Iowa Hunkell HrlltfVU Illinois iX Total Tha foot ball teaion for 1904 at tha Vnt varsity of Nebraska ended on Thank.-!vinj day literally In a blase of lory. The sur cfss of the Cornhunkrrs In triumphing over Illinois, after the fiercest aoj moat thrill lng foot ball struggle ever witnessed on a Nebraska gridiron, while It l doubtful If a more stirring and evenly contested mstrh i ever fought out on any field In the Und, served to erase from tha nilnJs of the supporters of the scarlet and creaui the memory of three previous defeats sus tained by their favorites. It woa a new experience for Nebraska rooters, since the coming of Booth In 1900, for the Corn huskers to lose as many as three games In a season, but the humbling of the proud and spirited aggregation from Champaign atoned for all of the disasters that had previously been sustained. Kebraaka-'a Great Record. Nebraska's fame In the world of foot ball 1ms, Indeed, been enviable since the advent of the big I'rinietonlun us coach. Suc ceeding to the cqachshlp the year after the distressing season of im, when the regime of one liranch was In force, the corn huskers winning only one game of the en tire schedule, Booth's methods and seal brought truly astonishing e (Tec is. with a squad limited in numbers and including only a few experienced players. Booth whipped them into form, and his pupils played every game of the season prior to the final clash of the year, the latter with tha vaunted Minnesota Gophers, without once permitting their goal line to be crossed. The shutout record was marred In the Minnesota game, but the victory or tha Mlnnesotans In that final struggle Was a moral triumph for the Nebraskans, who, while defeated by a score of JO to 13. scored as many touchdowns as their giant op. ponents and gave the Comhuskers their lirst claim to prominence on the gridiron. The season ot mi wus still more successful. Nebraska bowing only btfore the champion Wisconsin team and again to Minnesota. Meanwhile the Cornhunkers had over whelmed every opponent in the Missouri valley, in which district they were rec ognized as supreme. The following year, that of 1902. was Ne bruska's golden ago from a foot ball view point. Every adversary was bowled over with almost ridiculous ease, the list of victims this time including Minnesota, and not a solitary point was registered againt the Cornhuskers by any of their opponents throughout the entire year. The season of 1903 was almost as suc cessful as that which preceded It, Nebraska winning every one of its games and per mitting only a paltry eleven points to be scored against it. Disaster Was Espected. With such a splendid record in four suc cessive years tha dlapassionata student of foot ball could not expect other than that Nebraska would suffer reverses, and the trio of defeats sustained this year were therefore not in the least out of the gen eral order. Booth asserts that Nebraska had a right to win every game that It has Played In lsot That thle was not realised, the big coach declares, was tha natural consequence of a botched-up schedule, where, if proper Judgment had been dl played In the arrangement of the games, every defeat might as well as not have ben converted into a victory. He points out. 11.-st of all. that a bad mistake was made in booking the game at Uoulder wkli Colorado university on a date so early lu the Betumn. It has been long established that athletes from a low altitude are seri ously hampered when they visit a moun tainous district to take part In any contest requiring heavy physical exertion, es pecially when they are not in perfect phys ical trim. Colorado was aware of' Ne braska's unpreparednesa and played a trick 011 their opponents by Installing practice on the Held at Uoulder during the last' wek In August. Meanwhile the Cornhuskers did not don the moUakins until the end of the second week of September, while Booth did not reach Lincoln to take charge of his proteges until the middle of the month. Trouble With Minnesota. The men slowly rounded Into form fend Booth, when the time came for the Minne sota game, was forced to whip his former cripplea Into shape fur the clash with Gophers, rather than to prepare thera grad ually for the struggle. But even then the Cornhuskers had a license to wrest the laurels from the Minnesota giants, for tha latter, although a powerful eleven and out- ! weighing 'the Nebraskans by so wide a ' margin that the latter almost seemed ! midgets In comparison, fumbled so persist ently and the Cornhuskers as persistently captured the ball, that Minnesota's success, was as much of rsro good luck as that It was duo to uprior prowess. The defuut , at Minnesota, 1 ho latter touted as a claim- I ant for championship honors In the west, however, nuly adiitd to Nebranka a fame, ! for the vli ury was won by the narrowest I of margins and the Oopbors were diimaysd i almost as much as If they had suffered defeat. The strenuous practice required to pre pare them for the clash at Minneapolis resulted In almost every man In the 'var sity squad showing signs of overtraining, otherwise described as staleness. This state of affairs compelled Booth to allow all of those affected to break training for nearly a week and when Iowa came to face the Cornhuskers the latter were fir from being In trim for the fray. But the Hawkeyes were humbled, although at a heavy cost, for Captain Benedict, Ne braska's main reliance as a punter, was deliberately maimed by the Iowa players and crippled so badly that he did not get back into the game for the next three wetkr. His last appearance on the field in the Illinois game showed that he was still suffering from the rough play to whK-h he was subjected at the hands of the Hawk eyes, am), except for his kicking, he was practically powerless to render any aid to his teammates. The disability of Weller, a halfback developed by Booth on the eve of the clash with the redoubtsble Haskell Indians, sent him to the hospital and de prived the Cornhuskers of a very valuable plnyer, whose Irresistible I'ne-ehurglng gave Booth assurance that the red men would be taxed to the uttermost If they hope to stop him. With Benedict and Weller out of the game the Haskell brave 1 aired the J palefaccd Nebraskans and aor;d ill lr I rHt victory oer the Curtihusker l:i four years. While admitting the rsr prowess of the Huskell eleven, Booth firmly muli.uioi that ths Cornhuskers, with their full strength In the field, had It In them to give the aborigines another drubbing and that they would have done so with Bene dict and Weller, two of his sturdiest play ers, in the game. Wiped Oat the StlaTiua. With the recollection of these defeats still rankling in their breasts, Booth's pupils atoned for all former shortcpmlr.gs anu auversiues oy ineir tnr.lllng achieve- ments on Thanksgiving day agalnet IKl nols. The victory was doubly satisfying, 1 for It brought solace after former defeats and also established the claim of Corn hutkor supporters that foot ball as played at Nebraska is on the same plane with Hint of the best teams In the "vaunted Bis Nina Bender Leaves tht Team. The passing ot the relrn of the pigskin for the season at Nebraska witnessed th permanent retirement of the greatest player mai jiooin nas aeeioped during hi five years or rr.entorslilp of the Cornhuskers This Is Johnny Bender, hal.'bark . an J quarter, the "Flying Dutchman" of the Nebraska eleven.

When cornered and, fceimlngly, about to be downed, he has luipel hl.h Into Hi alt and vaulted over tha arms o his adversary, then catching his stride and racing down the field for tho o.ipo!n goal. A marvel lu carrying tha ball, Bender Is fully as proficient as a tackier, and with un opposing player clear of tha field Bender has often set sail In pursuit and brought ills man to earth when no other warrior on the Cornhusker squad could have hoped to accompli in the feat It was Bender who virtually won from Illinois this year, for his two long runs both netted touchdowns and ruved the day but that was not astonishing for Bi nder! who had done It many timos before! Bender's fame will live long In the annala of foot ball at Nebraska, where he hi been crowned a gridiron king. Outlook for Kext Vear. Nebraska s prospects for next year are '"" roseate, uenaer s pluce can scarcely be filled, but almost every other player on the squad of 19W w, Le eligible for foot ball next season, and marly tverv one l expected to return.
