Wete it not for a o to 6 set
hack by Syracuse, tho University
u Nebraska would now be in a
position To make some sweeping
sridirpn claims.
Nebraska has great team in

defeat Of Notre Dame in the final
afne ct the year IS all the proof
hat need be offered to substanti-
dte that statement.
Isaw Notre Dame defeat the
trong Carnegie Tech team in
ftlther3 easy style. was greatly
if1pressed with Rockne's eleven.
VT i've days later Nebraska
goes ont and hands Notre Dame its
7 only defeat Of the year.
When Nebraska came east to
play Syracuse, It was doped to win.
5Hst prior to the Nebraska game
SyraGuEe had been held to score
less tie by Brown, beaten by Pitt
tito ~ and held to a 0 to 0 tie by
Penn State.
Nebraska invaded tho east her

western coach was foolish enough
70 say that Nebraska could beat

successive games. He probably

Possibly Nebraska had an Oft
day incidentally Syracuse played
one o. itsgbest games.of the year.
Ilte result, ai9 to G win for SYRIA
cuse, put q large kirk in Nebras-
kaiA aspirations.
Despite the fact that Nebraska
and Erake boasted the outstanding
teams in the conference, some
mighty brilliant players were 70 be

STARK OF the Kansas Aggies was
q popular choice for halfback.
Ham from the same college was
almost q unanimous choice for a
guard position! Higgins of Kansas

etlt forward since not a single
critic on erlooked him. Some placed
him at guard; a few at center,
While q majority favored him as a

Although in Scherer and Schoep-
pel, Nebraska boosted two fine
ENDS, netting polled as many first
choice votes as Black GE Kansas
and Marsh Of Oklahoma.
The Nebraska players to win a
flnst rating at their respective pos

MAJ. Paddock Scouts Statement
Aviator Hid Behind Curtain.


BY the Associated Press
fORT SILL. Okla, April 6.-The
killing of Lieut. Col. Paul Ward Beck,
assistant commandant of Post Field.
came as a shock to officers and en-
listed men here who were comrades
of the daring aviator.
Both officers and men made it plain
today that they found it hard to be-
lieve the charges made against Lieut..
Col. Beck
Lieut.. Col. Beck was one of the
finest soldiers I have ever come into
contact with" said Brig. Gen Hindes,
commander of Fort Sill, land as far
as I know his character has always
been above reproach."
Maj. r. B. Paddock, who accom-
panied Lieut.. Col. Beck on his trip to
Oklahoma City last Monday and was
member of the party at the Day
home there, declared Beck was never
a coward
He never hid from anybody" said
Maj. Paddock. HE faced death as a
matter of duty in the air and on the
ground too many times to play the
role Of coward dog regardless OF
the position he was found in.
knowing Col. Beck as I did, I can
almost say positively he did not jump
behind any curtain. 1t was not like
him to do anything of that kind even
though he were caught in a tight
place.
HE was not a coward and just why
the statement is made that he hid be-
hind such fmsy thing as a curtain
is beyond me.
"At no time during our stay in the
Day homo was any liquor served to
our party" Maj. Paddock declared.
