When Captain John Weller concluded1 hla university course last spring ha left a big hols In the Comhusker eleven to be filled this fall.

Right end Beltser anl Guards Frum and Hart have shown the greatest strength In the punting line and little difficulty Is likely to be encountered in getting a satisfactory punter. Frum has been sending the ball sixty and slxty-flvs yards, which Is as far as Captain Weller was capable of booting it. He- says he will be able to beat the sixty-five yard mark after a little more training this fall. Beltser and Hart have been making distancea nearly equal to those of Frum. They can be depended on to strengthen the punting division of the Comhusker eleven. The great problem of the kicking depart ment will be to develop a men who csn score points on drop or place kicks. Aa yet only one man etanda out aa likely to suc ceed to that position Utt vacant by the departure of Captain Weller.Tls is the lightning fullback. Kroger, who scored touchdaan on Minnesota last fall by his rapid work. Last season he attracted some attention with his drop kicking, and at that time waa discussed as the probable suc cessor to Captain Weller. This spring in tha early practice he shewed marked Im provement over his kicking of last fall. Jyhawker were tairemely weak on the offeneive and had nft been drilled surfi-1 clentry to break up a pass. I Fas kit a at cad Plswien. There were no players on the 1T Ne braaka eleven who raneed! the bail ac curately enni'gh and aa far aa waa neces sary ta assure that It would not be rp ture4 by ths opposing team. Fumbling of the hall and a slowness In getting under It to receive the psss were fata) weak nesses, and they often resulted In the opponent making gains. The failure of an end t receive a forward ps ta the game with Minnesota last fall when he hd a clear field before him to the Gopher goal, cost Nebraska a touchdown which would have won the contest. Captaja Weller and Quarterback Cooke were th most adept of any of the Cornhuakeera In asslng the hall, but they rarer exhibited the accuracy of Surrett of Colorado, or HuSrard of Ames. To receive the pasa there was na player on the team who cwrid be depended on. although Captain Harvey of the IV eleven, who aaa ata tloned at end during the latter part of the season, began to show some ability in that line before Thanksgiving. The for maid pas, a aaa satipfsotorily demonatrated last year, when ueed by killed players can be worked effectively. but when handled by an Inaccurate and fumbling eleven, will often be employed with fatal results to the offense. In the l e formed game a good kicker may save hia team from defeat, but many times when B cennot score the forward pasa and the Opposing eleven of two evenly matched contestants has none, the former la likely to make the atronger bid for the victory. Thla waa the case in the Nebrafka-St-Loui game on Thnkgtving. Th Corn- cuskera had no effective forward pasa. while the Catholic employed one that was used repeatedly for long gains and which resulted In mora than one touchdown being scored for the Mound City warriors. If accuracy In using the forward paaa titn needed laat season It surely will be re quired thia fall tale Altered This Tear. The forward pays rule has been altered thia aeaaon. Under Ha provisions last season any player of either side could secure the ball after It had been legally touched. The revision allows only the player of the passer's aide who first legally touched the ball to recover it until It has been touched by an opponent. This change greatly Increase the dangers from fumbling, for the defense hss been given greater opportunltiea to get a ball that has been dropped by the player to whom It waa thrown. The chancea for a player of the passer's side to recover the bsll after It ha fallen from hla hands are minimised. This change means that ail of the Corn busker, players must he drilled to handle the ball much better than they did last year. Fumbling must be done away with as far as possible, and an ability to ac curately pass the ball acquired. Some of the members of the team wfll becom skilled In handling the ball by a little practice, but with others Coach Cola will hav to spend much time in drilling them how to hold on to it. Fumbling and in accurate pasting, auch aa characterised the play of the Cornhuskers at times last aeasoa. is very likely ta prove fstal un der revised rules. Often a pass when handled right will bring a touchdown for tha defense. On the other hand, the fumbling of a pass by either team t liable to glv the other aid a chance to score. It is thia task of training the Comhusker in the tkillfjl see of th f.-rwsrd pi snd at the same time m'ft'.mis their fumhurg that etanda out at "King Cole hlg work f"r thi fall. hart ee slral Ta raw.
