LINCOLN, Ncb.. oct SpecialD-
Jerry Warner, the star quarterback Of the
Cornhuskers. has been out Of the game
since the Denver contest last SATURDAY
While running with the ball Warner was
tackled and thrown In such a manner as
to wrench his spine
Nothing was thought Of the injury al the
time. bat Warner experienced some pain
Sunday and Cole thought il best for the
little quarterback to rest up before don
ming the mOleskins again. His injury is
not regarded as serious, but IL will prob
ably keep Warner out Of practice until the
latter part of the week
Secrecy is the word in the Cornhusker
camp. Even the faithful few are not per
mitted to lounge around the bleaohers and
the work behind closed doors will be
strictly enforced until after the Jayhawler
contest. On Thursday and Friday nights
Cole will permit the rooters to see his
proteges in action, but during the remain
der Of the week the work will be secret
The necessity for secret practice has
been deeply felt at Nebraska While the
management gives the neighboring schools
credit for sportsnannke conduct. Il has
been felt that the close supervision Of the
rooters before the crucial game Of the
schedule is necessary

Kennedy is a master OF this department
Of the play and Cole has also had success.
The scrlmmage Wednesday night was
not so encouraging, Several Of the veter-
ans were out Of the line up when the
scrubs made their best showing against
the varsity but even then. the latter were
able to advance the bail consistently The
Cornhuskers offense was the one redeem
ing feature Of the practice and the men
tore through the "freshies'' for long
gains around the end.
The air was bracing and the players put
more ginger in the practice than on the
preceding evening when Coles pupils
rather stuffed through the evening.
Deacon Koehler was a visitor Tuesday
evening with the permission of the man
agement. Koehlers last instructions were
to administer a beating to Kansas
koehler was previously a member Of the
CornhuskeTs before going to Chicago and
later back to Denver, where he was en-
gagged TO coach the Denver University.

Considerable interest has been aroused by
