In a gamo replete with spectacular
runs and sensational tackles Nebraska
triumphed over Illinois by a acorc of
1G-10 In the last content of tho season.
It was, beyond a doubt, the best game
ever played on Nebraska field-. Neither
team had much advantage in weight,
but were speedy and both had devel
oped the fine points of tho game to a
wonderful degree. It was a battle of
fcotball science, line plunges, end runs,
fakes and kicks following one another
in quirk succession and, to quote
Coach Huff of Illinois, "Nebraska won
on her merits." But it was anybody's
game up to tho very laet down, and
the tnroug which paciied every avail
able corner of tho flel.! cheered every
t,nod play to the echo Foi Nebrnska
? every man did just what was ex-
3 pected. Booth's fighting machine ran
smoothes and more irrosistably than
over before. But opportunities were
plven to some of tho stars In Nebras-
v Ka-3 constellation to mine more oru
Hantly than others. Bender's work at
directing the team Was faultless. Never
erring, he directed his attacks at the
weakest places In his opponents' line.
Ills individual work ha3 never been
l . surnasped-. he alonTT being responsible
;or a large number of jards gained by
Nebraska. His 80-yard run for Ne
l raska's first touchdown was a fitting
close -to Twister's phenomenal foot
ball career. Signaling for u fake cen
tre buck with tho bail on Nebraska's
30-yard line, Bender, with Benedict to
interfere, omerged from the melee and
started for the far distant Illinois
goal. Two pursuing Illinois players
rwerc beautifully stopped by Benedict
and Bender, eluding the other man
botween him and tho goal, planted the
ball squarely between the goal posts.
It took the crowd five minutes to stop
Ehoutlng their admiration.
Oaplain Benedict gave as flue an
exhibition ot real" pluck and grit as
has over been witnessed. Ho eutered
tho game in a crippled condition and
Mb knee wns hurt tho hist down Time
and again he was forced to take time,
but he fought doggedly on ind loft
tho game -only when h's tortured body
could stand no more. Even In his
weakened condition he hold his own
splendidly; tow gaJ'.s. woro made
round Cap'B end and his punts cov
ered Uie usual fifty yards. In tho back
field Eager, Mason and Weller al
ways could be relied upon for gains.
It was Wellor's first gamo and tho way

NE6RASKANS WIN OUT
Intel -Collegiate Cross Country
Runs Won by Cornhuskers.
Nebraska slgaalea her entrance into
( ross-country competition in Chicago
Thankfjriing by winning the cross-
(ountry iiin held under tho auspiqes
of the Intercollegiate Cress Country
association. Up to the last mlnuto
the teams representing Northwestern,
'Minnesota, Wisconsin nnd Purdue,
wero expected, hut nono put In an ap
peal ance, and tho University of Chi
cago team was our only competitor.
Of the first six men across tho finish
h.ie four were Nebrnjkans, we get
ting firt, second, fourth, blxth and
ninth. Capt. States vlnnlng first,
beating Havens by a close six Inches;
Heath getting fourth, Hnuser sixth
and Sampson ninth place. Havens
and Hnuser ran remarkable races.
.The former lost his snoe bofore the
run was half ocr, and ran the re
mainder of tho courfao In his stock
ing foot. Hauser, when a short dis
tance troni the finish, went clear
blind His eyes have been bothering
him a good deal of late, and the Btrain
wtis too much. His sight returned in
a short time and he resirmed the race,
I eating out the other Chicago men
for sixth place. Vhen compelled to
i top ho was up with .he leaders, and
but lor his fnlsfortuno would have
been much nearer first. Capt. States
end Hae:is fought it out for first
1-lacc, the former overhauling the lat
ter and winning by a narrow margln
loth being some ten yards ahead of
Cnbago's neaiest man. The course
was 4 miles long, commencing at
Jackson Park, jiear the University of
Chicago campus it ran east 'for a mile
and a half then south across the park
back past the unlver&it' to Wash
ington park nnd thence to tho finish,
a small portion of'lt bolng on macad
Most of the course was on grass, only

Cornell won a 6-mile inn in ;i3 min
utes, at about a :5:30 pace. Their race
was a milo and n half longer, but
States and Havens fin'hed strong and
fresh at Chicago, and could, easily have
kept un the paco, aud bettered I), had
uiey been pressoa" to? another' mile
and a naif. It Is to b regretted that
there were not moro'UUlvorsltlos rep

this first run will bring out more

, In spite of the usual cent about
contrcte art tho old Morality of'
Everyman appears' vill capanlo of
producing a very strong nnd profound
impression when actually exhibited
on tho stage. And this offort seems at
Hist sight tho more lunarkabio, per
loipB, oecniiHo tho pla is, it raiiEt bo
confoFsed, rather droary reading, It
:s, In one aspect, so obviously obso
lete, sr. purely tentative and tran
sitional, a mere lnu, aa Epctotu
would say, on the load of dramatic
development, that oven the student 1b
not unlikely to lose pntionco in its
perusal. And oven thougbthls eonso
of offotencBs .fall nwayfn noting or
lemalns only as a kipf of quaintness,
an interesting ovldelico of its nntlq
uity, leaving tho .sneer eloraontal per
Our
ception or its hirtnanlty behind; yet so '.
much of the.orchnic i'oos still persist (
that to it8.'ful! appreciation somo lit-
tie preparation Is almdfct cscsntiai.
The iJlay, which is unquestionably
tho ''most favorable Specimon of
Morality In existence, was first pre
sented by John Skot or 8cott of Lon
don, about 1529 and ran, nono too'rap
idly, through four editions during the-
courso of tho sixteenth century. Its
-composition, however," date's, In ill" " "
probability, from the reign of Edward
IV, 1461-1483. Such at any rate
would apear to bo tho general fashion
o: It. Tho fablo Is brlofly as follows:
The hero, Everyman, who in ac
cordance with tho usual dramatic con
vention of tho tlmo and tho genre
represents tho rnco, h'lmanseno gonus,
!s unexpectedly summoned by Death
to make up his earthly accounts and
prepare for his last- long journey.
"On thee thou must take a long
journey,
Therefore thy book of count With
thee then bring."
Naturally Everyman Is unready;1
but to all his appeals Death remains
obdurate only, he -will allow him on
his melancholy Journey the society of
any who are willing for old sake's
sake to accompany him. In the
straights Everynian appeals first to his
familiars, Fellowship, Kindred, and
Goods. But they, as soon aa they un
derstand the nature of the undertak
ing; begin with one accord to make
excuses Cousin, for one, has a cramp
in his great toe. Had it iieen an In
vitation to debauchciy, they say, a
matter of drinking, timing, or oven
murder, thoy might have accommo
dated him; but for this eort of an af
fair thoy hnvb no stomach. Being
by this tlmo at his wit's ond Every
man finally bethinks himself of Good" '
Deeds, whom he has boon consistently -neglecting
nlL-his life. But she, when
he has at last hunted her up, Is toD
feeble to stir, much more to follow ,
him. All she can do it Jto recommend
.him to Knowledge by'whom.jKoift di
dected to Confession, and by tle' JUUrJ:
ter's help is assisted to put away his
sins. On his return he finds, Good
Deed's up and about. And rtlid two of
them, together,. with Strength? Beauty
and Five Wits, set out in solemn: nro-
.cession .for the tomb. At sight- ofait, f ' JL J
