Kennedy's men o~utplayed the indians dur
ing these days.
On the defense the Jayhawkers broke
down the wall Of the Indians and scored
frequently, while on the offense the red
men were not able to DO any successful
work with the Nebraska plays. The for
ward pass and onside kick. which have
been used SO extensively by King Coles
pupils this fail. failed to gain when en-
pioyed by the Indians. This week other
Cornhusker plays which Coach Kennedy
saw the Cornhuskers work successfully at
Iowa City were given to the Kansas scrubs.
who at times played rings around the var
sity. This was what Kennedy expected,
however, and he will continue to have the
scrubs use these plays next week that the
regulars may study them more thoroughly.
Coach Kennedy had two Of his assistantA
watching the Nebraska-Ames game today,
and the new plays uncovered by Nebraska
in this game will also be given to the
scrubs to use this week. Kennedy has
seen SO many OF the Cornhusker plays this
fall that the Kansas rooters believe he
ought to be well prepared to meet Ne
braska next Saturday.
Cole IL Not Worried.
Coach Cole, however. has manifested no
concern about the spying OF the Kansas
coaches. Very few of the plays uncovered
10 far this year will be used Saturday
Despite the large number of new plays the
Nebraska coach has already worked out
he still has several more good ones which
he has been saving for Kansas. and he
thinks Kennedy's spying on the Nebraska
team will be OF little use to the Jayhawkers
next Saturday.

n ost confidence in the ability Of their
team to defeat Kansas. To them Kansas
has appeared to be a second class eleven
all year and they never have considered 1t
seriously this season. Injuries to the Corn
huskers they believe will be the only con-
tingency that can keep their team from
triumphing over the honorable rivals from
the Sunflower state. 1t is this that led
them to fear for their team in the game
with Ames today. II many Of the players
are laid up for very long from the in
iuries received today the team might enter
the Kansas game next Saturday greatly
weakened, and in that event, and that
event only, they think, the Jayhawkers
might sqeeze out a victory.
Coach Cole has outlined the program for
the work of the C~ornhuskers this week
and has announced that there will be no
letup in the strenuous training of the last
four weeks. Secret practice will be held
on three days at the state farm. scrim-
IMAGES will occur on probably only two Of
these. Most Of the time will be spent in
developing new plays suited to the at
tack and defense of the Jayhawkers.
Basket Ball Practice.
Basket ball practice is progressing nicely
and Director Clapp is well pleased with
the ante-season showing of the candidates
The practice has been held every afternoon
at 4 o'clock for the last two weeks. and
over forty men, the largest squad in the
history of the school, have reported reg.
ularly. The prospects are encouraging for
a strong team.
The schedule Of the ~Cornhuskers this sea-
son will contain more hard games than
last season. There will be six or seven
good games on the home floor. The two
most important ones will be with Mime
sofa on February IS and 10. These games
with the Gophers wero arranged by DR..
Clapp at a meeting of the conference rep
resentatives in Chicago last week. Besides
these two games Missouri. Kansas and
probably Iowa will be brought to Lincoln
for one or more games apiece.
The Cornhuskers will probably make two
trips, being. away on each of them five
days. One will be made into Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Iowa. and the other into
Missouri and Kansas. The southern trip
this season will include the greater NUM-.
Der of games. Missouri, Kansas, Washing
ton, Baker and the Kansas City Athletic
club probably being played.
The Missouri valley conference will take
up the question OF organizing a basket ball
league next Tuesday at a meeting to be
held in Kansas City at the Coates hotel.
At this meeting a set of rules and a sched-
ule for this season will be adopted.
Missouri, Washington. Kansas, Ames,
Iowa, Drake and Nebraska will have repre-
sentatives present. DR.. Clapp win be the
delegate from Nebraska.
C~rOsS-COuntry Team Run.
Nebraska will send a team to the western
conference cross-country run at Chicago
next Saturday. Chicago, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Illinois win have teams entered
in this run The course to be. run over at
Chicago is five miles long. Nebraska won
the race three times during the last four
years. Last fall by defeating Chicago and
Wisconsin, 1t became the permanent pos
SCISSOR Of the silver cup which had been
offered by A. G. spaulding.
The team which will represent Nebraska
next week was selected at a tryout held
Wednesday evening. The men composing
1t will be Bauman (captain), George. Gable,
Anderson and Radcliffe. The best time in
the tryout was made by Talon, a fresh
man. who covered the five miles in twenty
seven minutes and forty-seven seconds.
Talon, on account OF the freshman rule,
viii not be allowed to compete In the race
at Chicago.
This fall Nebraska does not expect to
win the run. The team is not as fast as
the one sent east last year, while wiscon-
sin and Chicago are both reported to be
represented by speedier runners than they
had a year ago. Nebraska. however, hopes
10 finish better than last, and ought 10
run even the winners of the first two
places a close race.
