COACHES FLOCK TO
INSTRUCT VARSITY
Former Football Stars Come
Gut to Help Dr.. Williams
with Team

The varsity was sent through some
snappy practice for nearly two hours yes
terday afternoon under the watchful eyes
of several coaches who came out to as
sist DR. Williams in putting the men
through their PAGES. The weather was
ideal for fast work and the coaches took
advantage of the condition to get good
days work out of their pupils
"Pudge" Heff1ednger, Willis Walker,
Dobie, Sig Harris and Jimmy Irsfleld
gave individual instruction wherever 1t
was needed and the men toiled with good
will under their teachers. 'Pudge gave
the line men ideas Of position and re-
mained over them during the practice TO
see that they carried them into erect
At times the line has been inclined to
hold itself high when playing against
lighter teams and the defect did not show
itself as the offenders were big and strong
enough to hurl back their adyersafies un-
der any condition. Now that the big end
of the season has arrived when they Will
meet men just as good as they, or close
enough to their form to be interesting
every little trick of the trade will count.
Sig Harris arrival on the field was
signal for a demonstrate on the part or
the football teams and the former quar-
terback was given a testimonial buffeting
and tossing in the air as an evidence OF
their gladness TO see him. Burdick was
out hard at work and showed signs OF
rapidly rounding into condition. Luce is
playing a better game every day. All
along he has been one OF the most con
sistent and conscientious workers on the
team and last years star is going TO be
obliged to work long and hard to beat him.
Vita is playing a hard game and IS COM
ing more and more into prominence every
siderable vigor and altogether appears to
be a fcomer" Brush ripped things up
generally yesterday. as the going was ap-
parently just to his liking. All in all the
coaches and will be repeated.
With the approach of the Nebraska
game with GfinneH intervening, the latter
team is receiving but slight consideration
The game viii be played tomorrow after
noon and as soon as it is over the varsity
viii settle down to meet Coach Booth 6
CornhuSkers-
There is little doubt in the minds of
the students of the university as to the
outcome of the Nebraska game Nearly
everybody is convinced that the Gophers
Will win by a comfortable margin There
are a few who consider it possible for Ne
braSl1a to score on Minnesota, but they
are neither plentiful nor encumbered with
any great amount of coin Of the realm
to emphasize thefr remarks.
On the betting boards in Minneapolis
there is not a single bet to be found
which looks to Minnesota'S s aefeat or Their
being scored on. There is even money
that Minnesota will score Is and II points
on the visitors, and there isn't anything
like a multitude waiting around to get
q piece of the same.
The followers of the Nebraska team
are still cheerful despite the sudden loss
of Wilson, and they are now beginning
to tell each other that 1t didn't really
matter, as Wilson could hardly have been
in shape to play against Minnesota. Coach
Booth, as is the manner of his profess
sion, still shakes his head sadly, and while
saying nothing indicates by his woefal
looks that he fears the worst in abun-
dance. Efforts have been made to create
a suspicion in the minds of the Nebraska

Irregularities. but they are evidently above
harboring suspicious.
