LINCOLN. Noy. ,speciall-Two more
games remain ON The Cornhusker schedule
and both are Of primary Importance 20 the
Scarlet and the Cream Ames. which has
come to be classed with Kansas az a
rival Of Nebraska for athletic honors in
the Missouri valley will be met first
Cole is as DESTROYS Of beating Ames as
the Haskell Indians who furnish the bill
for the Thanksgiving day struggle. Re
ports and relative scores give the Corn
huskers reason TO expect a victory over
Abe Ames men. Earlier In the season the
dope pointed that kansas would have
nothing to frighten the Cornhuskers, but
as the time Tor the Jayhawker game APP
preached. the kansas wizard whipped his
team into wonderful form.
Amos will be seen I'm Lincoln this fall
for the first time since the memorable
hattie on Andrews field where in the last
few minutes Of play, Captain Weller sent
the plgskin sailing over the cross bars
with a we'll executed drop kick and robbed
the Iowsns OF victory by score Of 10 TO 9.
The next year athletic relations between
the two schools we're broken. but for the
last two years Ames and Nebraska have
met in Omaha.
Ames BRckfield Good.
Ames has been eliminated from the
valley championship. but this does not
divert interest In the approaching contest.
The Indians have always played a
/ wonderful game against the Cornhuslkers
and Nebraska hes a score to settle for the
close games I'm previous years. Ames has
strong backfield but the line il weak
and with the powerful forward defense
| OF the Cornhuskers Nebraska should
encounter little trouble on the defensive.
! But the COrnhuskers have been weak ever
since the Denver game on the offense
and even as the season advances, the
crudities of the backfield become more
glaringly apparent
The we'll organized scoring machine
which Cole apparently had developed has
not been in action since the Cornhuskers
administered severe beating to Deacon
Koehler's pupils. In the Doane game the
varsity played like high school boys
fumbling wretohedly, mistaSing signals and
giving as wobbly an exhibition Of foot bal
as has been seen on a Nebraska field II
many a day.
AT the time it was thought that the var
sity were having a little Joke, but Cole
refused to admit that It was 'horseplay,'
and the practice on the following weel
verified Coles attitude. The practice wal
sufficient TO arouse CONSERVATION in thu
Cornhusker camp.
