Young, Chris Mathis and Marvin Paul contributed the high of the afternoon ball-lugging, while Harold Prahm, Beatrice veteran, was doing a fine Job of blocking. Young Scores Twice. Young twice crossed the goal line during the afternoon's workout. He skipped across on a line play for the first tally, after rrms of 20 to 30 yards bv the Norfolk redhead had place the ball in scoring position. A Young-to-Milne pass, good for 15 yards, spotted the ball on the five-yard marker and set up the pins for the second touchdown.

Mathis, in addition to running the Paul-Young-Frahm backfleld in good shape, contributed several runs of good yardage. Paul, likewise, chalked up good jaunts during the short while he was on the field. Broken Field It was a particularly good day for the broken field runners, with wal- ly Marrow. Bob Manley and Brown also breaking loose, witli sjbarkling runs. Marrow gave a fla.sh of old-time form when he through a broken field for 20 yards, while Manley contributed several gains in the first quarter of the opening game and Brown ran a kickoff back for 25 yards and later broke loose on a long run to the goal line, only to have the ball recalled because of an Illegal pass play.

In the line, the work of Ends Hokuf, Prucka, Byrnes and Nesmith: Tackles Rhea and Kroger; Guard Justice and Centers McPherson and Ely stood out. Hokuf and Mesmlth. Hokuf was smearing everything that came hl.s way, while Nesmith, Wauneta sophomore, was racing down under punts and showing particular ability on the receiving end of several forward passes. Rhea also was having a big afternoon getting down under the pas.ses. The Nebraska squad started its "one a day" practice program Thur.sday, morning practice being abandoned with the opening of cla.ss room activitle.s.

As a matter of fact, the attitude of the West Point authorities is an injustice to the fine young Americans enrolled at the New York academy.

Surely the future generals could assemble a football team capable of worthily representing the institution and do it without offending so flagrantly against the standards and the spirit of square Sportsmanship.

Their coming merely proves that the ambition to throw self in with the live ones in athletics recognizes no boundary and knows no state line. Meantime, young Mr. Henrlon of Wichita will be welcome.
