puzzling brilliancy and invincible
strength which they used in wresting
a victory from the Jayhawkern' the
week before. Ames never had a
chance, and the Cornhuskers proved
beyond all doubt that they are entitled
to first place among the Vnlle

"King" Cole. He went to work dc

best pieces of football machinery i
had ever seen. Me succeeded. The
Cornhuskers hae gone over the Mis

Arter one more game, to be played
here with the Haskell Indians on

will be banqueted in royal style and
will retire from their activities in ath
letics. "King" Cold can go to his
western orchards and pile up his for

ments behind him. The only thing left
is the hope that the "King's" all-year
successor will do as good work with
the 1'.'M 1 squad.
Ames Was Outplayed.
Ames was outplajed at every turn.
The Nebraska goal line was never in
danger. Ames getting the oval on Ne

plunges were non-atoppnble, the Ames
line breaking nearly every time the

The star play of the game was made
b Captain Temple. With Nebraska's

Temple got away' on a fake end run

yard line. Rnthbone went over the
line for a touchdown on a lino plunge.
Nebraska's backs played a brilliant
game, hitting the line, pulling off for
ward, jiadses running the ends and
putting up a plenuld Interference.
Owen Frank was at his best and many
times tore through the Ames tacklers
for big gains without -Interference.

and water amounting to upwards of
$1,1101). the state university Snuirduj
morning sustained the most serious
lire loss in its history. The damage
to 'the loot" and interior equipment o
i lie building will entaln an f 8,000 loss
on the universitj itself. An additional
loss is sustained by professors and
studonts who lost several thousand
dollars' worth of books and Instru
ments. The lire was llrst dscovered by em
ployes in the administration building,
who saw smoke and ManieB issuing
from a ventila'tlng shaft near the front
of the burning structure. When the
dei.artnient arrived che encire fourth
Moor wib ablaze, and for a time It ap
peared that the building was doomed.
The slow-burning construction kept
the flames from spreading rapidly,
however, and the lire was under con
trol after an hour's hard work. In nil-
other hour It was entirely out.
Short Circuit the Cause.
The lire was apparently caused by
; slfort circuit in the electric wiring
between the third and fourth Moors.

which parallels the stairway from the
top of the building to the basement.
Strenuous work by students, armed
with a few chemical lire extinguish
ers, failed to check the Humes wnen
first discovered.
As soon ns students collected they
began a systematic attempt to save
all that could he moved from the
burning building. The student volun
teers removed libraries, chairs, desks,
and other furnishings in great quanti
ties. These were stored in vacant
rooms In nearby buildings. The amount
s:ied in tills manner from water dam
age totaled hundreds of dollars.
Water Damage Great.

Uefore the lire hud been entirely
extinguished arrangements were being

ing period. A meet lug or instructors
in the building was called immediately
b Chancellor Avery, it was then de
cided to use rooms in the Temple and
in the new engineering building to
house sii'h classes as could here 'be
accommodated. Shifting of some
classes to other hours and the use of
some additional rooms off the campus
will provide for others.
The university tarries no insurance,
since the premiums would amount to
many times the fire loss and the prop
erty of the individuals was largely
non-lnsiirable. The building wub erect

As a result of the Mre the registrar
