The 1925 eleven at Nebraska inaugurated its season by featuring defensive fotball. It was necessary to stop Red Grange in the opening game and, although the Corn- huskers made good, the lieargmen of last year never were really able to break away from the defensive racket until they enjoyed their first breathing spell in getting ready for the climax with Notre Dame. The last ten days of the season, however, were devoted chiefly to the offensive phases of the pigskin pastime and the result was gratifying to Nebraska followers, as the Huskers reeled off two touchdowns during the opening period, compiling an advantage which had the flat on their backs and taking the count.

A gruelling scrimmage Joust of varsity against varsity rounded out the practice. Developing a Kicker. Itevelopment of a depeeidable kicker again Is a problem, just as It was last fall. The pessimists of 1925 were fearful that Nebraska would be weak at the punting game, but Captain Hd Wolr jumped In to fill the gap and had the edge over nearly every opposing kicker ilurlng the campaign.

Conch Hearg and his helpers are concentrating on the problem and there Is no to question that the problem will be solved. Most promising of the kicking to date are Avard and Hrown Hlmllar concentration Is to be given the development of a forward passing offensive. Hearg Is testing 4 he passing ability of a half dozen backfleld candidates, while drilling the ends In the tricks of pulling down the aerial flips.
