Lincoln sport writers still bark the team, not out of hope of sav ing their skins, but purely because they see reason to support the team. The one prominent writer who did take a healthy sock at the team has done ro evidently with a purpose. Whatever that purpose is, he has made sure that no matter what happens Saturday, he will have something to say Sunday, worded to the effect that he "told you so" or he did it to "instill spirit in the team." Husker footballers got down to . serious business this week and are ' no longer pointing, as the teams of years before have done, for Pitt. Missouri will invade Huskei land Saturday with reputable record . . . something the Huskers lack, although there is no one who can be blamed for that. Missouri, according to Adolph Lewandowski, is the toughest team in the conference, lacking only . strong quarterbacking. According to his words, who then, should criticile Nebraska if they drop a game Saturday? Better, perhaps, are the Husk er losses for the conference, even 8PECIAL STUDENT RATES On Rentals ol All Makes of Typewriters - Service Supplies TRI-STATE TYPEWRITER CO. 240 N. 13th I'lvne B-IOOS Scarlet Aims to 1 c ' 'Show-Me' State icam Toiling later each night, Corn husker footballers are receiving this wet k their fullest dose of stiff and rough practice sessions. Dis carded have been frosh defenders for varsity offensive thrusts and the major has set up his tnira stringers against first and second string offensive units. Rigid punting, passing, and blocking drills were run off last night, with Jones pointing out flaws in technique and positions. Ends, under W. H. Browne en gaged frosh backs in active tack ling practice. Before trotting down to the sta dium sod for inter-team scrim mage, the Jones Boys were pitted against the freshman Missouri team. The lineups, consisting of the toward wall and the fullback held the yearlings to practically no gain on every play, with end Ray Prochaska sparkling along with Bob Mills. Bill Hermann, Os ceola guard replaced Bill lverson, regular first stringer, who injured his neck Monday evening. Bill is expected to be in shape Saturday. Arlo Klum was moved up to fill Hermann's guard vacancy on sec ond string and Lomax moved up to fill Klum's on third. Klum was plowing through the frosh line mm though we at Nebraska hate to see the team lose. No longer is the Big Six a one team confer ence. Reserves at other schools have given them strength, have tightened the conference race. Maybe the wolves will stop their Big Ten howling . . . the Big Six is plenty fast competition. Missouri has more than Christ man. Missouri has a flock of speedy, hard hitting backs, and another back who passes with per haps more accuracy than even the highly touted sophomore just men tioned. Their line isn't as experi enced as Oklahoma's but it is more experienced than Nebraska's. There is the gloomy prospect that the Huskers will be hobbled Saturday, as Hermie Rohrig is still scampering about in sweatsuit nursing his injured leg. Charlie Biock has a troublesome foot that bobbed up on him Tuesday night in practice. Bill lverson. first string guard, isn't in his best form after a Tuesday night bump. This game is plenty tough to guess at, yet this column will atick to Ne braska. The team Is due, they'll be play ing the ir hearts out to show they can win, and they have just as good a collection of football play ers as Missouri. with regularity on the second's defensive efforts, with the frosh having no noticeable success against the major's second and third strings. After defense work against Lewandowski's charges, the first string line, the same as Monday's with Hermann filling for lverson, coupled with Hopp at quarter; Rohrig and Dodd at halves, and Callihan at full to hammer away at the thirds, who had Andreson, at fullback. No secondary de fense was employed in this var sity scrimmage. Seconds, with Freddie Meier at center, replacing Bob Burruss, who filled in for Charlie Brock all afternoon, were given the ball against the thirds, and succeeded in piling up 4 and 5 yards at an attempt. The first stringers had done the same with Hopp carrying most of the mail. Luther led the seconds' charge. In sweat suit last night were Edsel Wibbels, fullback, still fa voring an injured knee; Bill lver son, guard; out with sore neck muscles; Porky Nuernberger. out with a cut over one eye; Leo Hahn. reserve end, careful of an early season bump; George Porter, quar ter, iusi over an lntirmarv vaca tion; and Bob Kahler, ' second string end, out with a sore knee. Polish of offensive plays and incessant plugging at defensive work appears to have brought the team up to high pitch. Victory over Missouri is highly possible and probable. Jimmy Conzelman, whose Wash ington University team Missouri's Tigers beat Saturday, said before the game that Don Faurot's boys were the best Missouri team in a decade, and reiterated his stand after the game in which the Co lumbians won 13-0. The Tigers didn't show a pass ing game to the surprise of Wash- ingtomane who were expecting a barrage of passes from sophomore Paul Christman. They threw only 7 passes, completing two, and stuck to the ground in a show of power that has had St. Louis sports writers raving since. Christman. 205 pound quarter back who did his prep playing at Maplewood, St. Louis suburb, showed the home boys quite a chase on fake pass plays. To quote one scribe: "Christman, using an unortho dox quarterback stance which re sembled that of a baseball battle at the plate rather than a man taking a football from center, would feint a pass to a comrade, and then cut into or through the Washington line." Missouri line, which will be giving pounds to the Huskers, out weighed Washington seven pounds to the man. and outcharged the Bears throughout the game. Sam R. Buck Writes Letter From Washington By Jim DeWolf. Nebraska's drouth of football victories this year has been heard of in all parts of the country by loyal alumni who know that the Comhusker football team cannot win every game and cannot have good seasons and win conference chamoionshlns indefinitely. One of the most loyal alumni is Sam R. Buck, of Friday Harbor, Washinston. who made his A. B. degree in 1908 and graduated from Nebraska's law college in 1912. While in school Mr. Buck piled ud a list of activities that makes the eves of activity men today blink. Mr. Buck was editor of the Daily Nebraskan during 1908, the first editor of the Awgwan, a member of Koamet Klub, and a Com husker staff member for three Browne Calls Hoop Candidates Basketball Coach Begins Squad Drill Varsity and freshmen basket ball candidates not out for foot ball have been summoned to bas ketball court by Coach W. H. Browne, chief cage tutor of the Cornhuskers. The freshmen will be in charge of Assistant Coach "Chili" Arm strong and will work out from 4 to 5:30 each afternoon starting next week. The varsity squad will work out each afternoon except Wednesdays when the Huskers will drill in the evening. During a timeout in the Geurgia Furman game .spectators were amazed to hear the quiet broken by a tiny voice crying "Make a touchdown, daddy." It was the four year old son of Quinton Lumpkin, center and captain of the I team cheering the old man on. The little fellow thinks his dad is , tops where it comes to football i playing.

Classified ADVERTISING 10 PR LINE years. Taking the time to remember Nebraska's football eleven on his 50th mile stone, Mr. Buck sent an airmail letter to Morris Llpp, now editor of the Daily Nebraskan, stating that "I feel sure, aside from the gamblers possibly, no body Is really beefing; about the team." Golne on. Mr. Buck says that while the alumni on the coast, and that's quite a few, are not ac customed to hearing about Ne braska's football teams losing, thev are not blaming either the boys on the team or me coacn He even goes fanner ana says that if Nebraska does not win single game all year playing against top-flight teams, and still keeps the reputation of being an amateur team, the alumni on me coast will be satisfied. As long as the alumni of Ne braska feel as they do about this season, which promises to be trie worst in many years, Major Biff Jones and his Huskers will be able to point towards years to come and show the loyal ammni mat Nebraska can still develop th' MEALS ARCADE RENT CARS FORDS and CHEVROLET Phone B1S47 1011 N St, With loe Cream or Pie 15C nd "P ORPHEUM GRILL Orpheam ThMlrr Bids. 113 So. llth 000000000000 HEAR GEOFFREY OH AR A Famous Composer Speaker and Raconteur I pa tared end AoiKed r GRIEG MALE CHORUS sat Mtrr Polk Shocker, Contralto TEMPLE THEATRE rrMajr, Oct. tt; 8:15 P.
