Against Notre Dame.

Lincoln, Nov N.-(Special. DIR.
Stewards rejuvenated Huskers began
their preparation this afternoon for
the final game OF the season against
Notre Dame, which will send one of
the best elevens in its history to do
battle on Thanksgiving day.
The Huskers frisked through long
signal practice and then DR.. Stewart
called on the first team for long
drill on new formations. There will
be no scrimmage for the Huskers this
week. DR.. Stewart found as a result
of the battering which the Huskers
got in the Iowa game that his squad
could not stand any excessively saw
age scrimmage, such as marked the
practice last week. All of the Husk-
ers were more or less battered, but
Cameron, Otoupalik and Cook were
the particular marks and Galley also
received more than his share of at
tention from the Iowa tacklers.
For the first time this season the
Huskers exhibited something of an
offense last Saturday. With Galley in
structed to throw the play wide open,
the Huskers turned loose at Iowa
City and used more formations than
they used all the rest of the season.
Stewart plans to change his attack
radically for the Notre Dame game.
1t was reported that Notre. Dame had
five scouts on the sidelines during
the Iowa games and so stewart is
determined to take no chances. -
Works New Formations.
The squad will be kept pegging
away until Thursday morning with
the new formations and Stewart ex-
poets to give the pupils of Harper
fairly interesting time, although
predictions have been freely made
that the South Bend institution would
swamp Nebraska. "a ..st 81
In one respect Notre Dame will be
at a bigger disadvantage than the
Huskers. The squad will be on the
train almost constantly until Tues
day night, having left for Chicago
late. this evening. Harper plans on
limbering up Wednesday afternoon on
the Nebraska gridiron.'

weighs Nebraska ten pounds to the
man, while the Husker backfeld is
also lighter than the visitors.
~. Erect More Seats.
Guy E. Reed said that he expected
every one of the choice seats would
be gone by tonight, but the Husker
manager plans to construct additional
.bleacher space and will make arrange
ments to handle as big crowd as
possible.
If Notre Dame fails to win by a
decisive score-a margin of fifteen
points-there is going to be a bunch
Of Lincoln sports drop their rolls.
These fellows banked the Huskers
against Kansas and when they lost
their coin they were so mad they
rushed out to bet against the Huskers.
Most of them were compelled to give
Odds and bet on rha score, but they
did it willingly in view of the poor
showing of the Cornhuskers against
Kansas. When Nebraska came back
to life against Iowa, they began to
get cold feet but had already spiked
their coin
DR.. Stewart is more concerned with
the physical condition of his squad
now, than any other feature. He does
not want the men to go stale and he is
afraid of injuries. That is why Stew
art changed his mind about the final
scrimmage drills and decided to take
no chances with injuries in scrim-
