Hard Game Expected.

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct l4-(Speciai)
-Jubi'aticn permeated the campus
at the University of Nebraska with
the return of the Cornhuskers, under
the leadership of Coach Henry
Schultz and Captain Baul Dobson
from Minneapolis Sunday.
The fever generals from the JOY
at holding the Gophers to a to 6
tie.
Little cares coach Schultz whether
or not Metre Dame, Kansas, Okla
homa. Ames, Missouri and SYRIA
cuse scouts dig into the heart of his
style OF play" for the old. Husker
spirit IS back in its stronghold once
more--and back to stay. .
Nevertheless Nebraska is pick
ing its way carefully in anticipation
ct the big game with Notre Dame
university here Saturday, Assistant
Coach Schissler returned TO Lincoln
Sunday, from Notre Dame, Ind,
with pointers on the exact strength
OF the Catholic institution.
The Catholics, this year, have
probabl the strongest and most
powerful team in their history-this
applying most certainly to the
backheld. They have third set
OF backs that are as good probably
as any in the country" is the state
ment of Coach Schissler. The
assistant coach spent an hour Mon
day giving Notre Dame plays to
the varsity.
Notre Dame Organized.
captain Bahan, quarterback;
kasper. fullback; Brandy, quarter
back; Bergman, Gipp, Berry, Miller
and MOZART. make up the backheld
that the Indiana institution has to
flash on the western foot ball arena.
With an entirely substitute team. |
Notre Dame easily defeated Mount |
Union college, strong secondary |
college. 90 to last Saturday.
The Notre Dame line is a bear |
Their wings are among the best |
have seen in many day. The |
entire team is so perfectly organ
ized that any set of backs can work |
in at most any moment" These
are the statements OF the Nebraska
scout.
Schellerberg, Nebraska's star, who
made the brilliant run for
touchdown in the Gopher game,
twisted his ankle again in Monday
nights signal scrimmage. Lyman,
veteran tackle. and "Schel1ey" were
back in their regular places.
Coach Contemplates a Change.
That Schultz will authorize slight
changes in the structure of his
machine for the Notre Dame game
is generally believed. !
Wide interest is being taken in
the battle, Notre Dame has, for
years, been regular member of the
Husker schedule. Now that both
schools are "nonconference," the
interest has quickend. There are
thousands of Nebraska Catholics
who take keen interest in the COM
petition. The Nebraska Notrc
Dame record:
l9l5-Nebraska, 20; Notre Dame.
lol6-Notre Dame, 20; Nebraska,
l9l7-Nebraska, 7; Notre Dame
0.
1918-Nebraska, 0; Sotre Dame,
That either team will score in the
coming encounter is generally be-
lieved. The Notre Dame backheld,
possessing tremendous power. will
possibly open enough holes in the
Husker line, to count once more.
Likewise the Husker line and ends
are figured on to even or better the
Catholic count. +
Huskers Win Prize.
Throughout the nation the foot
ball world, there is wholesome
respect for the Nebraska team, now tx
that the Minnesota game is passed. s
Had the Huskers met smaller i,
school in their first meeting there
is little doubt but they would have
gone through the season without a
defeat up to the last game with
Syracuse.
Syracuse, judging from scores in !
the east, is showing UP as one OF
the strong contenders for the east
ern title. New York aggregation j
defeated the army Saturday, 7 to j..
Pittsburg, possibly the only, other ),
strong contender for eastern honor,.
meets Syracuse two weeks from F
Saturday. A victory by Syracuse
would bring to Lincoln the greatest !,
foot bali team in the country for
Thanksgiving game.
Contending in the western con-
ference, advance dope indicates that
Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State and ,
Illinois are the leaders. Chick Har- ,
ley is at Ohio State while Yost at
Michigan has his old string of :
formidables back. Coach Jones at
Iowa will find his test in the games
with Illinois and Minnesota in the
two weeks coming.
Oklahoma Drops One. +
The fall of Oklahoma by Harry Z
college, by the decisive
score of u to 0, though the latter q
college ordinarily has very strong :,
causes the Nebras
ka- Oklahoma game at Omaha. Octo- {
