LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 6.-CSpecial.)-
King Cole and his squad Of C~ornhusKers
Will enjoy a vacation" for the greater
share OF next week and there Is not likely
to be any scrimsge work for the eleven
untn the Monday or Tuesday before the
meeting with Denver, which Is the next
game on the schuedle and which takes
place at the Colorado metropolis on No
vember 20.
The enforced rest Of the coming week is
what the Cornhuskers need to keep them
from going stale from over training and
Il will be warmly welcomed by all the
TENDERS OF the squad. not only because
Il permits a respite from practice, but
also because the mid-semester examina-
lions will take place during the later part
Of the week.
Most members Of the squad have been
compelled to neglect their studies just a
little and they will need the hours oc-
casioned by the letup In foot ball practice
to get their scholastic work in shape for
passing the tests.
For Monday there will probably be no
practice at all by the men who played
in the Jayhawker game this afternoon,
though ''King'' Cole will be on the field TO
direct the work of the freshmen and other
players who wish to set some special at
tention from the head coach. The training
for the Kansas game was 30 strenuous
that Cole did not set time to pay heed to
any OF the ineligible men on the squad. but
now he will devote a deal Of his labor, for
three days. to showing the other Corn
husker players they should do.
VIII Drill New Material.
This respite from coaching the first
eleven Is Just what Cole has been wanting.
for he wishes to drill the new material as
much as possible so II will be I'm shape for
next fall. Last year Cole wal kept 90
busy with the first eleven that he had nc
time to devote 10 the new material and
when he came back this fall he had Ia
take hold OF a bunch of green men, who
might nave been advanced several de
grees in their knowledge OF the great col
lege game had he had several spare hours
to devote to them last autumn.
The Nebraska COACH, when the varsity
players get back to work the latter part Of
the week, will introduce q few new plays
that will be drilled into the team for use In
the Denver and Haskell Indian games
which are the only two contests that re-
main to be played this fall.
The -Cornhuskers were forced to uncover
most Of their tricks today and the Denver
and Haskell spies who were in the bleach
ers got their eyes full, 90 Cole knows he
will have to nave a few new tricks tc
spring on the remaining opponents Of the
C%ornhuskers. &
An arrangement may be made during
the coming week to take most OF the Corn
husker players TO Iowa City TO see tins
Iowa-Ames game next Saturday. lows
ana Ames are Just as strong rivals as are
= ..rA. uuLnrm and thAg
uni play q hard game for the champion
ship Of the Hawkeye state. II the trip &c
Iowa city can be made II will be done Al
a tribute to the faithful work OF the Ne
braska players this fall.
Meet OLD Nebraska Player.
II is regarded as rather a strange coin
cldent that each of Nebraska's two re
naming opponents this fail is coached BY
a former Cornhusker student ana player
At Denver "Deac' Koehler. who won m
AT center on the elevens in the
seasons of 1900 and 1901, is coaching a win
ming team. Down at the Haskell Indiar
institute Johnny Bender, most famous OF
all Nebraska players. Is drilling the red
skins to meet the Cornhuskers on Thanks
giving day.
These two former C~ornhuskers are botf
set on defeating Coles eleven and ar'
pointing their respective elevens to &C
oompilsh that aim. 'Twister' Bender Il
especially set on beating his former school
for he lie looking toward higher eoachinl
honors and he kinks a victory over Ne
braska will cause a greater demand for hi
services.
''Deac" Koehler is nonetheless deter
mined TO get Nebraska's scalp. He re
members keenly the 50 to 0 drubbinl
Coles players gave his proteges two year
ago and he has sworn to get revenge. HI
has a fast team this fall and he SHOULD
have it in shape to play a grand game OF
November 20.
