Cornhuskers Get Jump on
Visitors by Scoring Touch
down in First Period
of Play.
| Close Score Big Surprise
By RALPH WAONEK.
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

Dairy Delegation Inspired by Visits
to Hfoconsin Farms; Excursion Lends
an Impetus to Dairying in Nebraska
A week, spent in the best dairy
section oC Wisconsin, and a couple
ot days at the National Dairy exposi
tion at Milwaukee, is enough to en
thuse anyone who has given even
slight thought to the dairy business.
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,

Man and Woman Sought
Phil R. Blakely, 50. farmer, near
Oakland, la., was slugged, robbed and
thrown from a Studebaker automo
bile on the Bake Manawa road at

costed Blakely at Thirteenth and
Douglas streets, and he accepted
their offer of a ride about Omaha and
back to Council Bluffs.
A few minutes after he got Into the

ed obtaining some liquor. They pur
chased this at an Omaha drug store,
according to Blakely, who says he
then became intoxicated. Blakely
says the conspirators were neither
over 22 years of age.
Details became blurred as the car
reached Council Bluffs, but Blakely
says he remembered that he was
driven to Bake Manawn and that the
car had started back towards Council
Bluffs before he was attacked, he
said.
M K. Palmer, manager of a Stan
dard Oil filling Rtaticn on the Mana
wa rond saw the struggle which en
sued. It occurred about 30 yards
from his station, and he leaped Into
a Ford car and gave chase to the
larger car. He was pursuing at a
speed of 40 miles an hour when his
car hit a bump on a street car track
crossing and colls of his car were dis
placed. Giving up the pursuit. Pal
mer drove Into Council Bluffs and
told Traffic Policeman Klmer T,nne.
stationed at Pearl and Broadway
streets, about the robbery. He then
drove hack to the srene and picked
up Blakely, taking him to the Coun
cil Bluffs police station.
Blakely told police the man end
woman were strangers to him, hut
that he believed the man's name was
"Connolly" or "Condon." Palmer
told the police he believed the license
on the car he pursued was an Omaha
one.
I thought Ihey were nice people,
so I got Into the car." said Blakely.
"Now I know they weren't."
As near »< could he determined.
Blakely's loss was *8 and a gold
watch. He was booked for drunken
ness.

Washington, Oct. 4.—Out of the
thick smudge of doubt, and suspicion,
and sinister rumor which has been
rolling over baseball there rose this
fternoon the inspiring figure of a
gallant old warrior of the diamond
fighting a gallant fight.
From the last ditch of his baseball
treer, in his shining buckler of the
strongest IT. (ton ever given l*- any
community to a character in sport,
the great Walter Johnson fought to
day and lost.
That is the thing that one almost
| hates to chronicle—he lost.
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.
President “Rooting”
The president of the I'nited States
was "r--»tlng" for Johnson, fighting
his gallant fight against basehall ad
\erstty in the form of playing errors^
The tall, blonde man from Kansas,
who was a baseball veteran when the
Giants he was fighting today were In
rompers, van keep that as a memory,
anyway.
Earl McNcc y, the young Washing
ton outfielder from the Pacific Coast
leigue. dropped a fly hall that he
i light letter have played for a single
In the twelfth Inning today, then fol
lowed his mistake with a wild throw.
The great Johnson was struggling
with Arthur Nehf. the Giants' fraii
looking lefthander, in a 2 to 2 tie at
the time.
I he n.;n»lay* seemed to thake
Jbh: -on as a staunch ship is sud
denly shaken by an unexpected roller
"f rushing force. 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. They were both lifts into
the :eft field which had txeen moved
■ rward at ,st .so feet for this series
to provide additional seats.
1 nder the usual conditions of the
Washington ball yard, the outfielders
n o.l.t ' \t the drives. It was
not until after .ie second home run
that Johnson settled down and began
to pitch in anything like the form that
made him the sensation of baseball
year In .and year out. Me fanned t3
of the Giants during the game.
He se, m a bit nerxoi.s at first. He
realised his responsibility to the
Washington baseball public: he knew
w hat was expected of him. For many
.' VS the have been waiting to see
him in a world series—and hers he
opposing McGraw s famous
Giant*.
It w as * - mew hat cr ippled team
of Giants, to t,i- sure, and the lineup
was more Jumble,! at the finish than
ewr, but it had masterly pitching
front the slender lefthander, Nehf 1 tv
fact, he o itpttched the great John
son at times.
K,!h al Second
Fong J tn Kelly, who started tie

second, a fortunate rtreumslanooa for
the Giants lte nude * one-hand,si
