.
MI880URI STILL A CONTESTANT
FOR GRIDIRON HONORS OF
BIG MUDDY CONFERENCE.
LIGHT, PAST TEAM COMING HERE
Handicapped By Loss of Captain, the
Southern Team Is Yet a Formid
able Competitor.
'Nebraska moot? Missouri In nor
first contest for tho championship of
tho Missouri Valley next Saturday on
Nebraska Field.
Missouri' suffered this year in tho
loss of Captain Hackney, star half
back of tho Tiger olovon, but othor
wIbo fortune has favored tho paw-paw
eaters in thoir 1911 season. The
Ames game came as a blow to tho
Mlssourlans for they - had expected
tho Farmer aggregation to bo easy.
Tho Tigers are nevertheless still af
ter tho Valloy title.
Biggest Game.
Nebraska is counted aB their big
gest game this Beason, in fact if thoy
win tho Nebraska gamo thoy would
almost be willing to loso any gamo
of the schedule almost thoir yearly
mix with Kansas.
This .is the first time Missouri has
met tho Cornhuskers since 1902, when
tho Tigers wore givon tho ninth suc
cessive beating, never having taken a
gamo from tho Cornhuskers oxcopt
one forfeited by Nebraska In 1892.
.Thus with tjio scoring standing 220
for Nebraska against 47 for tho Tig
ers, tho southern Bchool Is sending
up a speedy light team, ono well
matched to meet tho Cornhuskers at
thoir own gamo.
Ames proved too heavy and too
strong for tho Tigers. Nebraska will
have to win- by means of that wonder
ful backflold.
Hackney Will Come.
Captain Hackney will accompany
tho team hero and may get in for a
few moments of the gamo, but acting
Captain Shuck will bo depended upon
to do tho booting.
There will bo few Tiger rootors
with tho team as it is a long Jour
ney to Nebraska Field from Columbia,
but, tho MlBBour team is coming with
spirits raised considerably from tho
level they would havo been upon had
Nebraska walloped the Gophers.
NEW SYSTEM IN, GIRLS' GYM
PLAN DEVISED TO ELIMINATE
PETTY THIEVERY IN GIRL8'
GYM.
No articles havo been reported
stolen from tho Girls' gymnasium this
year. This is duo to a now system of
caring for the co-ed's valuables, es
tablished by Miss Glttings. Racks
havo been provided, on which coats
may be hung, sp that tho lockers may
bo locked during the time tho class
is on the floor.
In former years the department has
loen troubled, a great deal by petty
'nleviug. Artie jes of all kinds from
small plus to. silk droBsofl, have been
stolen. It 1b hoped that tho now sys
tem will do away with this .trouble.
NEBRASKA LOSES HARD
GAME TO GOPHERS
AT MINNEAPOLIS
By a score of 21-3 .Minnesota d
foated NobraBka on .Northrop Fiojil
last Saturday. Tho game was one or
he fastest and hnrdost over wit
nessed in the wcBt, and was not do
tormlnod until lato in tho last quar
ter whon McAlmon, Gopher half back
smashed through the battered Corn
huskor line for the third and Inst
touchdown. Until that timo, tho
CornhuBkors always had a flghtlnp
chanco to tie or win, and save for
tho fow moments in the third quar
tor when tho moBt of the scoring wna
dono, tho boys from Nobraska looked
to bo the more dangerous of the two
teams. During those fow mlnutoa,
howover, the Cornhuskers quite ai
rarontly were played off their feet,
and before they recovered from tho
shock, the game was gone past re
covery. Minnesota Team Heavy.
From the first appearance of tu
two teams It waB nppnrent that NV
biaska was badly outweighed. Tho
Minnesota men are estimated to havo
averaged botwoon seven and eight
pounds more per man, but the Corn
huskers wjre much tho more fleet In
the backflold, and got off the plays
much moro speedily than did the
Gophers.
A fumble of the first klclcoff by
Warner, put our goal In danger at
once, and another fumble In tho llri
attempt to carry the ball, gave tic

-territory.
Foiled Three Times.

At the beginning of tho second

fumble of a forward pass after a good

ho rallied remarkably, and put it
over for tho first touchdown of the
game. In a fow minutes aftor play

THE BAND GOT BACK
SERENADE ON THE CAMPUS AT
NOON YESTERDAY ALEX
ANDER A FAVORITE.
The band went some.
Tooting in brave, array the cadet
band of the University of Nebraska
arrived in Lincoln Monday morning,
marching to the University campus,
where It was welcomed by tho stu
dent body. The musicians looked
tired after " their long trip but worq
jolly and boiserous as ever.
It was clearly demonstrated by tho
musical bunch of tho rooters' crowd
that they could carry suitcases with
ono hand and play with tho other
such music as "Alexander's Rag Timo
Band." Thoy wore led by Ray Cran
cer carrying the standard or flag of
the cadet battalion.
On the way to Minnesota Crancer
broke the big bass drum and some
of the band men are telling some fun
ny stories about the "accident:". The
story reached tlio.ear of the Nebras
kan's most, romantic, reporter and He,
even ho refused to print anything
about it. "Just ask Crancer how it
happened," ho remarked.
