Somewhat belated, but we are
still going to carry on about the
Rose Bowl game.
For individual stars, both Ne
braska and Stanford came up
with their prizes. The Indians had
a few more because of their wide
open style of play and color which
demonstrated individual play more
than the Huskers' defensive style.
That Cardinal club had the
fastest team this witness has
ever had the privilege of seeing.
It just wasn't a few backs, it
was the entire backftetd and the
greater share of the line, too.
SPEEDY STANDLEE
When you get a 220 pound full
back like Norm Standlee in the
blasting spot and who can travel
the century in close to ten sec
onds, you have a near mountain
slide tearing at you.
And then that Fete Kmctovic.
That junior can run as fast as
any on the Stanford eleven. Give
him a blocker out in front of him
on an end run, and he's liable to
sprint for a touchdown.
That 40-yard sprint of a punt
return he pulled against the Husk
ers had more than a few blockers
he had nearly the whole Indian
team mowing down Scarlet grid
ders. ALL-AMERICA ALBERT
And Gallarneau. That feller
Hugh drove to two touchdowns
with the speed of a dashman and
the power of a fullback. As for
Frankie Albert, it was plain to
see why he is labeled "All-American."
That junior southpaw handled
the ball on nearly every play
and passed and punted with rare
ability. Many of the Huskers
were of the opinion that he
could pitch the pigskin even bet
ter than Paul Christman. He
was, at least, a better all-around
performer than the loquacious
Missourian.
Nebraska had a few stars In its
own right Warren Alfson pulled
out of the line on defense to halt
some of the varied offensive
thrusts of the Indians. Ed
Schwartzkopf and Clarence Hern
don turned in the best defensive
games.
West coast observers were led
to believe that if the Huskers
were to have any All-American
candidate for 1911, the ones in
name would be these latter twj
and possibly the Viscount Vike
Francis.
ZIPPER ZIKMUND
Francis played fine ball and
showed plenty of drive in the first
poalward march of the Huskers.
Butch Luther, a lino handcuffed
after the first half, kept throwing
scare into the Indians whenever
the Butch Boy hand! 3d the ball.
Sophomore Allen Zikmund
was perhaps the brightest back
fiild luminary for the Hus'iers.

Francis praises Stanford Indians
in article for Los Angeles paper
By Vike Francis.
(Los Angeles Examhter)
The barber shops, with all their
quarterbacks, were still buzzing
with talk yesterday morning over
how good Stanford was and what
a battle we put up, but then since
I played a few minutes in the
game I thought perhaps I could
let you see the player's angle of
the game.
We want to hand it to Stan
ford, for a great team like that
doesn't come around every day.
We fellows have played some darn
good teams this year. Minnesota
and Pittsburgh had much more
raw power than Stanford. The
Gophers and Panthers also had a
sounder running game.
Finest backs.
But no team which we have
faced this year had as fine a set
of backs as Stanford, nor did any
team have the all-around ability
to cash in that Stanford had.
I know all you fans thought our
first touchdown looked very easy.
We knew this boy, Chuck Taylor,
was rated the hardest-charging
guard on the coast, and as he
would come across the line of
scrimmage we would mousetrap
him. Up until Clark Shaughncssy
sent in word to have him chug
and hold his position, it looked as
tho Stanford might have an extra
long afternoon.
That play takes perfect timing
and it is a play on which wc spent
a lot of time for thus game.
Costly slip.
The fact is, I thought I was
loose on the opening kickoff, and
probably would have been had I
not cut, slipped and fclL
Our policy all year has been to
go out and get the jump on the op
position, figuring that maybe
some of the players might still be
thinking about their "clippings"
from the week before. This pro
duced astounding results but not
against that Stanford club. Well,
personally, Nebraska would have
been much better off to let Stan
ford get the jump on us.
You may ask why. If you no
ticed the play-by-play of the game
you probably found our score
came just as easily as if Stanford
had sported us a si"-point lead be
fore the game. That's how fast it
happened. After getting one that
easily we all figured these Stan
ford boys, whom we bad heard ex
ploded just at certain times of the
game, were what we Nebraslcans
call pushovers.
You know, it seems funny, but
the last Stanford team I remember
playing in the Rose Bovl was
when Bobby Grayson "Bone" Ham
ilton and the boys were called the
"laughing boys." Well, when they
came up with this "bear dope"
that was put out about the flu
and Narm Standlee havirg a bad
lej, I thovht they should be called
the 'hard luoli" bojs.

that's out. If Standlee, who in my
opinion, is just a Mack truck with
out camouflage, was not up to par
against us, then, brother, I for one
am glad we don't play on the coast
more than once in 50 years.
And talk about your ail-Americans
I'll take Pete Kmctovic
with his twisting drives and speed.
You must have Tommy Harmon
made into twins before they could
shut out Kmetovic. We thought
George Franck of Minnesota very
fast, but after playing against
Pete (I called him that several
times and he responded) well,
from our standpoint Jesse Owens
isn't the world's fastest human
any mere!
Our team plaj'ed a swell game
and, tho our passing game fell
down for the first time all season,
Stanford had a very alert defense
for us. We, of course, didn't have
our all-American tackle, Forry
Eclim, at full strength, but his sub
stitute, Clarence Herndon, a jun
ior, played an outstanding game.
As you people who saw the
game noticed, we had to shift
Warren Alfson. our all-American
guard, to a haiTback post to stop
Bowl business
John K. Eclleck, financial director of athletics and student activ
ities, an.iounccd Wednesday that he did not expect full receipt or
knowledge of the share Nebraska received for participating in the
Rose Bowl game until another month has passed.
Cslleck rtrcsscd that there were a few thousand fans short of the
91,510 as first announced and that only after the promoters, Pacific
Coast conference, and Tournament of Roses have received their share
will the two schools (Stanford and Nebraska) receive their "cuts."

nationil News Cervix, here are the

Albert impressive.
We fellows were very much im
pressed with the play and field
generalship of Frankie "Pop-off"
Albeit. In Nebraska we kid a
fellow by referring to him as a
"pop-off" when he gets smacked
down hard and gets up spouting
off. Paul Christman of Missouri,
by the way, won his spurs after
spouting off to us. Pitching Paul
certainly has been a big headache
to us for two years, and Frankie
reminded us of him.
But for all-around abilitv I'll
ake Albert. He called a wonder
ful game and kept bis team cool
under fire.
Tho he wasn't the headache to
us that Kmetovic was, Hugh Gal
larneau proved one swell ball
player a great runner and de
fensive man.
The Stanford line was big and
strong, with a great set of guards;
and tho we threw a nice scare into
everyone for a while, I am still
wondering as I write these lines
why in 'ell Dick Palmer hit me
so hard on that punt return by
Kmetovic. After all, a brush
block would have done the job. It
was tough on my girl, too, because
she had to help me around at the
party after the game.
Felt block.
They tell me that the blocking
on that play was great, but from
my angle on the turf it wasn't so
good to look at That one guy
who came down from the air just
as Kmetovic crossed the goal line
was the writer and, believe me, I
felt it
We want to tell everyone that
the game found a warm spot in
our hearts, despite the broken leg
suffered by Allan Zikmund, one of
our halfbacks. We came out to
win, but since we didn't, we hope
we left the impression that we
were not overrated. We played
our heads off for a grand set of
coaches and a swell state. When
we get back home, the fans still
will be with us; and if we played
again, we feel they still would
bet on the same horse.

start season
this Sunday
By Bob Miller.
With three returning lettermen
to help Nebraska's hopes for a
Bib Six championship in swim
ming. Coach Richard "Pete" Hage
lin will take his charges to Omaha
Sunday afternoon to compete in
the midwestern AAU meet.
Coach Hagelin is depending on
these three lettermen and also an
exceptionally good crop of sopho
more swimmers to accomplish the
hard task of wresting the confer
ence title from Iowa State at
Ames, "which always has had and
always will have a good team," in
the coach's words.
The lettermen who are returning
include Bib Six Diving Champion
Ralph Worden from Alliance; Bill
Edwards, sprinter from- Lincoln,
and LcRoy Foster in the breast
stroke even, also from Lincoln.
Promising sophomores.
Among the list of sophomores
who will compose the remaining
11 places on the squad are: Don
Ililgert, distances, from Lincoln;
Tom Woods, sprints, from Lin
coln; Les Oldfield, back stroke,
from Lincoln; Carl Rohm an, back
stroke, from Lincoln; Harold Os
borne, breast stroke, from Lin
coln, and Bill Hull, diver, from
Fairbury.
Out of this group of sophomores
Les Oldfield has the best chance
of bettering the Bib Six record
in the backstroke. Oldfield has
been constantly under this record
in workouts this falh
Iowa State tough.
The squad that has been work
ing out since September will have
the most trouble with Iowa State
this season as has been the case
for many years. There is more
competition offered this season
than ever before in the opinion of
Coach Hagelin and some records
are due to fall.
The schedule is as follows:
Jan. 12 Midwest AAU at OmHtii.
Jan. 20 Carlton college at Lincoln.
Keb. 7 (Jrinnell at Lincoln.
Feb. 11 Kansas State at Lincoln.
Feb. 13 Iowa State at Lincoln.
Keb. 15 Oklahoma at Lincoln.
