ers 500 strong, are making ready to take
the trip to Minneapolis October II to
cheer for the CornhuslSers when their
favorites line up against the Gophers.
Practice on the campus this week has
been especially encouraging. The men
are still a bit sore from their grueling
experience of last Saturday against the
heavy Kirksville, Mo-, Osteopaths. but
they are rounding to satisfactorily.
The only stroke of bad luck was the in
jury sustained by Guard Ringer, who
threw out his knee in practice last week
and which has not yet recovered. Ring
er expects to be back into the scrim-
images next week in time to take the
trip to Minnesota
To offset this loss there have been
material gains to the playing squad. the
most important accessionS being Geo.
Shedd, the old fullback of '97, and the
mighty Pillsbury fullback last year,
who achieved the sole distinction of all
the gridiron warriors of the west of
scoring two touchdowns against the
champion Gophers last year. Pillsbury
appeared for practice yesterday for the
first time. He is still soft and will not
be permitted by Coach Booth to get
into any of the scrimmages until next
week, just in time to join the squad
that lines up against Minnesota pill
and Shedd the other. Trained down,
each win weigh over 100 pounds. A pos
sible combination will be Shedd and
Kingsbury at halfback and Pillsbury
at full. The average weight of this trio
would be over $50 pounds, giving Me-
braska one of the heaviest back fields
in the west. Bender and Crandall, two
very consistent halls and efficient
ground gamers, as was demonstrated
last Thanksgiving against Minnesota,
could be called in at any moment in
case of injury to the big three"
In the line Nebraska will not average
over 40 pounds. 1t is a stronger line,
however, than the one Nebraska pre-
scented last year, and buttressed by
such a giant back field it ought to
stand considerable pounding by the gil
ant Gophers and all other opponents
