Herrnstein has been coaching his
braves ever since the Kansas game
with the one idea of defeating Ne
braska- The old Michigan player
mean to drag Nebraska's colors in the
dust of defeat for the third time this
season, and by Saturday every Haskell
player will be so thoroughly primed
for Nebraska that the Indians should
play a remarkable game
Aside from the decided need of a
game to put the aborigines in the very
pink of condition, there will be moth
fit as a fiddle" The Indians are a
robust bunch and are an example of
their native manhood with all of its
endurance and wary passions, which
in a football game mean inestimable
determination. Without doubt Has
kell now has by far the strongest
eleven that ever donned the Haskell
moleSkins, and a coach would hardly
ask that his men be more free from
physical injuries or disabilities.
The work Wednesday showed that
the men have a greater desire to WIN
the Nebraska contest than they have
ever had before. In the lineup were
seen the regular men-"Stub Felix at
center; Oliver. left guard; Warren,
right guard; Emil Houser, left tackle;
Bull Dubois, right tackle; Captain
Guyon, left end; Pete Houser, right
end; La Mott and Moore, quarter; Pete
McCay. left half; Archiquette, right
half. and Porter was at full. The men
all seemed perfectly familiar with the
signals and got off like clockwork,
which, aided by the Indian speed, made
a pretty picture of gridiron drilling. In
the scrimmage the regulars tore
through the scrubs at will and got ex-
ends and through the line. In puntlng
HouSer was ever in evidence with his
well trained leg and his booting of the
pigskin is usually a feature of Has
kells games.
The bear stories sent out from
Booths headquarters are considered
here part of the Cornhusker tactics
and an indication of a hard game ac-
cording to Booths expectations. One
of the Haskell enthusiasts said today
that one noticeable feature of the re
ports from Lincoln was the fact that
when a hard game was in sight as a
rule hard luck stories were abundant.
but when any easy game is scheduled
the tone of the Cornhusker reports is
entirely different. But little credit here
is given the report that Captain Bene-
dict will be out of the game, and the
report that Westover and Ringer would
be added to the Nebraska team has
caused only comment with a most
noticeable tone of indifference, and the
expression by several of the Haskell
leaders is, II hope they will get in
Haskell now expects to win, or at
least show Nebraska one of the hardest
gridiron propositions that Booth has
guided his followers against this sea-
son. The special train bearing the team
and crowd will leave here Saturday
morning and return Saturday night
about midnight. Today in talking
about the game Coach Herrnstein said:
Haskell will be in good form for the
game. and there is no reason in the
world why we shouldn't give Nebraska
one of the merriest chases that the
Cornhuskers have had this season. I
am led more and more to believe that
victory will favor Haskell since saw
Nebraska-Iowa game last Saturday. 1t
is certain that Nebraska didn't hardly
play in Haskell's class then. I don't
give much credit to the stories from
Lincoln to the effect that Benedict will
be out of the game. Neither. do I have
the. least fear for WestoveF and Ringer.
Let Booth put them in; there viii most
assuredly be no objections raised by
