14INCO1]N, NED, (GI. 0.-tSpecidf!V--
AS the date for the big Nebraska Min
nesota football game approaches the
great spirit of confidence expressed by
the, .Cornhuskers carrier in the season
is gradually melting away. There is a
retaliation that there will something
doing when eight of Tie sturdy 90
pliers of last year, assisted by thee
such promising men as reports Indicate
are defeated in their own bailiwick. 1t
means that there must be hard work,
and lots of it, during the next week.
.'a There have been two strong aauItions
and one sad loss to the team during the
past week, and it is doubtful If the
two acquisitions can overbalance the
loss. Ringer, the 190-pound veteran left
guard had knee thrown out in scfinh-
mage with the scrubs, and it is feared
he cannot go into the game again this
season. This will necessitate a general
transposition and shaking up of the
team-a dangerous bit of work such "a
short time before so big a game
Maloney, a second-year man, y was
tried at the position against the Oste-
opaths at Kirksville, Mo-, last Saturday
and while he did better an expected,
| is not considered the one to handle
Mueller, of Minnesota. 1t is the present
plan to pull Stringer, the 2Vv-pound left
tackle, into guard, and push Kingsbary
up from the back field to left tackle.
Stringers position will then be a new
one to him, as he played end two sea-
sons before and has been playing tackle
so far this year. Left tackle will De
"a new position for Kingsbury, but he
has played right tackle two seasons on
the teams of 1898 and 1899
EX-Capt. Shedd, of the ever victorious
team of 1897. will take Kingsburys place
at full. Shedd mas not been in a suit
for three years and only began training
Monday of this week. He is a man
of good habits, however, an all-round
athlete and is always in fairly good
condition. He is supplementing IS grid
iron practice each evening with work
out in &c gymnasium and expects to be
in condition to play his usual game by
Oct. u He is an old-time favorite, IS
heavy hard line hitter, and under
stands every detail of the game.
For the. first time this season Pillsbury
was out in uniform Wednesday evening
of this week. He strips at 1913, but is not
in good condition. 1t is doubtful if he
will be more than substitute in the
game against Minnesota. The GopherS
were overjoyed when the report reached
them that Pillsbury would be out of the
game this year. He is remembered as
the big fullback of last season who tore
through their giant line for both touch
downs scored by Nebraska, a feat per-
OAiA1Ceh Wy III OllCI lSdIAA VI 1Hclu last
year.
While the players are in far better con-
dition than at a corresponding period or
any previous season. they are far from
being in their Lest form. In many re-
spects the team work is ragged and Jag
ged There are entirely too many
. fumbles, and too much confusion of sig
nails In two features of the game there
has been a marked improvement, how
ever, over last season. One is in the
work of the ends, and the other the punt
ing of Stringer and Bender. There has
not been a single gain worthy of men
ton around either of Nebraskas ends
this season In last Thanksgiving S game
Knowlton gained forty yards on every
+ exchange of punts. If he is not 'outclass-
aed this year it will be because Nebraska
punters cannot do in a hard game what
they can in practice.
Such interest in football is, being
manifested in Lincoln was never before
seen. 1t is thought that no less than
500 will go from this city alone, while
from all portions of the state comes the
announcement of admirers and friends
! of the team and individual players who
will make the journey to Minneapolis,
Poet. II. A special train for rooters has
been arranged over the Rock Island and
