NEBRASKA TO BOULDER.
Football Team Ready for Fight With
Colorado varsity.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. s.-Booth's Corn
huskers have gone to Colorado for their
first real football clash of the season.
Today at Boulder they will be opposed
by Crops Mountaineers, representing
Colorado university. Booth makes no
concealment of his belief that the Ne
braska back field, which includes Bene-
dict and Bender, two genuine stars, is
better than Colorado's, and if the Corn
huskers' line is able to hold it's own,
then the result should be in Nebraska s
favor.
Eighteen players were taken on the
trip to the west, and Booth will prob
ably place his men as follows: Mills,
center; Borg and Barta, guards; Cotton
and Cy Mason, tackles; Robinson and
johnson, ends; Benedict, quarter; Ben
der, right half; Fenlon, left half; Glenn
Mason, fullback. Substitutes, Barwick,
etandeven, Speer, Richardson. Marsh,
Eager and Weller. Chiefly because of
the extreme avoirdupois OF Mills, the
Nebraska line will average 100 pounds.
but this is scarcely fair criterion, and
q figure ten pounds less would probably
come nearer measuring the real
strength of the Nebraska line. 1t is
Booths belief that Nebraska will out
weigh Colorado, and the clash will
therefore resolve itself into a question
of tactics and physical condition.

Old Friends Meet.

Hugh Mccain was a soldier in the
confederate army. He came to Kansas
some thirty years ago and settled on
a farm in junction township, southeast
of Overlook, where he has since re-
sided. Henderson Reed was soldier
in the union army, and for the last
northeast of Overlook. The two men
met in town last Saturday and fell into
conversation, but neither knew the
others name. Finally Reed abruptly
said: "You were my prisoner once!"
The startled Mccain looked at Reed
awhile, and then called him by name.
It seems that the chances of war had
made Mccain a prisoner to Reed dur
ing the war of the rebellion, ana the
two became friendly then, but had not
met since that time. They had lived
but a few miles apart for fifteen years
without suspecting the acquaintance
OF course they had very friendly
chat over old times.-Burlinga

has lost none of his old speed and still
has his old punch Yesterday, while
boxing with Cain, he landed a stiff left

Burdick also donned the mitts with
Terry. 1t looked like the real thing.
Both went at it hammer and tongs
for three rounds, and at the finish
Burdick's nose was bit swollen and
his eye black. Burdick is a rough lit

man to box with Terry. He feels Ter

The usual road work in the mornings
and the indoor work in the afternoon
is doing Terry a world of good. and I
feel sure in saying that he will sur
prise his friends when they see him
mix it with Hanlon. The Frisco boy
is, without doubt, the best six-round
fighter in the country, and has proved
this in all his battles, especially with
Young .Corbett, Battling Nelson and
Bonnie Yanger, whom he clearly best

TALKS OF SHIFTING PLAY.
Football Coach Discusses Gridiron
Strategy of the Present Day.

Chicago, Oct. S.-"The shifting
PLAYS look good to me- said football
coach today. 1.-THE reasons are many.
Football strategy for years has de-
manded that two men-the end and
the tackle-be allotted the task OF
caring for the other tackle on plays
sent in that direction. inside or outside
of tackle on cross or straight bucks or
end runs. Occasionally an end slips
off and does some other task, but as a
rule it takes two men to turn the cor
ner and get the other tackle boxed
Now. assuming that this tackle is
called over on a shift play, the end
is still a husky end against husky
tackle. So the weakening there Is not
fatal, even should play be sent on
that side for fake after the tackle
ing over has merely to move up in the
line and without any great commo-
ton be in position to attack a certain
point. This brings preponderance or
material to attack the opposing side.
The speed with which this move is fol-
lowed by the play creates its strength.
The opponents are just that many sec
onds shifting over to meet H. Ihey
their best defensively either, as to po-
sitions of forwards or of the secondary
defense. -
open for fakes or runs made on the
other side from where the play is ex-
pected. The same is true if guard
is shifted or a guard and tackle. The
quick shift looks strong If scientifically
deyeloped. It will be remembered
that williams wing shifts when Min
nesota played here were more OF the
end-running type. In this do not
believe the play is as successful as the
tackle smashing or mass on tackle fol-
lowing a shift or with a hurdler sent
in. But it takes tremendous amount
of work to drill the shift in so that 1T
amounts to anything And the play
must be accompanied by a united de-
termination on the part of all particle
pants to gain"
