LINCOLN DEFEATS
OMAHA DECISIVELY
Wins From the Metropolis Boys
Fastest Game on Nebraska Field
This Year.
Omaha high school went down to
defeat to Lincoln high Saturday after
noon in a hotly contested game on Ne
braska field. The final score was 36-0,
Lincoln. This game is considered by
many to be the best played on Ne
braska field this season. Both teams
played hard, clean football from start
to finish. It was a fight clear through
and Lincoln earned every point she
made. The teams were about evenly
matched in weight with the balance of
speed on Lincoln's side. Omaha was
very successful at forward passes but
Lincoln demonstrated her ability to
win at either straight football or at
open play. Many University students
turned out for this game and rooted
for one side or the other. The referee
was Johnson, ex-Doane, the umpire,
Sanford White, all-American end from
Princeton, side linesman. Obie Meyer.

HAS LITTLE DIFFICULTY DEFEAT
ING THE KANSAS AGGIES
THE AGGIES FAIL TO SCORE
Used the Forward Pass Almost Exclu
sively, But With Only Fair Suc
cess Nebraska Is Penal
ized Frequently.
By H. I. Kyle
In the opening game of the Missouri
Valley Conference season the Corn
huskers demonstrated that they still
carried the punch necessary to win a
championship by swamping the Kan
sas Aggies by a score of 30 to 0. The
playing was exciting and spectacular
because of the open style adopted by
both teams early in the contest. Runs
of from thirty to eighty yards were
quite frequent, especially by the Ne
braskans, while the forward pass was
tried sixteen times by the Aggies, of
which five were completed for a total
gain of seventy-five yards, five were
intercepted by Nebraska for a total
gain of sixty yards and one touch
down, the other six being merely in
completed. The Huskers tried seven
passes, every one oi wmcu iaueu,
though none were intercepted.
The game was greatly marred by
fumbling on the part of the Aggies
and by penalties inflicted upon Ne
braska. The Farmers are charged
with eleven muffs, six of which were
recovered by Stiehm's proteges, while
the Cornhuskers have only one fum
ble to their discredit, and that one
was recovered by the man who made
it. As usual, Nebraska suffered great
ly by reason of penalties inflicted
upon her for holding and for getting
offside, as well. She was set back
eleven times for a total distance of
one hundred yards, while the Aggies
lost only fifteen yards in this way,
being penalized once for holding.
Twice Nebraska's goal was in dan
ger, the first time being in the second
quarter, when two forward passes and
a thirty-five yard run by Enns, the
star left half-back of the Aggie team,
brought the ball to the Cornhuskers
four-yard line, where the Farmers
were held for downs. Again in the
last period the Aggies made a strong

STATE WATER POWER
COMMISSION MEETS
Holds Meeting In Dr. Condra's Office
Sends Report to Next
Legislature.
If He Were President.
If I were president of this country
I would build a big cage on Ellis IFThlive been In the field most of the past
land, in New York harbor, and every
American who had been abroad for
the first time would have to spend a
week in the cage before landing. In
this way about half of the nuisances
would talk the other half to death
about "When I was in " and
"When I was in and the home
folks would livie longer. Luke North.
Last Friday the State Water Power
