VETERAN STARS COME BACK By JAMES E. LAWRBNCE. LINCOLN, Aug. 2l.—(Special.)~Guy E. Reed, athletic manager of the Oorn- huskers, has overturned every precedent in {ssuing his preliminary statement rel- ative to the outlook of the Cornhuskers for the gridiron semson af 5. Reed fairly radiates sunshine and prediots the Huskers will have oneé of the best sea- sons in recent years. In view of remark- able success of the past four ysars, Husker boosters will bave to admit that s some optimism. p Uing e ot Reed's statement comes in.the. form of an attractivé attiedhile, ‘with & picture of Captain Dick Rutherford and the dates of the games on one side. On. the re- verse side, the Nebraska manager has the following sunshine to hand out: “The prospects for & great ‘®utball team were never. brighter. -Fortifjed.with & good record for the past five yearsand strengthened by the last year's freshmen Squad, which was the best in years, it is expected that ‘the 1915 team will ' make agreeable history. The veterans, who { will return to the game, are: Captain Rutherford, Corey, Abbott, Shields, Balls, Porter, Seltzer, Doyle and Caley. From among the freshmen Cook, Shaw Riddell, Moser, the two Kositsskys, Gardner, Kelly, Hoadley, Minnick, Donnegan, Proctor and Otopolik look like varsity | calibre man. In addition from among the isecond string men, Reese, Norris, Shel- don, Halbersleben, Dale and Wilson will make strong bids for positions. “The schedule this year comprises four Missouri Valley universities, the cham- plon intercoliegiate team of Kansas, the champlon intercollegiate team of Ne- braska, one western conference umiver- sity and Notre Dame of national fame. Open with Drake. ““The opening game with Drake univer- sity will be the biggest game that Ne- |braska has ever undertaken for the open- !ing game of the season. This game has been designated as high school - benefit #ame. All of the high school boys of the state, who can present a card from thelr | prinetpal or superintendent that they are Hin attendance, will be given free admis- sfon. An effort is being made :to get Mayor Bryan of Lincoln and Mayor Dahlman of Omaha to Atage the prelimi- naries with Governor Morehead as ref- eree. | “Washburn has been one of the strong early games of the schedule for the last few years and will be the second game of the schedyle. The Kansas Aggles are | to be coached by Johnny Bender of Corn. husker fame. This will add interest to the game and will make the result de- cldedly uncertaln. Notre Dame, fresh from a serles with enviable fecordd, will invade Cornhusker territory for the first time.' Jowa State college of Ames, with a mew coaching staff, will endeavor to get revenge for recent defeats, having | employed a new foot ball comch to ald out our friend, Clyde Williams. This game will be staged at Ames. Next comes Ncbraska Wesleyan, which bas will afford one of the Bigwest games the year. With excellent material -3 work upon and a new, tried coath to lead them, the Jayhawkers hope to téra the | tables. The last game of the season witir Jowa university will be the annual home- coming game. This game has be the annual battle royal and est game on the Combusker Coach Hawley will again lead & crowd of warriors, if pre-season dope tan be relied upon.” Stiehm on Vhestion, Coach Jumbo Stiehm is spending the month of August in the Wisconsin woods, | but will return to Lincoln about Beptem- ! ber 1.
