became a varsity player and for two years
was all-western funback.
This is his first year with Doane. but
he has developed a powerful team for a
minor college and has been startling Ne
braska foot ball circles with the showing
his players have been making. A. it now
looks he has by far the best eleven In
the state outside OF the cornhuskers and
that his players viii clean up the coilegs
championship with ease.
Coach CLARK has watched the Cornhusk-
ers IN every game they have played this
Gall and he knows pretty well what they
are capable OF doing. His presence at
the games has been occasioned more by
his desire to sec the Cornhuskers play
than to get a line on the work Of King
Coles proteges. OF course. he has wished
to see what his players will be up against
and has derived great benefit from con-
stantly Witnessing the coTnhuskers in ac-
ton.
When In Lincoln this week Clark prom
ised Cole that the Doane players would
give the Cornhuskers a stiff game. He
said his men are heavy and fast and that
they have been playing IN fine form all

lower score than any Doane team Of re-
cent years has done.
