We promised you that opening
date on intramurals and here it is!
The soccer baseball tournament
will probably start Octobtr 6.
That's quite a way off so you un
affiliated girls have plenty of time
in which to organize your teams.
The dorm girls will play for their
respective dormitories, but you
town girls must ' do vour own or
ganizing. Ering your team lists
to the WAA office in Grant Memo
rial by Friday of this week.
Again this year the WAA will
handle all concessions at the foot
ball games. As before, college
girls who wish to sell in the stands
on a commission basis will be ad
mitted free to the games. Any
girl who is interested in jelling
should come over to the WAA
office for further particulars.
Although postponed for tw
weeks because of conflict with
registration and rush week,, the
WAA party for new students will
be held. The date is October 5, and
the time is 7:00 to 8:45, Games
and folk dancing will help every
one to get acquainted and re
freshments will be provided by the
WAA.
For the benefit of those who
nay not have heard about them,
we will insert a plug about the
WAA bicycles. Eight bicycles are
available to university students.
During the week they may be
rented at the WAA office. Bicycles
may be rented on week-ends by
calling early and making appoint
ments with the WAA secretary.
The new WAA secretary for the
coming year is Lois Klindt. Mickey
McPherson is continuing as the
other WAA secretary. This year
the office will be open as indicated
by the schedule of office hours
posted in Grant Memorial.

dent Last year's president. Pat
Shaw, did not return to school. The
vacancy will probably be filled at
the WAA executive council meet
ing Thursday evening.
The rubber shortage has caught
up with the physical education de
partment. Rubber soled gym shoes
are not to be had. Because so
many juniors and seniors have
gym shoes that they are not using
this year, the phys. ed. depart
ment is asking the uppercla3smen
to sell their shoes to the freshmen.
If you have a pair of tennis
shoes in reasonable condition, and
know of no one who wants to buy
them, phys. ed. department will be
glad to see that someone contacts
you about buying your old shoes.
Send your name, the size of the
shoes you wish to sell, and the
approximate condition of same to
the physical education office
Here's your chance to pick up s
little cash as well as make the
situation in the phys. ed. depart
ment a little less difficult.
Mentor "Lew" Lewandowski
continued to drill his untried Husk-
er gridnien for the oncoming Min
nesota fray by whistling the youth
ful aspirants thru a lengthy signal
drill.
With seasoned candidates as
scarce as cavier at company mess.
Lewandowski is taking no chances
of injuring any squad members
prior to the Gopher battle. Hence
forth, scrimmage has been
scratched from the pre-game rep
ertoire. Speedy Ted Kenfield, diminutive
Hunker quarterback, was guiding
the No. 1 backfield with a firm
hand on the tiller Tuesday after
noon. Kenfield apparently has re
covered from the knee injury
which kept him from performing
in the Saturday scrimmage.
From his position arears the
pivot in the "T formation. Ken
field guided the customary Husker
starters. Clark Beaver and Jim
Swanson were at the halfback
posts with the varsity fullback
post still awaiting the arrival of
2i)0 pound Jim Hanson, hi Omaha
to straighten out his draft status.
Hauser Puzzled.
Advance reports from the Go
pher camp reveals that Dr. George
Hauser. head coach, is puzzled
about the mettle of the Husker
team.
"We don't know what to ex
pect," he said to the Minneapolis
press. "But we do know one thing:
Never underestimate the Corn-
huskers."
Enough seasoned Gophers are in
to give the Nebraskans a long
afternoon. Halfback "Red" Wil-
iams ran rampant over Missouri
Saturday and Quarterback Bill
Garnaas is of All-America caliber.

NORMAN, Okla., Sept 28.
Oklahoma's second war-time foot
ball team, this one young, light,
and sprocketed for speed, will at
tack the granite front of the for
midable Norman Naval Air Sta
tion Zoomers in the opening foot
ball game of the 1913 season start
ing at 2:30 p. m. Saturday at
Owen field here.
"Outweighed 17 pounds per man
in the first team and giving away
nrore experience than in all the
rest of their games combined,
the Sooners probably are facing
the most difficult assigned of their
entire season in ther- first battle.
"If we can keep from getting
anybody hurt, I'll be satisfied to
forget all about the score, "Dewey
Snorter" Luster, coffee-swigging
Sooner coach, says nervously.
Zoomer fans counter by pointing
out that Sooner teams have lost
only three opening home games
in 45 years at Norman.
Zoomers Heavy.
Rating the two squads on paper.
the Zoomers are far heavier, older,
and more experienced and have
been scrimmaging furiously the
past four weeks in their zeal to
topple the university boys in this
first pigskin clash of all time be
tween the friendly interborough
rivals.
Led by 27year-old Ensign Steve
Andrejko. 210-pound center who
played three years at Ohio State
and two with the Washington
Redskins, national professional
football champions, the Zoomer
first team averages 194 pounds
and 23 years per man with nine
of the eleven starters former col
lege players. The Zoomer starting
line outweight Oklahoma's, 206
pounds to 184 per man.
If Luster's Sooners stay In the
ball game, it appears they will
have to depend upon speed, aerial
play and deception to match touch
downs with their bigger and more
seasoned opponents, and there is
no assurance but what Gregg's
Zoomers also are fully as pro-
ncient as the Sooners in these de
partments in addition to the un
questioned power and savagery of
weir running game.

nearly every type of major injury
the rough game breeds-three
brain concussions, a broken ankle,
a chipped hip bone, two knocked
down shoulders, two crippled knees
and a million "charley horses," he
still finds football fascinating.
Returning to scribbling the football wars of the Cornhiisk
ers after a year absence produces gross retroH'ct. It was at
this jKiint one year ago when we columned in this sheet that
"Nebraska shouM defeat Iowa in a close seasonal opener."'
It's one year later and inother seasonal opener looms in
sight.. We have yet to review the 1S43 Cornhusker edition, but
we have kibitzed a Minnesota practice session and saw the Indiana-Northwestern
skirmish Saturday night.
Minnesota has a bis. experienced club, capable of matchinsr
an old-time Husker power combine. In Hill (lamaas, Mentor
(Jeorge Hauser has one of the top quarterbacks in the nation.
Tackle Paul Mitchell, a defensive stalwart in the All Star
Kedskin Fracas, is the key to-a typically-solid Gopher line.
Only in forward wall replacements do the hig Swedes show a
marked deficiency.
'My boys have come a long way since pi act ice started."
answered Hauser 'to our query. "Hut, I'm not predicting a
thin."
Indiana's predominately-frosh outfit exhibited mid-season
finesse and dispatch in losing by a scanty 14-6 count to a
heaviU -favored Northwestern club.
Junior End Pete Pihos demonstrated once aain why he
was selected as an AH-Star starter over the top wingroen ia
the nation. A real thorn to the Huskers in the Indiana fnyi
last fall, Pihos combines enough pass catching and general all
round expertness to make any club dangerous.
Tihos is abetted in the backfield by "Stoop ' lloernsche
meyer. a frosh backt'ielder who possesses all the grid savvy of
Hilly Hillenbrand. He cannot yet sweep the ends or skiin the
tackles with true Hillenbrand polish, but he was elusive enousit
to personally gain 14 yards through a rugsed Northwestern
line Saturday night. His passing technique also had I'appy
Waldorf's defenders in torrid water more than once during
the evening.
Indiana's attack flashed the typical Bo McMillin favori
tism toward end sweeps and laterals, replete with a liberal
splash of passes, s
Husker V-12 lads at Northwestern who saw action against
Indiana included Center Joe Partington. End VA Nyden and
Tackle Al (Inibauh. None of the tiio saw over ten minutes
action time, a plight caused by the fact that V-12 gridmeu have
not had time 1o master the difficult Wildcat signals.
Partington, who tackled everything that trotted rrora we
benches of Husker opponents last fall, summed up the game
with: "We only get to practice one hour a day and Waldorf
plays are exactly opposite to the ones we used at Nebraska
last fall, so I don't imagine any of us in V-12 will see much
action for at least a couple of games."
