4 THE OMAHA SUNDAY REE: AUGUST 13. 1911. STEIHM HAS ELEYEN "H" MEN New Nebraska Coach to Hare Some : Old Material on Gridiron. MAXES PBOSPECrS LOOK GOOD VoKt'i Wdltrrtntt l Cross the Mis nrl Rler for th First Tim la Me Career and There la Orrat Interest la ame. LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 12. Manager Earl O. Eager of the lnlverslty of Nebraska athletic teems has been taking Inventory of the foot hall good at the Cornhufker arhoola and finds that the gridiron ma terial for this fall Is the most promising lot that has greeted any coach here In re cent year. There will be eleven letter men on the squad, If all those who have written the manager arrive at school In Beptember. Word has come from every one of the players to the effect that the opening of the season would see them ready to don their togs under the Instruction of the new tuach, "Jumbo" Stelhm, a former Wiscon sin player. From the present outlook. Nebraska should have one of the best elevens In Its hlHtory. It is well that auch Is the ease, "too. for the 1911 band will play a schedule of games unlike any that a Cornhusker eleven ever went through. There are six soculied big games on the bookings for the Cornhuckers. Two of these are with teams that struggled for the western cham pionship last fall Michigan and Minne sota. The other major games are with Kansas, one of the strongest elevens In the Missouri valley; Ames, Missouri and the Kansiia Agglea. To go through thla sched ule without a defeat Is the aim of the Cornhuskers this fall. But how to defeat Minnesota and Michigan la the problem which the new coach will have to solve. Ills material will be of the caliber that should give him an even break with Coach Williams and Coach Tost If he has the ability to get from hla men what they are capable of giving the chances are that Ne braska will make an excellent shewing against the two big western elevena. Michigan comes to Lincoln for a game on the final date of the foot ball season. This Is the first time a 'Wolverine eleven has come west of the Missouri river, and It means much for. the iumi In thla sec tion of the country. Already alumni of the two schools are preparing to send large delegations to the game. tome Older Men. Among the men who are considered of flrst-clafla varsity material and who wilt he on hand at the opening of the present sea son are ghonka. captain and tackle; Lof gien, end; Elliott, guard; Harmon, guard; Hornberger, center; Chauner, end; Warner, quarter; Owen Frank, halfback; B. Frank, halfback; Potter, quarter; Outburlet, end; Stunner, guard or tackle; Fret tag, end; Anderson, backfleld; Purdy, halfback; D. Jluenell, end. ' Of these players Purdy la a new man, who was on the freshman eleven laat autumn. He halls from Beatrice, Neb., w here 'he was a sensational backfleld man for three years and . where , he gained a reputation of being one of the best high school players in the state. .He promises to be one of the fastest and strongest men on the Cornhusker squad. Captain Shonka last season was played at tackle, and there did himself ao well as to be placed on all selections of the Mis souri valley elevens and to be given a place on one selection for an all-western team. He la undoubtedly one of the strongest players In the valley, and gives promise of doing wonderful work for the Cornhuskers thla fall. . ' . . Good Back Field. In the backfleld the Cornhuskers will have a superabundance of material. With Purdy, Potter, Warner, the two Franks, Anderson and two or three other men who have not signified their Intention of return ing, but who are expected to come back, the new coach will have all the material that he could desire for making a strong back field. Some of these men are heavy and fast and some are of the pony type, giving him extraordinary speed in those cases in which that asset is very desirable. Potter and Warner are two of. the fastest players the Cornhuskers have had in recent years. Warner ran the team at quarter for a while last year. He. can play that posi tion well, or he is equally good at end. Potter should have played with the Ne braskana laat fall, but sickness the winter before kept him out of school and made him Ineligible for competition In 1910. He Is looked upon as one of the real stars for this autumn. The two Franks Played sen sational ball last fall. The older of the two brothers. Owen, was a star In several of the games. His power to duck and dodge and thus escape . lacklera caused him to make several long runs for big gaina In two or three of last fall' big . games. He will be one of the men whom the new coach will train to carry the ball In tbe big games thla season. Mae Bhoailel Be Strong. In the line the material will be good. Shonka, who last fall played tackle because 'of the presence of Collins, a very good player, will take his old position in the center. - Hornberger. who could hold down the center Job very well, will be stationed at guard. Hornberger scintillated in sev eral of the games last season. His weight of more than 200 pounds and his agility make him a valuable player. Elliott and Harmon, two other "N" men who were stars last tall, will hold down either guard or tackle positions. Outburlet and Stur mer are other men who look like good line material. At end the coach may play either l.ofgren. Russell. E. Frank or Warner. The material is so extensive that the coach will have two or more excellent players for every position, and he should have no trou ble In developing an eleven that will make a cracking good showing in the early games of the season, improving ranldlv with the approach of the harder games so that the big teams will find the competition of the Cornhuukers all that thev care to meet and try to handle. In planning the cawjialgn of this fall the coach will drive his men so that they will come Into shape for a hard game by Oc tober II. the date ofthe annual struggle with Minnesota. The aim of the coach and players will be to humble the Gophers and lepeat the victory that was achieved on Northrup field In the fall o 1901, when Coach Booth and -hla men took the gam by a to score. According to present arrangements the practice aeason will be started about Sep tember 30. The new r.nach will arrive at the scene of his activities the first week In September, his contract beginning with the opening day of that month. During the summer, Nebraska field has been sodded and how Is In perfect con dition for the tumbling and grueling of the gridiron players. A new grandstand will be In course of construction within a few days. It will be on the north side of the field, forming an addition to the present stands and extending 120 feet along the aide of the field. It will be covered and will be twenty rows high. Its capacity wll be 10,0(0. The bleachers will be enlarged In order to accommodate the crowds that ars expected te com for the contest with th University of Michigan on November 26.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11. -A great alga of the universal spread of athletics la the fact that' the Chinese are going to have a team at the Olympic games at Stockholm next year. Very little Information can be gathered about the siae of the team er the Individual ability of the members, only the official announcement from Hongkong that a team would , be sent .and that China wanted to have a member on the Interna tional Olympic committee In future. This would mean that the Chinese are la the game to stay and will have representa tives at all the Olympics to come as well as a voice in the executive department. It may sound odd to most people that the Chinese, the last people in the world to adopt modern habits, should be hit with the athtletlc fad. but it seems that matters have been shaping themselves that way for some time. From year to year Chinese students who have had their education In America and England have taken home with them the athletlo idea and have been telling their countrymen of the wonderful benefits of the sport. Gradually, the habit grew oo the natives and, helped out by the universities and those who had seen com petitions abroad the track and field events btgau tu get popular. At Caulou and sev eral other of the large cities little clubs have sprung up and here and there meets are of frequent occurrence. . To Judge by some photographs of these meetings they were rather crude, but on the whole as good as the early attempts of other nations - when they first took on athletics. Then It Is unknown what China may develop with Its wonderful popula tion. It Is Just as likely to develop cham pions as Finland or even Germany. A few years ago anybody who. would say that In the near future a Finlander would cross to England and run away with the four-mile championship would be regarded as verging on lunacy, yet -a Finlander did this year and it is doubtful If he has an equal at the distance In the world today. In the Olympic gamea at Athens In 19(16 Germany did not win a solitary point, but there are men in the Kalserland now who are the peers of the best in the world. No country can boast of a better all around Jumper than Pasemann, and Rau . has done 10 seconds for the 100 meters and has beaten Ramadell. the American holder of the Eng lish 100 yards championship. It is yet unknown what emblem the Chinese will wear In competition, but more than likely it wlU be yellow with the dragoon displayed on the chest. mould next year's base ball team at tbe university through a system entirely ama teur. Walter Camp, Tale graduate ad visory coach, haa admitted that not only base ball, but probably the entire coaching system at Tale may be affected. GRADUATE COACH FOE TALI JVw Systesa Will Be Tried 1st Base Ball Dlvlalea NEW HAVEN, Coon., Aug. 11-Base ball will be the next sport at Tale to cpme under the graduate coaching system, ac cording to announcement by Tale athletlo advisers, and It ta said tfcat the action taken this year in connection with the crew will be followed by a movement to A. R. Haw ley Declines to Head Balloonists Owing to Pretiure of Bniineai Mitten He Will Not Take Part in the Kansas City Baces NEW YOR&, Aug. ll.-Alan R. Hawley has, owing to business engagements, been compelled to decline the offer to head the American team for the International bal loon race which will start at Kansas City on October 6. Mr. Hawley was the victor in the International race last year, and the Aero Club of America tendered him the leadership of the team this year, as a com pliment for bis brilliant success. At a meeting of the executive committee of the club the matter of the selection of the team was acted upon. At a previous meeting Lieutenant Frank Purdy Lahm, who was the winner In the national balloon race, was named as one member of the team. The declination of Mr. Hawley left twe places vacant, and those were filled by the naming of John Berry and William F. Asaman of St. Louis. Mr. Berry was the pilot. In the national race, of the Million Population Club, which was second, and Mr. Assman woa the pilot of the Miss Sofia, which was third. Lieutenant Lahm piloted the St. Louis IV. James H. Wade, Jr., of Cleveland, who piloted the Buckeye in the national race; Frank M. Jacobs, the Topeka II, and H. E. Honeywell, the Kansas City, were named as alternates for the international team. Thoae designated as members of the in ternational team must satisfy the club be fore Beptember 1 that they are equipped with a balloon of -rubberized cotton or silk and suitable accessories. Should any one fail in this respect, an alternate will be named, the alternates being required to sat isfy the club similarly before September 15. The gold medal of the club was awarded to Lieutenant Lahm for his victory In the national race.
