years regulars to fill nine positions on the
team this season, and three other IN
men Of 1907, besides a great quantity of
eligible new material TO draw from for
the two remaining places. The way the
lineup had been planned was center, Col
Inns; right guard, Frum; right tackle, Chal-
oupka: right end. Johnson; left guard,
Ewing: left tackle. vacant; left end, Cap
tain Harvey; quarter. Cooke; right half,
Minor; left half. vacant; fullback. Kroger.
These men all played good foot ball last
year and their return to the game this fall
would assure Nebraska another winning
team. for there are many candidates who
can ill the two vacant positions, left tackle
and loft half. very satisfactorily. The talk
about losing Collins and Cooke upset all
plans and put the athletic mentors to
specializing "a to how TO fiji their places
IN case tho two Cornhuskers fail to come
back.
Collins at center and Cooke at quarter,
were two Of the strong points Of the team
last fall. Collins, although 1t was his first
year on the team, played all of his op-
ponents TO a standstill. and great things
were expected Of him this season. Cookies
running ability and his agile workNon the
offense made him one Of the best quarters
IN the west and won him a place on the
All Missouri valley eleven. There are sew
eral Cornhusker foot ball aspirants who
could AXE the places Of these two players,
but they hardly would be able to fiji them
as satisfactorily this season as the two
veterans would. To try for Collins posi-
ton AZ center in case he does not return
to school there would be Perrin, a 1907
IN" man. who was a substitute for that
position last year and who played tackle

In the absence OF Cooke. Bentley, a sub
stituta At quarter last season who has been
with the squad at Lead this summer, would
stand a good chance OF being chosen to fiji
the vacant position. Minor could be shifted
to quarter and his place at right half filled
by Hart, another IN" mar of last season.

Minors former position and Beitzer, who
won his initial In the Minnesota game last
season, could be stationed az the captains
place at left end. How well the changes
would work out is eonjectaral II is certain

would be a hard blow to Nebraska this fall
