and others will have to be ignored.
The proposed lineup Of the alumni is &c
follows: ends, "Brl" johnson and Happy"
Little; tackles, 'Cy' Mason and John west
over; guards, Fred Hunter and Dean Rim
ger; center, Borg; quarter. Barwiek; halves.
Earl Eager and Ray Elliott; fuliback, Glenn

This would be the strongest team OF
alumni that Nebraska probably could get
together. There would be several former
stars in the lineup. johnson was one OF
the best ends Nebraska ever had, and even
now. without training, can play fast ball.
Berg. at center. was an all-western selec-
ton In 1906. John Westover. Glenn Mason.
Fred Hunter and Dean Ringer were the
strongest men on the team when playing

As the time for the game with Wabash
approaches there begins to be a little
speculation on what the outcome Of the
Thanksgiving day clash with the Little
Giants" will be. 1t has been expected
that the Cornhuskers would have an easy
time winning against the men from In
diana, but Coach Cole says that Nebraska
does not want to become over confident.
He says Wabash is much stronger than
anyone has thought. He believes the Corn
huskers will have just as hard a game on
Thanksgiving day as 1t had against Iowa.
Wabash is comparatively unknown in
the far west and the Nebraska students
have not learned much about the team this
fall. The school is located at Crawfords.
Vile, Ind. and its foot ball eleven at
tracted attention over the west last season
by defeating st. Louis by a score of IL to
10. The Little Giants as they are called,
won from the same st. Louis team that a
few weeks later humbled Nebraska by a
score of "a to o. This season the team has
lost but two games. One of these went to
st. Louis. the score being 4 to 0. St. Louis
made a drop kick in the latter part of the
second half that saved the game for
Coachems' Mound City warriors.
Other scores in games which it has played
this fall shows that Wabash is practically
as strong as last season. Coach Cole has
been warned from Indiana TO be prepared
for a hard game, and he Is not going to let
the Cornhuskers go into the contest on
Thanksgiving feeling that they have a
"cinch." He Will make their training for
this clash just as grueling as it was for
,Ames and Kansas. The Cornhuskers have
made such a good record so far this season
that the coach does not want to run any
risk OF spelling 1t by being unprepared
Tor Wabash. The rest of this week will
permit his getting some new plays ready
and by Thanksgiving Nebraska will have
made several additions to its already
large repertoire of plays.
