LINCOLN. Nov. 2S.-The final prepara-
lions of the Nebraska COruhuskcrs for the
last act OF the foot ball drama of 1915 have
been the antithesis Of strcnuosity, FOR the
pupils OF Coach Foster. in getting ready
for the Thanksgiving Day bout with Gin
cinnad university, have mostly gone
through the motions Of primping for pink
lea. The practice has been just as light
as Foster could figure how 10 make it. To
begin with, the common conception in Nc
brasko circles OF the Cincinnati aggregation
is that the Coruhuskers are going TO play
rings around the visitors and anything less
than q 20-to-O score In NebrasSa's favor
will prove a distinct disappointment to the
plOtegcs of Foster and their supporters.
The close fight tbe Cincinnati eleven gave
the Carlisle Indians last Saturday threw
some thing Of scare into the Nebra ska
camp, but it has developed that the Gin
ciunau management raked the country with
a fine tooth comb and summoned veteran
stars from e half dozen institutions to shove
into their lineup against the vauntcd red
men. Even with this all-star aggregation,
the Carlisle braves walloped Cincinnati Is
70 Q, and. therefore, it is difficult to figure
where Cincinnati has a chance to win the
turkey day game with only legitimate stu
dents in the lineup.
