tore off their first batch of drills in
faultless style. A muddy field, al
times. was the only drawback.
With the Iowa game less than two
weeks off, the coaches devoted much
time 70 the prospective back field
an instrument which Nebraska woe
fully lacks. Head Coach Schultz
personally took charge of entrants
headed by Captain Dobson, half
back, While his assistant, Schissler
drilled the line.
Open Play Emphasized.
Great stress was laid on open field
work. From the first the coaches en-
phasized forward passing and field
running. Turning right angle corners
while running at full speed was one
of the drills that was dealt with cons
tinually. Many candidates showed
unusual speed.
The material classed as follows:
Halfbacks: Dobson, Schellenberg,
Bogue, Jobes and Henry.
Quarterbacks: Howarth, Meals
son, Neuman.
Centers: M. Mum, Day.
Fullbacks: Hartley, Lantz, Dale.
Guards: Cox, Young, Hoyt, Shaw,
w. Mum.
Ends: Collins, Lanphere, Wilder,
Kellogg, Dana, Cypreanson.
Roy Cameron is freshman coach.
Practice during the rainy spell
was held at the state farm grounds,
Nebraska field being considerable
muddy. The men turned out in full
uniforms for the first time on We'd
nesday. Freshman candidates were
given apparel the same day. There
were some 40 applicants among the
incoming ranks. The scrubs will
be reinforced by many emergency
players of '18.
Former Stars Repeat.
Ted Bogue of North Platte, half
back, and Nose Dana of Fremont,
an end, were two of possible sensa-
tons of the week. Bogue is pro-
duct of Ex-Governor Keith Neville
of the western city and startled
high school circles in 1914 with his
brilliant field running. Schultz inn
mcdiately took him in charge.
Dana, a letter man of last year, is
developing greatly as an openfeld
runner.
The back field, still unorganized,
will evolve about Captain Dobson,
back. it is thought. The new Husk-
er beef trust Freddie Dale of
Harrington, Cos lbs. metz who is out
for end, is figured as possible
fullback. Hartley, last years vet,
is not eligible, having played under
S. A. T. c. rules. Scheellenberg,
veteran back, may go to quarter.
Howarth, veteran quarter OF IL,
may stick, however.
Two other whirlwind possibilities
for the generalship of the 1919
eleven are Dick Neuman of Column
bus, and McGlasson of Lincoln. The
latter returned only last week from
service in France, where he earned
the Croix de Guerre and the Distin-
guished Service Cross, in action.
Neuman was an all-state basket ball
guard and forward of 1916.
Veterans Bolster Line.
Wilder, end; Day, center, and
Hubka, tackle, all veterans of the
powerful 1917 team, returned during
the week lending the final bar of
stability to the lCornhusker hopes.
Possibilities are that each will as
sumo their old positions on the line.
Dana may 60 to the other end,
Swanson, Ray and Lyman to the
other tackle.
Johnny Collins, fast South Omaha
basket ball player, sometimes called
the fastest floor man produced in
the history of Nebraska, is out for
end. Collins hasn't played for six
years, however Kellogg and Cy-
preanson, the former of Nebraska
City and the later of Lincoln, are
two other star scholastic athletes
who are out for wing positions.
Guards will be amply provided.
The four games scheduled for
October-Iowa, Minnesota, Notre
Dame and Oklahoma-are conceded
considerable program, perhaps the
hardest ever faced by "big league
grid team. That three Of them are
to be played away from home at
Iowa City, Minneapolis and Omaha,
is an added worry. Schultz, however,
is optimistic.
well make a jab, anyway" he
says.
Defeat Gophers Slogan.
Defeat of the Gophers will be fol-
lowed by an uninterrupted string OF
victories, it is claimed; befeat by
Minnesota would bring disaster.
DOC" Williams, like other coaches
of the Big Ten, is receiving more
than his quota Of returned war veter-
ans. His downfall on October II
would be big feather in Nebraska
cap.
Syracuse U, which school plays
the Cornhuskers in the annual inter
sectional game on Thanksgiving day,
is captained this year by Alexander,
alI-American guard of last year.
The latter is surrounded by corps
of grid warriors of the east. The
New York school, it is said, will have
to be reckoned with in the settle
ment fthe eastern championship.
