"MY mOOEST thrill in football?" said Weir. "Well, I guess it would have to be the Notre Dame game here in 1923 when I was a sophomore or our victory over the University of Illinois at Champaign when I was a senior. "I want to choose between them.

The Irish from South Bend were undefeated when they came out to Lincoln and it was the Junior year for the Four Horsemen. Who could forget them? Harry Stuhldreher, Jim Crowley, Don Miller and Elmer Layden. What a great team it was but we beat them, 14 to 7, and for the second straight year the Huskers startled the gridiron world.

"THE TOUGHEST game? fairly easy. The great Washington team of 1925 that we tied 6 to 6. I think if you will look it up you will find that each outfit made exactly the same yardage, 102 yards.

"For sheer power, Washington had Ed added. "Tesreau was a great blocking back and George Wilson hit as hard as any one I ever knew. They were brutal and the nearest to a pro outfit from ttie standpoint of personnel ttian any team we played during my three years with the varsity." Weir figures that track compe- good for 180 yards, but I had a rough time the rest of the way. Locke used to get a big kick out of me lumbering in and I bet he often wondered if I would make it.
