NEBRASKA'S FOOT BALL TEAM
Outlook at the University Is Uncommonly
Good Just at Present.
COACH BOOTH HAS MUCH MATERIAL
Plenty of lUperlenpeil Plnjers from
Which to Work, tint nn llleirn
to He pre sent the
Mntr.
LINCOLN. Sept II -(Special ) The Ne
braska university foot ball situation Is be
coming animated. Coach Walter C. Booth
arrived In tho city last night, Captain Brew
has been hero since Wednesday and Man
ager Tukey enrao In tonight. A confer
ence wns held this evening and the situation
thoroughly canvnssed. All threo officials
are dollghted with the prospect. Said Cap
tain Brew:
"The prospects for a winning team were
never better In tho history of tho school.
Wh nro going to have an nbundnnco of
heavy nnd tried material. In addition to
nine of last year's players there will be n
number of experienced men who played on
our own team In former years, and men
from other colleges who will be In the
school this fall. No mnn Is assured n po
sition. Everyone will hnvo to work for
what he gets, regardless of reputation."
Coach Boolh Is n large, affable and nt
tractlvo looking young man of 21 yenrs. For
four consecutive seasons he has hcen n
member of the Princeton first eleven. In
ISflO he began nt tnckle. worked from there
to guard nnd there on to center, where ho
remained for tho thrco succeeding yeuis. He
wns graduated from the academic course
last Juno and has been spending his vaca
tion In the mountains of the east. He
comes hero with his interest In his work
nnd with a warm sentiment for the univer
sity. As soon ns tho law school opens he
will register for work In the Junior class,
becoming ono of the students. He says his
playing weight Is 210, but he looks twenty
pounds better than that now.
Wants to Develop Kickers.
It Is too early In the season for him
to tell Just what stylo of play he will leach,
as much will depend on the personnel of the
men. Ho favors a kicking game, but if
punters cannot be developed ho Is willing
to resort to lino bucking methods. On this
score ho snld:
'Thero should be much kicking If we've
got the men, but If we haven't got them nnd
can't develop them, woil have to use other
methods."
So far thero are no kickers with reputa
tions In sight. They may bo developed
later, however. Thero Is plenty of excellent
material In prospect, though, and tho fact
that a man once held a position on tho team
Is no assurance ho will hold tho place this
year. So far the most prominent candi
dates expected in school are:
Mntrrlnl Im Mlnht.
Center Koehler, last year's center, and
Welch, center for Oma'ha High school last
year.
Guards Brew nnd Ringer, last year's
guards; Hnllen, from Tabor college, la., a
member of tho '97 team; Gilbert, a member
of the victorious team of 'PS, and Plllsbury,
member of the same famous eleven.
Tackles Westover. last year's left
tackle; Gilbert, Pullsbury and Fisher, tho
star tackle for Doane In '!'".
Ends Corlelyou nnd Drain, who played
these positions last season; Stringer, a
right end for the seasons of '97 nnd '9R,
nnd Ryan, n quick, heavy, nervy man, who
failed to make tho tenm last yenr. He has
been spending his summer in the Rocky
raouutalns preparing for the coming cam
paign. He himself Is confident that he
will win n place.
Quarterback Manager Tukey and "Stub"
Crandall, both of whom played last season;
cx-Captnln Williams, Gordon, Hooper aid
McKlllop.
Fullback Carver, Gordon and Bell, all
of whom played this position at times dur
ing Inst season; Tucker, fullback on tho
team ot '94; Kingsbury and Hollen.
Halfback Kingsbury, Follmer. Williams,
Hell and Gordon.
(iruiliiute Conches Plenty.
It Is thought the team this year will have
tho advantage ot considerable graduate
coaching. "Bill' Melford, captain of tho
victorious team of '98, will be In the city
If he doesn't accept a position offered ns
coach at a minor school, which naw seems
quite Improbable, and has agreed to lend
his experience and knowledge of tho game
to Nebraska's aspirants this year. Wig
gins, who played end for four years, has
agreed to come down from Omaha once a
week nnd assist In coaching this portion
of tho lino nnd William Manss, nn ex-Yale
end, will also nld this portion of tho men.
An effort Is being made to establish a
training table. Kansns' superb endurnnce
last year Is attributed to tho fact that she
had a training tablo and Nebraska s coach,
cnptaln nnd manager will not bo satisfied
this year until tho samo privilege Is en-
Joyed hero.
