Football Coaching Staff

LetterHE 1925 football coaching staff was one of the most complete in the history of Nebraska football. Coach E. E. Bearg had charge of his first season at Nebraska and was ably assisted by a staff of old Nebraska players, including Owen Frank, Leo Scherer, Raymond Weller, and William (Bill) Day. The record of defeating the Illinois and Notre Dame elevens, and holding the Washington University team to a 6 to 6 tie is adequate proof of the proficiency of the Husker coaches.

     Dick Newman, former Husker football letter man, had charge of the Freshman team.

      The coaching staff for football next year as tentatively announced includes besides Bearg as head coach, Owen Frank and Charles Black, backfield coaches; Charles Oakes, a newcomer at Nebraska, as head line coach, with Ed Weir, a Nebraska All-American tackle, as his assistant: Leo Scherer, end coach; and John (Choppy) Rhodes, freshmen coach.
