THE
VOL. II.
We Can Win.
With the thermometers hunt
ing the zero point, and an ama
teur blizzard sifting .snow into
the eyes of players and specta
tors alike, Nebraska and Iowa
put up the prettiest game of the
season on Thanksgiving day.
The weather was what Univer
sity students are beginning to
believe is perpetual in Omaha,
miserable. The crowd was
consequently chiefly conspicuous
for its absence. About eight
hundred enthusiasts turned out,
however, and made themselves
disagreeable by surging in over
the field and spoiling several
good plays. Charlie Wilson
refereed and Lieutenant Wright
acted as umpire. No objection
could be made to either. The
teams lined up as follows. No
subs went in for either side :
IOWA.

Iowa won the toss and took
the wind, giving us the ball. We
used the Princeton flying wedge
for about ten yards. The ball
went quickly to Iowa's ten yard
line on plays by Flippin, Little
Yont and Whipple, assisted by
splendid interference. The ball
was then fumbled and Littig
dropped on it. After a luie play
or two Elliott punted thirty-five
yards. Little Yont got the ball
in the center of the field. Flippin
made a good gain around the
end and Little Yont then ran
nearly forty yards for a touch
down, aided by excellent block
ing on the part of Flip and Big
Yont. Frank kicked goal.
Iowa started from the center
with a Cornell flying V and
made fifteen yards. Without
losing the ball Iowa pushed it
. over tbe line in eleven plays and
Rogers kicked goal.
We started with the double
flying wedge but only made five
yards. We then repeated Iowa's
last effort and made a touchdown
without losing the ball. Frank
missed a rather difficult goal.
Iowa made ten yards from
center on her usual opening.
The ball was lost on downs on
our twenty-five yard line. Yont
then made a splendid run of

sixty yards behind Flippin.
Oury made ten yards and
Flip and Yont short gains when
time was called. Score of first
half Nebraska, 10; Iowa 6.
In the second half Iowa got
forty yards to her credit in sev
eral plays and then fumbled.
Wilson fell on the ball and we
pushed it down the field for a
touchdown, Whipple punting
fifteen yards. We lost the ball,
I but soon regained it. Flippin

Iowa made her next touch
down in twelve minutes. We
had the ball a good part of the
time, however, Wilson having
dropped on another fumble.
There were now but ten minutes
to play. Each side made a

for Iowa. Frank's
work at quarter was good but he
missed two goals. Wiggins

played a splendid game. Some
of his tackles were superb.
Whipple's punts, while not bril
liant, were sure. Oury and
Whipple played as men ought to
when all their friends are watch
ing them. Littig made the
prettiest tackles for Iowa. Wil
son keeps his eye on the ball
and is after it like a flash when
the other side fumbles it. Aid

Thanksgiving reception on Fri
day evening at the home of

Law Notes,
The Law School began work

We are sorry to note the ill
neks of Mrs. Reese, wife of our
Dean, and hope for her speedy
recover'.
.Messrs. Victor and Hopewell

NOTICE TO STRANGERS.
We will give our rapt attention
If you ever wish to mention
The games we've played with Deuver
or with Doane.
But if you want to say
How the Kansas fellows play
There are moments when one wants
to he alone.
And the same applies to Iowa.
Quolh the Prep unto his classmates:
"Come and listen to the news.
I am to he a membtr
Of a club called 'Kangaroos.'
Its formed of Sophs aud Juniors,
I have heard the fellows tell,
-And-tha honor heaped upan.m.v
Made my youthful bosom swell.
I used to think the fellows thought
I was a country 'guy,'
nut now I'm sure they think I am
The highest of the high.
The societies don't want me,
But that don't give me the blues,
For I'm to be a member
Of the festive 'Kangaroos.' "
ALMOST PERFECT.
She is young and she is pretty,
she is
good and wise and witty,
And she has a very sweet and winning
smile.
The can talk well, when she fancies, and
she know the latest dances,
And she dresses in the very latest style.
She is up in mathematics, she's well
posted in the classics,
And she knows her ancient history by
heart.
She can work out cones ond prisms, and
in her syllogisms
She always gets her horse before the cart.
She can parley wwj, I reckon; und Kann
Deutch lesen und sprecken;
And at Spanish and Italian she's quite
bright.
She could learn in half an hour all the
tongues of Babel tower.
As an all round linguist she is out of sight.
She can play on the piano; she can sing
a high soprano;
She's a daisy on the banjo and guitar.
She can warble like a linnet; with her,
Patti isn't in it,
For at music she's decidedly the star.
In fact, as I have stated, she is smart and
educated,
But when it comes to football she's at sea.
For she don't know Shue from Whipple,
thinks a half-back is a cripple,
And she couldn't tell a touchdown from
a tree.
