1JNCOLN, ' Neb., Oct. 11. tepeclal.)
The defeat of the Nebraska Corn
hunkers by Colorado at Boulder last
Saturday, although unexpected by most
of the rooters for Booth's, pupils,
was at least a confirmation of Booth's per
sonal fears that the Mountaineers were
loaded for big game and It also effectually
disproved tho fake rtrpo stories of the
wonderful prowess of the CornhUKkers this
year, which havo been manufactured over
Booth's objections and sent out broadcast
to the press. It ha been Booth's conten
tion almost from the first of the season
that there were too many green men on the
V'.kH.Un i.ln.rn Ihla raa trt tliatlfv AflV
great display of optimism, while he was op
posed to "bull" stories because of the fur
ther fact that the overconfidence might in
fect his team and make them careless In a
tight pinch during a game.
Because of these facts the Nebraska
coach declared himself before be took his
pupils to Colorado by sHylng that they
were not In good physical condition for a
hard game and that they were far from
being Jn form; he i ven asserted that three
or four of his men rightfully belonged on
the hospital list, but 'hat he would be com
pelled to play them , he lacked the sub
stitutes to take their i laces. This sounded
so much like a "bear" story, ground out
for the benefit of future opponents, that
Booth's statement was not given the cred
ence that it Justified.
. The success of Colorado, although
achelvcd by the narrow innrgln of u Dingle
the Cornhuskers lugged the ball almost
three yards to their opponents' one, was
the flrst dose of defeat Nebraska has swal
lowed for Rlmost three full seasons, and
the Nebraska rooters had become so accus
tomed to lighting ted lircs and ringing the
old university boll that tbey were fairly
dased when the final news was flaihed over
the wire that Colorado hail won. , Booth
maintains that his pupils deserved to win
but for the rare good fortune of the west
erners, and he therefore argues that the
defeat should in no wise wreck the chances
of the ' Cornhuskers for the future. Hu
war naturally disappointed over the 'inabil
ity of his proteges to cro'js Colorado's goul
after they , had worked the ball so near to
the line so many times during the gan?e,
but he is hopeful, however, that the weak,
nesses displayed Saturday will become ap
parent to the players and that the lessons
taught by the defeat will be an eventual
benefit. "
Time of Halves Too Long.
It was not until after the game was over
that Booth learned that he had been tho
victim of . a clever Colorado trick. The
westerner played short halves with Kan
sas last year and lost by the narrow mar
gin of 1 point through their failure to kick
a goal. Toward the end of the struggle
Colorado had the Ja hawkers badly fagged,
largely because .of the rare atmosphere, to
which the men from the prairies were not
accustomed, anil-in the final moments the
Boulderltes jwere' walking down the field
almost without opposition. Then and there
-Colorado determined that their next game
against a Missouri ' valleY team on the
Boulder '"gridiron should be one of full
halven. When. Booth's aggregation appeared
on the scene they were blandly Informed
of the decision to play full halves. Booth
protested on the ground that the season
was too young to play the full time and
that at such an early 'date short halves j
were being played all over the- country. !
Colorado was obdurate, however, and would
make no concession other than for thirty -minute
halves. Booth was compelled to as-'
sent or be dubbed as a quitter. Another
surprise to Nebraska was the splendid con
dition displayed by Colorado, whereas the
Nebraskans were seemingly exhausted be
fore the end of the first half and were "all
In" at the finish. An investigation of this
phuse disclosed that Coach Cropp, with an
eye on the Nebraska game, had been prac
ticing most of the 'varsity squad at. Boulder
since the last week in August, and when
Booth sent his team on to the field It was
to face a well conditioned team, so much bet
ter In point of appearance that there was no
comparison between them. Even then the
Cornhuskers had a long edge In advancing
the ball. In punting and In running back
kicks, and If fortune had heetnwed her
favors evenly Booth's men would surely
have won by a reasonably safe margin.
The return of the defeated Nebraskans to
Lincoln was pathetic. Several hundred
students waited for hours for a belated
train to give the team as warm a welcome
as If It werr returning from a triumph In
stead of a reverse. The students cheered
lustily until Booth and the players emerged
In tears from the train. A hush followed,
but the students thought them heroes Just
the same, and each player was lifted on the
shoulders of a dozen loyal rooters and ten
derly put Into a carriage, whence they were
driven to the training quarters. -'
Nebraska's next game Is against Cretgh-
ton university next Saturday at Omaha.
Crelghton Is expected to give the Corn
huskers a stiff argument; but In this game
Booth feels Justified tn predicting a victory.
Three or four of the regulars, however,
are still on the hospital list and Booth will
bo forced to use substitutes. This should
j give Crelghton a much better chance, but
r.t-ii m-ii ine ouus appear 10 De very mucn
against them.'
Knox cnllrge will come to Lincoln a week
later, after which follows the Minnesota
game st Minneapolis, the most Important of
any on the Nebraska schedule.

Miss Dod, Baalish Expert, Defeated by
Miss Marktr ot Huston.
PHILADKLI'iUA. Oct. 11. Miss Char

oi lamine Mackay, nailing from the oak
ley Country eiuo of iolon, on tne tit at
day's pluy of the women s national cham
pionship by li-up and 1 to pmy. Miss
Mackay Is a young golfer and, although. It
was not by brillfmt golf, victory was none
the less deserved. By the defeat Alias Dod
Is out of the championship.
Miss Mackay s victory was due to her
ability to taae advantage of Mis iloda
mistakes. 'J lie result was In doubt up to
the seventeenth hole, at which point Ml.-s
Mackay was 1-up on her diKiingulsned op
ponent. Mint Muckay's opening urive for
tne aevenleenlh hole was Ht itast 170 yards
and the sphere rolled wlihln two yards of
the cup. Miss Dod followed, but sliced
her tee shot. The ball landed on the tar
ejige of the bank. She playeu her se.ond
short and her approach putt landed her
a yard rrom the hole. Miss Mackay then
took tne hole In two more strokes and won
the match. Uy a singular coincidence It
wax Allan Muckav who met mu. kimm
Adair last Uctooer over the same course
In the first mutch ply of the invitation
tournament. On that occasion aha was
1-down to the Irish expert.
Hardly lets surprising than Miss Dod's
defeat was the victory of Mrs. K. 8. San
tord of orange over Miss Harriott Curtis
of l-.s-ex county. The latter stood 4-up at
the turn, but Mrs. Sanford gradually arew
up on her opponent and the match w;.e
all square at tho eighteenth hole. Mrs.
banford won the extra hole, 6 to 6.
Miss Vanderhoel, who, with Mlra Cur
tis and Miss Dod. had tied for the best
score of the stroke play, was the only
one who survived today's struggle.
MlSS F. I?. Rrllcnm lha tnr.-m

match by default. Margaret Curtis of B.s
sex county was responsible for a grand
out Journey of 43 In her match with MIhs

election vote taken because of a protest
filed against the face of the returns by
John Westberg, one of the defeated Candi
dates for the legislature, Mr. Westberg
loses eight votes, Mike Lee stays where
he was and Kata gains eight.
These were the three candldrKes whose
votes were so close, standing. Lee 1,761,
Westberg 1,754, Kati 1,746. The contest
therfore, was between Westberg and Lee,
although the recount places Kata ahead ot
Westberg, who now has a total of 1,74ft. and
fifteen ' votes behind Mike Lee, his con-
testee.
The canvassers were Robert Cbwell, M. J.

tions.
Mr. Westberg sat through the entire re
count, paying close heed to everything said
and done. . When Mr. Cowell, chairman of
tne county and city committees, turned to
him and said the work was complete, West
berg simply said:
Mr. Cowell, I never would have done It
If the returns were not opened before the
time.
"I assure you, John," said Mr. Cowell,
very earnestly, "that I was aware of no
irregularity and would not permit any if I
were.
Asked If he would press the matter fur
ther. Mr. Westberg said:
I must make no statement without con-
suiting my attorneys. I have my own feel
ings In this matter, but cannot say what
snail do." r '
Lee, by the recount, gained one vote In
each the First and Second wards of Omaha
and lost one In the Sixth and one at Flor
ence, balancing his account. Kati gained
five In Florence, one In each the First.

EIGHT-HOUR LAW IS ILLEGAL
Milwaukee Court Holds that City Con
tract Mast He Let to Lowest
Bidder.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. ll.-Judge Halsey n
the circuit court of Milwaukee today handed
down an opinion In which he declares that
the eight-hour law as applied to city con
tractors Is Illegal. The case Is one In which
the city .advertised for bids on a city con
tract specifying that the contract waa to bo
figured on a basis of an eight-hour working
day. The contract was awarded to an Ohio
Aim, where the .eight-hour law was In
force. In preference to a Milwaukee firm
whose fries was lower, but whose work
day exceeded eight hours. Judge Halsey
decrees that the city charter provides for
contracts being let out to lowest bidders.
The case will be appealed.
