LINCOLN, Neb., Oct 2s.-(speoisI.)-
Just week more and the Cornhuskers
will know whether the season Of 1910 has
been a success for Cole and has band Of
gridiron warriors. The "Old Kansas" the
bitterest rival Of the Cornhuskers. will
have been met and the supremacy Of the
Missouri valley apparently settled.
OF course, there may be some surprises
foot ball Is an uncertain game but the
dope indicates that the championship Of
the valley will be settled when Coles
pupils meet the Kansans at Lawrence
next Saturday afternoon. AS the time for
the game approaches, there IL an uncer-
tainty arising and the COrnhuskers realize
that 1t will be only after hard battle that
they can wrestle back the honors from
Kennedy's proteses.
Cole has given Nebraskans little oppor-
tunity to see the team in action during the
last week. Secret practice has been the
order OF the day throughout the week.
Those who have been on the field report
that the week has not been encouraging.
The Cornhusker defence has weakened and
the freshmen backfed, although admit
tedly stronger than in recent years, has
been able to make big gains through the
line.
Little Potter, the freshman quarterback.
has carried the ball on long runs around
the ends for four touchdowns. and the
varsity has been held on par throughout
the week Cole has been so Disguised
that he has threatened several shakeups
n the veterans don't display a little more
ginger and come back
Back Field Changed.
] The hackfieid has heen shifted q great
deal during the week. Owing to the slight
| injury to Warner, Minor has been played
at quarter during most of the practice.
Russell has been shifted to fullbacR as an
understudy OF Rathbone and Minor o.
Frank, e. Frank and Elwell have been
used at halfback. The combination has
| been productive Of a much more powerful
Offense than the Cornhuskers could pro-
duce easily in the season.
! The game with Denver demonstrated
/ that with the line holding its own against
| the Kansas forwards, the JayhawkeTs may
expect to encounter quite the most aggres-
sive set Of backs in recent years. o.
Frank is regarded as the fastest halfback
in the Missouri valley. He has acquired a
considerable knowledge Of the game during
his university experience, besides a great
amount OF natural ability. Frank is a
great defensive player. His tackling in the
| Denver game has never been excelled by a
Corahusl;er player in fierceness and accur-
acy. Frank makes use OF his arms in
carrying the ball and Is most mystifyine
dodger While younger in gridiron expert
ence, Cornhuskers expect that Tommy
Johnson will find rival in Frank.
Another feature Of the Denver game
demonstrated that Cole has a pair Of for
wards who cannot be excelled in carryinl
the ball.

and shine in advancing the ball. Cole re-
fused to divulge his trick plays, but unless
the dope is wrong both the pair viii b.
