That the Omaha team can get all the

to reason that baso ball will take up most
of the time, providing the weather is suit,

The weather at Joplln last year wus the
worst any ball team could encounter.
The Rourkes had only nbout three or four
days during their twenty-five-day stay
In which they could get out and play ball.
But Rourko belleven that the weather '.n
Oklahoma City is different than that of
Joplln and at least Is hoping for somo
good workouts. Another feature which
did not appeal to Rourke at Joplln wus
the Indifferent way In which tho people
of Joplln looked upon the Omaha team.

fans did not turn out. nnd It was a losing

LINCOLN. Jan. 25. (fipeclal.) The
Cornhusker athletes are having a mlghtv
busy season of preparation Just now on
the eve of the Missouri valley conference
basket ball season and the out-of-door
sport on the track. Indoor practice for
track athletics started this week under
the direction of both Coach Sttehm and
K'a"af?r ' 'l? '.
brought out an excellent and formidable
array of material from which Reed will
select the; members of his track squad.
The Tenement Dwellers will first select
a team to' participate la the Kansus. City
Indoor meet, which Is held on March 1,
Lor only a little more than a month away
All the schools In he Missouri Valley
conference generally enter teams In this
event, but It generally simmers down to
a struggle between th eblg rival schools
of the valley Missouri, Kansas, Ames
and Nebraska. Missouri, with Its grand
meet
In the sprints the Dwellers have three
men who 'will give any school In th
west a close run. May Is the veteran of
the trio this being his third year as u
Cornhusker. His work last senBon Justi
fied the prediction of the coaches that lit;
would fill in the gap occasioned by tho
lobs of the stellar Reed. Kumwlnkel en
a high school sprinter did great things for
the York High school aiW Reese ,vas
equally as strong In thq northwestern
part of the,' state, where ho represented
the Randolph High school on the truck
Roth of them are ten second men already
strong, powerful runners, who are sura
to Improve under the careful coaching of
Roed and Stlehm.
Wiley, another York High school man,
has also shown excellent form In the
sprints and probably will be heard from
before the end of the season. Wherry, a
member of the squad last spring, is eligi
ble ugaln this year.
Two Vrtcrnu 1'ole Vaiiler.
In the pole vault an event In wnlch
Nebraska wus weak last year, 'the Tene
ment Dwellers hav two veterans of
former years. Reavls and Llndstrom
both reported at the Initial practice and
have been worklrfg all week. Llndstrum
broke the Cornhusker record In the vault
at the Indoor meet In Omaha twq year?
ago and Reavls has a record of something
like U feet 6 Inches. Reed will have no
occasion for worry ylth these two men
ln the running.
In the weight events the Tenement
squad has a wealth of material. Dewey
Harmon, the big Cornhusker foot ball
star, upon whom has fallen the burden of
representing Nebraska In tho weight
events the past two seasons, is still
eligible. Harmon was good enough tn
win from all competeltors In the Missouri
Valley schools last season, but he will
not be able to defeat his own teammates
this season If the new men duplicate the
records made by them while they were
freshmen.
Reese Is a shotputter of exceptional
merit, while Hansen, Stryker and I'rnW
wood have also shown as much if not
more ability than Harmon.
For dnce It looks as though Nebraska
would have a good man In the high Junvp,
Young Wiley has a record of 5 feet 10(4
Inches as a high sohool athlete, made at
the meet of the Nebraska Intersoholasttc
association In Lincoln two years ago.

record close to 6 feet, and there are sev

IIY ILVIli: K. Ul.l.lO'lT.
This article Is written on tho premise
that the plan of coaching foot ball teams
at the University ot Nebraska Is not sat
isfactorythat It Is not productive of as
efficient elevens as could be brought out
through other methods which might bo
udoptul at only a small Increase over
appropriation now made for gridiron In
struction. No criticism udverse to Coach lSwald
Stlehm, hrad Ot tho athletic pyHtem cf
the Cornhusker Institution, Is intendul
I ere; Coach Stlehm, the writer believes,
is a capable young .foot ball teacher, and
one who should remain at tho University
of Nebraska. ll4-ls u clean, proficient
tutor, with much energy, a large amount
of enthusiasm for his work, and with a
sharp conception of what should he dono
to get good results from the material at
his commands
Fault In System.
The fault In the present system at Ne
braska lies. In the fact that all the respon
sibility and practically all the work ' In
manufacturing an eleven rests entirely
upon one nan's shoulders. Yale has
pioved that one man cannot make an
eleven which will win against teams who
are coached by a board of teachers whose
combined knowledge- Is much more ef
fective tn getting a great foot ball ma
chine than the strength and power of one
man can possibly be. There are too many
rough places In every foot ball eleven
for one or two men to smooth-out; a set
of tescjiers and advisers must be- had
for one or two or three men miss vmany
faults of a -squad faults which an ad
visory board would catch and remedy
through suggesting what should be done,
for Improvement.
Nebraska needs and must have next
fall In order to defeat Minnesota a noup
of four or five assistants for Coach
Stlehm. It also should have an advisory
board of five members, composed of urn
who are Intimate with the various stages
of Cornhusker foot ball advancement.

Tolliver Throws
Young Olson Two '
Times with Ease
Jack Tolliver of Omaha took straight
Infulls from Young Olson of Kansas Cltyllng tournament ot the international
last night before tho Flambeau club ln
Its new headquarters, 1115 Harney street,
Tolliver won tho first fall In nlno and
one-half minutes with a lmmmerlock and
half nelson. The second fall went to
him In seven minutes with a bar hold.
The match was one of unusual speed,
llotd men worked hard at nil times, Ol
son's strength wbb a hindrance to him
as he did not know what to do when he
secured a position of advantage. On the
other hand Tolliver used IiIb knowledge
of tho game to much advantage and had
little trouble with his adversary. Ho took
tho defensive most of tho tlmo until he
hud his opponent more or less winded
and then turned the trick.
In the preliminaries Jack Gormun of
Omaha defeated L. Champ of St. Louis
In twclvo nnd one-half minutes with n
full nelson. Will Land or of Colorado In
a handicap match threw Charlie Rubul
and Ed Mankln In seventeen minutes, ho
having twenty minutes to down both
men. Jnck Myers and Paul Byers, both
of Omaha, went twcnty-flvo minutes to
a draw in a fast and exciting bout.
Mnuager Krause of the Klambenu club
announced that Dig Rill Ilokuf would be
matched against Dementral, the Greek,

With Foot Ball at the University of Nebraska ?
Need Help in the
Cornhusker foot ball policy should come
before tho close of school in tho spilug
Coach Kwald Stlehm needs the help of
more men, he has admitted that one man
cannot do all that he should. Ixist fall
he worked remarkably hard und really
built up a fine eleven, considering tho
conditions which surrounded him. Tho
writer criticised the piny of the Corn
buskers nt times lust fall, hut no censuro
of the coach was meant. It was said that
tlie offense was not proficient in certain
games the Kansas battle being a notable
example of the weakness of the Corn
husker attack but Coach Stlehm was not
blamed. Truo, he may have been at fault
In some Instances; but where In the
country Is there not a coach who does not
fall on one or more cases? It was the
Cornhusker system that was at fault.
Too llltf for One Man.
Not even theoretically can one nan
shape an eleven so that It will win game
after game; encounter teams drilled by
some of tho best coaches ot the country,
and play elevens that are trained the
wlioU season Just to w)n tho game with
this single coach's machine. This onu
mun must necessarily be handicapped ln
many ways. In the ase of Stlehm, vho
Ib still young, there Is the handicap ot
Inexperience; he has not been out of
college long and Is less than 30 ycarb
old. There are many, many phases of a
foot ball situation which he cannot be
expected to meet adequately, and no body
of foot ball men should expect him to
meet them fully.
One man must be at the head ot the
coaching system; his word must be final,
and to him every foot ball man must look,
but there should be other teachers t)
carry out his commands, to drill certain
players, to remedy the faults of others,
and then there should be the advisory
board of old heads, who know the gamo
well, to teach the squad and to advice
the head coach. Director Stlehm would
not need to accept the suggestions of
this body unless he wlvhed, but he wou il
be greatly helped by all the thoughts
that the board would give him, and there
Is no doubt that he would learn much

Work of Coaching?
from them that would assist In getting a
better Cornhusker eleven.
.Nd ANNUtuiit Conrlim.
Of course the greatest need at Ne
braska In more assistant conches. Teach
ers for the line, for the ends and for tho
hacks are lacking. There should ho eight
or ten men on Nebraska field nxt fall
before the Important games, Onn coach
should have two or three players depend
ing upon him, and he should drive them
hard. At other big schools of the coun
try, such Is the situation. JuBt before
the Nebraska contest last full Northrop
field at Minnesota was flooded with
coaches and advisers, and the Gophers
were rounded out Into ono of the best
teams In the west rounded out, too, from
a squad of green. Inexperienced players.
Poller Very Wfnk,
The present foot ball policy of Nebraska
has proved Its worthlessness. During a
period of twelvo years the Cornhuskers
have been meeting Minnesota, and ln all
that time they have won but a single
game. Many wonderful foot ball men
have entered and left Nebraska during
those years. There was lots and lots of
fine material nender, Westover, Hunter,
Shonka, Franke, Purdy, Collins, Kwlnft,
Harvey, Johnson, Cotton, Matters, Harte,
4eltzer, Cooke, etc. and still the success
of tho (Jornhuskcrs In any but Missouri
valley contests has been very small. Min
nesota has won repeatedly, but because
It was better coached, not because It had
beetter men.
The team tho Cornhuskers sent to
Gopherdom last fall was pomssed of
many sterling players, and man tor man,
was the superior of the Minnesota team.
It. was defeated. Williams and his as
sistants did the work; not the men who
fought the battle. Stlehm has his team
well drllUd; they played a magnificent
game (remember, they had the game
practically won until tho last few minutes
of the battle) and they should have been
returned a winner, this despite the fact
that Minnesota was In superior shape for
the battle.
