LINCOLN, Nov. 22.-(special.)-Coach
king" Cole returned from Minneapolis
this morning, where he witnessed the Car
isle Minnesota game on Northrup field
yesterday. He believes Nebraska will stand
q good chance of beating the Indians when
they come TO Lincoln next week.
Minnesota played a brilliant game eX-
planned the Nebraska coach at the training
table this afternoon. For the first time
since the new rules we're adopted three
years ago the Gophers used the open style
of game with good effect. hTefo rward
pass was worked often by the Gophers and
always for good gains. The back field OF
the Gophers was in fine form and hit the
Indian line hard. ME Carlisle ends were
kept busy stopping the fast Minnesota hair
backs.
The Indians, of course, were badly
handicapped on account of having several
crippled players. Balenti and Captain
warseka were not in the game and several
Of the other players were not able to enter
the contest. The Indians played samely'
but the new men who went into the game
were not able to do the work that the
veterans could have done.
p the time the Indi, rs get here next
week they will probably be in good condi-

giving day, they will nave no trouble in
winning, and | think that a bunch OF sub
stitutes will be able to take care OF the
Mound City warriors for them. This will
give them a good chance 10 get their cap
tain and other regulars into condition for
Nebraska. a
"Balenti. who has done such wonderful
place kicking for them this season. will
be in shape. and Nebraska will have TO
play great ball in order to keep him from
making one or two field goals"
Practice for Wabash Game.
Coach Cole announced that practice for
the Wabash game would start tomorrow at
2:N o'clock. There are only three days in
which to prepare for the Little Giants and
king Cole intends to work his men every
minute that he possibly can. So the prac-
tice will start at 2:3O in the afternoon and
continue until darkness sets in.
Since the showing Wabash made against
De Pauw Friday, Nebraska has lost a
great deal OF the confidence it had about
winning the game Thanksgiving. The Lit
tie Giants defeated De Paw II to 0 in a
hard fought game. De Paw outweighed
Wabash just about as Nebraska will, and
according to dope. ought to have won. The
Wabash players, however, used the for
ward pass and other open style plays with
such good effect that they won easily.
They played a wonderful game on the de-
Tense and several times when their goal
was threatened held back the heavy De
Paw players.
Coach Cole fears that unless HIS
~"peek-a-boo" and other open work plays
work successful that the Crawfordville
men will be able to repeat the trick per-
formed against Depauw. So this week
practically all of his practice time will
be confined to coaching his pupils TO
use the open plays with success.
He says he has two new forms of the
forward pass which will be given TO the
Cornhuskers this week. He believes thai
with Beltzer passing the ball these new
plays can be worked. Beltzer is In good
form now and ought to be able TO dc
some brilliant work against a light team
like Wabash.
