CYCLONES WIN
NEBRASKA LOSES HARD-FOUGHT
GAME TO STURDY FARMERS.
First Home Defeat In Six Years Corn-
huskers Make Game Fight
Visitors Muoh Heavier.
Nebraska went down before Ames
In defeat last Saturday to the score
of 14-2. Outwolgbed," facing men of
greater experience, and handicapped
by Injuries, the Cornhuskers showed
that they knew how to play the nervi
est kind of a losing game, fighting
blttorly to the .Very end.
The game emphasized the predic
tion of our own coach that the new
rules put a premium on flukes. With
all due respect for the strength of the
Ames team, It may bo safely said that
'the scoro does not justly measure the
'respective strength of the two teams.
Eliminating the lucky chances which
gave Ames her first field goal and only
touchdown, the scoro would have been
4-2. and under the old rules, who
,
knows.
' One thing was very evident, that
neither team could gain ton yards in
three downs consistently. At no time
before have the new rules had so
thoro u test and on no occasion Jiayo
they proved so flat a failure. Both
teams were well schooled in the new
style of game, but neither by trick
nor by straight pla was either able
to retain the ball, and the game large
ly resolved Itself Into a punting duel,
in which a fluke mlghl turn the score
one way or the other. That the new
rules have good points Is very evi
dent; perhaps but few will deny-that
football Is a moro varied and Inter
esting game, but to say tho-Jeast ten
ynrd seems too far to carry the ball in
three downs..
With two weks for preparation,
the team should bo Intoxcollont shape
to meet Minnesota, and' they" will play
as good or hotter game than If they
had beaten Ames. 'One thlngfls" sure,
they will play their very host
game whether beating or beaten.
One thing 1b sure, they will play.
After Its most plucky showing in
the face of defeat the team deserves
and needs the support of the studonts,
and it is up to them to help make the
season yet bo a glorious one for Ne
braska. The: game In detail follows:
Bill Johnson kicked of at 3:5Crpnn.
and Nebraska got the ball qn.jy.ium
bio near the Ames 50 yard' line. John
son made 8 yards around left end, but
Donslow lost 4 trying the other en1.
Nebraska was forged to ( punt and
Ames returned, after falling to make
4he required gain. After more punt
ing, a fumble gave Ames the ball on
Nebraska's 40 yard line. Nebraska

WARD 0 ALASKA
DEAN WARD TALKS OF OUR
NORTHERN TERRITORY.
Not a
Region of Ice Alone Its Vast
AreaVariety of Climate
Commerlcal Resources.
Dean Ward of the Collogo of Medi
cine gave a most interesting nnd-in--structivo
'talk on "Alaska" at Convo
cation yostorday morning. It Is a
prevalent Idea, ho said, that Alaska is
a cold Arctic province, Inhabited by
wild boasts, nn undesirable nnd somo
what tragic place. .This is a falso
idea, for altho a hind full of hard
ships, Alaska 1b u vory attructivo
country and has many opportunities.
Its bIzo 1b far greater than wo
think, for this provinco of tho United
States o'xtonds in longitudo from 130
degrees west to 173 degrees east, arid
in latitude from 51 degrees to 72 de
grees north. Its situation is slmllnr
to tnat or Scandinavia, Its northern
and southorn points corresponding re
spectively to tho North Cnpo of Nor
way and Copenhagen In Denmark.
Sitka, tho capital, is tho samo latitude
ob Edinburgh, Scotland. Alaska makos
the geographical center of our country
not In the United Statos proper, but
400 miles west of San Francisco in
tho Pacific ocean. The area is ono
fifth the total area of tho whole coun
try. If Alaska were projected upon
the United States Its northern point'
at the boundary lino of Canada, its
southorn point would cross into old
Mexico, and from east to west it Would
reach from South Carolina to LosAn
goles, California.
Tho most Important city in trade re
lations is Ketchikan, on .the Revillagl
gedo Island, whoro thoro is found. ,a
mixture of Spanish, Russian and Chi
noso elements. Tho population num
bers 1,100, but its ono storo carries a
stock of one-fourth million, doing 'n
business of $30,000 per month. Kotchi
lean Is 700 mlleB from Seattle, beyond
tho Portland canol which separates
Alaska from British Columbia, and be
hind the Prince of Wales Island. To
reach Ketchikan ships must pass thru
vpry narrow channels hundreds of feet
deep. The climate ranges from that of
Florida to that of Maine, tho mean
temperature being similar-to Washing'
ton, D. C, even warmer in. winter. Tho
only lco in Ketchikan is artificial, so
the fis'ij. trade is supplied from tho lco
plant or from a picco of iceberg from
tho north. Tho climate of southeast
Alaska Is Vory oven, and In the Yukon
Valley it is like that of North Dakota
or Montana but s9mowh.1t bettor for
farming purposes. Rainy, cloudy
weather is characteristic, yesterday
being a typical Alaskan dny. Tho
highest temperature reached was 84
degrees. '
In southeastern Alaska the land if,
broken, rocky and mountainous, with,
large ocean inlota. Strange to say, tho .
forests and undeigroVvth are vory
thick, resembling a tropical, jungle,
thus' making it difficult to travel by
land. All roadways are made of
planks built upon a trestle, so most of
tho transportation is by water. Thoro
