Darkness put a stop 20 the last scrirnmase
practice OF the Conhuskers on the eve
II the game With the Jayhswkers next
saturday afternoon al Lawrence. Cole
kept the varsity going ~ hrsskneck
.Docd ell afternoon. devoting an hour 90
signal practice which was one OF the most
satisfactory OF the year. The plays ran
= Of smoothly add with plenty Of gingcr.
When It came, 10 scrimmage work
against the freshmen, the varsity did not
show up 50 brlnsntly and the first year
men pushed the rgEulars hard during the
first few minutes Of scrimmage Then
the varsity. settled down and had little diff
ueulty in scoring az VIII owen Frank
PLAYED with q dash that made him casiy
the star Of the evening. and tore through
the scrub line and Fkirted the ends FOR
long gains. Rathboun and Minor also ala
excellent work in advancing the ball The
backfield situationlls nearly as puzzling
before the Kansas game az earliss In the
season.
Cole has placed Minor a. half back in
stead % the Younger Frsuk and may shift
the lineup to plsy Minor. The change
would add some weight to the bacCfield
and Minor Is the speediest man on the
varsity squad His defensive play is OF
a high order Frank lacks the experience
that Minor has had, bit Is more accurate
in handling puntS
LOfEren al End.
I.ofgren will probably start the game vt
end Chauner Will be stationed on the
other wing. Should Kansas prove effective
In skirting the ends, Cole has another shift
by which he could place two great de-
fenslve players on the end positions while
Nebraska is on the defense The squad,
i'm company with the coach, manager and
trainer will leave at 10 O'Clock Thursday
night over the Missouri Pacific for Kansas
city The team will arrive in Kansas City
early Friday morning and In the afternoon
cole wifi take the squad out for short
signal practice The team will not go 20
Lawrence until Saturday morning on ac-
count Of the lack OF hotel accommodations.
There will be an innovation in the send
of given the team by the Cornhuskers.
rht rooters will form at the university
grounds for a torchight parade through
the principal business streets, with the
team in the lead. The. management has
purchased 800 torches and will sell them
10 the students at cost It IL believed that
fully 1900 students win Join in the parade
and give the Cornhuskers the greatest re-
ception ever rendered a Nebraska team.
Earlier in the evening the ToOters will
watch the varsity In the closing practice
before the invasion OF Jay hawker land.
Cole will not permit any scrimmage Thurs
day evening and Will only order a light
signal practice. The team will be kept
rTnning through. the plays for about an

papers have again been publishing. Tn, le-
ports OF injuries 20 the squad are regarded
as being highly colored. Coach Ewing. who
Witnessed the Kansas ashburn game last
Saturday brings back q glowing tale OF
the prcwess Of the JNyhawkers. The assist.
ant coach claims that the Jayhawkers are
fully az good, II not better than they were
last year n such is the case. then Ne
braska stands but lfttle chance. Ewing sayl
that the lines will outweigh Nebraska
forwards and the baeSflelb also has tn,
edge on the Cornhuskers. Ewing was mucf
impressed with the work Of Tommy John
