FIRST CORNHUSKER CAME
Peru Normal ii to Furnish the Tryout
for the Squad.
VETERANS COME IN SLOWLY
. ire r:ipected to Rfcitw lp Thl
Week with the Possible F.ireptloa
of Colllna, Onlrr, Who May
.Not Iletarn to Srhoot.
LINCOLN. Sept. 1.-fSpec1al ) Nebraska
will lino up against the Peru normal at
Ar.teiope park Saturday afternoon In the
opening gams of the seaaon on the Corn
busker schedule. The normals played the
Initial game with Nebraska last fall and
proved an easy rrcy, the wore being 53
to 0 against them. Although the contest
of a year ago wan only a romp for the
Cornhuskers, It gave their coach a Una on
the early form of the scarlet and cream
players Just na the game next Saturday Is
expected to. do. It was In the Peru game
last season that "King" Cole first saw tha
possibilities of Captain Weller as a punter
and drop kicker, and from that time he
aft out to develop him Into the phenomenal
toe artist that the Cornhusker star became
before the close of the season.
If a few more of the "N" men of last
fal! return to training this week the game
with the normals is expected to be another
romp for the Cornhuskcrs. Coach Cole will
tiy some of his new plays In. this 'game and
give several of the ' promising kickers a
rlinme to show their ability In booting the
ball for distance and accuracy. Those who
do the best work will be given special train
ing In the kicking department that a man
may be found among them hwo will be able
to take up former Captain Welter's task
In the kicking department.
The slowness with which tha Veterans
of last year came back to practice this
week wac a little discouraging to the
v-oachoo, who had looked for a large num
ber to be present for the first week of
training. Captain Harvry and Right Guard
Frum Were the only two old men who had
rut In an appearance Until Thursday, the
third day of practice "Bill" Clialoupka,
the big right tackle, and Kroger, fullback,
arrived oni that day, and Johnson and
Reltzer, ends, ahowed up yesterday. But
the fact that there are twelve "N" men of
lust year who are eligible this fall and that
1-ss than half of them reported this week
the return of these veterans did not add
much Joy to "King" Cole's cup.
Barprlso to Coach,
The sulky attitude of tha players has
pushed Manager Eager and the. coaches
this week. The twelve "N" mea of last
ecu son are not delinquent In their studies
and all of them atand excellent chances of
making their letters again thla year. Their
return to training within a few days would
give Nebraska the best opportunity of re
cent yeara to defeat Minnesota in the an
nual game at Minneapolis. October 17, To
accomplish this trick has been the aim of
Cornhusker foot ball men alnce 1902, and
last era son the members of the1- tearrr" were
c.infiilent that this fall would see them
the victors over the Gophers, and all of
them were looking forward to thla year's
game for that reason. The coaches believe
all the veterans will soon begin to have a
longing for the gridiron game and that be
fore many daya will report for training.
For a while It was feared that "Pip"
Cooke, the fast quarterback of the Corn
huskcrs, would not he In the game this
fall,-but word was received from him today
saying that he would reach Lincoln Sunday
and be ready to don a ault Monday or
Tuesday. The return of Cooke disposes of
the -quarterback problem and assures Ne
braska a good general for the team. "Pip"
has had two years' experience on the
Cornhusker eleven and thla fall should de
velop Into a real star. Hla sensational
runs last year gained him the position of
quarter on the All-Missouri valley eleven.
Willi a strong line In front of him tills
Reason Cooke is expected to furnish many
exciting and Joyous moments for the Corn
husker supporters.
No word was received this week from
"Sid" Collins, center on last season's team,
and the roaches are beginning to fear tltat
the rumor about his decision to stay out
of school are true, and that another man
nill have to be put at center In his place.
Charles Borg, who was captain 'of the
Coruhuskera in 1905. will likely take the
place In case Colllna docs not return. Borg
waa a star center while In school and will
make Nebraska a strong man this season.
He, however, will not be eligible for the
Minnesota game on account of being barred
by the three-year confereence rule. For
that game some other player would have
to be substituted for Borg. There la a man
mi the squad now who looka as though he
could hold down that poattlon verjj well. He
Is Wolcott, a husky second year man,
whom Cole had playing at renter thla
week. He weighs 300 pounds and did good
work all week. He Is regarded as a new
man who la likely to win hla letter thla
fell.
Developing; a Kicker.
Frum. last season's right guard, and
Harvey Rathbone, a second year man, did
the greater aharo of the work In the boot
ing department thla week. Krum practiced
all summer In punting and thla week was
able to send the ball fifty yarda. Itathbono
la a former Lincoln High school player and
ho boota the ball well both for distance
and for drop kicks. Hla work thla week
attarcted considerable attention and marked
hint aa a player who will probably get a
numeral thta season or next.
Practice this week waa light. The
squad, starting out Tuesday afternoon
with fifteen members, numbered forty by
Friday. Coach Cole, on the first two daya
ran the candidates through a drill In han
dling tha ball. They lined up for much
of the time on those days and passed the
spheroid to each other In order to get uaed
o holding It. They also were sent after
the ball when It was kicked, and compelled
to fall on It that they might become ac
customed to holding the sperolds sent down
T.e field on punts and forward passes.
Thursday and Friday the men were lined
up In team formation and Bent through
several simple plays. Punting and drop
kicking held-the attention of a few of the
candldatea every day. Next week "King"
i oie win give hla pupils some new plays
'"' tried out In the game egaini
l"eru. The forward pass and on-slde kick
will be two of the plays uaed.
Among- tha second-year men who have
showed ui for practice thla week and who
give promise of doing some strong playing
are Temple and F.lllott. Both were mem
bers of the freahmen team last year and
played excellent bail. Temple la a back
field man and waa captain of tha freah
men last fat!. He weighs 180 pound and is
faat. In the gamea duririe bis rf v..-

Whipping Material Into Form to
I'p All Time of the
HeaTy Teams la Now Taking;
E a pert.
Oarh Cronk feels ha has a tiarn task
befora him to put out a winning- team.
The sentiment axpressed last year by oil
players that the '08 season would he ttva
moat trying In years seems likely to pro
true. A great deal of hope was based on
the reputed value of new men which may
have been unmerited.
Six men are yet absent from last year'a
team and one at the beat la all that may
yet arrive. Browne, the famous kicker,
leaves a large hole, Indeed, and as yet no
very promising 'substitute has appeared.
There Is still a possibility that Mortar, the
smiMhlng halfback, ' may put In an appear
ance. There la alao a loss In last year's
second team, Lavrlck, Fuller and Templln.
from whom much was expected, not having
yet shown up for gridiron work. Fred,
Jones, the player who was Injured and
critically 111 at the South Omaha hospital
last fall, will not be In this seaaon'a squad
because of the anxiety It would naturally
cause his parents.
The team went through a hard practice
Friday night, trying out new formations,
etc.
Fred A. Jones has been elected trainer
for this season. He will have the active
co-operation of many old students in keep
ing the men In good condition. Tha train
ing gymnaalum hea been refurnished with
excellent tables, sufficient to accommodate
all the men. More attention will be given
to the care of men. than has formerly been
done. President Stookey will support ath
letics of all kinds and especially foot -ball.
A reception for new students was given
Friday evening In Clarke hall. The dec
orations were purple and gold. Refresh
ments were served and a fine program
rendered.
Bud" Kearns of the Bellevue team has
accepted a position as director of athletic
at the Fremont Young Men's Christian as
sociation. The proposed organisation of the literary
and debating aooletles on Friday night waa
necessarily postponed because of the te
ceptlon tendered that evening to the - new
students.
DIETZ HAS FAST FOOT BALL TEAM

The home team won both the matches In
singles today. William A. Larned defeating
J- - Ritchie, three sets to one; ecorea
4-8. 6-3, 6-2. 6-3, and Beala C. Wright dis
posing of John G. Parke, three sets to two
scores, 8-10, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6, 6-2.
The afternoon did not onen .nn,,-.-
Ingly for the Americans, with T.m
cecdlngly nervouse and Wright unable to
. . nuo nis swing, the British players took
game after game, both winning the initial
sets. But Larned steadied down to hH
usual resourceful game and carried off th.
next three sets, the match and th. .,.,.
contest, although there were brief peiioda
when Ritchio looked dangerous. In the
meantime. Wright has lost his aecond set
and the score five games fo three agalnat
him, when three brilliant place shots gave
him a lift and from that time he Im
proved steadily and not only took the set,
but the next two also, ending the game In
grand style.

State Chamalona Will Have Nine of
the Old Aga-rea-atlon.
The Diets Athletic association will have
a foot ball team In the field again this
year. The Diets team of last year was the
undisputed champions of Nebraska, and, M
about nine of the champlonahlp team are
back, the outlook Is pleasing for another
pennant winning bunch.
The Diets team had a phenomenal record
laat seaaon. It played ten games, winning
every contest and Its goal was never
crossed. Captain Thomas will lead the
team again this year. McGulckin, the
crack tenter, will hold down that position.
Yousem and Coran are two promising can
didates for left guard. Each man weighs
about 180 pounda and la fast on his feet.
Emerson, one of laat year's champs, will
be found in the same old place. Right
Guard Shestak will play left tackle, and as
his playing laat year bordered upon the
sensational, no doubt he will be as good If
not better this season. Whlnnery, who
last year was the star' tackle for tha
Omaha High school team, will play the
same position thla year for the Dletsec.
Smith, Coady, Jenaen and Spellman are
rich material for ends; all . four men ar
faat on their feet and good tacklera. Smith
and Ccady were the last year's ends and
In all probability they will not be beat out
of their positions, which, as a matter of
fact, will be a hard proposition for any
candidate to accomplish. Spellmnnv who
played with the Dieti tram In 1908, will try
for. end or quarterback. Thomas played a
great game at quarter last year and, aa he
la In better form thla season, It la expected
that he will develop Into a phenom thla
year. He passes the ball prettily and Is
faat cn returning punta. Mnran, who
