In tho final game of. their schedule
yesterday afternoon tho CornhuBkora
were defeated by the Carlisle Indians
by a score of 37 to 6. A Carlisle
victory was not altogether unexpected
but it was not thought that tho defeat
would bo by such a largo margin.
The Cornhuskers were simply out-

classed by tho redskins and, with, the
exception of short braces which tho
Nebraskans took at Intervals, Coach
Colo's pupils were simply played off
their feet
It was feared that tho facts of tho
game's being played In tho middle of
tho week, that It was a post-season
gamo and that tho weather for several
days had been vory cold, would pre
vent a vory large attendance at the
gamo. Notwithstanding all of these
adverse circumstances, however, tho
crowd yesterday was as largo as any
that has been seen at Antelope park
this year. Tho admission price was
higher thanat previous games but
the people did not seem to hesitate
about going on" this account and con
sequently Nebraska's share of tho re
ceipts will amount to a goodly sum.
A Great Contest.
Tho contest watsundeniably a groat
ono though perhapB not as spectacular
and hair raising as many others seen
on, tho Nebraska gridiron. The Corn
huBkors went into tho gamo in the
best shape they have been in for
weeks and consequently they were
able to put up tho beBt exhibition
which they were capahlo of.
Tho Indians, too, were In fine phys
ical condition with, tho exception of
two or three men who were still
nursing bruises resulting from tho
Minnosota and St. Louis games. In
fact they were able to put up a strong
er front against tho CornhuskorB than
they were against either Minnesota
or St. Louis. In tho Gopher gamo
neither Balentl, tho groat quarter-back,
nor Wauseka, who played such a pow
erful game at loft tackle yesterday,
were in the line-up; and in the St.
Louis contest Coach Warner saved
the team as much as possible by re
placing tho regulars with substitutes
as soon as the outcome of tho gamo
was assured. For these reasons the
redskins put up' a powerful front yes
terday and the Cornhuskers may be
slightly consoled by tne fact that they
were defeated by tho best team that
Loach Warner was able to muster and
therefore by one of the best aggrega
tions in the United States.
Carlisle's Strength.
The showing of tho Indian team in
yesterday'B contest gave tho specta
tors a chance to witness an exhibition
of football that was in many respects
almost marvellous, Nothing has ever
been seen in Lincoln to compare with
the wonderful interference put up by
tho Carlisle players and in other de
partments of the game they were al
most as perfect. On end runs and in
running back punts the line of inter
ference put up by tho Aborigines was
well night Impenetrable and some
times as many as five or six Cornhusk-

er tucklerB would bo bowled ovor be
fore the runner could bo downod. No
bniflka'B ends and backs were success
fully blocked repeatedly, allowing tho
redskin runners to make great gains
and only occasionally did tho Corn
buskers brace and put up an impreg
nable defense.
Cornhuskers Played Well.
It Is not to be Inferred from tho
groat showing of tho Indians that
Coach Cole's pupils did not play a
good game. At frequent intervals
both on the offense and the defense
they mono than held their own aginst
the red men, but these periods wore
not of long enough duration to keep
down tho redskins' score or to pile up
ono against them.
Chaloupka was good for frequent
substantial gains through the Carlisle
line and around their right end; Belt
zer and Birkner made considerable dis
tance around tho ends; and on punts
Nebraska usually had the advantage
in distance, although tho Carlisle
backs excelled In running them back.
Nebraska used the forward pass suc
cessfully three UmeB and waB not
penalized on account of failing to ex
ecute it successfully a single time.
Tho Indians, too, had a very clever
forward pass by which thoy made
several gainB, but on three or four
occasions their attempts to ubo It
wore friiHtrntcd. Tln piny was a crlBB

way a fitting cloao to a romarkablo
football soason. Enthusiasm at tho
work of tho coach and tho team waB
evident at all timos and ospoclally
was appreciation of the difficulties
which it haB been nocossary for tho
team to ovorcomo shown by thoso
present. The question of a now ath
letic field was fully discussed and It
was tho unanimous opinion of all those
who spoke that boforo another year
goep by Nobraaka must bo tho pos
sessor of an athlotic field of its own.
Governor Sheldon Present.
Govornor Sheldon showed his sin
cere IntoroBt in tho unlvorslty and his
dcBlro for tho success of football by
boing present at tho banquot and
making a short talk, which, like tho
speech of every person who was called
upon, indicated tho beginning of a
now era in Nebraska athlotlcs and
Nebraska spirit. Govornor Sheldon
had a doublo Interest in being present
as ho is not only a graduate of the
unlvorslty but also a devoted football
enthusiast.
Colonel J. C. Bills acted as toast
master, and boforo Introducing the
speakers spoke briefly on the subject
that is now of most vital Importance
to tho success of athletics at Nebras
ka tho acquisition of a now athlotic
field. With the experience of tho past
year as a basis for his statement, he
said that he had no hesitation in de
claring that Nebraska would own her
own athlotic field boforo another year
passed. If the legislature refused to
appropriate the money then a sub
scription will be started among the
business men of tho town and Ne
braska would havo an athlotic field,
anyway.
King Cole Speaks. ,
King Cole was tho first speaker of
tho evening and was received with
cheers by the banqueters. King Colo
spoko in part as follows:
"I am scheduled to speak on the
'Peok-a-Boo,' but J am sure that such ,
a subjoct gives mo license to speak on
anything that I want to. Gentlemen,
tho men of the team appreciate a
thing of this kind. It brings home to
them how close they really are to
tho university and how much their
success means' to tho university. In
the gamo which wo played today I
think you all feel that the score was
no Indication of tho relative strength
of tho two teams. Under the new
gamo it 1b possible for many things
to happen that Influence the score
but do not really indicate the relative
strength of the two teams.
"It is a disgrace that wo have not
got an athletic field of our own. I
am Bpoakijig now from the standpoint
of a Nebraska man. There Is no senti
ment about going clear out to a pro
fessional park, there Is nothing to
insplro tho men to do their best
