PUT SUBSTITUTES IN THE BACK FIELD Twenty-five Minute Halves Devoted to Game In Which Doane Made Distance Only Three Times. In a game almost dovold of fea tures or Bpectacular playing the Corn hUBkers defeated Doano Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. Tho afternoon was warm, almost sultry, making tho work Blow and Bluggisb. The Cornhuskors woro In structed in the beginning to take no chances in attempting to run up a big score. Cole was content to win tho game on a narrow margin in order to savo his linoup intact for the Kan sas game. Not a Nebraska man was seriously Injured. Rathbono waB tho only man who rocolved anything that might bo called an injury. Early in the flrst half ho hurt his shoulder and was taken out nnd Hascall put in his place at quarter. Rathbono's in jury is slight, however, and ho will bo in flno fettle for tho gamo next Sat urday. Sub Back Field Used. When tho game started the Nebras ka regular line was UBed, but a substi tute back field consisting of Elliott at full and Sturtzonegger and McDonald at halves, was sent in. Tho back Hold subs were not vory well up on team work. Their work was slow and they could not act together. Tho inability of the back field to deliver disconcert ed the lino somewhat In tho flrst part of the gamo and throw them off. They showed Btondy Improvement as the game progressed however, nnd were going pretty good before time was called. Tho halves woro short, being only twonty-flvo minutes. ThiB fact, to gethcr with tho sultriness, of the day nnd tho icar of Injuries accounts fpr the low score. Tho team omorged from tho gamo in such good condition that when timo was called for tho sec ond half, Conch Colo Bent tho men through Borne llast signal work to warm them up before tholr bath. About fifteen hundred spectators saw tho gamp, a goodly number of whom woro from Doane. Tho Doane rooters occuplod tho west ond of tho grand stand and- woro conspicuous by their colors and their rooting. Somo good-natured repartees wore ex changed between tho Doano leader and some of the Nebraska rooters. Doane put up a good gamo oven if they did not score. They have a heavy team and a good lino. Twice their line hold heroically' whon the ball was on their throe-yard lino, but thoy woro Anally beaten down and tho ball shoved over for Nebraska's, first touchdown.' Many Substitutes. Many substitutes wefo made after Nebraska' had scored. Wenstrand went in for Wolcott, Spollmoyor for Temple and Froltng for Shonka. In tho last fow minutes Beltzer' and FrAnck wont in to llvon up the back field. Tho gamo was almost devoid of fea tures. Somtf of Sturtzcncgger's re turns of punts in the first half were good one especially when he returned for over thirty yards. "Stutts' " play ing was hard at all times and ho suf forod somo severe bruises in tho flrst half. The feature of tho game how over, was Captain Beltzor's groat run towards tho close of tho second half. He caught a short punt almost in the middle of the field and by a fine exhi bition of dodging, shifting the ball, and stiff arming, he ran forty-five yards diagonally across the field to within five yards of Doano's goal line. From here Harte carried tho ball over for Nebraska's second touchdown. The First Half. Doane won tho toss' and chose to defend the west goal. Sturtzenogger kicked off for Nebraska', Tho ball was worked sldwly back by Doano, but they soon lost on a fumble which enabled Elliott to fall tin the ball, giving i to Nebraska in tho conter of the field. A series of punt exchanges WE followed, with tho result that tho play worked Into Doane territory. Nebraska followed with a touchback. A punt by Doano brought tho ball to tho center of tho field, where the Donne lino hold well and Nebraska punted to their ton yard lino. A good return was made, but a fumble followed and Johnsqn secured the ball. A forward pass from Rathbono to Magor made a gain of seventeen yards for tho Cornhuskors and placed tho ball on the three-yard lino. Horo tho Doane lino again hold well, allowing Harte to make only a single gain. On the third down Temple carried the ball for a touchdown, and Rathbono kicked goal, making tho score six to nothing for the Cornhuskers. On the next kickoff Doane fumbled but recovered, and tho play was soon in the middle of tho field. Hartwell, tho captain nnd right end of .the Doane team, followed with a good end run. making a five-yard gain. Doane then punted and Nebraska returned tho ball down tho field for Bteady gains on line bucks. On a punt Donne fumblod but regained the ball, re punting and Hartwell capturing the ball for Doano. Another punt fol lowed and Sturtzenogger roturned the ball to the same part of the field, tho Interference of tho Cornhuskers being good. But aftor a couple of downs Nebraska lost tho ball on a fumble, but soon regained it and it was worked down tho field in the Doane territory. Timo was called with the play on the Doano olghteon-j'nrd line. The 8econd Half. At the beginning of the second half Dutch went In for Hobort and Grif fith for Arnold in tho Doano lineup, and during tho remnlnder of tho play a number of changes were made. Early in the half Nebraska again used the forwnrd paas for good gains and also on side kicks. From tho thirty-yard line in Nebraska torritory tho Corn huskors carried the ball down tho field to the Doano twenty-six-yard line, all of the distance mndo on lino bucks, with the exception of ono forward pass. Doane punted on securing the ball. The punt was taken in by Beltzer, who made the sensational run of the day, carrying tho ball from the middle or the field to within a fow yards of the goal, which was followed by the second touchdown for the Cornhusk ors. Once in the last half tho bull was on tho Nobraska five-yard line. Doane kicked a touchback, and while the play was on the twenty-yard lino Nebraska was penalized fifteen yards, but n kick by Beltzer placed tho play well out In tho field. Nebraska tried for a place kick during the last half, but this was blocked and tho Cornhuskors lost about thirty yards as well as tho ball.

KANSAS IS THE BETTING FAVORITE Jayhawkers' Offensive Machine Gives Them the Edge Over Cornhusk ers Cole May Upset the Dope. BY E. C. ELLIOTT. Who will bo tho 1909 champions of tho Missouri Valloy conforonco? Throe toams Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri still aro ologiblo for tho covoted honor, tho other members of tho "Big Sovon" having boon removod from tho rnco by tho provlouB gaihoB of tho autumn. Iowa, tho last of tho strong contend ers for tho tltlo, was eliminated by Missouri in tho 13 to 12 gamo at Iowa City Saturday. Amos, in per mitting Missouri to play it a tie ono week ngo, had its hopes shattered. Kansas disposed of Washington in easy fashion on tho same aftornoon tho "Show-Mo" contirigont was lower ing tho colors of Clydo Williams' pu pils at the Iowa agricultural collogo. Jjraito, moeting only members of tho Iowt state collogo loaguo, has no claims on tho valloy prize. Nebraska vs. Kansas. Of tho trio remnlnlng in tho con test, Nebraska and Kansas appear 'to bo the teams that will really sottlo the championship question. Missouri ic strong this fall much stronger than In any recent season but Its rather poor ahowhig against Iowa Saturday indicates that it will have little chance of defeating tho Jayhawk era In tho annual clash at Kansas City on Turkey dny. Coach Ropor has turned out a re markably fine eleven for tho Columbia Institution, and in ordinary seasons probably would bo a stroncr favorlto over Kansas. This' -fall, however, coach Kennedy has dovelopod an eleven that Is fully as powerful as the aggregation that was "all-victorious" last fall, and 'westorn football critics can only see defeat for 'Mis souri. Removing MlBBOurl from the raco, ns tho "dope" demands It should be, there nro loft tho two old rivals, Nebraska and Kansns, to fight for the conference supremacy. In the showings up to the present time tho Jayhawkers are favorltos over the Cornhuskors. Men of tho betting fraternity pick them to win the annual clash on Nebraska field next Saturdny. Kansas Undefeated. Kansns has come through its first half of tho schedule without suffering a single defeat. In several of Its games It has been able to use substi tutes. Even against Washburn Satur day Kennedy did not permit tho Btar back, Bond, to work. Nebraska, on the other hand, hns suffered ono defeat and has been tied once. The gamo lost went to Minne sota, a team that undoubtedly will be the champions of tho west and ono that Kansas could have held to no lower scoro than 'the Cornhuskers did, so that defeat Is indicative of nothing that can be taken as "dopo" in com paring Nebraska and Kansas. With Iowa the Cornhuskers, of course, were' handicapped by tho ab sence of their regular quarter, whose presence would undoubtedly havo given thorn the game. Kansas could have defeated Iowa easily. But couldn't it have made a better show ing against Iowa than even Nebraska could, had Cole been blessed with for tune and had his regular quarter in the lineup? Kansas''Good Offense. Most answers .to this question must bo in tho affirmative, for Kansas has a .scoring, machine tho like of which has not been developed at Nobraska yet. . Kansas haska powerful back, field and Nebraska's has not been prayed very r strong. In the Minnesota and Iowa .games the CorahUBker offense was deplor ably ' weak. It was only on tho de fense, against tho Gophers thai; Cole's men played well. On tho offense they .Continued on Fape 4 l .f,l m
