Carideo Team In Line Clash With Cornell In 'Ragweed' Classic BY BILL CORUM. NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (INS) A certain Mr. Stanley Lomax, a Cornellian from far above Cayuga's waters, which he seldom tasted, has approached me with a proposition relative to the Ragweed Bowl game in Oshkosh, on February 31. Briefly, Mr.

Lomax's proposal is far Cornell to play Missouri for the Ragweed Bowl gate and a side bet of 15 cents. This sporting proposition has been duly forwarded to Dr. Frank Carideo, Missouri's miracle coach and producer of football's famous point-a-century machine. BY GREGG McBRIDE. Given a fair break in the weather, the attendance at the Nebraska-Pittsburgh football game next Saturday may hang up a new crowd record for Memorial stadium, the home of th Cornhuskers.

This is the information passed along by John K. Selleck, business manage of athletics. Selleck is a busy man this week as the three ticket offfices continue to ring the cash register bell with sales of last-minute purchasers of game ducats. Slightly Hesitant. Bras1 GRIFFIN PLANS ENTER WESTERN Head of Lincoln's Club Talks of Transfer To Class A Loop.

The Nebraska State baseball league took orders today from a new president, J. Roy Carter of Norfolk, who was elected at the annual meeting Monday in Lincoln to succeed James E. Beltzer of Lincoln, who resigned. The meeting was featured by the Lincoln club's notice of intention to seek a Western league affiliation. However, Dale Gear, chief of the bigger loop, informed the Associated Press Monday night at Topeka, that he knows of no vacancy in the circuit which Lincoln might fill.

Francis "Pug" Griffin, owner-manager of the Lincoln team, plans to investigate the situation at the Western league meeting Thursday in Des Moines. Nebraska League Willing. The Nebraska league agreed to permit Lincoln to withdraw if Griffin will get the loop a substitute town not later than Jan. 1. Rex Stucker of Sioux Falls, S.

was re-elected vice president and Bernie Rothenberger of Beatrice was made temporary secretary. Rothenberger declined to take the job permanently. Carter, who was secretary-treasurer last year, will combine the treasurer's duties with the presidency. The salary question was laid aside while the officials try to increase the league circuit to six clubs. Gear Tells New Story.

Tuesday developments indicated that League President Gear either had been, misquoted or had ex perienced a change of heart. Grif fin announced Tuesday morning that he had been in communica tion with Gear, who had just called via long distance phone. "Gear told me," Griffin said, "that at least two vacancies in the league- circuit -might available for Lincoln. He mentioned both Topeka and Rock Island as possi ble withdrawals from the circuit, while the owner of a third club was considering a transfer.

PERMITS NO REST Sutherland Bears Down In Preparing: Pitt For Nebraska Game. PITTSBURGH, Nov. 6 (Special) Pitt, rated by many as the mightiest football team in the east, isn't taking any chances with the Nebraska game at Lincoln Saturday. Coming out of the Notre Dame battle last Saturday in good shape, the Panther squad was given no rest by Coach Jock Sutherland as preparations began for the Cornhuskers. Last night, Sutherland sent the team through a brisk dummy scrimmage in the rain against Nebraska plays.

Another scrim mage is listed for today. Tomor row there will be a light drill and then the team will depart at midnight for the trek west. Two Stops On the Way. One stop is to be made at Chi cago Thursday, when the team will hold a short practice. Another is scheduled for Omaha Friday to finish all preparations before the game Saturday.

Nebraska has been well scouted by End Coach Eddie Hirschberg, who captained the 1931 Pitt team that walloped Nebraska, 40 to 0. Hirschberg watched Nebraska in three games this fall and came back with a bulging notebook of single and double wingback, punt and box formations, which caused Dr. Sutherland to order the extra workouts this week. Card Lined Up For Thursday Grapple The bewhiskered Preacher Hogue of Los Angeles and Rough- house Nelson of Hamilton, Canada, have been signed to meet in the 20-minute, one-fall preliminary bout at the 4-H arena Thursday night. Steve Savage will oppose Michael Gettson in the main event, a finish match, two falls out of three, under Graeco-Roman rules, and Rowdy Pat McGill takes on Mike Brendel of Austria in the 30-minute and semi-windup.

Hogue and Brendel will be mak ing their first Lincoln appear ance. Although Brendel was due to appear against Mike Markoff in a bout here a week ago, he had the misfortune to fall afoul of one of Savage's vicious toe holds the night prior to his scheduled Capi tal City showing and was forced to cancel the latter, due to an covered nearly an hour before Brendel" gave up to Steve. Gettson was due to arrive in Lincoln Tuesday for early preparations, while Savage will train in Omaha and arrive in Lincoln Thursday.

6 (AP) Louisiana State university students began digging in their jeans today for the wherewithal to repay Huey P. Long for his generosity in financing their mass descent on Nashville and the L. S. football game Saturday before last. 1 The senator passed the word around the campus here yesterday that he expected students, and the many townsfolk who signed laundry checks as I.

O. at $7 a head, to "pay back." Long had turned Santa Claus, in a fit of generosity, and handed out fistfulls of currency so that his specially promoted trip to Nashville might be a roaring success. And it was, thanks to the senator. E. N.

Jackson, university business manager, estimated that all the money would be paid back within two months. Jackson said that $275 had been paid of the $3,500 expended by Senator Long and that ihe money was rolling back into senatorial possession at the rate of $40 a day. Asked whether he expected to get back his money, Long said: "Well, I might lose about $100 you know, we never lose much." Amateur Football.

Through out the Dirikln realm there is none to say the Gophers nay! Nebraska Mentor Works Sly Scheme On Husker Varsity Squad. Dana Xenephon Bible, patron of the sign painters' art and amateur movie exhibitions, now presents the freshman "sandwich man." It's a new wrinkle developed by the resourceful Nebraska coach, who lies awake nights thinking up barbed epigrams to post i screaming colors around the premises where his skers can't help seeing them. The immediate reason for it is that Pitt's OAkah.wbu Panthers are coming to Lincoln next Saturday for their Nebraska game, biennially played in the Nebraska stadium the Panthers who smote down uprising Notre Dame last Saturday.

Panthers Impersonated. Around their necks the fresh man "sandwich men" wear placards bearing names of Pitt players they are trying their level best to impersonate for the benefit of an unappreciative varsity. That's only part of Bibles scheme in visual art that underlies a lot of success in football. Every Nebraska football game is recorded by a movie camera. The slow motion film version shows each player his weaknesses and it discourages loafing.

The halfback who ditched his blocking assignment or the retreating end caught picking dais ies will be embarrassed no end, when, in the presence of all his teammates and the coach at the weekly movie of the previous Saturday's game, the pictures show him derelict in duty. The boys do, try to look good in the movies. Unpleasant Reminders. With no current film on hand because Nebraska was idle last Saturday, Bible treated his boys Monday to a second-run double feature. The show wasn't so hot.

One film was entitled "Nebras ka's 0-0 Tie With Pitt in 1932," and the other, "Pitt 6-0 Vic- Or Why Nebraska Didn't Go to the Rose Bowl in 1933." There was no movie of the 40-0 drubbing Pitt handed Nebraska inI93'l, hut there -used to "be" a most disturbing reminder of it a sign hanging in the Nebraska dressing room before the next game with Pitt, the 0-0 tie in 193Z.

avw 1 Ev II LINCOLN POINTS FOR CRETE HIGH Ballermen On Their Toes In Getting Ready For Klein Team. Football supremacy in Corn- husker prep circles was the goal held in view by the Lincoln high grid squad Monday as Coach Bailer pointed his charges toward their clash of next Friday at Crete. The entire squad, with the exception of Rohrig, was used in the lengthy session, which saw work on new plays and formations. The stellar Red and Black halfback was held on the sidelines to allow his leg injury full opportunity to mend. Crete is the pivot around which this fall's state high school football championship may revolve.

The Cardinals are in a good position to wreck a lot of titular hopes. Although their aspirations were jarred by the 7 to 7 tie with Jackson last week, "Pop" Klein's big huskies still stand in Lincoln's path. North Platte, the other out standing contender, likewise has to hurdle the Crete barrier before the season is over. Bailer Streaaet Speed.

Can-deo's Tearing Tigers in the Hag-weed Bowl, on the ground that, after all, Missouri had scored a touchdown against Chicago. But when it was pointed out to Mr. Lomax that this score was purely inadvertent and in no wise to be held against Dr. Carideo, he decided to propose the match to the proper authorities at Ithaca, come what would so long as it wasn't touchdowns. One of my scouts, who saw the Chicago-Missouri game, promptly wired me not to hold that touchdown against Dr.

Carideo. Coach Grants Forgiveness. "It was all an accident, Bill," wired my scout, "a kick was blocked and the ball rolled over the Chicago goal line. All the Tearing Tigers immediately fell down, as they have been coached to do when in doubt. You can readily imagine the chagrin of the young man under whom the ball was found, when the referes came around and picked him up.

"The player was badly shaken by the incident and had to be taken out of the game, but 1 am told that Carideo forgave him on the train back to Columbia. After all, you know, these are only boys." After this heartbreaking upset. Dr. Carideo worked like a Trojan with his reverse passive and running game through the following week, and it was a great tribute to his coaching that the Tearing Tigers were on their heels again in time for the Oklahoma game. Tigers Themselves Again.

Against the Sooners, they were back in mid-season form, losing by the magnificent count of 31 to 0. Their passive resistance in this bruising battle would have done Gandhi proud. In fact, the Tearing Tigers "hadT Ma-" hatma ever had except a sheet. Fearing another Chicago debacle, Coach Carideo had worked out a trick play that will be the talk of the middle west for years to come. Whenever the ball was loose, the Tigers promptly fell down, as usual, but this time they fell on their backs.

Thus, with Missouri clicking along like the well polished-off machine Ut is, Mr Lomax's generous offer to send Cornell's conquistadors to the Ragweed Bowl will have a wide appeal. Indeed, the suggestion has been received so enthusiastically on all sides that I make bold to predict that if the game is arranged it will play to a standing-room-only crowd. That is, if they neglect to put in any seats. Methodist Prep For Doane Battle Having spoiled two homecoming celebrations in as many weeks, at Midland and York, Nebraska Wes-leyan's Plainsmen will attempt to remain on the right side of tha ledger this week when the Farley-men meet Doane Friday night in the feature of the 1934 Wesleyan homecoming festivities.

Pre-season estimates placed the Pitt-Nebraska throng at 30,000 Last week, Selleck revised his fiur with the prediction the thron would reach at least 33,000 Tuesday John K. hinted the at tendance would pass the 35,000 mark if fair weather prevails and there is a last-minute rush, at the box office. The ticket situation Tuesday afternoon showed 3,000 tickets still available in the reserved section, which for this game is the entire stadium (28,400 capacity).

There were 3,500 of the 4,500 general admission bleacher seats still to be sold. If necessary, the Corn-husker management is prepared to sell 4,000 or more ducats for standing room on an elevated platform back of the south end zone. This latter section will sell at $1.50 a head, the same as the bleacher seats. The stadium record was set in the Nebraska-Notre Dame game of 1925 when a "paid gate" of 37,100 clicked the turnstiles. For the Husker-Irish game, parcade seats were sold in front of each stadium tier.

New Record Assured. Regardless of the weather, the 1934 Cornhuskers are certain Saturday to shoot to a new season attendance record. The best previous year was in 1933, when saw the Cornhuskers in action. The Pitt-Nebraska game Saturday, therefore, needs only to draw 32,500 to top the '33 mark and this is assured. Some idea of the increased attendance is seen in the fact that the 1934 Huskers apparently are assured of drawing more than 200,000, as compared with 158,173 in 1933, 148,884 in 1931 and in 1932.

I confess I am not in position to pass accurate judgment on the class or quality of the football played by this year's Princeton team, but the conviction grips me that Old Nassau hasn't proved its case against stern opposition, wherefore I am quite unable to conceive that the Jersey Tigers could do a substantially better job than Michigan of surviving the battering of the Gopher attack, once the old engineer, meaning Bernie Bierman, has turned on all the power.

Any analysis of Princeton's potentialities that I might attempt might be subject to criticism. As to Minnesota, I have first-hand information. was my rare pleasure -to be one of those present while the Gophers were riding over and literally demolishing the Wolverines, and what I saw disposed of every doubt. Getting to the point quickly, I here proclaim that the Gophers of 1934 have even more than it takes they fulfill every requirement in the assembling; of my ideal of the "perfect football team." MICHIGAN, I confess, waged a stubborn, spirited battle for some 30 gruelling minutes, but after that the proceedings were more of a shambles than a game of football between evenly matched contestants. Held scoreless during the first half, the penfUp punch and power of Minnesota machine was unleashed in all its might and fury.

A weary Michigan eleven then felt the full force of a Gopher attack which swept to five touchdowns; an offensive that crossed the Wolverines' final lime line to a sixth touchdown that was nullified by the infliction of a technical penalty against the Bierman avalanche; a drive that was within a scant yard of a seventh touchdown when the final pop of the timer's pistol halted the carnage. While Minnesota's starting lineup doubtless could stand the pace of a full 60 minutes of battling, the belief gripped me that much of the Goph en' tremendous strength rests in their replacements. The plan of battle conceived by Coach Bierman evidently is based on a strategy scheme which assign to the startlnr team the task of hlt-and-hammer until the opposition has been softened for the knockout punch. When the psychological moment has arrived, the seeond team swarms on the field to achieve definite scoring results, and then comet the third team to make the rout complete. IN ALL departments physically, spiritually and in numbers the Gopher team that annihilated proud old Michigan was invincible.

Imagine, if you can, a team so powerful and resourceful that its third-string is as potent as its first. A giant third-string tackle it may be a guard, an end or a back strides from the sideline bench, takes his station in the lineup and promptly proceeds to bowl over an opponent and dump him on his shoulder-blades. Like as not, this third-string tackle measures six feet-six and balances the beam at 225 pounds. That's the true picture, not an exaggeration, of the Gophers of 1934. Back of the line, where the ball-carriers hold forth, there is brawn, speed, elusiveness and the burning impulse to go places with the leather sphere.

Outstanding in the backfield, to complete the business of mangling the Wolverines, were Captain Lund and Alphonse, a superb brace of halfbacks, and Kostka, 215 ds possibly more of fullback whose terrific line plunges have shattered every forward wall that has sought to bring him down.
