substitutes are equally promising in every
particular. Tobin, Briggs and Hubbard are
three crack heavyweights who could play
the first team positions in the middle Of the
line at any time. Eager and Follmer can
90 on end. and Marsh and Englehardt. two
Omaha boys, and simodynes OF Wshoo. are
halfbacks in whom much confidence IL
placed. Benedict. who has been playing
quarterback so far. will be FIRST substitute
to Thorpe. and is a good man. though a
little slow and young yet. He Is but a
freshman, and will beyond a doubt be FIRST
quarterback in 1903 as Thorpe can play but
this season.
So once again everything is bright at
Lincoln, aud every possible effort is being
made to get all out OF the team that is in
the men. To accomplish this nothing is
needed more than a strong scrub eleven,
and no one realizes this more than Coach
Booth. Therefore has he put Ralph Drain,
last seasons quarterback. in constant
charge Of the second eleven. and with his
usual hustle and capacity for direction
Drain has worked up a squad that makes
the leaders hustle for everything they get.
Four or Ave Of the men on II are almost
as good as their first team opponents, and
some beautiful play has resulted on the
gridiron at the school the past week. With
Benedict and Follmer added to the second
team this week the scrubs will be a hotter
proposition than ever. &"
Next to a hot practice opponent a foot
ball team needs good coaching and lots of
it, and there Nebraska is better on this
year than ever before. There are two
skilled Princeton men to handle the first
team, Booth and Palmer, and they cover
the ground thoroughly. In years past one
coach has handled both teams. Now Drain
tends to the scrubs exclusively, and the
two paid coaches devote their time to the
championship material. Meanwhile Captain
westsver pays especial attention to the mid
linesmen, and ex-Csptain George shedd is
boosting the backs.
The Iowa State college foot ball team has
blossomed out unusually we'll this season
and has already offered itself as victim for
the Gophers Of the north. The boys from
Ames played at Minneapolis yesterday.
Coach Ristine is having unexpected success
with the agriculturists and finds material
for a fairly heavy team, into which he
