LINE At NEBRASKA
LIGHT But STRONG
Great Forwards Developed
by Husker Coaches in
Last Two Years.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, November 25.-Chick
Meehan of New York University says
his team found nothing wrong about
the Nebraska line. Or to put 1t more
plainly, the Cornhusker forwards
were all wrong from the viewpoint of
New York University success.
AS a matter of fact there appears to
have been a line building problem at
Lincoln in the past two years. There
has been in the past few seasons a
falling off in size and weight as COM
pared. say. to 1921 and 1922. when
giants made the earth tremble at
Nebraska.
For an eye.filling combination. that
Nebraska wall of 1922 still looms
scientifically in memory. There were
Schoeppel and Scherer at ends, 1S5
and 1876, respectively; Weller and
Wenke at tackles, 22S and 20S: Bas-
sett. 210 and Berquist, 220, at the
guards. Peterson. the 175.pound CEN
ter, seemed an ant hill when slowed
among these human mountain peaks.
This years Cornhusker line has but
one man of the seven who tips the
beam at over 200 pounds. Most of
the men have had their first varsity
experience this season and the whole
wall is a sophomore Junior combina-
ton.
1t would thus appear that Ernie
Bearg and his line coach, Oakes, have
done a good job with the forwards
and that their work will show even
to better advantage next season.
At least the writer feels that the
oaching system has done sufficiently
we'll to earn the right to go on at
Lincoln and reap the results of what
has been accomplished. Bearg him
self is an idealist in sport and one of
the group of coaches who make the
game a better game because of their
participation in it.

I1dNlIS HSdIu tIldl the MAYOR
VI leagues are comforting among
L themselves again preliminary
to another move to increase
the player limit for each club. the
minor leagues are getting ready for
another handto-hand conflict. And
they won't use gloves.
The minors ure thoroughly prepared
to show a united front when they
meet in another fortnight at Ashe-
Vile y. c., if there is any disposi-
ton on the part of the majors 10 try
to deprive them of pasturage rights
on the sandlots and their rights in
the control of players. They claim
that one of the reasons why they
can't get kids interested in the minor
circuits is that the boys are apt to
become nothing but Chattels in trade
among the major clubs for long
periods.
Don't Need Even Forty.
The major league clubs are entitled
to 40 players during the Winter. They
have about as much need of 30 as a
cat has of 40 tails. The limit is made
that large SO that the ma Jor clubs
can help their minor league friends
protect their player spechlations and
in general keep a firm grip on the
player market. Such is the COnten-
ton of the minor league. When the
majors wished to increase the Winter
limit to 30 players. the minors arose
as one and howled.
The total number of players con-
trolled by the ma lorS on the basis of
so per club would he 500. 1t takes
l44 to play the games of the majors
daily. The difference between 144
and 500 is 656. If 2SS players were
allowed to the ma jors they would
control enough to play a lot Of base
ball.
The ma jors appear anxious to at
tempt to raise the player limit to 80
because some clubs are imbued with
an idea that they have a. financial
investment in the game which en-
titles them to so limit. What the
minors may have invested is some.
thing different.
There are major clubs which take
on players during the Winter with
no more notion of retaining them than
they would have of retaining the
measles. That is done to furnish
trading material for the Spring sea
account practices in base ball. There
is no expense attached to it because
no salaries are paid to these players.
If major and a minor club ar
range for a trade involving one of
these players the expense of training
for the Spring is saddled on the bill
against the minor club. while the
major lea que club gets the right TO
take over the player it wishes at
some sum agreed upon.
