With the field In elegant shape, smooth tfs a board and not too hard be fore a large and clamorous throng, the husky, mysterious, much-talked of Col rado team went down to crushing de feat before the mighty attack of the whirl-wind team of Nebraska. When- the final day of reckoning came Colorado faced a blank and Nebraska had 31 points ore her slate, Colorado Was simply out-played and outclassed at every point of tho game. Only once did they make any showing when In possession of the ball and this was along towards the close of tho first half when she managed to makeher dis tance for several downs. This rally was short lived and was not repeated during the remainder of the game. Never at -any time during the gamo was Nebraska's goal Ira danger. During tho first ton minutes of play punts were freely exchanged, neither side having much tho advantage, although Colorado was kicking with the wind. Tho Nebraska team came on tho field at 2:58 and took a short Bignal prac tice. At four minutes past three tho teams lined up. Colorado uefended tho south goal. Bonder kicked off for Nebraska at five minutes after three. The ball was dnwn mv Colorado's 15-yard line. Colorado kicked on tho first play. The ball for tho next ten minutes see-Bawed up and down tho field from kicks by both teams. Several fumbles wore credited to each team, but were not costly. As a" whole tho game was rnmarkably free from this feature especially on Nebraska's sldo. Nebraska got tho ball on a fumble on Colorado's 35-yard lino and then tho work begam Gaining steadily ovory down, tho Ne braska team pushtd the stubbornly fighting Colorado boys back towards their own goal. Close formation was called on the 25-yard lino and hammering the line first one on sldo and then on tho other and between times In the center, Ne braska sent Benedict over for tho first touchdown, after thirteen mlniutes of play had elapsed. Goal failed. " One moro touchdown was made dur ing this half, Eager was tho guilty man. Goal failed this time. Severnl punts wore exchanged and the half closed with tho ball on Ne braska's 20-yard lino la her possession The second half was a runaway for Newiuska. -In the first half tho Colorado team had adopted tactics which were calcu lated to tireout thelropponents. With a few exceptions every time Colorado got tho ball she gave It to Nebraska by a kick and made Nebraska carry It down the Hold. However, tholr cal culations went estray, for tho Nebraska team came on tho field In tho second half seeming moro fit for tho fray than lit the beginning. , Sho simply tore great holes in, Colo rado's lino and made, from 3 to 5 to 10 yards on every down. Bender would add 15 and 18 yards with a quarterback run, and bo they went down the Tlold for a' touchdown and steadily repeated the performance. Eager Is credited wjth another touch down . lni this half, Marsh, was pushed over for two and Glen Mason bno. ' Tho one great weakness of the team which was seen, was tho lack of some one to kick. goals, only one being Ulolcea. During tho second half a great many changes wore made in the Ne braska line-up, - Marsh- replaced Eager, Fonlon, Wil son, Barto, Brlggs, and Porry went Into the line and near tho end of the half Graves replaced G. Mason at full. In spite of nil theso changes the swift pace cf Nebraska never slacked, and the work at tho very end of the game was just as speedy as at tho be ginning of the half. Throughout it was an excellent ex hibition of the real ability of tha Ne braska team and makes tho hearts of the supporters of tho Scarlet and Cream throb with joy at tho thought of the games with Knox and IUInolB. The officials were: Umpire Plxley of Omaha. Referee Thomas of Colorado. Tlmo of halves 30 minutes.

But in tho judgment of the committee of award no song of efficient merit to gain tho prize was submitted. Condi tions seem favorable Just now to bring out the genius which without doubt oxists in our midst if the demand Is great enough to call It forth. The Ath letic Carnival, given by tho faculty, next Saturday, seems to be the auspi cious date and event. Again prizes are offered and If the amount is not equal to the sum offered last year, it Is felt that the occasion will moro than com pensate. To the two persons who pre sent tho most original, unique and fit ting poems or songs, rewards- will bo given. The only conditions attached are that the poems or songs must ap pear In Tho Nebraskan by Saturday and must bo hold adequate by tho former committee, If It can be pre vailed upon to act. Professors Sher man and Fossler, It Is hoped, will sot up all Friday night to glvo a decision that may bo adequate to the tlmo and circumstances. Mr. Blxby can have only one stunt, but all other compet itors can have as many "goes" as they desire. Prizes named later. Capt. Chase Back from Ft.Riley.

Tho Freshman class meeting passed off yesterday without a murmur of dis cord from elements raging without to disturb the serenity that prevailed. As sistant Superintendent Fee, together with a body of loyal Freshmen stood guard before the door, and by their threatening aspect precluded tho desires of ambitions Sophs to enter the meet ing and make themselves conspicuous. They succeeded quite easily In convinc ing those Ineligible ones who may have had a desire to enter that the task would be a difficult one to accomplish. Tho class assembled In U. 107, at the call of Chairman Scott. The reading of the minutes of tho last meeting was dispensed with, and Chairman De Young of tho constitution committee, was given a chance to place beforo the class tho document that was to guide them in their future course. Ho supplemented the reading of tho con stitution with an address, of a forcible and impressive character. He assured the class that the constitution was as far from tho hands of tho Sophs as the orb of Jupiter Is from the earth which Is quite a long distance. The constitution and by-laws were read amid desultory and enlphatlc ap plause, as tho Freshmen heard with awo and respectful attention tjie outlin ing of the rules and regulations that were to govern their body, tho names of the ofilcers and the details of their various duties and many other import ant things that were incorporated into the substance of the revered and im portant document. After a few minor changes had been made it was moved and seconded that tho constitution be adopted as drafted, and tho class pro ceeded to tho election of permanent officers.

Tho class then adjourned and will meet again Monday to proceed with the election of officers. this and a sprained ankle for Foster, tho team returned In oxcellent condi tion. Tho scrubs speak highly of. the treat- , ment accorded them, and the only ob jection that they had to make was to tho playing of a man an the Poru toam who was a graduate and actively ongagod In teaching school. A notice able feature of the game was tho fact that tho ball was never In Nebraska's territory at' any time during tho gamo. Drain tried for two placo kicks ono from tho 15- and tho other from the 25 yard line. The first missed but a few Inches. Thoso who made tho trip wero Shallonbergor, Myers, Nowton, Burns, HorBCshouor, Do Bey, Strlkor Laird, Foster, Craig and Drain. The team returned1 Sunday at 8:30 a. m. IN HONOR OF JUDGE REESE.

Aside from For somo tlmo there has been a gon eral sentiment among the memborB of tho Senior law class In favor of express ing to Hon. M. B. Reeso tho regard In which ho is held by them. This culminated In a smoker given in hiu honor last Friday evening at tho chap tor house of tho Phi Kappa Psl frater nity, at which he was presented with a gold headed cane. Tho cane bore tho inscription, "Presented to Hop. M. B. Reese by tho Senior law class of 1904, U. of N." A largo part of the class was pres ent and everybody enjoyed the oven lng. At an appointed time Mr. E. F. Suavely, president of tho cIosb--called tho meeting to order and Btated that they had assembled for the purpose of moetlng Judgo Reeso and recalling tholr associations with him as dean and Instructor. That this had been considored a fitting occasion to present to him some token of the esteem In which he Is held by tho clflsB. Ho In troduced Mr. A. Z. P.rescott, who pre sented the cane with a neat and pointed speech. Mr. Prescott spoke of tho Impossi bility of fully expressing on this occa sion the depth of love and esteem en tertained for Judge Reese by the mem bers of tho Senior law class. He-said that Judgo Reese In his career as an Instructor in the law school had shown tho Instinct of the true teacher In bringing out tho individuality of tho student, and at tho same tlmo gavo duo wolght and attention to scholarly at tainments. As dean he had given tho fullest care to tho work of building up a progressive law school. That his example had been of Immense influence in shaping that upright character so necessary to tho truly successful law yor. He concluded by saying that it was imposlble for him to fitly express tho esteem of tho clasB, but- that each, member would do so on this occasion In his own way. Then Judge Reeso responded by saying that ho could not begin to ex press tho gratitude and appreciation he felt. Though a valuable cane ho did not esteem the cane for its valuo as a staff upon which to lean, but be cause" he Could lean upon It -with, the recollection of those who had present it. That -lie could esteem it oa a tie, a bond of friendship that should, bind blm to tho class. He declared-that ' tho ten years of his association with tho law school had been the happiest period of his life and spoke feelingly of his relations to tho class of 1904, loading up to tho present occasion. Ho assured them that this cane should be his constant companion and that It should he n constant memento of thp friendship of tho donors'. A round of applause .followed his speech and ho then Held an informal reception for tho boys, as ho called them, they crowding around and shak ing his hand.
