Coruhnakern Wnlcned by Loaa of Bene dict. Score 14 to 6. With all their players in superb condition and trained to the minute for Nebraska the Haakoll Indians suc ceeded in defeating us last Sat urday in Kansas City by a score 9t 14-6. The score pretty fairly represent the strength of the two teams as they lined1 up for the game. To the spectotar the ad vantage seemed greatly in our fa.vor for Nebraska outweighed Haskell man for man. But we went into the game in a demoralized condition. The ab sence of Capt. Benedict alone, was enough to take the heart out of the men, and add to that the fact that for four Saturday's without a rest, they have had to go against teams power ful enough to almost defeat us; that the eleven men who went into tho game Saturday had never played a game before together as an eleven, and results can be explained away to a certain extent. However, Ne braska's condition cannot be mentioned to tho discredit of the game the In dians played. They were in the game, not individually as were the Corn huskers too often, but as a team, fast, certain, playing low and always alert. Not an opportunity to gain was lost by the Redmen and time after time -! their lighter backs, with the rest of tho team behind1 them, would go plung ing through our heavier line for sub stantial gains. In the absence of Benedict, Bender acted as field captain and did the punting. Johnnie held his own on ex change of punts- remarkably well. The wind was, with one exception, always against him, but not as much ground was lost as wo had expected. By kick ing a pretty goal from placement on tho thirty-five yard line, Bender ac complished' what no other Nebraskan has done this year. Ho is also to be credited with some long quarterback runs. Owing to the alertness of the Indians these runs sometimes resulted in losses, but time and again TwiBter got away for fifteen to thirty yard gains. Glen Mason's line bucking was what opened- the eyes of the Kansans. Only thd unusual strength qX Haskell's secondary line kept him from getting away any number of times: Birkner for his. first gome did well and should de velop into a ppwerful fullback. Next to Bender's, Bill Johnson gains were the ldhgest. Once, with a broken field Bill dodged for thirty-five yards be fore being stopped. The tackles were not used in advancing the ball as much as thoy might have been. The center trio of Nebraska's lino were practically invulnerable. Borg at center, having no difficulty with his man, and often blocking tne plays almost before they were started. But despite individual merits wo wore defeated. The story is an old one; the toapa of eleven men playing as one proving superior to oloven individuals. THE DE7TAILS. . l Tho teams came on the field at'tafi game time and were both greeted with cheering which seemed to favor the Indians no more than the Corn buskers. The wind was quite strong from the South. Bender, acting as cap tain, lost the toss-up and Haskell chose the south- goal and the wind at her , back. Ground rules were made, on ac count of te shortness of the field. Cot ton kicked off at 2:35 to Haskell. The ball was downed on Haskell's forty yard line. A fumble gave Nebraska the t s ;; Thanksgiving Gameji Tickets on Sale at Harley's Drug Store This Morning. n it t u a it it General Admission, $1.00. i r it Reserved Seats, $1.25, $1.50 and $1.75 ball, but it was given back to Haskell. Blight yards round right end, then three through the line, twelve on fake pass, placed the ball on Nebraska's forty yard lino. Successive gains of four yards. 3, 0, 3, 0, 2, 5, 3, 3, then a penalty of fifteen yards against them placed tho ball on Nebraska's forty yard lino, and Pete Hnuser dropped back for a trial at goal from place ment. The ball sailed squarely between the goal posts and four scores were tallied against us.' P. Hauser kicked off to Bender, who dropped the pall, but recovered and was downed on our fifteen yard line. Unable to gain, Bon der punted and it was Haskell's ball on our forty yard line. A penalty against us, with a thirty yard run placed the ball on Nebraska's five yard line. Borg, by a beautiful tacklo, stopped the In dian making this long run, but without avail, for three line plunges put the ball over and P. Hauser kicked goal. Score Haskell- 10, Nebraska, o,. after thirteen minutes of play. HauBer kicked off for Haskell, and Glen Mason was downed on Ne braska's seven yard line. Six yards were made by Bender, three by Eager, and a loss by Robertson forced us to punt and Haskell got the ball on Ne braska's thlry yard line. A delayed pass was fumbled by Haskell, but thoy recovered the ball, and Pete Hauser again dropped back for a try at goal from field. A fake placement was formed, and the ball passed high, and Hauser kicked a goal from the forty yard line, the ball going two hun dred feet, Beomingly, over the cross bar, so much did the Indian kicker have to spare. And tt.is ended tho scoring for Has kell, but too late. Hauser kicked off to Eager, who returned fifteen yards. Gains by Glen Mason, Eagei, Birkner, and Glen, again brought the ball to Haskell's thirty yard line, but we fum bled and it was Haskell's ball. Has kell brought jthe ball back .four yards and then fifteen round right end, where they fumbled and Nebraska recovered tho ball. No gains for Nebraska forced Bender "to punU Haskell fumbled the punt, and it was Nebraskas' ball. No gains .forced us to punt again. Archi quotte returned the ball twenty yards. Threer then fifteen yards were added to Haskell's credit, -then Borg broke through before the play got started, Haskell -fumbled and Glen Mason fell on tho ball. Bender gained nothing on quartor back run, but Bill John son got free for thirty yards, and-Benr dor repeated the trick with a forty yard sprint, placing the ball on Has kell's throe yard line. , Tho crowd hooted so as to make signals almost inaudible. Three attempts failed to advance the ball over the goal line, and it was Haskell's ball on her own two yard line. Pete Hauser fell back for a punt, tho ball w,ent wild, but the In dian got it, again and was downed be hind his own goal line for two points for Nebraska, The ball was kicked out from the twenty-five .yard line, and Cy Mason returned fifteen yards to the middle of the field, where time was called for the first half, with the ball in Nebraska's possession. SECOND HALF. . Hauser kicked off to Cotton, who re turned ten yards. It was Nebraska's ball at centoi' of field. Robertson mad-a (Continued on Page 2.) GETS GOOD START. Y. M. C. A. at State Farm Starts up in Good Shape. Saturday evening at 8:00 at the state farm the Y. M. C. A. of the agricult ural school was Initiated. Mr. Herron has been made secretary of tho new association and Ralph Scarles has boon appointed to take charge of tho mem bership. The initiation of the Y. M. C. A. was in the form of a largo Btng reception in which about 300 men took part. About fiO men from tho univer sity went out to the farm In order to becomo acquainted with the new men and enjoy tho fine entertainment which Mr. Ringer and tho men nt the state farm had prepared. A unique opening for the entertain ment was the Introduction of the men to each other. The men lined up and then each had to stop out and give name and address. In this way the Ice was broken and things went off smoothly. The program of tho evening came after an Informal entertainment which consisted of games and tricks of different sorts porformed by the different students. The program was as follows: Readings Mr. Bates Quartette, Mr. Hlggins, Mr. Ringer, Mr. Wallace. Dutch Comedy. Following tho program was a relay i ace between tho first and second year mon, tho third year men and the men or the university Y. M. C. A.. The third year mon showed vast superiority In speed. The evening closed with re freshments and talks by Prof. Smith and Dean Ringer. Under the leadership of Mr. Herron and Mr. Searles a flour ishing Y. M. C. A. Is a tning of tho near future. It is hoped that this may bo one of the means of acquainting better the students of the two schools. ON MOSQU4TOS- Dr. Ward Will Lecture Nex,t Friday Evening in Chapel.

Tho students who attonded chapol exorcises yostcrday morning had an educational treat, uncqualcd as yot by any of the programs given this year. In the person of Mr. W C. Wiiito of tho Honry Oeorgo Institute of Labor of Chicago. A good crowd was pres ent and ho spoke with omphasis re vealing throughout tho whole of his address, which was closely arraigned with his clearly hown economic ar gument, that he was a trained master of his subject. Mr. White said In substance: "All human knowlodgo Is very sim ple to us when we give it our closo attention. The great field of mechanics which appears so intricate Is based en tirely upon two points. In like man ner the whole study or economics is equally simple lor It Is based on land and labor. Tho study of polltlclal economy is tho same tiling as, or Is commonly termed, tho art of making a Jiving. The last term, howover, Is generally used most frequently nnd is more uni versally understood becauso of Its de finite understanding by tho major part of the people. It appealB to moro or the people and they feel more directly tho forco of it whon thoy hoar it in these, tho moro prosaic terras. Any individual, no matter haw meager his education, understands what Is meant by the art of making a living. "Economics, then Is based upon phy sical and moral facts, under this gen eral assertion. Lot us tako up first, the physical. We all live on the earth and three fourths of It Is water, i ho other fourth is composed of both land and sand. Wo live upon the land and are not nearly so crowded as some people might suppose; for, If all the people In tho whole world were killed they could be burled In Cooy Councy, 111., which contains 1,200 square miles; and still after the proper Interment would have been made one third of tho county would be left. Figures don't Ho but liars do figure and If you don't believe what I Bay go homo and sleep over it." Continuing again alonir Mm onn. nomic view he said: "It is necessary that each individual shall have some thing to eat, something to wear and somethlngtoclothe hlmsell with, besides a place of habitation. These neces saries can only be secured by labor. Nothing, bo far as we have oeen able to-ascertain, on the face of tho earth can be obtained without it. It is es sential, then, wo must labor in order to subsist." Tho next basic proposition upon which economics was founded, accord-" ing to Mr. White was tho moral point of which ho explained. "If every ar ticle, can be obtained by labor, then to whom do tho results of labor belong but the man who labors? What Is the great question of economies that con fronts us today. According to tho in stitution of private property and the fundamental principles upon which it is based those who labor own the re sults. The best laborers we have can not produce one single article unless the natural materials aro provided thQm. All the Ironworkers In the world cannot make a nail unless supplied with the proper kind of material. Arom this it is very' evident that land and labor are the two fundamental layers upon which all laws of economics ore grounded. -The march toward civlllza (Contlnued ou Pago 3.) ' t ""'...
