Indications now are that Omaha VIII DO
this, for the tickets are selling fast a.
Myers & Dnlon's.
Manager Eager has arranged that about
eight tallyho parties may be admitted to
the grounds. but the number is limited be-
cause OF limited space around the grid
iron. The old stands occupy all the west
side OF the field and the new stands will
cover a large part OF the east side lines.
The Dahlman democracy has made april
cation for space for the huge tallyho and
as many OF the faithful as may pile on
viii journey to vinton park to watch the
sport.
The new stands are nearing completion
and those who have seen them say they
are the finest ever built in the west. Not
a nail is used In their construction. as all
the heavy timbers are bolted together so
they may easily, be torn down and trans
ported to Lincoln, where they will be used
as permanent stands on the new athletic
field OF the university.
When the University Of Nebraska con-
tingent arrives for the game II will parade
from the depot behind the cadet band.
The band will lead, followed by the foot
ball squad in automobiles and the 1000
students will follow behind. The parade
will march to the Henshaw hotel, which
is the headquarters for the Cornhuskers
Cole Gets Assistance.
The new coaches appeared on Nebraska
field yesterday afternoon to help king
Cole get the CornhuskeIs into shape for
the battle with Minnesota at Omaha Sat
urday, and the alacrity and speed with
which the varsity went through its plays,
topping over the defense Of the second
| eleven and vUprlfpg rau trg,Ir. r-,. .t
dence of the great assistance the volun-
teer coaches are giving to the Nebraska
players.
The two men who aided the Nebraska
coaches were John Westover, star tackle
and captain Of the ~Cornhuskers a few
years ago, and Captain C. Heltzman Of
the United States army, who won his
letter at West Point.
Westover gave each man in the line in
dividual attention, teaching them how to
make their positions a stone in the Corn
husker wall. Westover played against
Minnesota four times and he understands
the way WNiams has his llnemen play
and during the rest of the week he will
spend the afternoons in instructing the
Cornhuskers how to perfect their defense.
Captain Heitzman played end on the
Army eleven, and yesterday he gave his
attention to the Nebraska ends. His in
struction was of the right kind, too, for
none of the second eleven was able to
once skirt a wing for a gain. The cap
tain will also work with the Cornhuskers
during the rest Of the week.
Bill Chaloupka was again with the
squad, assisting 1t in teaching the plays.
Former Captain Glen Mason will be on the
field today to lend all the aid he can in
coaching the team for the big battle.
The Cornhuskers yesterday tore up the
defense of the second eleven In the easiest
kind of fashion and, securing the ball on
their own, ten-yard line they marched
straight down the field for a touchdown
without once losing possession of the oval.
Trick plays, in which the new 'hold-on'
forward pass was used, worked to perfec-
ton.
To try out the varsity line the second
team was given the ball on the twenty
yard line and told to use Minnesota plays
against the varsity. In five minutes the
best the second eleven could do with the
Gopher plays was to get to the 'varsity's
ten-yard line.
king" Cole is using several plays that
have been built up around Frank, the star
man of the back field. Some OF these were
tried yesterday and the fast halfback
writhed through the scrubs for ten and fit
teen yards at a time. Only on one OF
two occasions were the second team players
able to stop the slippery star and then only
after he had gained three or four yards.
Hts showing in practice marked him as
the man who will do some sensational play.
ing against the Gophers. King Cole is OF
the opinion that he will gain several yards
in the first half on the new tricks.
Captain Buck" Better Is punting in fine
; form this week and yesterday sent the
oval fifty and fifty-five yards. With his
booting toe in shape Saturday the Nebraska
captain expects to spring a few surprise;
l on the Gophcrs.
Secret practice will probably he the order
this afternoon. The coaches will take th'
l squad to the state farm.
