coaching should be made one of the
most powerful in the state. Kearney
had strong runnerup team last year
and losing practically no material,
will probably climb higher than most
coaches of the big towns care to fig
ure.
Beatrice Getting Ready.
At Beatrice the usual efficient prep-
arations are going on. Coach Rath-
bun and his assistant, Milton Jones,
are holding several and various con-
ferences, in which they have it doped
out that the Queen City will cap
ture the scalps of York, Central High
and Lincoln this year. York and
Central High are thinking differently,
however As for Lincoln, we have
already spoken. Big Earnest Hubka.
giant tackle, will be captain of the
team, taking the place of Clarence
Fitzpatrick. The Queen City team
will be little hindered by graduation.
The definite dope has not come up
yet.
North Platte and Grand Island,
two rival contenders for the state
championship last year, will also be
in the swim with fast teams. Since
Keith Neville has gone to campaign
ing, it is not known who will coach
the North Platte team this year, al
though Superintendent of Schools
Wilson Tout always is a ready hand
at the job. Grand Island has large
part of her team still on hand for the
1916 schedule.
Poor Schedule.
South High, the last member OF the
"Big Nine" is minus a good schedule
this year, although material is par ex-
cellent. Mayhap, Coach Patton took
his 81 to Is defeat at the hands of
Beatrice as clue to get out of the
big swim, but students won't believe
it. Patton's team this year will be
one of the best in years, if prospec-
tive recruits can be gotten together
from the start. Ted Korbmaker, vet
eran center of the University of
Omaha team, has registered at the
school, and probably will turn out for
the team. In Van Arthurton and
Wayne Emigh are two of the fastest
halfbacks in this section. Big Gust
Rugie, who tips the scales at 1870
pounds, and Dewey Curtis, another
of the same weight, will defend the
line. Captain Graham and Lyman
Corr are veteran ends of the last two
years. Joe Dworak, another giant,
will be at the halfback position. Sew
eral new recruits OF considerable
weight will fill out one of the heav-
lest lines in the schools history.
Call Men Later.
Coach Mulligao announced last
Wednesday that he would defer call
ing his men out until the latter part
of the week. Patton plans to let pre-
liminaries slide for another two
weeks until the hot weather has
passed. The two schedules well
cover the entire state and the Nil
souri, valley. Central has games
scheduled with Council Bluffs, Nor
folk, Lincoln, Beatrice, Sioux City,
Sioux Falls and ST. Joe, while South
High will meet Nebraska City, Blair,
Council Bluffs, Logan, Commerce
High. Both coaches have left dates
open. 1t is assumed that the two
schools will come together in ban
ner clash. Patton made the advance
last year, and it will be up to Multi
gan to breach the subject this year il
the fray is to be scheduled.
A good line of second grade teams
are expected to make things hum for
the nine leaders. Nebraska City, Au-
rora, Gothenberg, McCook, Scots
bluffs, Central City, University Place,
Ashland and Osceola form a first.
