Coach Williams found this out last
acknowledged in the west as chief
candidates for championship honors.
In each instance Nebraska was out
weighed many pounds, man for man.
This was particularly true at Minne
apolis, and although the Cornhuskers
were in poor condition, and Captain
WVstMver played throughout the great
er portion of the game In a semi-conscious
condition, the best the northern
giants could do was 19 to 0. Nebraska
was in much better condition three
weeks later when she met the Wiscon
sin team at Milwaukee, and it was
only tlie perversity of fate that pre
vented scoring that day. The Corn
busker mettle was proved though when
the fiercest charges of the Badgers
gait is evidenced by the overwhelming
Mores with which she defeated her old
time rivals Kansas and Missouri. The
former suffered defeat by a score of
I'D to 5. and the latter SI to 0. Wiscon
Mn will be played again next season,
at Milwaukee. Minnesota should be
brought to Lincoln. Iowa will be met.
and the Nebraska hoys will probably
journey either to Chicago for a meeting
with Northwestern r Chicago, or it.
Champaign, III., for a fray with the
Illlni. The Cornhuskers nre In a win
ning class, and the prospects for an
other season indicate that they have
the ability to stay there.

made up this year's doughty eleven.

prom an obscure institution, seldom
if ever heard of in football annals out
ffde the Missouri valle, Nebraska
-'ate university has suddenly risen to
4 "Hnnunding eminence. A new name
has bon added to the galaxy that has
"en known for several years as tne
"Iff nine." and thnt nnnf is Nebraska.
B their achievements on the endiron
" e ehraska boys have earned a place
n 'he same class with Wisconsin, Min-
Thanksgiving when his brawny Mln
nesotans were carried down the field
by the little Cornhuskers, and two
hard earned touchdowns scored a feat
no other team accomplished against
:he giant Gophers last season. Mr.
Williams had this fact still more em
phatically impressed on his memory
last Saturday when his Northmen
were drubbed by the smaller but more,
scientific men of Wisconsin. "What
Phil King of Princeton has done at
Wisconsin, Walter Booth of Princeton
is doing at Nebraska. With Booth
again at the helm great possibilities
are seen In the future.
Nebraska has been beaten but twice
this year, and then only by teams
netted only C points in the first hair,
and aggregated only IS in the end.
Against Minnesota the Badgers piled
up IS points in the first half, and then
contented themselves with playing a
defensive game the second half,
neither side scoring. "Wisconsin beat
Nebraska IS to 0; Wisconsin beat Min
nesota IS to 0. Nebraska followers can
get some consolation from the state
ment of Captain Arthur Cunts or "Wis
consin who said after the deciding
game:
"Nebraska played us much harder
than did Minnesota. Nebraska Is a
harder team to stop and plays a better
defensive game."
That Nebraska has struck a rapid
only two men will be lost. Ex-Captain
Brew at right guard Is playing his
fourth year, as Is also little Drain, the
quarterback whose generalship and in
dividual work have added many a
yard of opposing territory to Nebras
ka's possession this season. These will
be serious losses, but with nine gooo!
men for a nucleus there Is little to
cause discouragement for the season of
1002, provided, of course. Booth can be
retained. No one can estimate the
value of Booth's services during the
past two years. He has developed
football mn; he has developed plays;
he has developed the university as a
football Institution and he has caused
to a large extent the enthusiasm for
