LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct 22-Cspeciai.)-
There will be no let up Of the hard work
from now on Until after the Kansas game.
said Coach king" Cole Of Nebraska, IN
speaking Of the. preparation for the crucial
game Of the Cornhusker schedule. Kennedy
invented some rich bear stories In 1903 and
caught US mapping; he caught Nebraska
before in 1895, but II Nebraska is beaten
this fan It will be solely upon merit"
Nor ls the Nebraska coach afraid that
his proteges viii become stale under the
vigorous practice that he has outlined
FOR the next fourteen days. Cole admitted
that the Cornhuskers were stale in 1905
but called attention TO the three hard
games the team had been compelled TO play
just before the Jayhawker game with Min
nesota, then Ames and finally with Iowa
Nebraska hopes 20 wipe out tho defeats
OF the recent years By sweeping Kansas
Off its feet The Cornhuskers will not
be satisfied with a low score game and
to this end will be prepared to use
every trick formation made possible by
the new rules. IL is safe to predict that
when Coles pupils meet the Jayhaw kers
they will have one Of the most varied Of
lenses in the history OF Cornhusker foot
ball.
small Fear for Denver.
Even the fear OF the Mountaineers this
week failed 20 arouse special preparation
FOR the Denver game. Cole realizes that
there is just one big game on every sched-
ule on which the rooters base a season s
success and u the Nebraska mentor can
win from the ancient rivals Of Nebraska,
there will be enough JOY in the Cornhusker
camp to blot out all other unpleasant
memories.
IL Is tremendous task which confrOnts
Cole. The game with Minnesota was q
distinct surprise to Nebraska. II showed
that the beef" which was believed TO be
at the disposal Of the coach was lacking
and that the baciSfield and ends we're
woefully light Against a powerful, well
balanced team like the Gophers, the Corn
huskers were powerless. The team played
the best ball It could but met superior
ele ON and the score must be taken as in
dicatiye OF the relative merits OF the two.
At Kansas a different situation exists.
Like Nebraska the Jayhawkor ends and
backs are light, while the line Is also
lighter than It was last season. The Jay
hawkers still have the wonderful Tommy
Johnson, but the rest OF Kennedys ma
chine bears little resemblance to what Il
die AZ this time last year. But this is taken
for little at Nebraska, for Kennedy already
mas taken team that has been. trimmed
by secondary schools earlier in the season
and smashed the Cornhuskers' hopes.
Makeup of Team Problem.
The makeup OF the team still remains a
big problem. Cole has directed that the
scrimmage work be long and heavy during
the next two weeks and the material will
be given a thorough test. II would not be
surprising to see several new faces in the
lineup against the Kansans. Russell has
been shifted from end to a place in the
backfield and is playing a good game. His
speed is a big asset and he may be given
an opportunity against the Jayhawkers.
Harmon is being worked at guard TO nll
the vacancy caused by the injury to Elliott
In the Minnesota game. Harmon is q
heavier man than any of the other pubsti-
tutes and Is hard fighter, but lacks foot
bali experience.
Manager Earl o. Eager has finally sue
ceeded in securing a special rate for the
Kansas game and a special train win be
run TO Lawrence, The rate has been fixed
at S.S0, the train leaving Lincoln early Fri
4 day night and reaching Kansas Saturday
morning. For the accommodation OF the
students the railroad officials have con-
scented to place a sleeper on the special
beFths costing an additional g..
/ After the game the special will leave
Lawrence at II O'Clock Saturday night and
( will reach Lincoln early sunday morning
All alumni in the state who desire to make
the trip should communicate with Manager
Eager. During the next two weeks several
rallies will be had to arouse interest The
band will accompany the team and II ia
estimated that fully 800 students will take
advantage OF the special rate
