NEBRASKA is SCARED.
Fears Result of Meeting With Iowa
Farmers Saturday.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 31.-Saturday's
game with Colorado was not calcula-
ted to instill Coach Coles cornhuskers
with a surfeit Of confidence. Instead
it has thrown a genuine scare into the
Nebraska camp. the general verdict be-
ing that the cornhuSkerS will have to
display better form against Ames Sat
urcay than they did against the noun
taineers or suffer a second defeat on
their own grounds at the hands of the
Iowa farmers.
Nebraska showed plainly the effects
of the hard game against Minnesota.
Save for a squirt in the second half,
when the cornhuskers carried the ball
so yards for a touchdown on straight
line attacks, their work showed only
reminders of the snap and power it had
possessed before they emerged from
the game with the gophers.
In the first half of the Colorado game,
though scoring II points against their
opponents, they were unable to make
first down a single time. Better sue
cess attended their efforts in the second

BENNIE OWENS BACK Al WORK.
Pluclxy Little Coach Minus an Arm
Takes Charge of Sooners.

Norman, Okla. Oct. S1.-After
two weeks of illness. caused by the
amputation Of his right arm, Bonnie
Owens, the coach of the Oklahoma
university football team, appeared on
the gridiron with the same old smile
on his face, and, Though weakened
considerable, he followed the team up
and down the field, coaching them
same as ever.
The appearance of Coach Owens on
the field caused the varsity to hit a
lively gait. and it was the best prac-
tice had on Boyd field this fall The
popular little coach was surrounded
by scores of students and friends who
had not seen him for the past two
weeks, and everywhere Bonnie would
go the crowd would follow, everyone
seeking to hear what he had to say.
He was exceedingly happy after the
unfortunate accident and greeted
everyone with a smile and glad hand
shake-with his left hand, however.
at am very well satisfied with the
result of the Kansas game, the boys
did we'll under the circumstances"
Coach Owens said. "I suppose our
boys were simply outclassed. but that
is of the past. We must think of the
future. I will be with the team every
day from now on, and the thing for
us to do is to get busy and beat the
Texas Longhorns three weeks hence.
We can do it. so get down to work.

The coach found 1t very fncon-

George White, WashbuTn's Fast Half
back, Who Reported for Prac-
tice Last Night.

A good tryout resulted and Coach
Weede is very much satisfied with the
work Of his men Nothing but signal
are getting their signals through their
heads and are beginning to execute
their new formations with skill ana
speed. If the men can do as we'll on
the field during the game as they did
in the signal practice last night, they
ought to win.
A new cripple was added to the list
of the Washburn team YESTERDAY.
Eddie Brown, the alI-Missouri valley
center of last season who has been
bothered considerably this season with
a strained knee, wrenched his knee
quite severely by stepping in hole
yesterday in the practice. His knee
will be sore for some time, but he Is
too valuable a man to lose and Will
have to start the game anyway
The other men on the team VINO
have been on the injured list were all
out in suits last night, some of them
for the first time in couple or weeks
The return of Haughey and Robb was
hailed as an especially favorable omen.
Both of the crack ends played their
regular positions in the signal work
last night and although they were
both somewhat lame, they played a
night after practice was much more
hopeful than he had been for several
days and said that he thought that both
of the men would be able to play Sat
would be in shape to- start the game
With Haughey and Robb on the ends
Kansas will meet the best pair of ends
in the west outside of the Big Nine.
Haughey will undoubtedly play the
whole game through, but Robb is in
much poorer condition than Haughey,
and may not be able to play more than
q few minutes.
Another feature which gladdened tn e
hearts of the Washburn players last
night was the appearance of George
White in a uniform. The crack little
halfback of last seasons team has not
been in a suit since he was injured in
the Haskell game In the practice last
night he took Hopes position at quar-
terback and played this position better
than he has at any previous time this
season. White will be saved for this
game and should anything happen to
Hope, White will go in at quarter.
One of the weak spots in the Wash
burn team Is in the kicking depart
ment. This has been partially rem
edied by the work of the team this
week. Coach Weede has been work
ing all the available material he has
on hand and has been trying to de-
velop a good kicker. Smiley, Hope
and Robb have been drop kicking and
have shown up in fair shape. Robb
showed UP well as a drop kicker Last
season but he has been unable to do

Neosho Farmers, Meeting.

Erie. Kan. Oct. 31.-The farmers
of this county have closed a success
full and interesting two days session
of the Neosho County Farmers Instf-

weather every part of the county was

tural college. One of the best feat

anything in this line so far this season
on account of his injuries. Smiley
has been showing UP especially strong
as a drop kicker and it is not unlikely
that should he have a chance to go in
at half or end, either position of
which he plays we'll, he will be given
a chance to boot the ball over should
the Washburn team get near enough
to the goal. Hope and Williams have
been practfcing place kicking and
both have been showing signs of i'm
provement. Williams will probably be
used in the place kicking during the
game and the punting will be dele
gated to Millice whose trusty left toe

than the final score indicated.
Nebraska used only two substitutes
during the contest and emerged from
the struggle in fairly good condition.
It is apparent, however, that the coach
es viii have to contend with strong pos
sibilities of a slump, several of the men
having shown suspicious signs of stale
ness in Saturdays game. AT the con-
clusion of the contest Coach Cole gave
out no interview concerning it's result,
save to announce that he would ex-
pect better work against Ames or wit
ness certain defeat.
The most encouraging feature of the
game was again Weller's kicking, his
first goal from the field being a drop
kick at a difficult angle from the As
yard line. The toe work of the Ne
braska captain is expected to prove
one of Nebraska's surest goal defend
ers as well as one of the likeliest scor-
ing possibilities against the Aggies.

Fireman Is Rescued Alive From De-

New York, Jan. S.--John S. Seufert,
the fireman who was rescued from a
burned paper warehouse in Roosevelt
street at 1:45 a. m. today where he
had been imprisoned in the debris for
nearly 80 hours, IS at the Hudson

early today. There is but little hope
that he escaped death, as did Seufert
renewed vigor to reach his body on
the slim chance that he may yet be
alive.
Seufert today was able to give a
brief account of his experience. He
said:

came an awful crash and 1T was fol-
lowed by three others. 1t was the roof

retained my senses all the time. The
bales saved me. They made a cushion
for me. The timbers formed above
me, and penned me in so I could not
remove. One sensation was that
thought 1 had been struck by light
ming. The water poured in on me but
was glad of that because I knew
would not be burned to death.
Il shouted all the time. I could
hear people talking but they could not
hear me. I got the idea after a while
that they knew I was there and did
not want to rescue me- I kept on
shouting and it seemed an awful long
time before any one answered me, I
pounded on the beam near me and I
finally heard voice calling to me.
Then I knew 1 was safe"
Seufert's young wife, who had
haunted the ruins from midnight Sun
day, few hours after her husband
was believed to have met death, Is
overjoyed at her husbands marvellous
rescue. She insisted on going to the
hospital with him and says she will
remain near him until he is able to go
to his home.
