Memorial Stadium, Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 4.—Nebraska's Cornhuskers opened their 1924 football season here this afternoon by surprising the foot ball world in holding the University of Illinois team, co-champions of the Western conference, to a 9 to 6 score. A crowd of more than 20,000, one of the largest that has ever turned out for a football game In this city, oc r upled seats In Nebraska's stadium. These 20,000 football fans saw the Cornhuskers plow through the vet eran Illinois team lji the first quar ter and by straight football score a touchdown. They also saw the “fighting llllnl” from Urbana open up an aerial at i tack early In the second quarter that resulted In a touchdown when the famous “Red” Grange hurled the leather through the air Into the wait ing arms of Kassel, who went over for a touchdown. These same 20,000 saw the Huskers | battle the llllnl from one end of the field to the other and in the fourth quarter trained their eyes on the edu iated toe of Britton, who successfully L kicked a goal from placement from ■v, Nebraska's 25-yard line. Glory In Defeat. With defeat goes glory, for the Cornhuskers. An inexperienced team trotted out from the Nebraska side of the giant stadium at 2 this after noon, and when they ran signals up I and down the field few in the sta dium thought the red jersied grid Hers would hold “Red” Grange and his mates to a 9 to 6 score. The Huskers didn't run their sig nals smoothly. They saved all the fine points of their work for the ac tual combat. They outplnyed the lilt nl in the first quarter, but when the i-o chantps of the Rig Ten started their overhead attack, the defense of the Huskers against such football warfare was woefully lacking. Illi nois completed six passes out of 11 i hand's for a total of 106 yards. One of these passes resulted in a touch down. No one Is more tickled over the small margin Illinois won by than Coach Zupke of the "Rightin' Tllini.” M iie coach had nothing hut praise for ttie Huskers and ended by saying: •'.lust what 1 expected. I am satis fi -il.” Zupplte I'neasy. Coach Zuppke was probably uneasy throughout tile game. His famous "Red” Grange didn’t get away and make runs in true Grange fashion. The Huskers had Grange “spotted” from start to finish and only twice diil the famous human gridiron cy Lrlone succeed in surprising the crowd. M'his happened In the second quarter when Grange returned a punt, from * Hloodgood to Nebraska's 37-yard line, * X running 37 yards through the entire 1 Husker team. Again, in the third I quarter, Grange ran around right ' end for 25 yards, being forced out of bounds on Nebraska's 54-yard line. In both runs, the star Illinois halfback gave one of the best hits of open field running ever seen on a Nebraska field. Today’s game was the first one that Grange has played In since don nlng the Illinois football togs that he hasn't scored a touchdown. He was a marked man, but his passing en aided the llllnl to score a touchdown, Grange was called on to carry the hall 13 times and made 93 yards, in eluding his runs of 37 and 25 yards, The Huskers fought with their hacks to the wall from the start, as .shown by the statistics. Illinois plowed through the line ami skirted the Nebraska end for a Iota] of 369 yards In scrlmmagp to the 154 for the Scarlet and Cream. These figures would Indicate that llllnoli was completely lire master <*f Ne lira ska, but such was not the case Nebraska gave a better account of It self than the statistics show. Rhodes Breaks Through. The one blight spot of NebrasUn'i play was the spectacular run madi by “Choppy" Rhodes, left lialfbnck In the first quarter. The Huskeri r eceived a punt on their own 46 yart line, and after three lino srnashei gained eight yards. Rhodes, on i delayed punt formation, iiroki through Hie Illinois team for a touch down. The speedy little Nebraskl halfback dodged and zigzagged hli way past Britton and Grange. 1 i was the only good run reeled off hr * the Huskers during the nfternooi 4 end happened to he the longest, nni of the game.

One, who has been just merely inter ested. could not have made the trip and then returned to the old homo farm to continue the same old methods. There are some features of the dairy business as practiced in Wis consin that impress themselves upon the visitor. Wisconsin’s development is not the result of haphazard methods nor of three or four years of effort. It Is the result of scientific study of all the elements entering ir,to successful dairying and long years of experl enee. Nebraska has many advantages over Wisconsin. Nebraskans who enter the dairy business have the ex periences of their Wisconsin friends to guide them, just as the farmers of this generation have the experi ences of their pioneer fathers and mothers to guide them. Wisconsin dairymen had to feel their way, build from the ground up and suffer losses' that are now easily avoidable. I). L. Williams’ Farm. The experience of D. E. Williams, owner of the Wern farm, about six miles from Waukesha, Wis., may be taken as typical of the really big and highly successful dairymen of the Badger state. Mr. Williams' farm of 143 acres is one of the most highly developed dairy farms in America. But 4ft years ago all but about 40 acres of this farm was a swamp. Mr. AVilllams bought It for 15 an acre, paying less than half the purchase price down. He then went to a bank and borrowed enough money to buy his first dairy cow. AA'hen he had paid for that one he borrowed enough to buy two cows. And every row he bought was a good one. He drained the swamp, bought more cows and gradually improved his methods as experience guided him. Today Mr. AVilllams has a show' place that is pointed to as a model of up-to-date methods. He has stall room for more than 2flft pure bred cows, and milks an average of 200 cows a day the year around. Every modern convenience i* found on his place. The barns are electric ally lighted: every wheel on the farm is turned by electricity; every barn is ventilated thoroughly, and cleanli ness is carried to the “nth” degree. Mr. AVilllams’ Is a certified dairy, and every quart of the product not con sumed on the farm is shipped to Chi cago and retails at 5 cents a quart above the regular market price. Jle told the writer that he has averaged 10 per cent on his investment fo’r the last 15 years. Prior to that time every penny of peoflt xvas put back Into improvements. Despite the high state of cultiva tion of his farm. Mr. Williams buys immense quantities of alfalfa, and other feeds. Much of his alfalfa is shipped from Nebraska. A ' ton of shavings are used every day In the stalls of his barns. One sees no huge plies of fertilizers about, for every lilt of it Is utilized in fertilizng the land that was orginaily a huge swamp. Nebraska Better Fitted. AVhat Mr. AVilllams has accomplish ed in 4ft years can be accomplished in Nebraska in far less time. For Nebraska soil will produce more per .n r .- i han Wisconsin soil, and this state tins a better climate. Mr. AVilllams’ sucres* should be the goal of every Nebraska dairyman and every man who approaches the task intelligently, profits by experlenre and works hard, will approximate his great success. There are few such dairy farms even In AVIsconsin, hut the Nebraska visitors saw scores of smaller dairies ttiat were just as effi cient, just as model and Just as profit able. Home of the prettiest plares visited maintained herds of from 25 to BO cows. Nor were they just cows. They were the highest type of ani mals posaible. to procure. There are no fat dairy cattle in Wlsconain, for the simple reason that every energy on the part of their owners has been to produce animals who will turn every possible bit of feed Into milk. At the National Dairy exposition In Milwaukee was exhibited the world's champion milch cow, Seals Pletertje Prospect. She holds the world’s record as a milk producer and tier children are known the world over. Prospect for two years, when she was in her prime as a milker, yielded her own weight in milk every 18 days, nnd Prospect Is no lightweight, for she average* about 1,70ft pounds. She is a sample of what Intelligent breed■ ing will do. For 11 years she has been a wonder, and today she Is a greatgrandmother. Her wonderful , record ns a milk producer was made during the two years nfter she had passed the nge of 7 years. Today she : Is the queen of the splendid herd nf , contented cow* owned by the Carna tion Milk company. Wisconsin dairymen are not all , agreed as to the best milk producing breeds. Much depends upon what the milk is Intended for, whether for milk as a beverage, or for butter or for cheese or for condensing purpose. The llolsteln man swears by the Holstein. His nearest neighbor may be a Guernsey man, and the next one a Jersey man. Several farms were vis ited where the Ayrshire was the •fa vorite. But they are no cross breeds. Gradual Breeding Advised The Wisconsin dairymen are agreed upon one bit of advice to Nebraskans: Use only purebred slier?. They ad vise a good sire and breeding up grad ually rather than attempting to buy good cows from the start. Science and Invention have taken much of the hard work out of dairy ing. Of course it is a business that requires constant attention. The cows must be milked regularly, al most on the minute. An hour's dif ference in the milking time shows a loss in quantity l^ter. But the milk ing machine, the modern barn appli anoes and the dairy house apparatus has removed the drudgery and made dairying as easy and ns interesting as it is possible to make any kind of profitable farm work.. Too much cannot bie said of the kindness and courtesy shown the Ne braska excursionists by the dairymen whose farms were visited, nor of the courtesy of the county farm agents who left nothing undone to make these visits easy. You will hear no complaints about the expense of county farm agents in the dairy sec tions of Wisconsin. They are con sidered as lndispensible as good hous ing for the cattle. Silos in Wisconsin are as thick as haystacks In central and western Ne braska. Every green thing grown on the Wisconsin farm. Including the cornstalks, is siloed. Even If Wiscon sin could produce good corn it would be considered a disgrace to send it to market in its original form. All the corn raised Is shipped to market as milk, butter or cheese. Demand Greater Than Supply. Here and there one bears some Ne braskan remarking that there is dan ger of glutting the market with dairy product'., thus making dairying tin profitable. There Is just about as much danger of that as there Is of the moon flying off Into space. The demand for milk, butter and chce«e will keep ahead of the supply until there Is one good dairy cow In Amer ica for every three or four of the population. If Wisconsin dairymen, with all of their disadvantages, can make a splen did success of the business, what can Nebraska dairymen do with their manifold advantages over their Wis consin brethren? While Wisconsin must Import thousands of tons of al falfa. Nebraska can prodm e her own. Nebraska produces better corn and vastly more of It: more alfalfa, In finitely better In quality: more barley and other milk producing grains, has as good or better water and far bet ter climate. One half the time and far less energy than Wisconsin lias put Into dairying will make Nebraska a far better dairying stale, provided always Nebraska dairymen give to the business the same Intelligence, the same close attention and the same love for the world’s foster mother, the dairy cow. The Nebraska Dairy Development society Is working along right lines. In the opinion of the Wisconsin dairy men, who were told of Its plans and program. In promoting the recent excursion of 100 Interested farmers Into Wisconsin, the society has given a wonderful Impetus to dairying In' Nebraska, G. 0. P. Caravan at Columbus, Neb.

The New* York Giants, four time* champion of the National league, under the stormy petrel of the big leagues, McGraw, whipped the Wash ing: on club, American league pen nant winners of 1924, in the opening game of the world series bv a score of 4 to 1. No Fault of Johnson's It was no fault of Johnson’s, no : it of ' Big Barney," as 37.000 of Us neighbors fn the city in w hich he has played baseball for 18 years were lovingly calling him today. He battled for them, and for their - * chic baseball glory, through 12 tor\ rid innings, and when he finally fell\ there was only one epitaph you could write over his defeat and that Is, "he |fought the good fight.” __ The president of all these United States oar. hear witness to this state j.m«ot. The president of the United If-'m-es was there in his capacity as a I Washington baseball fan and he was I quite excited at times. He did not | hurl the new. pearl gray hat he wore out on the field In the manner of I wild-eyed citizens around him when r: ger Peckinpaugh drove home the tying run in the last of the ninth, but he stood in his box, h:s nerves in dubitahly a tremble, and his hand* poised apart as if about to slap the i together with a pc-p of applause.

The Giants rushed two runs over the plate and one of these runs n.,8 the margin of the! victory. Two Home Runs. The New Yorkers' other two runs were made early in the game, and both home runs, one by long George Kellv the Californian, the other by Bill Terr.
