This formal opening of ball season brings forcibly all Nebraskans the gridiron g own university and also the they will meet during the next two mon Though undoubted champions of this sec tion last year, this of 1501 18 the most critical from a ball standpolnt that the University of Nebraska has ever faced.

After years of fruitless efforts the finally managed to get a game scheduled with one of the big tes and, as it veloped later, the best one. Minnesota con sented to play the las the #on, the Thanksgiving day windup, agalnst Nebraska on the latter's gro It was away back in June when the agree- ment was made. The Gophers had been sccond rate for three vears. But Coach Willlams came from the east and he inau gurated a change of tactics that produced phenomenal results. In one short ho developed from tallenders a cha ship team This was done largely by ment of light backs and ends rangement at one time fast fading out of popularity. *The Min nesota Glants” was the new appellation that grew out of the change and this team carried out a career of conauest seldom equaled. Wisconsin, Chicago, Michigan, all the former victs toll victims to fts prowess and none could score save the Badgers, who made five points against the Gopliers. Then came the game with Ne- braska and the Cornhuskers found them relves pitted against the champlons of all the country west of New Jersey Showing with Minnesota, Undaunted came on tho fleld. Pigm side their opponents and twenty pounds to a man. But they pile more than twice as many scores against the northerners as any other team had been able to make. Thus Nebraska started its wedge into the ranks of the topnotchers. Had the plains- men won the game thelr position would have been unquestioned. But they aid not. ®0 it Is insecure. Breaking training, a lot down and all such arguments are advanced on behalf of Minnesota to excuse the score, 20 to 12, and a further test is demanded of Nebraska 8o now Bummy Booth's babes must vouch for their feat of last Thanksgiving day. They have secured games with both Wis- consin and Minnesota, undoubtedly the two leaders of the blg bunch, and the time to prove thelr prowess is coming. A victory over elther team, or very close games with both, will be enough to satisty everyone that Nebraska deserves a place in the list of superior western teams. To that end Coach Booth is now hard at work on the finest bunch of material, new and old, that has ever come out to try for places on the Nebraska team What a successful issue in great games would mean to the Nebraskans can hardly be overestimated. They would then be in line to be taken on by any col- lege in the Unlted States. Two years ago Wisconsin went east and played Yale to a standstill. Captain Pat O'Dea, star kickor and nothing else, lost as certain a victory as the Badgers ever had in sight. The first thing the western hoys did was to rush the ball right down to the Yale ffteen-yard line. O'Dea played fullback, but he never carried the ball, doiug Kicking and nothing else. This style of victory did not suit him for he was not getting in the game. So, despite the fact that straight-lino bucks had proven good for sevonty-five yards without a halt, he broke In and stopped progress just at that critieal moment. Lit- tle “Activity” Tratt, quarterback, had calleq for another winning line buck play. How Wisconsin Loat. eason mpion- the abandon a team ar- absolute, but now by the prospect 2 they outweighed Nevraska were be near these two “Change that!" yelled O'Dea, and then he gave the signal for a drop kick at that goal. He missed and the Wisconsin chance to Reore was gone. blues had the ball and a halfback got loose around an end. O'Dea was playing back and he should have caught the runner. But he was never a good tackler and he missad this fellow a yard. The rest of the way was clear. That is how Yale scored against Wiscon- | &ln, winning the game, and how Wisconsin d1d not score, losing. It is also why Cap- tain Arthur Curils of this fall's team sald, when askod it would have any star Kickers this year “I hope not not kickors." Had it not been for those fndividual er- rors of judgment and play Wisconsin would have defeated Yale. In other respects the team exhibited superiority at several points All this merely goes to show how good westorn foot ball teams are roally to be and how high up Nebraska will stand can it win & place on a per them.

There was no stipulation 88 to the distance the ball should be kicked in such cases and the committee has now 8o legislated that it must be sent a certain distance. This is done to prevent the side having the ball kicking it a few yards and then falling on it for another down. The subject of time taken out for injuries was acted upon.

Through his business and exceutive ability and a knowledge of the situation borne of long residence the university he {s competent for the position and affairs in that department will un- loubtedly flourish under his care. Assoclated with Mr. Smiley is Dr W. Hetherington, a member of the faculty and at the head of the department of athletics In all lines. Coach Murphy has been retained and wiil probably, because of the better class of materfal, be able to work wonders with the Tiger teum. One of his strong points is popularity with the | men who are uuder his instruction. They will do anything and everything for him | and the fact lends great spirit to their work.

At Kansas State university the fcot ball outlook 1& fairly promising. The entire | system of athletics in the institution has been placed upon a very firm basis by the creation of the position of college athletic manager.

Oue atlon of the warmth with which the rit of victory glows in them this season may be found in the fact that the aspirants reported for trainiok | about three weeks carlier than usual.

A feature of the foot ball at Kansas unl- versity Is the tremendous support it gets at home. No 6chool its size in the west ex- hibits the enthusiasm found among the Jay- | hawkere. The spirit at Nebraska does not | equal it. Linzolnites will never forget the time four years ago when a horde of Kan- sans, students, business wmen and people from all walks of life came up to the Ne- braska capital and left wads of money be- hind because the Bugeaters were suporior at foot ball. Whatever team Kansas finally turns out, it will receive more love and material support from the students and out- siders at Lawrence than any team in this part of the country. only four members of the old team would return, but the scare is now past men have shown up for training or will| appear shortly and the college Is greatly elated in consequence | Among the worst lo m is that of Captain Algie, the eud of last season.

Vincent, all wer, ver for But there are two more experienced men Foremost, and one who will probably be the star of this year am, |3 Stringer, undoubtedly the greatest end that ever played in this part of the west. Stringer I8 arge enough to play anywhere on the team ighing 200 pounds, but he combines with | that superb size a quickness and agility which render him the most valuable kind of | an end. The rapidity necessary to flll‘that | position successtully generaMy comes only with smaller men, and the one trouble al- vays experienced Is that an end who is fast eoough is not heavy cnough to smash inter- fere thoroughly and continuously throughout a game. That is just what Stringer can do. He played with the Nebraska team in '07 and ‘95 and was the hit of the cleven. Then neglect of studles compeiled him to ston foot ball and since that time there has besn n constant effort to get him back. In '08 Stringer weighed only 180 pounds and be is | w size, belng more mature. The latest news from the university gril- iron {s that this phenomenal foot ball player has developed a new ability that may pull him oft the line altogether. Kicking has been much of the work at the South Bend tralaing camp, and in this department Stringer has shone. Coach Booth is now thinking seriously of playing Stringer as a fullback. At defensive work he would cer- 7 be the safest and at the same time the meanest man to play back and tackle breakaways that could be found 1t this is done it will probably mean that Kingsbury wil) go back to his old place at tackle, He I5 another old player, and a crackerjack, 100, who will be with the team | | again this year after a lay-off of two years. In 08 King playod a great tuckle, and that is hig natural position. He is also a fair kicker, and Booth expected to play him back till Stringer commenced o put so well With Stringer back Kingsbury can play his old tackle. That will shove Brew, who hal the place as captain last year, in one pofat to guard. Aud that place is now empty. Shedd o Promising Candidate, This will leave, however, but one heavy end. Shedd, a Lincoln High school boy, has | entered’ the university and wiil certainly ¥y foot ball. He weighs 159 pounds and played end for the IHigh school four | years. Whenever he has lined up against the ‘varsity he has held his own and has often played all around his opponent. With this man on one end and Stringer on the her nothing more cou'd be asked for tho: ositlons. With the persounel of the line practically | eertain now, excepting perhaps one position, there is only the back field to look after. and here again is a host of material, As has been said, either Kingsbury or Stringer will doubtless play fullback. For halves Bender, Crandall, Neilson, Hunter and halt a dozen others are striving to be competent Littie doubt exists as to quarterback. Raiph Drain, who played the pesition all last year, will in all probability squat again in the old place behind center. He is small, but what he can do is best told by the fact that he played on the first team three years desplte his size, either at quarter or end. Captain Westover has just installed an- other feature in training which 1s new to the school. That Is a tackling dumnw. It has been set up on the campus in a corner of the gridiron, and all novitlates are nov spending hours a day running flercely at a big canvas dummy which swings tantaliz- tngly back and forth, leaving the ground at a certain number of yards trom It and mak- ing a diving tackle through the air in attempt to catch the elusive dummy, Two more Important moves have just been made at the university which serve to en- hanca considerably the foot ball outlook For the first time in the history of the schoo! it has been determined to have a sal- TENNIS MATCH IS UNDECIDED Wwe r Each Differe Young and Have Two tets When of Opi Arises as to Continuance, The outcome of the tennis finals in the Athletic askociation’s championship tour- ney is now a matter for decision in commit- tee rather than on the courts. The score stands two sets each for Young and Web- ster and the match bas been referred to Hill, Bennett and Klumpp, acting as cup committee The match has been greatly delaved by rainy weather and the eingles only came to the final round on last Thursday. Web- ster, who bas done a deal of quiet train- ing on the Shriuer courts within the last two years, blossomed out as a full fledged star and gave the veteran Young a hard race for first money. In the first set the games stood four all when Webster made a strong rally and took the succeeding two. The younger player was able to place his balls admir- ably. repeatedly passing Young at the net and dropping within an Inch or two of the boundary line. The set was evenly con- tosted, almost every game running to de Young then realized that the situation was serious and played with the care and accuracy which distinguishes his best form He had no difculty in taking the next set 6-2, with twenty-nine points against Web- slers' soventeen, He maintalned the same pace in the third set, taking it 6-1, with twenty-geven points to his opponent's fif- teen. Webster still appeared fresh, how- ever, and managed to draw out the fourth sot 0-2, thirty-cne points to twenty-one. At the conclusion of the fourth set it was 6:30 p. m. and the sun was on the point of dipping beneath the western prairie. Young wes of the opinion that the match should be postponed on the ground that the succeeding set would Inevitably be in- terrupted by darkness. Webster took a contrary view, believing that the match was developing into a of endurance In which the odds rather lay with him. He preferred to continue the play then or never and the situation was laid before the committee.

One disastrous defeat at the end of each season has kepl them down Because of this all foot ball authorities that it s Wisconsin's time to win this year if ever.

Wisconsin May Come We The laie: feature of the Wisconsin-Ne- braska relations is, however, the proposi- tion for a return game, which has been tentatively projected by Wisconsin. Grad- | uate Manager Kilpatrick sald a few weeks ago that if Nebraska defeated Wisconsin or played a close game with the Badgers he would want nothing better than a post season return game in the west, providing the financial end of the affalr could be suc- cossfully arranged. This is of peculiar interest to Omaha lov- ers of the sport, for the Gate City would| certainly be the location of that game. To| bring the famous Badgers out here would | be a decided coup, and the game would at- tract attention the country over, besides drawing spectators from throughout the middle west.
