
112 Points.
FISHER PUZZLES FANS
Hokuf and Davey Are Others
Upon Whom Black
Pins Hopes.
(By Leonard Conklin.)
Four basketeer lettermen extra
ordinary will form the nucleus of
Charley Black's 1930-31 hoop
squad, a crew incidentally that
may atone for the dethroning of
the Huskers as football kings ac
cording to preseason dope whis
perings. Don Maclay, Morris Fisher, Sel-
don Cavey and Steve Hokuf are
the lettermen eligible this year.
Maclay Tops Scorert.
Maclay had a sensational record
last season. A Big Six total of 112
points placed him at the head of
the point scoring list in the confer
ence and nominated the Auburn
youth for all conference choice.
His six feet three inches at the
center position nearly monopolized
the tipoff so that combining this
with long strides for quick break
ing short shots Maclay was a con
stant threat.
"Morrey" Fisher is slated for a
bis vear. Fisher and Maclay were
tied in the conference last year at
21 points each as a record for tal
lies made in a single game until
this man Bishop of Kansas ran up
a total of 23 in a battle that Kan
sas won 36 to 35.
Fisher Ambidextrous.
Husker fans usually stay awake
nights trying to figure out whether
Fisher is right or left handed.
Good authority classifies him as
"both handed" and one or tne
most deceptive passers and drib
blers in the valley.
Hokuf, the mainstay in Nebras
ka's defense last year, will finish
football today and be on deck for
practice Monday when Black in

Surplus of Dartmouth Game
Promised to Bay Region
Community Chest.
PALO ALTO. Cal. As an aid to
the present unemployment situa
tion .Stanford university has of
fered to give its surplus profits in
the Dartmouth game to the Bay
Region Community Chest in Cali
fornia, it was announced recently.
Following, a decision of the
Board of Athletic Control, none of
the University funds will be used,
but the profits from the game will
be distributed among the Com
munity Chests of the Bay Region
for unemployment relief during
the winter.
Half of Share Given
The plan calls for the donation
of one-half of Stanford s share ot
all tickets sold in excess of 25,000
and al of its share of tickets sold
in excess of 50,000.
Following is Stanford's offer in
full:
"1. The financial needs c' Stan
ford University are too great to
permit it to expend its resources
even for so worthy an object as
unembloyment relief.
"2. The University and its Board
of Athletic Control realize the un
precedented seriousness of the un
employment situation and, within
the limitations Imposed by para
graph one above, desire to help in
the fullest degree.
"3. Stanford plays Dartmouth at
Stanford on Saturday. November
29. Tickets are $3 50 each, of
which Stanford receives $1.75.
Name Conditions
"4. Subiect to the conditions
named below, the university de
sires to make the following offer
whereby funds may be secured for
relief of unemployed persons inru
the stimulation of increased at
tendance at the Dartmouth game:
"Stanford will give one-half of
its share of all tickets sold in ex
cess of 25.000 and all of its share
of all tickets sold in excess of
50.000.
"Funds thus made available will
be distributed among the commun
ity chests of the San Francisco
bay region to be used for the relief
of unemployed this winter. The
distribution will include the com
munity chests in San Francisco,
Oakland, Berkeley and San Jose
tojether with other smaller chests
in the San Francisco bay region.
The funds will be prorated among
the eligible cbesta on the basis of
their annual collections.
Will Aid If Possible.
"5. To repeat, in this proposal
Stanford university with the co
operation of its board of athletic
control, is not giving away money
to which it has a reasonable ex
pectation. That It cannot do. Bi.t
it wishes to help if it can. and in
effect it is saying that, if the jun-
