Student opinion and alumni let
ters definitely prove that most
alumni and nearly all Nebraska
students are still back of the
Cornhuskers almost 100 percent.
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

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

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

Cornhuskers.
The freshmen will be in charge

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.

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'
