acceptable guests for future occasions
among the ambitious and aggressive
set.
AS to just what Dawson found when
ne peeped at his hand, it may be said
that about the toughest Job he appear
to have Is to keep from laughing aim
self out of the pot. He looked and
found 'em all right. and now hes
looking for the curious gentry who de-

letter man in 1890, who, with his 1870
pounds Of heft. was savage batter
ing ram, but who may be shifted cut
to end this year.
With this array most coaches would
be willing to tell the recruits from last
years yearling squad to call around
another time when they weren't so
busy. Indeed, Dawson seems to be in a
position to do just that. But it so hap
pens that one or more of last years
crop is quite likely to shove some of
the older faces into the discard There
are half dozen or more of those colts
who will decline TO be ignored. Among
them are Spiece, Sturn,, Trautman,
Packer, KIemke, McAllister, Hinman,
r. Dewitt, Randolph, Hubka, Edelman
and Springer Is it any wonder that
Dawson is having difficulty in masking
a smile?
One Defeat Suffered Last Year
I he Nebraskans ran rather rough
shod over neighboring teams last year
IN winning the Missouri Valley Confer
ence cham plonsnip, and they expect / o
repeat this year. The only defeat last
season was at the hands OF Notre Dame,
hnute Rockne's team winning by
score of TO 0. This year the South
Bend colegians will be reeling some
what from rather ruthless deletions OF
their ranks, owing to charges of pro-
fesslonalism after the close of the 1921
oS"SoiI' SIiA IilE 4NetIdShGIS uE6 count
ing strongly on getting even.
The Syracuse team will afford the
only medium of comparison with teams
of other sections. The remaining games
on the Cornhuskers' schedule are all
with teams in their own general sec +
.ion, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Kansas Aggies and Iowa State College
are the other engagements of note .
Looks like Dawson and his charges arc
II for highly successful season.
They play right vigorous football oat
Nebraska way, and evidently Dawson
las no intention OF allowing the rough .
'dges of contact to be smelted down 20
any fromageous consistency. Among
he equipment and appurtenances that
he ordered sent along to the training
lamp at the start of the season were
'several! sets of boxing gloves. He says
here is something Of an analogy be- /
,ween the spirit of the squared ring
md the griddled rectangle; but it's
pirit, mind you, not methods.
