Kansas will be the team to beat and
one OF the favorities to DO 1t is Ne

than last year, and I understand
Nebraska had a fine Freshman team
last season. so the Cornhuskers will be
hard to beat"
At Nebraska much depends on how
the sophomore backs come Though

Spring workouts. and with an expert

Kansas State is depending on the
strength recruited from the freshmen
squad of last year. There will be IL
letter men back. but the sophs are the
main hope. Stars lost by graduation
include Nigro, now with Toledo in the
American Association: Fiser. Messenger

back field, and Norton, Errington
Yeager, Daniels and Brookover in the
line. Capt Henry Cronkite, end
punter and passer. will be one OF the
main hopes of Aggieland. Other return
ing letter men who will be helpful are
Hraba. guard; Auker. halfback; Wig
gins. fullback; Ray McMillin, nephew
of the head professor Of foot ball, quar-
ter; Fairbank, end, and Harsh, half
back.
McMillin is rated one Of the best
coaches in the league, and his Agglt
