Omaha daily bee., 1921-08-14

princeton captain.l will be featured by
more intersection
al foot ball between elevens of
strength. In former years teams
of little standing in one section have
travelled to other parts OF the coun-
try to give battle to elevens OF
known strength and possibilities.
Nebraska Will Tackle Pitt.
Nebraska is scheduled to max.
another trip into the east. The
Cornhuskers are slated to meet
Pop Warmers Pittsburgh team in
the Smoky City on November 5.
Last year Nebraska invaded. tffS
east and won from Rutgers, buf
was beaten by Penn State. \
. Chicago will entertain Colorado
Aggies,> champion of the Rocky
mountain. conference last year, on
Stagg field early in October, while
number of intersectional contests
between minor college elevens will
be played. The number of strug-
giles between elevens of known
strength, combined with the con-
tests between those which are usu-
ally contenders for sectional honors,
should make the season one OF the
most successful in years.
While a number of intersectional
clashes will be played, the first of
two-game series between Chicago
and Princeton should eclipse all
others. This contest will be played
at Princeton on October q, with 4
return game on Stagg field in 1927
1t is one of the few times in Tiger
football history that Princeton will
travel a distance to give battle on
the gridiron.
Maroons Potentially Strong.
Chicago is an unknown quantity,
Coach Stagg had a great defensive
eleven last year, but the offensive
power was lost when SO many in
iuries occurred in midseason. When
the squad turned out for spring prac-
tice the best looking timber which
has reported in years on the Midway
was put through preliminary tactics.
The men appeared big and strong,
and a number handled themselves
like veterans. -,
The exact status of Chicago will
not be known until Coach Stagg re-
ceives his report from the faculty.
Some OF the promising candidates
are known to have conditions, and
upon their ability to work them of
this summer will largely depend
Chicago's chances of making a
showing against Princeton and in
the western conference race.
Clash of Representative Teams. \,
With all indications pointing to \
Princeton's being a representative
team of the east and Chicago having
a good chance to be represented by
a much stronger eleven than last
year, it will be the first time IN
years that the sections have met with
representative teams.
When Michigan was out OF the
conference the Wolverines played
Penn and Cornell, but at few times
could the Ithacans or Quakers be
rated the best in the east. MIGHT
can had some strong elevens during
its absence from the fold, and when
It was represented by such teams
Penn and Cornell were defeated.
Indiana, which was represented
by good team last season, but !,
had the misfortune to be beaten by
Iowa early in the season. will be
the first eleven from the middle
west to go into action against one
Of the leaders in the east. On Oc-
tober s, Coach E. O. Stiehm will
lead the Hoosiers into Cambridge .

Two Weeks to Prepare. =,
The Hoosiers will have practically
two weeks of practice us an orga-
nized squad before they. leave
Conference rules pro-
nibit teams starting to work as or

This means Coach Stiehm must
start from the first day to develop
his first eleven. On September "a
