FACES A TRIO OF HARD GAMES NEBRASKA WILL MEET COLORADO, AMES AND KANSAS ON THREE SUCCESSIVE SATURDAYS It CornhusKers Win These Games They Will Have Achieved the Greatest Triumph in the History ot NcbrasKa Football. Thp University of Nebraska football team' began practlco ystbrday aftor noon for the Colorado contest Satur day, which is tho first of n trio of hard games that tho Cornhuakors will play on threo successive Saturdays. Thore will not be any lot up In tho practice until after these games. No other Nebraska eleven ever faced as hard a schodulo of threo sue huskorB will moot Kansas at Lawrence and from present prospects will bo able to tako sweet revongo for tho Ig nominious defeat of last year. Each of these three teams lit strong and ought to glvo Nebraska tho closest and Young to their llno-up makes .tho CornhusKers appear a Httlo stronger than tho Aggies. Minnesota made eight points on field goals against each Nebraska and Ames and tho Cornhuakers made a touchdown against the GophoM, boating Arnds scoring record against Minnesota by flvo points. Tho manner in which Ne braska mado her touchdown (on a long run nftor tho ball had been fum bled) gives tho Cornhuakors no groat or strength In a comparison of tlib two teams. It was such a touchdown as even a weak eleven Is liablo at any time to make on a real strong toam. 1 the Squad That is Playing Championship Football For Nebraska ftk. M4" '-,:&: .-, KMi'.w 't .

' 1 25 f '1' ' lAn' t -9iTl - tff'mfyif' y-j -vix J Nebraska was first to score, Kroger making a touchdown after getting the ball wiCh a clear field after a fumblo. Caprpn dropped two field goals before the first half ended, putlng Minnesota in the lead.. Neither team was able to score in the, socpnd half. Weller kicked off for Nebraska to Capron on Minnesota's fifteen yard line. Falling to gain through the line, Capron punted toC6ok' at mldfield. Minor skirted for ten yards. Weller s6on tried a drop kick which foil Bhort, and Capron made a return of twenty yards to Minnesota's forty-five yard line. " A forward pass went wild and No braska was penalized fifteen yards. Weller punted to Gapron, wTia return ed twenty yards but dropped tKe ball. Kroger picked up the ball and with a Nebraska kicked off to Shuknecht, Syho returned to Minnesota's thirty yard line. Rademacher mrtdo a run around left end foi thirty yards. Ca pron soon punted to Weller on Ne braska's thirteen yard line. The Corn huakers punted' to their thlrty-flvo yard line..

Soon after tho next klckoff Weller -punted fifty yards for Nebraska. Shuti necht made first down and Chase fol lowed with seven yards. Capron punt ed forty yards and the ball was car ried back twenty yards by Cooke. Minor then went around Mowrey for fifteen yards. The Cornhuskera were (Continued on Pago 3.) kind of a rub. Of the trio Ames un doubtedly Is the strongost and Is the one most fpared by "King'J Colo and his pupils. The Aggies have a fast and powerful bunch and a week ago were able to give tho Gophers a bad scare, holding them to two field goals a repetition of which exhibition Ne braska gave Saturday. The Bhow(ngs made by AmeB and Nebraska in their respective games with Minnesota give the Cornhuskers a little 0ie bettor of tho "dope." SO far as cdncorned defensive work and ground gaining ability the two eleven's appeared about equal. The fact, now ever that NobraBka met Minnesota a week later than Ames did and after tho Gophers had- had another week's hard practice and had been materially strengthened by tho addition of Caso On tho whole the Cornhuskers and tho Iowa Aggies appear to bo' evenly matched and the contest here a week from Saturday promises to be one of the greatest battles ever fought on a Nebraska Hold. Ames has- some .won derful players who undoubtedly will keep Nebraska -guessing. Their quar ter, Jensen, is a star, punter and la one of the cleverest little football men In tho west. But before the Cornhuskers . meet tho Iowa Aggies they will have to do battle with Colorado and according to present prospects will have to fight Just as hard as they did against Min nesota in order to defeat the ftou'lder ltes.
