 New York, Dec. 16 (UP0 = Wear down the enemy, then score that's the kind of football Nebraska Big Six champions, will throw against Stanford in the Rose Bowl.
 Nebraska is coached by Major Eff" Jones who learned football at West Point. The majors offenSe is built along military lines. He believes that football is 8 game for 22-even 33-men rather than Il. His team stress power and that was the formula for Nebraska's success this year when its only loss in nine games was to mighty Minnesota.
 According to Jones, the team he takes west on December 19 is one without stars.
 "A great bunch of boys that have the desire to play and the will to win," Jones says. There aren't any outstanding stars on the club and the competition for each position has been keen. Perhaps those fac- tors have made them as great as l really think they are"
 He had 8 wealth of of good ma- terial, including players made-to- order for the Jones system. That plus balance, experience and cap- able backs made the Cornhuskers click.
 Until midway through the season, Jones practiced the two-team sys- tefn with great success. He invart- ably alternated his first and second units by periods during his first three seasons at Nebraska. This year he started with the same plan, then changed in the Pittsburgh game and after that his substitutes never went in as complete units.
 Whether Jones will revert to the two-unit system in the Rose Bowl is a matter of speculation. Only Jones know-and he won't talk.
 In direct contrast to Stanford's tricky attack from a ''r" formation, Nebraska relies chiefly on power plays with the tailback hitting off tackle and the fullback driving through the middle. Nebraska uses the single wingback most of the time and the double wing on rare ocvcasions. The defense primarily is 6-2-2-1, although 5-3-2-1 is sometimes used against passing teams.
 Nebraskais line averages 191 pounds a man and only yielded three touchdowns this evening. The backfield starters average lS9 mounds
 Should Have Won
 The Cornhuskers' only loss of the season was to Minnesota, 13-7. That was Nebraska,s first game of the year and there are some Cornhusk- CT packers who insist Nebraska should have won because Butch Luther made a 66-yard touchdown dash only to be called back be- cause both teams were offside. And to win, Minnesota had to score its touchdown on a long pass in the final period.
 Nebraska's leading back is Harry Hopp powerful runner who over- aged ASA yards in 152 attempts and does most of the blocking. The speed merchant is Walter Butch" Luther who operates on reverse plays. Vike Francis, brother of Sam Eho was an all-Alnerica at Neb- raska in 1886, is the teams plung- ing back. He's the fellow who kick ed a third period field goal that halted Pittsburgh 9-7 after he had missed a conversion earlier in the game. Francis, a cocky fellow, said he missed the conversion on pur- pose so he could add a dramatic touch" to the game. Herman Roh- rig is the teams. best kicker and passer.
 High Scorers
 Francis is the leading scorer with four touchdowns, eight conversions for 35 points while Luther is second with 30 points.
 In the line, Nebraska is strong from end to end. The ends are Fred Preston and Roy Prochaska. The tackles are Royal (King Kong) Kahler and Forrest Behm. At guard are Warren Alison, one of the best guards of 1940, and Ed Schwartkopf, one of the few guards that Minne- sota had trouble with this year. Center is Bob Barruss, player who hasn't made wild pass from his position in three years.
