POPULAR WITH THE STUDENTS Chances of Getting Him to Return Next Year Are Sald to Be Excellent—His Record 1 Unequalled. LINCOLN, Dee, b known here this afternoon that | ment Is on foot to get “Bummy” Booth | to take charge of the Nebraska foot ball eleven next fa'l. Booth fs the Toach that made the Cornhuskers famous in foot | ball circles by giving them an eleven in 1902, that defeated Minnesota, 6 to 0. He was head coach during the seasons from 1500 to 1905, Inclusive, and the teams that he put out never were defeated by Kan- sas, Nebraska's greatest rivel The chances of getting Booth to come back to Nebraska are sald to be excel- lent; In fact, it is hinted that he has of- fered to accept the head coaching position It it is tendered him. It is certain now that he would have taken the fob had it been offered to him last season. Since “Bummy” Booth left Nebraska, after the close of the season of 1906, he has been practicing law in New York; but each fall he has gone down to Princeton to assist his alma mater in getting the Tigers iInto trim for thelr annual battle with Yale. This fall he came west to as- sist Coach Roper, a Princeton man, in shaping Missourl for the Thanksgiving day game with Kansas. Roper declares that Booth's aid mede it possible for Mis- souri to win from the Javhawkers, May Be Willing to Return. Beoth quit Nebraska in 1905, after rather & poor season, feeling that he had not glven the Cornhuskers as strong an eleven as some other cosch could have done. He resigned voluntarily, and against the wishes of the athletic board, the mem- bers of which wanted him to remaln. While Booth was at Missouri, just pre- vious to the Thanksgiving day gamo, he wes asked whether ha would accept a position a coach at Nebraska next fall. He refused to commit himself, however, but sald he thought he could give the Cornhuskers another winning gridiron eleven. Several members of the athletic board have been interviewed on the subject of hiring Booth for next fall and all of them are decidedly in favor of getting him It he will come. One saiff that the offer of no other coach would be considered It Booth would just say that he would take the position if it were tendered him It is felt that “Bummy" would like to return to Nebraska to give the Cornhusk- ers a champlonship team, and thus show everybody that he was not at fault when the Cornhuskers lost to Minnesota and Michigan by big scores in 1905, Booth's Fine Record. Booth’s record, while at Nebraska, has never been equaled by any other western conch, in or out of the “Big Eight The Cornhuskers during his relgn were known as the “Big Outsider’ and had several things on any of the teams In the Mie- sourt valley. Minnesota, during Booth's years, found Nebraska one of the hardest games on its schedule. Llinols was three times defeated while he was here. In western foot ball circles Nebraska held a position next to Michigan and Min- nesota, with the Gopheérs once being rele- gated to an inferfor position.
