Yeast Sandwiches
Put Weight On
Army Gridders

Frank Wandle, army trainer,
has organized q "yeast squad"
at West Point. It has been in
operation a week now and is
having fine results.
Twenty-Five members Of the
various football squads partake
Of one cake Of yeast each, per
meal, making a yeast sandwich
with bread.
As a pure weight builder,
Wandle says yeast cannot be
beaten. Practically every man
on the "yeast squad" has gained
at least two pounds in the last
week.

Nebraskass football elevens Of the
last three years now hold a unique
record.
During that period the outstand-
ing gridiron performers Of the coun.
try have been the Four Horsemen
Of Notre Dame and Red Grange Of
illinois.
Nebraska enjoys the distinction
OF having stopped both-and by the
same methods.
Grange was checked at the height
of his game-both last season and
this. He made his sensational debut
against Nebraska in 1928, but In
the games OF last season and Of last
Saturday Red failed to score a
touchdown.
The Cornhuskers split even in
three tussles with the Four Horse
men.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. Sits a

scores them two runs, and 1t sews

Well, that's what 1 consider a

today and Pittsbugg won't have
