schedule isn't in force in intercollegi-
ate games for another week yet, Coach
es Folsom and Castelman are doing
their utmost to develop a drop kicker
and a place kicker. Colorado also has

west ever saw, but he played his last

In preparation for the Minnesota
game, Nebraska is bucking the scrubs
who are using the Gophers' formations
and plays Assistant Coach Ewing who
watched the Gophers and Ames battle

by the ends. The end carrying the ball
proved to be a highly successful vari-
alton. The play was largely originated
by Coach Williams in order to use his
