battle for halfback posts at Wis
consin was thrown wide open to-
dav as Coach Harry Stuhldreher
announced he will start the boys
who prove themselves most adept

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Oct. /.
The status of Charlie Schultz.
who starred at guard against
Washington last week, became a
major issue on the Minnesota
campus today as the Gophers pre-.
pared for the annual game with
Nebraska a week hence. Injured
at Seattle, it was first reported he
would quit football to prevent
occurrences of an old knee injury.
However, when it was learned
X-ray pictures showed no re-
currence of the old injury, it was
rumored parental objection to
aggravating the new injury will
keep him from playing.
