A line must work shoulder to shoulder In perfect co-ordination i and nobody knows until after the Drake game whether the new men will fit Into the machine or not. Besides the green timber in the line there are Holm, Howell, Beck of the probable backfield starters who are also green. A schedule with as tough a foe as Drake on the first date is not an ideal arrangement, but both camps were forced into it because of unavoidable circumstances. Both teams have been driven harder than they would have been ordinarily but with these obvious disadvantages there is also a chance that Nebraska, and Drake, too, foe that matter, may benefit In case neither eleven is weakened by injuries. Should Kill or Cure.

It means a baptism of fire for the new men right off the bat. It should either kill or cure the Huskers for the Missouri Tigers a week trom Saturday. And for Drake it may aid them in their tussle with the navy midshipmen. And it may not. But if an easy foe Is trampled on In the first tilt of the season It generally generates too much optimism.

The use of the stadium was offered Coach Solem any time during the day excepting between 4 and 5 p. UL, when the 1926 machine will receive the final tuning up. This drill will be confined principally to punting, passing and limbering up exercises. Solem will take his squad to a field near Lincoln and there put it thru its paces the last time. The squad will be brought to the stadium then for the purpose of getting a of the sod and to try the air currents in punting.

Coach Bearg was making no predictions. He felt exactly as did Solem that anything is likely to happen. Most of the minor which the Huskers are carrying hare been caused by wet weather.

A big rally will be held at the coliseum Friday evening starting at Coach Bearg, Henry Schulte and Ed Weir are on the list of speakers.

I saw Johnny Bender do those Incomparable aerial stunts as would be tacklers plunged at him only to miss him ridiculously. 8aw Bender -Score. I followed Nebraska to Kansas in 1903 and split my lungs when this same Bender made that scamper off the Kansas right end for his eighty yard run for the only score of the game.

Then I came to Drake and have followed the football fortunes of my alma mater ever since. Nebraska was my first love. Her system of play and the traditions of the institution athletically as well as scholastically have always remained to me Her contact with coming varsity men thruout the state of Nebraska remains the most Intimate and binding of any Institution In the country. Babies are first taught the Later they learn to prattle "Mother." It becomes an honor for any boy in the state to aspire to a place on the Nebraska varsity. This Is as it should be.

But Drake, too, has her traditions, her loyalties, her achievements and her ambitions. My alma mater is modest about herself. She enrolls fewer men than any front rank football Institution In the country. Her athletic plant has been very ordinary until just last year when she built the beautiful new stadium and followed immediately with the field house which would bring honor to any campus In America. The field house will be opened this fall at homecoming time.
