CORNHUSKERS CRUSH HAWKEYS
IOWA DECISIVELY DEFEATED BY SCORE OF
12 TO O-PURDY, RUTHERFORD,
HALLIGAN, MASTER STARS
NEBRASKA IS CHAMPION OF WEST
Wonderful Record of Cornhuskers Only Equaled by
Chicago Game Spectacular and Thrilling
Witnessed by Immense Crowds
(by HUGH V. HARLAN.)
Playing a magnificent game of foot
ball that bankrupts the King's English
in an attempt to adequately describe
it, the mighty Cornhusker football ma
chine of the University of Nebraska
crushed the invading Hawkeys of the
University of Iowa and sent them back
to their native state, outplayed and de
feated by the decisive score of 12 to
0. On paper Nebraska appears to be
two touchdowns stronger than Iowa;
actually the Cornhuskers humbled the
alleged speed merchants from Iowa
by a total of five touchdowns. Hard
luck denied Nebraska three additional
counters.
Nebraska, Football Champion of West.
By virtue of the defeat of Minnesota
and Iowa, two teams that have defeat
ed all other teams of the Big Nine con
ference excepting Chicago. Nebraska
is Champion of the West. Chicago
cannot claim the undisputed western
title. Chicago has gone through her
entire season without defeat. Nebraska
has gone through her entire season
without defeat. Chicago bested Min
nesota 13 to 7; Nebraska defeated the
Gophers 7 to 0 , a difference of one
point in favor of Nebraska. Nebraska
defeated Minnesota when her strong
est team was in the field. Chicago de
feated Minnesota when' the Gophers
were at their weakest as several of her
stars had not recovered from the gruel
ling battle with Nebraska. Minnesota

THE RALLY AFTER THE GAME.
As It Really Was.
The last, the biggest game of the
season, had ended with a complete
victory over Iowa. The Cornhusk
ers were the kings of the west.
For a moment the thronged stands
were silent. Then there waa a
mighty murmur, a rush for home,
supper, and the stake-holders. The
band, paraded the streets, followed
by a few stragglers who were
pushed off the sidewalks by the
hurrying, homeward-bound crowd.
At night the old U-Hall bell tolled
a victorious note. Down below sev
enteen students, twenty street
urchins and a faithful band of co-eds
set up a feeble cheer. The three
piece band piped up while the fire
burned high on the field, forsaken
but for the small boys playing tag
and appreciating the Joke.
scored on Chicago but could not score
on Nebraska.
Chicago defeated Iowa early in the
season when the Hawkeyes had not
readied their highest development, by
the score of 123 to (. Nebraska pul
verized the Hawkeys when they were
at tlteir highest point of development
by the score of 12 to 0 (the count
should have been at least 30 to 0, five
touchdowns.) Iowa scored on Chicago
but could not push one over on Ne
braska. Coach Stagg is credited With
saying last week that should Iowa
again meet Chicago the Hawkeys
would beat the Maroons.
Does this look as the Chicago has
anything on Nebraska? There is no
doubt that Chicago has the strongest
team she has had for many moons but
iter record is no better than that of
Nebraska. Nor have the Mldwayits
any better claim to the premier hon
ors of the west than have the Corn
huskers. It is to be regretted that
these two teams cannot meet in a
post-season contest and decide once
and for all the championship of the
west. Inasmuch as such a game is im
possible because of conference rules,
Nebraska by virtue of her wonderful
reconL can and does claim the cham
pionship of the west, Chicago to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Iowa's Strength Not in Evidence.
The alleged speed and strength of
the Hawkeyes failed to materialize.
The much vaunted "spread" formation
was a pitiful failure. Not once were
the Iowans able to make a good dis
tance by its use. They attempted it
again and again, seemingly loathe to
believe that its potency was nil against
the Cornhusker defense. But the truth
of the matter is that they had little
else and when that failed they were
helpless.
The HawkeyeB came here favored
by all the Chicago dopesters and full
of confidence. Lured into a beautiful
serenity of mind by the lop-sided
scores they had been able to score
against very weak teams they came
admitting that they expected victory.
But they had not reckoned with Coach
Stiehm, the wonder worker.
Stlehm Baffles Hawkeyes.
The Hawkeyes had not played but
one real football team all season. They
thought their pet spread formations
and trick plays to be Invincible. But
when they ran up against the Corn
huskers they received the surprise of
their football career. They played the
best football they knew but their best
was not good enough to win. Coach
Leslie C. Stevens and Paul F. Means
were the successful Nebraska candi
dates In this year's Rhodes scholarship
examinations. Official announcement
of the results was received yesterday
b Chancellor Avery.
In addition to these two men, Paul
F Good and L Ross Newkirk, botli
of whom passed the examination last
year, are eligible for the scholarship
The selection will be made later.
Stevens graduated from Wesleyan
last spring He is tills year doing
graduate work in psychology at the
state university, and is assistant in
agricultural extension at the state
farm. He is a member of Silver Lynx,
and his home is in University Place.
Means attended Nebraska during the
year 1910-11)11. He came from Or
leans, Neb., and was a member of the
Buslinell Guild. From here he went
to Yale, where he is now a senior.
Good took the examination in all
subjects except Greek Inst year while
attending Amherst This ear lie reg
istered as a freshman law in the Uul
ersity of Nebraska, and took this
fall's examination in Greek.
Newkirk Is not certain whether or
not he will apply for the scholarship
this year. His success last fall leaves
him still in the running, but he may
not try to qualify. He is a junior law
in the university, is a graduate of Wes
leyan and is registered from Exeter.
The man among the four eligibles
who receives the appointment will be

The junior and senior classes will
clash Tuesday afternoon on the ath
letic field for the football supremacy
of the two classes. The game will be
called promptly at 4 o'clock.

one as both teams are in the pink of
condition and are coached by two able
generals, Racely and Zumwlnkle.
These men are anxious to have a rec
ord breaking crowd and all members
of those classes should be out to the
game as well as a good representation

The last, the biggest game of the
season had ended with a complete
victory over Iowa. The Cornhuskers
were the kings of the west. The
stands rocked with the cheers of
the crowd, and in the streets of
Lincoln a long line of celebrating
students twisted an snaked-danced
for hours. At night, while the band
blared a triumphant march, hun
dreds of men some old and long
since graduated, others still in their
first year at Nebraska U. heaped
high the giant bonfire. They
pledged anew loyalty to the 8carlet
and Cream, while their cheers for
the unvanqulshed Eleven mounted
with the flames.
